2023.06.07 22:02 HowToCook40Humans Your child is not entitled to food from a party just because it's in a public venue

This woman takes her kid to a park and there's a birthday party going on. The little girl supposedly plays with the kids and then goes over to the party where they sing happy birthday. The girl goes to get cake and the mom watches all this happen. She supposedly starts walking over to see if it's okay "as a formality" but she figured it was fine. That's when she hear the mom say that the little girl cannot have cake because "it's not your party and these aren't your friends". The mom stops the video there so we don't know if she actually ever talked to the mom about this comment.
Of course Twitter is in an uproar, saying that so many people hate kids, that if you're having a party in a public place, then of course kids are going to join and that it doesn't hurt to give kids food and you don't take it away from them and that this is why we don't have "community".
Others were saying that it's insane that the mother is fine with her child going up to a party she doesn't know and getting food without introducing herself.
I think both parents were wrong but the general entitlement is insane. It's very possible people only make enough food and buy a cake big enough for only the guest. We don't care if you think it's extra. Next, some people don't like random kids coming up and just joining their party with or without parent approval. It is not your kids' or your kids' friend's party so assuming people will just give your child a piece of cake/food/goody bag just because they're a kid is moronic.
Finally, this woman has 10 million followers on tiktok. I'm more inclined to believe this story likely didn't happen as she told it. Someone suggested that if the story is right, it's possible the kid was just following the kids around and not playing with them or that the kids in the party didn't like her and told the other mom as much. People are making all these assumptions at people who don't think kids should just go up to any party that my eyes nearly rolled out my head.

Making Your Next Career Move: Avoiding the Trap of False Actualization
“The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.” – Carl Jung
The American culture around work and education emphasizes performance over purpose. Instead of encouraging children to welcome their idiosyncrasies and to deeply embrace the things they find innate joy and talent in, we enforce conformity.
Standardized tests, standardized courses, and standardized degrees produce standardized kids who go on to become standardized adults.
Over the course of two decades, a spirited child full of creativity and wonder is gone, replaced by a drone that’s proficient in Excel macros. It’s great for a vibrant economy, yet it comes at the expense of individual expression.
Nonetheless, our childlike spirit remains in us, trapped under layers of societal conditioning that have drawn us so far away from ourselves that we’ve lost touch with our inborn interests and who we once were.
Yet, it pings at us from time to time throughout our young adult lives, and into the depths of our careers. It’s a dull yet persistent sense that something is not quite right.
This is a common outcome for many of our culture’s brightest minds. So many of us struggle to find a greater sense of meaning, fulfillment, or validation in our work. Although it feels like we need to attain more to be satisfied, that’s a conflation of the feeling. The ping from our soul that something isn’t right is the dormant child inside of us asking to be let loose.
So, how do you avoid the trap of successful-yet-not-fulfilled? How do you design a life that activates the needs and desires you had as a child? How can you think through this intentionally before it’s too late?
Using my own career as an example, I’ll walk through a popular model of human needs and describe how to apply it to making more meaningful career decisions. You’ll see how easy it is to fall into the trap of what I call False Actualization.
By the end, you’ll have hopefully gut-checked yourself before making the next move down a potentially incorrect career path.
And, I hope, find your way back to doing something that speaks to your innermost needs.

Maslow and his Hierarchy of Needs

American psychologist Abraham Maslow is responsible for one of the earliest and most contemplated models for understanding human needs: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It spurred the creation of many other models for meaning since it was first introduced.
There’s something about it that hits home, not only with the clinicians in the world of positive psychology but for the average person seeking a framework to understand their feelings of meaninglessness.
As such, I’m going to use this model as the centerpiece for demonstrating the prior missteps I made with my own career.
First, let’s do a quick refresh of the model. Maslow’s theory attempts to categorize a broad set of human needs and their relative hierarchy to one another and has commonly been visualized as a stacked pyramid (even though Maslow didn’t create such a visualization himself).

  • Physiological. We first need to fulfill our basic physiological needs that account for our species-level survival, such as food, sleep, and sex.
  • Safety. Secondly, we must also feel safe and have conditions that ensure our ongoing safety. This is especially true for children.
  • Love. If both the physiological and safety needs are well met, then love, affection, and belonging needs will emerge.
  • Esteem. People need a stable, firmly-held, high evaluation of themselves and others. First, we desire strength, achievement, adequacy, independence, and freedom. Then, we desire reputation, prestige, recognition, attention, importance, or appreciation.
  • Self-Actualization. Even if all the aforementioned needs are met, some individuals may develop discontent or restlessness about their lives. These individuals need to actualize their unique potential and capabilities.
An essential aspect of Maslow’s theory is that each type of need can occupy a different position in the human psyche at any time. For example, all other needs fade into the background when basic physiological needs are not met, such as a person dying of dehydration or starvation.
On the other hand, when all physiological needs are consistently fulfilled, the need for Love or Esteem can take center stage as physiological needs drift into the background of consciousness.

I like to think of the sequence of needs falling into two broad categories: Survive and Thrive. The bottom of the pyramid houses the essentials for an organism to survive. Above those are the needs that lead to a subjective sense of thriving and fulfillment beyond basic survival.
The purpose of this post is to examine the tradeoffs that we make within the zone of thriving as we push deeper into our careers.

Applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to Your Career

We can think of our careers relative to Maslow’s hierarchy. As an example, when we begin our careers, many of us are focused on fulfilling our basic Physiological and Safety needs.
When I was 21, I got my first full-time job. It didn’t pay much. I earned $18,000 per year and had $30,000 in student debt. Consequently, survival was a primary need at the forefront of my psyche. I needed to have enough money for rent, food to eat, and enough left over after those needs to slowly chip away at my student loans.
The debt overhang felt like a threat to my safety as an organism so getting my net worth out of negative territory was a fundamental safety need for me. Consequently, that became the primary thrust of my career in its early days.


After 5 years of working hard and squirreling away money, I managed to pay off my debt and establish some career momentum. That translated into a sense of security, which made room for a new set of needs to take center stage in my psyche during the next leg of my career push.
But as my career grew, so too did the demands of the job. In turn, this changed which needs were met, and which were neglected.
I call this the demand dimension.
While some jobs allow the separation of your work and life into two separate realms, others require a near-complete integration of the two, like being the CEO or an early employee of a growing startup. These are demanding positions that typically make it difficult for your life not to be dominated by work.
When I was VP and President at Wealthfront, my Safety and Physiological needs were more than compensated for, and my Esteem needs were met due to the prestige that accompanied the position.
However, my Love and Self-Actualization needs were majorly neglected due to soaring career demands.

After several years of putting Esteem needs above other needs, I was paying the price spiritually and emotionally.
This may look familiar to you: it’s typical for high-achievers entering mid-career. Disproportionately high work demands will come at the expense of your other needs.
As Maslow stated, each need may occupy a different position in your psyche at any point in time. It’s essential to understand this attribute instead of thinking that each need on the ladder of needs is a box to be checked. And, once checked, it is perpetually satisfied.
That is not the case. Rather, the needs in the hierarchy tend to trade off with one another, especially when one need is heavily emphasized versus the others.
Perhaps this is at the heart of why active duty military members have the highest divorce rate of any profession in the country, with a divorce rate twice the national average. Members of the military relinquish many of the freedoms that civilians have and face stressful or traumatizing situations regularly.
These situations place significant stress on their relationships. Love, Esteem, and Self-Actualization needs can fall by the wayside in exchange for serving the country.
For many high-achievers, the need for respect, admiration, and achievement can swoop in and occupy the psyche once physiological and safety needs are met. However, it’s important to anticipate the unintended consequences of a rapid and primary focus on meeting Esteem needs.
I have a very close friend that works in tech who once said, “I have zero desire to become an executive. It looks awful. I’d like to make it to Director level, at most, and stay there for as long as possible.”
I deeply respected this, because it highlighted an approach to a more balanced life. He already felt respected and appreciated at work, and would rather have more space to fulfill his love needs with friends, family, hobbies, and more.
His pyramid probably looks something more like this:

His career demands are still high, but he stops himself short of demands that consume other aspects of his life. As a result, he’s one of the most emotionally stable and fulfilled friends I know in the technology industry.
You, too, can have the same. Unfortunately, within the ultra-competitive tech world, high-achievers are often enticed to keep climbing up and up, only to then fall into disrepair once they realize how many of their other needs beyond Esteem may be neglected.

The Trap of False Actualization

“You'll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you're doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you'll hear about them.” – Bill Waterson, Cartoonist and Creator of Calvin and Hobbes
If you’ve been conditioned over decades to follow linear paths of success, you may be prone to going down a path of achievement that is not your own.
Self-Actualization is not the same as achievement. Achievement is typically defined by external measures and expectations from others.
Self-actualization, on the other hand, is not measured according to the opinions of others. It is becoming your authentic self and realizing the full spectrum of your unique interests and capabilities. The end result of self-actualization may be external success, but that’s an unintended consequence, not the objective.
A child may have natural math ability but not actually enjoy math. Still, their teacher or parents may push them to accelerate further in math simply because they are good at it, or because it’s “necessary for success.”
However, that child may be better off in the long run by pursuing literature and writing if those align with the child’s own subjective view of fulfillment and meaning.
I fell quite easily into the trap of False Actualization, which is defined as the path to success based on others’ expectations of you, but not what you genuinely want for yourself.
I was a straight-A student, went to a great college, built a great career, and made great money.
And then I was miserable. That wasn’t the outcome I expected.
Eventually, I understood why. I had succeeded over and over again at doing things others expected of me, a pattern that had been internalized from a very early age. Truthfully, I didn’t enjoy a lot of the work I did. Still, I suppressed the unhappiness and continued onward.
In colloquial terms, False Actualization means that you’ve climbed to the top of someone else’s ladder.
This happens when smart people in Silicon Valley are hellbent on starting a company because that’s the most prestigious thing one can do. It happens when ladder-climbers are determined to become high-ranking high-paid executives without asking “is this what I truly want?
It’s the continuation of the process of standardizing humans that began early in our lives.
I know about this because I have been one of those ladder climbers. At Wealthfront, I was promoted three times in three years. Had I not had a heart attack scare, I would have been on track to be promoted again to CEO — the fourth time in four years.
This is a high-achiever on auto-pilot. I was on auto-pilot headed toward false actualization. I said yes to each new role because I didn’t want to disappoint others, and the esteem was compelling.
By the end of that long journey, my hierarchy looked like this:

I was held in high regard and proud of myself for what I had accomplished, yet I was emotionally, spiritually, and physically bankrupt.
Because I went through all of this, I discovered that there is a better way of doing things.

Avoid the Path of False Actualization: Find Your Model for Meaning

During a recent trip to Northern Thailand, I met a farmer that was a practicing Buddhist. During our conversation, he said something simple but critically important for anyone searching for meaning.
“Everyone wants to get to Bangkok. The problem is that people try to follow other people’s roads to Bangkok. You must find your own road to Bangkok.”
His catchy metaphor is the antidote to False Actualization. You must spend time carving your own path that provides you with your own internal sense of meaning and fulfillment.
Self-Actualization is the output of finding your own way to Bangkok.
For one person, meaning may come through manual labor that pays the bills enough that their family is well-fed and secure. For another person, meaning may come from ditching the rat race to set out on their own path in life separate from the masses, which is my chosen path. Others derive a great sense of meaning by being part of a once-in-a-generation company doing inspiring work, happy to play a small part in a purpose they wouldn’t be able to fulfill on their own.
The question remains: how do I find my authentic purpose so that I avoid False Actualization?
I’ll share my personal process, which I pulled together from various pieces of spiritual wisdom. It involves the following:
  1. Use Spiritual Autolysis to Examine (and Discard) False Beliefs
  2. Protect the Mind to Avoid Toxic New Beliefs from Entering
  3. Develop a Practice That Provides the Heartbeat for Your Life

Examine (and Discard) False Beliefs

Jed McKenna, the pseudonymous author behind the Spiritual Enlightenment Trilogy, coined the term Spiritual Autolysis. Autolysis in biology means to “digest itself”, so it refers in this context to relentlessly assessing all of your existing beliefs to understand what is true.
Ultimately, this is a process to break down and discard old beliefs that are no longer serving you. As Jed McKenna put it:
"Here's all you need to know to become enlightened: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know. That's it. That's the whole deal - a complete teaching of enlightenment, a complete practice. If you ever have any questions or problems - no matter what the question or problem is - the answer is always exactly the same: Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know."
Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements also provides a repeatable method for Spiritual Autolysis. I’ve taken the approach laid out in his book and adapted it to this particular challenge:
  • Understand your beliefs and where they came from
  • Practice eliminating those beliefs
  • Practice adopting new beliefs
  • Try your best every day
To kickstart the autolysis of your beliefs regarding work and building a career, start with the following questions. Pick one, sit down, shut up, and whittle it down until you find what is true.
  • What is the purpose of a career?
  • What does “success” mean in a career?
  • How much does money matter to me and what would I use a lot of money for?
  • Should I work until I die, or should I not?
  • What do I think of the concept of work-life balance?
  • What did my teachers often tell me about careers?
  • What messages did my parents give me about a career?
  • What do careers look like in different parts of the world?
  • What have careers looked like at different points in human history?
  • What role does a career play in my overall life fulfillment?
  • How have my friends influenced my career decisions?
  • How have my bosses influenced my career decisions?
When I went through this process, I underestimated the depths of the delusion I was living.
The financial insecurity I felt as an adult had its origin in the financial insecurity I felt as a child in a low-income family that went through bankruptcy. This realization helped me shed false beliefs still present in my adulthood that I needed to make more money in order to be safe and secure.
Examining, and then discarding, this belief set me free from sacrificing my physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being in pursuit of yet another unnecessary paycheck.
I also realized the insanity that is the American ideal around retirement. It was no longer true to me that the American way was the only way to work.
Japanese wisdom has a different approach known as Ikigai, which roughly translates to “a reason for being.” Retirement has no place within this ancient system for living a fulfilling life. Carriers of Japanese heritage understood that our lives are cut short when we have no reason for being.
Instead of destroying ourselves with overwork until the age of 65 so that we can fall purposelessly into the grave, we can instead find work that satisfies our soul and feels delighted to do so until we take our Big Sleep.
These are just a few of the false truths I was able to deprogram myself away from via Spiritual Autolysis.

Protect the Mind to Avoid Toxic Beliefs From Entering

The second step in my method is about preventing fast food information from entering your mind – which is most of the highly processed information you receive each day. Your mind is already full of many harmful beliefs because you were brought up in a world that indoctrinated you with information before you had awareness and a choice.
Whereas Spiritual Autolysis helps break those beliefs down and get rid of them, this next step is about preventing more bad ideas from taking root in your mind.
The first step I recommend is getting rid of all junk sources of information. Or, if you can’t get rid of them entirely, use whatever tools are available to filter out most of the noise.
For me, that meant all non-work social media and cable TV news had to go. Unless I can hear directly from the source, I ignore the information. Once you’ve limited the firehose of junk food information, continue to listen critically to everything that you hear.
There’s a reason I only follow just a few accounts on Twitter. One is an account that posts pictures of dogs, the other is a non-profit that I’m on the board of that helps military veterans, and another is Mike Tyson, who has undergone one of the most beautiful spiritual and emotional transformations in recent history.
I try to ignore everything else because, at best, it’s second-hand information. The vast majority of public information has been rinsed, washed, and processed as much as the American diet. To understand what is true for you, you need to create enough space to listen and observe for yourself. Most of what we consume is the noise that prevents us from accessing that signal.

Develop a Practice That Provides the Heartbeat for Your Life

The life you envision for yourself doesn’t happen because you think hard enough about it. The life you desire unfolds as the result of daily practice.
As the psychotherapist Eric Fromm once said, “The first step to take is to become aware that love is an art, just as living is an art... we must proceed in the same way we have to proceed if we want to learn any other art, say music, painting, carpentry, or the art of medicine or engineering."
I implemented two types of practices in my life. I call them Type 1 and Type 2 Changes.
Type 1 Changes refer to the primary pillars of your life: where you live, the type of work you do, your friendships, romantic relationships, family relationships, diet and exercise, sleep, and any other major affiliations such as a religious practice. These are big rocks where new practices may need to be established.
Type 2 Changes are the small rocks. These are the incidentals that fill out a daily routine, such as the use of a meditation app for a brief morning meditation, fitness trackers to count daily steps, etc.
Most people who are hungry for a change in their life tend to dabble in Type 2 Changes while avoiding Type 1 Changes. This is another big trap.
Type 1 Changes have made the largest and most sustained impact on my sense of peace and fulfillment.
I moved away from a stressful city. I quit a stressful and unfulfilling career. I dropped old friends that were not supportive of my new life direction. I picked up participation in a 12-steps program so that I could be around others that were working hard to transform themselves. And now I’ve shifted my career focus to helping others after stockpiling enough savings from my prior work.
I also use Type 2 tools. I have a habit tracker app that helps me stick to a daily routine to log exercise, sugar, and processed food consumption, morning meditations, nighttime journaling, and pleasure reading.
Both types of change are part of my practice. Some are small, daily patterns. Others are monolithic shifts. The magic is found in the combination of both and you must be willing to combine both types of changes if you want a substantial and lasting shift in your overall sense of well-being.

Make Your Next Move

If you already feel in alignment and fulfilled by your current life, keep it up!
But if you’re nodding along while reading, or feeling the ping that something’s not quite right, it may be time for you to listen inward.
Take the sabbatical you’ve been putting off over and over again. Carve out time in your schedule to do the creative project that you’ve put on the back burner. Stop seeking career advice from others. Talk to people that live very different lives than you do. Travel to parts of the world where making a lot of money and having high-profile careers aren’t part of the cultural lexicon. Don’t stop until you discover your own road to Bangkok.
Charles Bukowski captured the spirit of this best when he said, “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

I recently went to the Redding, CA concert and was blown away. This was my first time seeing them live. Of course I bought a shirt to commemorate the experience, but it ended up too small. I am looking for someone to purchase the next size up for me, if possible. I bought the black acid wash "LH" shirt ($40 I think?) in medium, and I think a large would fit better. Willing to trade with anyone also if they have a large and want to size down.
I'll pay for the shirt and USPS shipping to California, and a little extra for the time. Shot in the dark, thanks for reading!

Anyone notice their brunch date where (from the video) seemed like they shared a plate. As someone with a former ED, I see so many habits i had in a lot of her videos. I was also a functioning alcoholic and would limit my food intake so id have more wiggle room for alcohol calories.
Scott is a grown man who i cant imagine is going to want to share plates and get full off protein bars for much longer.

2023.06.07 22:00 snailsshouldvote I’m personally offering a bid of $0.00 for the serialized copy of The One Ring.

But me and my friend will walk up and throw it in a volcano.
Pros: We are pretty small and will escape notice if anyone else wants it.
My moral fiber is pretty good, but my friends is even better. If I try and keep it, he’s gonna keep me in check.
We are pretty good cooks so as long as we have food, our moral will stay high.
We basically have nothing better to do.
Cons:
We are pretty small so there’s some things that are hard for us.
I’m fully anticipating Post Malone to follow us around, but I’ve got a good feeling about his company.
If Cassius Marsh captures us and takes us to his waterfall hideout, I think we can talk him in to letting us go.

2023.06.07 21:59 crunchatizemythighs Intermittent fasting helped repair my hunger cues and binge eating

I've had a very complicated relationship with food my whole life. Especially when dealing with anxiety and depression, smoking lots of weed, etc., I basically didn't know how to stop eating or resisting my urges. It was like I knew what I was doing was bad but I couldn't stop and then I'd go back to feeling like a piece of shit. I was constantly peckish, always looking forward to my next meal or snack, whatever. I knew at the rate I was going, I would eventually be 300 pounds or dead. Luckily it never got that bad but it still got out of control and I ended up hitting 240.
It's hard having an addiction to something everyone needs because most addictions you can just quit. You can't quit food. But thanks to counting calories and intermittent fasting, I've been able to repair my hunger cues, feel full much faster and understand when I truly need to eat versus when I'm just fiending. Just 2 months of this and I've started leaving food for leftovers, turning down treats, and knowing when to stop- something I've struggled with my ENTIRE life.
Intermittent fasting:
Typically I'll eat all my food between 11 AM to 7 PM. Although I'm not too strict with it. Like generally I'll take my last bite around 5 PM. From there, I know I basically just have to wind down and make it to bed and I'll be good. It's been surprisingly easy most days.
SPARKLING WATER has been HUGE in helping me satisfying a craving without consuming calories. I think it's a great tool. I also am a fiend for diet soda and that has helped a lot in my weight loss too, although I understand it's a bit of a polarizing topic.
Most days I skip breakfast for lunch or vice versa. Never been much of a breakfast person, but if I do, I make sure it's just an egg and cheese bagel which clocks in usually only around 410 calories. Still gives me about 1200-1400 calories to work with the rest of the day.
I find dinner is something I just can't skip. It's so important for me to get some calories in the afternoon so that I can make it to bed without feeling cranky. I've noticed though that my portions make me full much faster now. I legit couldn't even eat what I did 2 months ago if I tried, I would probably get sick.
For context, I would easily eat 3000-4000 calories a day no problem without ANY exercise and still be kind of hungry. Now on the off chance I eat 2500 calories in a day, I feel like I'm going to burst. I have NEVER been that guy and it's nice to see.
Counting calories
While fasting is important, counting calories was also instrumental in me being mindful about my eating. Following my hunger cues simply isn't enough as it's important to know what I'm putting in my body before I eat.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend just ripping the bandaid and buying a FOOD SCALE. You hear me? BUY A FOOD SCALE. I have no clue why I put it off for so long. I thought people who used it were being too anal but as someone who cooks a lot of chicken and meats, going off the packaging simply isn't accurate enough. BE THAT PERSON that measures shit. I try to buy foods where the serving size can be gauged easily, but it's not always possible. Food scale was a pretty cheap purchase that helped a lot.
Also buy one of those measuring sets. You can find them for 2-3 bucks at Walmart where it comes with a tablespoon measure and different cup measures. Very helpful for things like mayonnaise or olive oil where the wrong measurement can easily mean an extra 100 calories.
SANDWICHES are a huge part of my diet because there are so many ways to vary it up, counting the calories are very very easy as opposed to something like rices or pastas, and using a panini press has taken it to the next level lol.
All in all, three kitchen appliances have helped a ton and that's been my measuring cups, my food scale and my panini press. Total that's cost me like 30 bucks and it's changed my diet and health completely.

Typically I'll eat all my food between 11 AM to 7 PM. Although I'm not too strict with it. Like generally I'll take my last bite around 5 PM. From there, I know I basically just have to wind down and make it to bed and I'll be good. It's been surprisingly easy most days.
SPARKLING WATER has been HUGE in helping me satisfying a craving without consuming calories. I think it's a great tool. I also am a fiend for diet soda and that has helped a lot in my weight loss too, although I understand it's a bit of a polarizing topic.
Most days I skip breakfast for lunch or vice versa. Never been much of a breakfast person, but if I do, I make sure it's just an egg and cheese bagel which clocks in usually only around 410 calories. Still gives me about 1200-1400 calories to work with the rest of the day.
I find dinner is something I just can't skip. It's so important for me to get some calories in the afternoon so that I can make it to bed without feeling cranky. I've noticed though that my portions make me full much faster now. I legit couldn't even eat what I did 2 months ago if I tried, I would probably get sick.
For context, I would easily eat 3000-4000 calories a day no problem without ANY exercise and still be kind of hungry. Now on the off chance I eat 2500 calories in a day, I feel like I'm going to burst. I have NEVER been that guy and it's nice to see.
Counting calories
While fasting is important, counting calories was also instrumental in me being mindful about my eating. Following my hunger cues simply isn't enough as it's important to know what I'm putting in my body before I eat.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend just ripping the bandaid and buying a FOOD SCALE. You hear me? BUY A FOOD SCALE. I have no clue why I put it off for so long. I thought people who used it were being too anal but as someone who cooks a lot of chicken and meats, going off the packaging simply isn't accurate enough. BE THAT PERSON that measures shit. I try to buy foods where the serving size can be gauged easily, but it's not always possible. Food scale was a pretty cheap purchase that helped a lot.
Also buy one of those measuring sets. You can find them for 2-3 bucks at Walmart where it comes with a tablespoon measure and different cup measures. Very helpful for things like mayonnaise or olive oil where the wrong measurement can easily mean an extra 100 calories.
SANDWICHES are a huge part of my diet because there are so many ways to vary it up, counting the calories are very very easy as opposed to something like rices or pastas, and using a panini press has taken it to the next level lol.
All in all, three kitchen appliances have helped a ton and that's been my measuring cups, my food scale and my panini press. Total that's cost me like 30 bucks and it's changed my diet and health completely.

2023.06.07 21:59 adamc112 One week in, why not forever?

Strange to be one week without a drink. Problem started in 2021 uk lockdown, drinking heavily at weekends and one or two during the weekdays to ‘help me sleep’.
Don’t think I’m addicted - I’m definitely addicted to fast food and that’s a battle I’m having to fight every minute of every day so far. Drinking is just something I enjoy but has gone too far, too expensive needing more and more for the buzz.
Mostly social online gaming drinking really with friends online so hasn’t been me sat in a dark room getting minced or anything.
One week in on the health kick, can’t even describe how much better I feel already!!

2023.06.07 21:59 teiraaaaaaa [CA Osasuna] Official statement in relation to a disciplinary investigation opened by UEFA

Club Atlético Osasuna has learned this afternoon of the opening of a disciplinary investigation by UEFA in relation to its admission to the Conference League 2023/24. According to the club, this investigation is motivated by the ruling of the Supreme Court in relation to the events that took place a decade ago, in the 2013/14 season, which paradoxically exempted the club from criminal liability in the aforementioned events: "Well, having said the above, and carrying out an interpretation in accordance with the principle of culpability of article 31 bis of the Criminal Code, in the wording in force at the time when, indiciously, the offences of sporting corruption were committed for which Club Atlético Osasuna could, where appropriate, be held criminally liable, this court considers that the aforementioned entity could in no case have criminal liability for the aforementioned offences, not only because the aforementioned requirement of an act imputable by way of malice or negligence is not met, but also because another of the elements necessary for the existence of criminal liability, which is that the offence has been committed 'for the benefit' of the entity, has not been appreciated either".
In any case, Club Atlético Osasuna will make itself available to UEFA to provide it with as much information as it deems appropriate about a process in which the club, far from being condemned, has been a private prosecutor and has pursued through the courts those responsible for the aforementioned events, which seriously damaged the club's reputation. It will also inform the highest European football body that the persons convicted by the Supreme Court in 2023 ceased their functions in 2014 and were removed as members of the club in 2015. Osasuna appeared as a private prosecutor, i.e. as an injured party, in the judicial process that concluded with the conviction of these individuals and with a sentence that has obliged them to pay the club a substantial financial compensation that has led to the seizure of their property and assets by the club.
Club Atlético Osasuna is confident that the proceedings will be resolved in a way that is favourable to its interests and that both its athletes and fans will be able to enjoy the Conference League in fairness with the sporting merits achieved.

2023.06.07 21:58 Chee-shep How to I decline another student's offer to see a movie with her?

I (22f) was a longtime student (and technically still am, just interning a couple days a week) at a small non-profit that takes those age 14-26 and helps them develop their skills, usually music or graphics. The two mentors there also teach extracurricular classes at a local middle school. We have a mini-computer lab there with Blender, Ableton and other software used for these purposes. Sometimes youth come into to work on projects, others come to hang out. I loved the space because they were very understanding of my high functioning autism, and the other disabilities that other kids might have.
A week ago a student who I will call Y (17f) reached out and asked if I could stop by her lemonade stand last weekend, which I did. I bought a glass and chatted with her for a while since I hadn't spoken to her since school got out. I can't say anything for certain, but I feel that Y might also be on a spectrum based on the way she speaks and other mentions of accommodations. She recently reached out to me again asking if I would like to go see a movie with her on the 17th. She said I'd have to get my own ticket and food (which makes sense, however I'm currently out of a job until my contract is re-newed).
I don't enjoy going to the theater because of my anxiety, so I told her I would have to see if I was avaible at that time. But I'll admit, I don't want to go and was stalling to find a way to tell her 'no.' I feel bad, but I'm not interested in going.
Is there a good way to decline the offer?

2023.06.07 21:58 Loose_Ad5327 Tuition owing?

Wondering if anyone has been in a situation that I find myself in too rn.
I currently have some balance owing on my tuition and I’m unable to pay it since I’m basically just self funded and don’t have any support other than just student aid. And summer working.
I can’t register for next term until I have this paid off and because living expenses etc most of my student aid was not enough to be able to afford rent food and tuition.
I could pay the balance probably by end of august because I’m working but that puts me in a tough spot for registering since by then mostly everything would be taken.
Just wondering if anyone has been in this spot and what they have done before? I’ve reached out already to uvic but wanted to hear some others personal insight.

2023.06.07 21:57 worst-un-ever What the heck are these giant, itchy bug bites from?!

I’m a 32 year old female. 5’2”, 114lbs. I’m epileptic and on Keppra, also on Cholestryamine for bile reflux. Im also an RNY gastric bypass patient. I live in Southern CA. I’ve gotten 4 of these (1 on each calf and 1 on my face of all places) over the past few weeks. Is this a bug bite? They are SO itchy, raised and hot to the touch. They start out very small and look similar to mosquito bites, but then turn into these the next day. When they start to heal they get darker looking, and it lasts for at least a couple of weeks. I’ve been taking Claritin during the day and Benadryl at night, but neither really help. Also putting cortisone on them directly, and icing them when they get too itchy to handle. I do have pets, but they don’t have fleas. Any clue what these are and/or how I can prevent it from happening?! (Link to pics in comments)

2023.06.07 21:56 abcwaiter CA DMV conversion of driver's license to senior ID for senior with mobility issues

Hello CA DMV experts,
My father has an driver's license that expired during Covid. We were not able to renew online despite the governor allowing online renewals for seniors at the time.
Right now we are only interested in converting to a senior ID. However my dad has medical issues where the mobility is mostly gone.
What exceptions can be made in cases like this? I would think that there are many cases where it's very inconvenient for seniors to get to a DMV location in person.
Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give.
Reaching the DMV by phone results in being disconnected, and I can't find anything on the website that would pertain to this topic.

2023.06.07 21:56 betta_noob_temp I think my betta might have HITH. Thoughts on dosing API General Cure in frozen food?

I noticed my betta gradually starting to show some red blotches on the sides of her head over the past month, but I couldn't tell if it was an issue since she was also gaining more natural red color throughout her body (and the reds look nearly identical). Now in the spots where she had the red on the side of her head, she's developing white bumps that look similar to larger hives on a human. They look too big to be ich. I also haven't caught her scratching at all. The suspicious reddening has also now spread to the top of her head (although it's hard to see with the shit lighting in my pictures).
I have Microbe Lift Herbtana and API General Cure on hand. I'm planning on starting with API since it has metronidazole. I've heard some people will briefly soak frozen food in it to increase efficacy. Is this a good idea or do I run the risk of OD'ing my tiny friend? Other advice is also appreciated. Thanks!

2023.06.07 21:56 CTR66 GiveWP: Modifing the donation receipt valu once the donation is done

Hello everyone!
We are organizing a fundraising event for a non-profit organization. We are creating a sports event by reserving a private box to invite people. I already know the possible number of guests and the price of the box, but I don't yet know the price of the food we will be serving. To issue my donation receipts (in Quebec at least), I need to deduct from the ticket price, the price of the box and the food according to the possible number of people. I would like to start selling my tickets online with Give on my Wordpress site. Can I issue tax receipts later with a different amount than what the buyer entered? If yes, how? Or can I issue a $0 tax receipt and modify it later? Has anyone faced a similar issue?
Does anyone have recommendations on how to best manage this. Thank you for your assistance!
