good luck with the diet! if you're only trying to avoid specific foods like snacks or desserts, something that's surprisingly worked for me is to eat more. if i am full after eating my meals, i'm less likely to snack constantly between meals. if i eat more fruit, i'm less likely to crave other desserts. if i plan an afternoon snack of cheese and crackers, i'm less likely to grab potato chips when i'm feeling peckish. keep in mind you still need to eat mindfully to not overeat so this approach might not be for everyone, but framing the process as "what can i add" has made me naturally reduce a lot of things i wanted to cut without feeling restricted.

i got a reusable sticker book exactly for this reason. it's a notebook with pages of release paper so that you can stick and peel off stickers easily. it gives me the satisfaction of "using" my stickers without the permanence of losing them after sticking

i heard a similar idea that if humans can't see air then maybe undersea creatures can't see water. so fish would be like birds and crustaceans would be like land dwellers. so yeah jellyfish being storm clouds checks out

you're right, i think we're in agreement. the side with guns and tanks retaliated against the side with bricks and molotov cocktails by opening fire

I'm less concerned about the specifics of where it happened and how many people died, and more concerned about how military personnel shot live ammunition at citizens.

According to the Tiananmen Papers, a collection of internal Communist party files, soldiers started using live ammunition at around 10.30pm, after trying and failing to disperse the crowd with tear gas and rubber bullets.

my favorite part about these kinds of comments is that the article they commonly cite basically says there was no tiananmen massacre because the massacre happened outside of the square in the rest of beijing, and that's treated like it's some big gotcha

i've been looking at mamavation's reports and jumping directly to the raw data at the bottom. here's the bandages one

there's also one for toilet paper which links to a lot of other items, and i'll throw in a free rick roll because i'm bored

i imagine this problem is negligible because of how easily people can travel. diseases don't stop spreading when they see a political border, and there are plenty of other places in the world that are much more remote and more likely to have diseases americans are not resistant to

oh yes i've noticed that sometimes. it always makes me do a double take, especially if it's something very obvious like $3 per 4 oz and $7 per 8 oz

i check the price per unit weight so at least that's not what i'm getting

i bought one box of curry and some potatoes, carrots, and onions for that. it took me three days to finish one serving and i still have two more prepped servings in the freezer. but at least i don't have to worry about curry cravings for another couple months

i have no problem with chips, those are gone

at least most of the games were free

Description: 8 panel comic.

  1. Patrick saying "I have nothing to do in my spare time."
  2. Spongebob opening a trash can that's full of garbage labeled "unfinished games from 2023 in my steam library"
  3. Spongebob pointing to piled up trash in the corner that is labeled "unfinished games from 2022 in my steam library"
  4. Spongebob gesturing at the open fridge overflowing with garbage labeled "unfinished games from 2021 in my steam library"
  5. Spongebob yanking up a sheet to reveal that a sofa was made of trash labeled "unfinished games from 2020 in my steam library"
  6. Spongebob ripping down the wallpaper revealing that the walls are stuffed full of garbage labeled "unfinished games from 2019 in my steam library"
  7. Spongebob gesturing for Patrick to look at a spot from their window
  8. A gigantic mound of trash taller than the pineapple house is labeled "unfinished games from 2018 and earlier in my steam library"
 

Description: Three panels. The first panel is a picture of a sign on a window with Chinese that tells people to not to throw things out the window. There is a poor English translation on the sign that says "Do not shit in the air like a god." The second panel is D.W. from Arthur glaring at the sign. The third panel is D.W. saying "That sign won't stop me because I can't read!"

 

Description: A three panel comic often referred to as "No take, only throw." The first panel is a dog biting a toy with the caption "I want to be good at my hobbies." The second panel is the dog looking angry and refusing to let go of the toy when a hand reaches out to throw it for the dog again, and it has the caption "No practice." The third panel is the dog, still angry and refusing to let go of the toy, with the caption "Only good."

if i had a nickel for every time i read a series where the most powerful exorcist was killed and he reincarnated in another world where he was looked down upon for his low magical talent, but his exorcism powers made him the strongest anyways, i'd have two nickels, and that's fine with me

second one is alternatively titled "reincarnated as a son of an aristocrat"
