Can I ask where you came across such a thing? The only ones I've ever seen are from drop.com

I adore the wheel of time. First fantasy series I ever chewed through (and then waited about 5 or 10 years for publishing lol). Very happy for you, kudos!

Ironically, I'm Canadian and am more likely to die in the humid heat than the brutal cold 😂 granted, wet cold like you'll find in Chicago and Toronto are special kinds of hell, no thank you

The conspiracy theorists were right! There is a real deep real (e)state!

This progressed downhill so quickly I gave it an uptoot

Honestly one of the best games I've played recently is the Stanley Parable and that game is a couple of hours of poking around a quirky but literal office. Would happily buy that 60 times over one massively mediocre rpg.

I have been known for the occasional psychotic break 🤔

There's no place like home?

What's neutral+neutral evil+chaotic good?

So they got better at doing what they set out for!?

Titanic: A Success Story

I'm gonna echo this poster's comment. Though I don't agree with some of what you said (and do recognize that you were just needing a bit of validation/vent), overall, I love SJW and the work you do. We know it's a thankless task, but just know that you provided a solid landing ground for the Reddit exodus and ppl are thankful for what you do 😊

I appreciated your comment, but chuckled at the idea of Canadians as a peaceful species. We have our fair share of ruthlessness, from indigenous mistreatment 🤫 to shutting down our capital during the pandemic to our behaviour during WWI being a cause for some of the Geneva conventions 😅 we're generally a peace loving group, but we don't eff around if pushed haha

For the record I feel the need to point out I do NOT endorse our country's indigenous mistreatment, it is in fact one of the saddest parts of being Canadian.

Edit - phrasing

And letting us down - not an option!

To be fair, I didn't propose this approach as an absolute solution to the obesity pandemic. I said I agree with this method. There are obviously contributing factors that I've listed elsewhere, but I stand by that. It can easily be part of a broader strategy.

If you wanted to solve the obesity pandemic, 100% resolved, absolutely you need systemic change and individualized services. And yes lol it would be a wildly expensive endeavour.

Edit: phrasing

I think they'd set you up pretty nice - nice digs and lots of play money. Not 80 mil, but enough to not work and have some real fun. Taking out the leader of a sworn enemy is doing them a solid. Fully agreed you'd be their pet for life though

Haha I know!

I've had some great conversations because of this and that there are many cultural/societal elements that I both do and don't agree with. I've learned that others don't share my opinion and I'm okay with that 😊 I hope you have a great 2025!

Sorry to come back around, I agree with this. One thing I didn't say in our earlier conversation was that this is presented as Korean, which may have a different cultural interpretation for Korean readers (and us) - I don't know.

If it helps contextualize my opinion from earlier, I'm Canadian and may have a similar cultural understanding to TrickDacy (though I won't drag them into my opinion either lol).

Either way, enjoyed reading your (plural) conversation!

That's super interesting. For me, healthier stuff is expensive but affordable, so buying in balance is easier. It goes bad, sure, but ppl seem gravitate to the fresh stuff? So it sells.

In my experience, long preserved foods are typically seen as like, in case "I need a meal on a Wednesday." Just a very stark difference in experience/culture that is absolutely intriguing to me, I don't know if I have anything valuable to add haha.

I'm Canadian so I know what you mean about moving things across the country (much of our winter veggies are Californian or Mexican).

Big family or no, that's awesome - it's expensive enough raising a family, so just a wholehearted good on ya! Food is hugely personal (for obvious reasons), and we're exactly the type of idiots caught up in the chaos of making life work. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a happy, healthy year 😊

You make a great point - the built environment is absolutely a contributor!

I would add attitude too. I know ppl who will not do a 40 minute walk, even if it's a viable option. "Why not Uber, that's sooo faaar" is still a choice haha

That's fair, I can see why. My surroundings have a higher rate of knowingly sedentary behavior/wild overcomsumption, which affects my bias. I like your analogy.

I still think personal autonomy has an impact. I'm a food nerd and in my experience the average person does a terrible job of assessing energy in (ooh donut) versus energy out (one calorie is harder to burn than ppl like to admit). Hell, it took me 15 years to figure out.

So maybe not a conscious choice of a sedentary life, as much as the lack of understanding or awareness of how that unintentional choice affects them (plus all the factors we've discussed).

But this is just my two cents, I'm no pro lol thanks for digging into this with me 🙂
