Nearly 1 in 10 Americans report they are severely obese, says study.
  • I won't pretend to know what your journey has been like, but do/did you actually count what you eat or do you just guess/assume? In my experience, everyone not measuring what they eat guesses incorrectly about how much or how little they think they're eating. Measuring everything you eat is the only way to know for sure if you're eating towards weight loss. And only in extreme cases is your weight out of your control. So don't take that power away from yourself.

    Weight loss is all (only) about calories in vs calories out and consistency. If you eat less than you burn and you do it consistently, you lose weight. It's literally just physics. All diets, including keto, are just complicated ways for you to limit how much you eat.

    Just realize that everyone struggles with it, including fit people. So don't give up hope.

    Losing weight is simple. It's just not easy. But you can do it.

  • What is the hardest video game(s) in your opinion, why, and what other games are you comparing against to make this conclusion?
  • Ninja Garden 2 on Master Ninja mode. It's the hardest action game I've ever played. Non-stop Incendiary Shuriken ninjas, rockets, and mini bosses. You literally cannot stop moving, make any mistakes, and have to react in split seconds the entire time or you're dead. It's borderline impossible. Never again.

  • How do you eat kiwifruits?
  • Cut the ends off then scoop out the middle with a spoon. Or cut it in half and eat each half with a spoon like a grapefruit. If they're ripe, both methods are super easy.

    People who eat them whole, skin and all, are fucking weird.

  • Is ice cream becoming too soft?
  • Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

    It's both. Commercial ice cream is either overchurned to add more air, making it lighter and softer, or uses a lot of additives. You have to buy "premium" brands to get real ice cream, or get it from a local ice cream place.

    It also sounds like your freezer is not cold enough. I know because I'm dealing with a similar issue. My freezer is cold enough to keep everything frozen, except ice cream. My freezer was only getting down to 20°F which is cold enough for most things, but ice cream needs 0°F to stay frozen/hard. It's time to buy a new freezer.

  • One and done: Michael Phelps calls for a lifetime ban for anyone who's caught doping
  • Not only should they get a lifetime ban, but every athlete should be tested 100% of the time. There is no reason why something as huge and prestigious as the Olympics, with the kind of money it brings in, should not be doing this.

  • Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty
  • People can sue for whatever reason they want, but that doesn't mean a court will entertain it. I'm sure whatever judge this is put in front of will dismiss it immediately.

    As for the difficulty discussion. Not all games are made for all players, and that's OK. If it's too hard for you, play sometime else. Soulsborne games do not need difficulty settings, and I'm glad they don't.
