  • Then fucking sell the property and cut your losses. Why is it that landlords are sacrosanct people that make money regardless of the bad "investment" they made?

    The GDP is so tied to the real estate that we see inane shit like that.

  • It's always the same thing.

    Corpo push dog-shit idea and receives backlash.

    Pull back for a moment, and goes a little bit softer than the last and see if it sticks.If it sticks, it becomes the new standard for every similar corpo.

    Rinse and repeat.

    Just look at when Bethesda tried to sell a horse armor for Skyrim. Now it's the norm.

  • You are the one with reading skills issue. OP said he doesn't have money for the meal plans items.

    Depending on where you are, eating fruits and veggies in season will be a lot less expensive and somewhat satiating if mixed with inexpensive fats and proteins.

    Nuts are expensive as hell, avocado are expansive as well. Even super greens are getting expensive.

  • At this point, we can boil down everything to a nutrient paste with no flavor to be healthy. But very few people would be able to endure that.

    This is a terrible advice to not eat fruits when trying to lose weight. The diet fatigue is real, and eating an apple can at least take off the edge when its getting harder in the later weeks. I know it did for me when I wanted to eat junk food.

    And the goal is also to develop healthy habits, and having fruits add to the variety of available food.

    I mean, you are technically correct, but it won't help anyone trying to change their lifestyle.

  • That's such a dumb take. Fruits are like the second best thing after vegetables in their ration of satiation per calorie.

    Added sugar is completely different beast from the sugar in fruits and vegetables.

    You would need to eat an ungodly amount of fruits for it to be bad for your health.

  • Look up the YouTube series on that very topic from Renaissance Periodization. It helped me loss 30 pounds and keep them off for more than 6 months now.

    Extreme low calorie diet are not sustainable for long, especially if you are starting out.

    First thing first, count your calories for a week or two to get the baseline calorie consumption for your current weight. Try to not change your normal food consumption while taking your first baseline calories because it will make the first weight loss cycle more difficult than it needs to be.

    Then, start by removing 250 calories from your diet and burn 250 calories every day for 6 to 9 weeks.

    Then, go into maintenance where you slowly add a bit more food and stabilize your weight. If you see that you are gaining weight during the maintenance, just cut back a little bit and keep that calorie intake as your maintenance intake. That will become your calorie baseline for the next cycle.

    Repeat until your goals are met. Don't hesitate to take a longer maintenance break if you feel like it.

    That will give you a sustainable way to lose weight and you will also learn to count calories without weighing everything you eat.

    If you can easily cut 250 calories without any problem, try to cut more calories the next cycle, and see how it goes. If it's too hard, then go back to 250/250 calories cut.

    As for the food, I don't know where you live, but nutritional yeast is a cheap way to add protein to any meals and add a cheesy flavor to the meal.

    As for fat, cheap nuts or neutral oil can help meet your needs.

    And for carbs, seasonal fruits and vegetables are usually cheaper, so go with that.

    The only thing you should take from this post is that slow and steady is the name of the game. You are fighting millions of years of evolution, so it won't be easy.

    TLDR: slow and steady. Cut 250 cal from your diet and burn 250 calories from activity for 6-9 weeks. Maintain for the same amount of time. Repeat.

  • I could technically disapprove of something and still want it to be legalized, but you normally approve what you want to legalize.

    But to be clear, I approve of sex workers because to me, it is a job like any other. But since we built society on puritan values, they get a bad reputation and a terrible work situation.

  • Absolutely because then we can start talking about protecting and helping the sex workers that need help, and give them a chance to work in a safe environment.

    Sex worker have been a thing since at least when we invented writings and still going strong today.

    Might be time to give sex workers the dignity and respect they deserve.

  • NVIDIA didn't ask to shut it down, but AMD lawyer probably weren't that hot to what the project had become and AMD asked the creator to shut down the project l, which he did.

    But yeah, lots of work wasted caused by pencil pushers and bean counters.

  • I am thinking of going Debian as well since I like Ubuntu on my work laptop.

    I would like to use the same OS for both PC since I am not a power user yet, but I am tempted by endeavourOS to dip my toes into arch linux.

    I don't want to have too big of a productivity loss at work (don't care at home), so I am thinking to switch to Debian for work, and EndeavourOS on my personal PC to gain experience with it. If I like endeavourOS a lot, then I can switch my work laptop to it as well.

    Isn't it how most Linux users progress?

  • When hardware meet firmware, especially as complex as a GPU, there will always be unpredictable bugs.

    Mix that with every company that uses your driver differently, and computer hardware variation, you can't cover all edge cases.

  • I use Ubuntu for work and it serves its purpose really well.

    It was the first time I really ditched windows and learnt how to use Linux.I have Kubuntu on my personal PC and it feels klunky to me.

    So I am not sure why is that, since it uses the same base.

    My only issue right now is that I need to split the apps I use between dpkg, apt or snaps and it sucks when I need to uninstall something.

    So once my project is done at work, I will try another distro.

  • Inbetween. Each state has a number of voters for the electoral college, but it is not proportional to the population of the state. A less populous state vote is worth more than a populous state generally.

    That is why Trump became president while losing the popular vote in 2016, and swing states are so important.
