  • Don’t you think it is a bit harsh to accuse people who doesn’t like musicals of being sociopaths?

    That’s a wild misinterpretation of what I said.

    There are plenty of reasons not to like musicals. The songs ruin immersion for some people, the format is cheesy, the acting is over the top, the plots are almost always formulaic. The description of them as “an empathy-based drug” doesn’t mean someone who doesn’t like them doesn’t experience empathy. It’s such a leap from what I said that I feel like you’d have to actively try to misunderstand me to get that.











  • As I said to my parents when they said something similar:

    Not everyone is a 0 or 6 on the Kinsey scale. Plenty of people have some amount of choice. But not everyone is a 3, either. Most people have a preference. And some people are a 0 or 6. Just because one person with “gay temptations” successfully lived as a heterosexual doesn’t mean everyone can. The world is more complicated than that.








  • Intermittent fasting.

    Like any form of weight-loss the real mechanism is a calorie deficit, but intermittent fasting makes that really easy for some people. I lost like 30lbs in six months. Takes a bit to kick in but then goes pretty quickly.

    Unfortunately, losing weight is a long journey. People who are very overweight have more fat cells than others (because those cells divide when they get big enough) and those fat cells WANT to hold onto fat. And they’ll release hormones to achieve that goal. So your body will desperately be calling for you to overeat.

    This is part of why weight-loss tends to be a spiky line for people. I gained back all of the IF weight I lost, and then some. Still below my highest recorded weight by a good 20lbs, but I’m just now getting back on the IF horse, hoping to make better progress this time.


  • Since when is Xbox gone? Microsoft would be silly to kill off their console, they’d lose a pretty significant chunk of Game Pass subscribers. The rumors point to a hybrid PC/console, but it’s still an Xbox.

    Of course, Microsoft making foolish decisions would be nothing new.
