Confession: I eat the same food every day. Porridge with sultanas for breakfast Cheese and ham toastie for lunch Poached eggs on toast with cheese and ham for dinner Protein shakes on training days Bananas and apples if I want some fruit I'm sure this shouldn't be healthy, but I have more energy than I have ever had, am lifting heavier every week, and my poo is absolutely splendid. In your face, 5-a-day.
And you were mad about my opinion on baked beans ... Seriously though, I'd get bored of I are the same thing day in day out. I'm dangerous when I'm bored...
Hmm, yeah I suppose this is slightly hypocritical I don't get bored of it because I'm not really that bothered about food. As long as it's palatable and stops me being hungry, I'll eat it. If somebody made me a delicious meal I would eat it and enjoy it, and appreciate the effort that had gone into it. But I'm not sufficiently motivated to make the effort for myself and lack the imagination to think of something different to eat every day. Eating the same thing every day means I don't have to waste time and mental energy trying to think of things to eat.
^^^ This is me exactly. Thank you for explaining to me why I don't have an interesting or very varied diet. I feel better now.
The way I see it, if I ate more healthily and more varied (i.e. more fresh fruit and veg, lean meat etc) then I might live maybe 5-10 years longer, but those would be elderly years when I might be frail or infirm or even have dementia. I have seen grandparents and others get to a very elderly age, and it's rarely an enjoyable experience for that person. So I would rather live how I am now; I spend very little money on food which means I can spend it on things I enjoy, like video games and weed And because I spend very little time thinking about, preparing and eating food, I have more time to enjoy those things. I'd rather enjoy my younger years than prolong my older years.
I don't really give a lot of thought to getting old to be honest. If I ever make it to retirement, I imagine my life would be about the same as it is now, except for my housing or location. Assuming I can still see well and I haven't seized up, I reckon I would probably still be living online, watching dvds and listening to the radio. That said, I have suspected for some time that I wouldn't make really old bones anyway, but I couldn't say why.
I think a lot of people probably feel that way. I know I do. I look at elderly people and just cannot imagine ever being like that. I imagine I will stay young at heard and in body until I die for whatever reason, but I suspect most people probably think that, but it's probably rarely true. If Elon Musk gets his Neuralink thing working, then our physical bodies will become pretty much redundant from the point of view of activity. Hopefully this happens by the time I need it.
Off to submerge myself in DVDs for the day for escapism/distraction. I may be back later, but don't go counting on it.
I have: Kick-Ass The Help Savages Escape Doubt The Insider If my calculations are correct, that should keep me busy till nearly midnight!
Confession: I only learned relatively recently (i.e. in my 30s) that reindeer are real. I had previously thought they were part of the Santa mythos. Spoiler They can't really fly
Until I was in my mid-twenties, I had no idea that Sherpas were a group of people. The way they're described in the earlier accounts of scaling Everest ("He reached the summit using neither oxygen nor Sherpas") led me to believe they were some sort of pack animal like a mule or yak.
As a Christian, I find it funny that I am drawn to You tubers who are Atheists, not morons like the Amazing Atheists. Different morons. . I am not going to say names as it would reveal my political leanings and ideologies, (if it's not already obvious, ) . But I just find it humors.
I've been off these forums and not working on anything productive or writing related because I became the victim of an apartment fire and subsequently ended up relapsing into alcohol and methamphetamine abuse in order to cope with the depression of being homeless. I'm currently at thirty-eight days sober and have been writing a lot more like I used to. I am currently staying in a halfway house for homeless addicts where I got my old job back and can save money while I look for a new apartment for my wife and I.
I know, right? It's especially disgusting because I remember studying the Himalayas in Social Studies class. No mention of sherpas, or if they did, clearly it was minuscule enough to leave that impression. What in the world? I mean...really.
I'm an atheist (leaning towards anti-theism), and I love watching Matt Dillahunty and co. I'm not sure why this is racist. It's ignorant, but not racist in my opinion.
The racism that I see is people who write of the Sherpas so dismissively that I and a few others mistook them for animals. It's related to the shift in perspective I got when I read an article which referred to "enslaved Africans" rather than simply "slaves." The shift added an extra level of humanity to the victims. ETA: Put the phrase "without the use of sherpas" into google and see if your impression is that they are mere tools or people. Could be just me.
I have Kick-Ass and Savages still to watch, but I thought The Insider and Escape were really good. Turned out that Escape was a foreign film (Norwegian), but it had subtitles, so I was happy enough.
Ahhh I see. I thought you meant it was racism on the part of people who didn’t know they were human.
