Also intermittent fasting works for the same reason. Its difficult to eat over 2000 calories in a 6 hour window

Counting calories can also be rough estimates. If you are eating out do the math and ballpark it

Only drink water

Oh this is also a big one. Don't drink anything that has calories. Soda, Juice, Beer etc

Just a lot of empty calories there.

Calorie counting is more sustainable than changing food choices. I lost 40 pounds by doing math which is much more sustainable than trying to massively change what you eat

just need someone to create a website that automatically embeds every tweet with search/sort functions.

That sounds like Twitter with extra steps.

Just make a new twitter

Ok, I have a theme here.

#72: Worldwide Day Of Play

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/2/2/AAAG8cAAEn-i.jpg
Worldwide Day of playing Xbox, maybe.

From 2004 to 2019, Nickelodeon had a well-meaning but obviously short-sighted campaign in which they would cease showing their normal programming in favor of popping a message on screen encouraging kids to go outside and play. On the surface, this seemed fine: there's nothing wrong with a television network encouraging kids to get up and participate in physical activity. But... let's break this down for just a moment and you'll quickly realize where this campaign went horribly wrong. In a world where Cartoon Network and the Disney Channel exist, for example, kids can just change the channel. There are video games available as well, so... kids had a lot of options that didn't involve going outside. Parents have been trying to get kids to go outside for years, you think Nickelodeon's going to be able to do it? And, of course, there are kids who can't just go out and play. Kids with disabilities, kids forced to spend that Saturday in the hospital... imaging being a sick kid with cancer and just wanting to enjoy some Nickelodeon after chemo, and laying there in that bed and seeing a message telling you to go out and play. Nickelodeon actually once had a much more successful and fun campaign to encourage kids to get out into the world: The Big Help, a marathon in which Nick celebrities encouraged kids to volunteer their time with local charities. They had concerts and contests and top 10 countdowns and it was a day to look forward to every year, and it actually did lead to lots of kid-driven volunteer projects around the country. If you just turn off the TV, kids will look for something else to watch. The fact that it took Nickelodeon 16 years to figure this out is just sad, but it's taken them longer to correct their mistakes before, as we'll see later on in the list.

Feels like this would have been much more successful if they teamed up with other stations to also do this.

But if Cartoon network was still showing then this seems really short sighted

Good choice. I think it got away with it because none of the fetishes are explicit. It wasnt even Animaniac levels of innuendo, they were just plot points that some people had fetishes of.

Because of that, its kind of a catch 22 where to get mad at it you had to admit you understood inflation fetishes were a fetish, and I doubt any group wanted to do that. There werent any low hanging fruit to attack the show

Really enjoying this game so far. Still pretty early, but this is the best a Final Fantasy has felt for me (not including remake or FF4DS) since FFX.

I think this is general consensus, and I think after everyone is finished there will be heated arguments about XVI vs everything X and prior

There's an entire genre of people drawing skinny characters as fat and no one goes out of their way to bully those people in the same way this person was. Just the ultimate hypocrisy.

Well

I think that gets into making a character less traditional vs more traditional. Shipping a straight character gay is normal. Shipping a gay character straight when there already isnt very much lgbt representation can seem like bad taste. In that vein making traditional body types less traditional is whatever. I dont think that is where the hypocrisy is.

The hypocrisy is trying to make characters unreasonably sexy is also expected and everywhere which often includes massively changing body types, so changing a body type to more traditionally attractive shouldnt be a big deal at all.

Feels like if the artist had made the character naked and skinny it wouldnt have been a big deal which is ridiculously problematic on a host of levels when you think about it.

Oh, and Are You Afraid Of the Dark. Or the episode of Salute Your Shorts where Donkeylips flipped off a cop, teaching me of the middle finger being a "curse."

That's hilarious

Oh geeze Arnold traumatized me

Wtf internet

Drawing childrens cartoon characters as sexy is fine but drawing them as thin is evil apparently

I think I'm through the "Jill section" i.e. the "volcano level"

Unless the game throws a massive curveball with her and she ends up betraying Clive as revenge for Rosaria's conquering of the Northern territories and being used as a vassal her whole life or something equally as wild, Jill is going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame for boring "main girls."

It's weird because there's potential here but the game seems to always play it safe with her. Who knows, maybe it's still building to something. She's getting some weak death flags at least but I get the feeling it's just going to end with Clive talking her power and "curing" her or something.

The end of that was pretty cool

But yeah dont think it was enough to make Jill especially interesting. She aint no Yuna

that art looks exactly how I would expect 'Rugrats art-style, but try to make it genuinely good instead of good for being unique' to look

Definitely think rugrats was a product of its time. The art is absolutely bad but given it debuted in 1991 the art isnt especially odd compared to other 80s cartoons

Lmao

That actually is I think the absolute dumbest twitter decision Elon has made in a mile long list of dumb decisions

This list is awesome

Oh geeze. New power puff girls. Should have called that one.

Predicting we also will get the last season of Dexter's lab on here

I didn't expect my prediction to come true so soon

This is why I moved on to oneshorteye

I really do not care about Mario kart

I think you still need to send me the latest draft

I glossed over children.

Uh

Moving Doug from Nickelodeon to ABC?

Hmm, wondering if I can predict some of these

• Press your luck not being random
• Heroes S2
• Probably some Lost twist

Annoying, but might galvanize 2024 votes.

Bleh

That sucks man. I'm sorry

What this does tell you is after this and the new York congressman fraud democrats need to do a better job fact checking because that is apparently necessary these days

Actually looking into these things would have blown them out of the water but neither were discovered until it was too late to matter

Maniac64 posted...

Why?

If someone was waiting on a jury decision when it came out all the evidence was falsified I'm pretty sure they would throw out the case immediately rather than wait for the jury. And they certainly wouldn't let a guilty verdict by that jury stand.

You would need to investigate if those allegations are true

In the same vein where a defense attorney doing their job badly and not submitting evidence doesn't immediately change the outcome if the other party doesn't submit a legal affront to the evidence then they are acknowledging they don't have a concern.

Law is very structured

Sure, I guess I should have said heard. That would need to come up in arguments

Maniac64 posted...

How is this case not thrown out after realizing the whole situation was fabricated?

I don't think that was uncovered until after it was decided

I don't think this is a reverse racism situation (which are usually stupid)

Rather the group primarily hurt by affirmative action are Asians so it's just regular old racism.

Also those stats about black enrollment roll over the pandemic. My guess is the pandemic making everything harder influence that tremendously

LightningStrikes posted...

I mean the case for Affirmative Action is obvious, but I will just remind plum that majority opinion has not ever and should not ever be the basis of specific policy because most people dont actually know what theyre talking about. Especially in cases like this where its so easy to alter opinion based on phrasing and detail provided.

While this is true, the last thing you want to do is to make a strong stand against the majority on a topic that is ancillary to your overall goal.

If we get public education gutted entirely for instance because the far right runs against affirmative action and morons go along with it, it is bad for everyone.

Turns out you can address multiple kinds of privilege at the same time

Then let's see them actually do it because they aren't

Inviso posted...

I don't think you understand white privilege or institutional racism. Are you from Florida or something?

White privilege isn't the problem here. The problem is that instead of addressing privilege and identifying ways to diversify the student body universities have taken the easy racist way out

Economic privilege is infinitely more important to address but schools are still taking bribes from rich people and discriminating against poor Asians

This forcrd them to either fix the problem or go mask off and admit they don't actually care about a diverse student body if it hurts their income

Also literally looking at a PEW research poll where the majority of Dems approve so don't know where you got your numbers from.

New York times

TheRock1525 posted...

Spoilers every time a college has eliminated their diversity program a massive drop in black enrollment has occurred.

Almost like AA actually helped with diversity and people who opposed are just bigots who hate black people.

69% of Americans including 58% of democrats oppose private colleges being able to use race as a factor.

So no, I don't think it's just bigots who hate black people

Affirmative action is dead.

Universities are going to have to actually try to come up with alternative acceptance criteria instead of just giving handicaps depending on race which really should be a good thing for everyone if their goal actually is diversity.

This sounds like work

I liked it better than Umineko. The highs weren't as high but it also didn't have 30 hours of filler

Nook's right. Anyone who prefers XVI over ToTK is a certified crazy person. I should know, because I'm a crazy person who thinks Octopath 2 is better than both of them.

I keep eyeballing octopath but it's been put in the backlog

Looks like twilight princess and XII both came out in 2006

Which is amusing considering I wasn't a big fan of either

TomNook7 posted...

So far ff16 doesnt come anywhere close to Totk lol.

Go fight a gleeok in totk, then fight an eikon in ff16. Totk requires cunning, creativity, and skill, while ff16 leans heavily on style over substance. Like, totk has all these robust systems in place for the player to go crazy with, while ff16s rpg systems are all very surface level.

Dont get me wrong - FF16 is pretty great, and im enjoying it but be real.

They are completely different genres.

It would be like dissing Star Wars because the fight scenes arent as good as in martial arts movies

SCOTUS just released their opinion in Moore v Harper (the Independent State Legislature case)

I mean just released and I haven't had time to read it but it was 6-3, Roberts + 3 Liberals + Kavanaugh + Barrett in the majority and Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissenting so I can only assume they shot down the "actually we can outlaw democracy" part.

Expected but good to see

I just accepted the truth

what a moment

I also got there last night.

This is the most stylish game Ive played since Persona 5.

I put a lot of weight on unique and interesting experiences when ranking games and if this holds up another 30 hours its going to top Tears of the kingdom for GotY for me.

My only qualm with the game is 8 hours in Jill is kind of lame.

Kind of a surprise when other characters, even side characters have some personality to them. Someone says something serious and meaningful and Jill be like :)

Ive really liked the way theyve done side quests early on. All 6 or so Ive done were really about world building. They didnt feel like busy work because it felt like a continuation of the story.

This game is really well put together

Omg the hideaway has an npc named spoony bard
