Sugar is the number one thing that you need to watch out for. Everyone says you cant eat carbs or calories, which is not true. Thats your energy to exercise. You should also start doing something like taking a walk or an easy bike ride.

The point is not to burn yourself out by taking on too much at the start. Some people think that dieting and exercise means starvation and physically grueling workouts, which is why many out of shape people quit exercising and dieting. Make small changes at first and add to tour routine.

Basically, I can be lazy as fuck and I have managed to lose about eighty pounds by making very small changes. I have never been to a gym or had a personal trainer, either.

One sugar cube = 4-5g. Check EVERY label of everything you eat or drink to get a good idea of how much sugar you take in. The FDA thinks that 40g is okay, but thats about five times as much per day as you need. Beef jerky, granola, salad dressing, condiments, healthy cereals these are some of the sneakiest places to find sugar because a lot of people grab these things thinking theyre healthy.

Get rid of sugar and watch the pounds melt off (with a little bit of exercise).

Sugar is why most fat people are fat, tbh. Its addicting like nicotine, so its hard to quit. You have to read EVERY label to see how much is in there. Every four or five grams is a sugar cube, so theres a visual representation.

Just because you have it for free, not everyone does. Simply hand waving an issue because it doesnt affect you is pretty uncool. You realize there are families out there who literally cant afford it?

This attitude is why the new video games cost an extra $10.

It's business? Everybody knows cable has its days numbered and streaming is the new norm.

Then why take the shows off air in mid season? Give us a fair warning before putting something behind a paywall, not that you guys seem to care about being charged extra.

Dude.

They freaking took dozens of shows that people have loved for years and took them off air mid season and put them behind a pay wall.

Explain to me, please, how this is anything other than a corporate cash grab? I love the idea of the service, but theyre literally making people pay two times to see a show (most of us paid for cable to see the shows and now theyre suddenly not there, mid season, and without warning).

Hey, everyone is at home and out of work. They barely have enough money to pay the rent, but lets force them to pay $5/month extra to have access to the only escape they have from their mundane life.

Also, every time Ive bought a gun theyve done some type of background check. It wasnt a three day hold, which it shouldnt be, but they ran my stuff to make sure I havent been charged with certain crimes and that I dont have any mental disorders that would prevent me from buying one. What more would you want?

Automatic Assault weapons, as has already been pointed out, are already illegal. If they really wanted to go after high capacity semi auto rifles, then they would limit magazine size to like four. Thats not going to happen because 30 round mags sell like hot cakes and it accounts tons of tax revenue.

If they really wanted to make life worse for gun owners, they would:
-go after magazine capacity
-force you to register ammo (which some places like DC apparently already do)
-make it to where you cant keep the gun in your house (aka check your gun into and out of the game wardens office to go hunting)

Not ever going to happen in the US because the courts would shoot it down in a New York minute. They will play around banning stuff like bump stocks or tactical scopes, but there are literally too many guns to ever ban them outright and the government would lose way too much money.

Against it. I vote against gun restrictions, but Im not worried about this. Biden is expected to give a few statements about how evil and horrible guns are, but the Democrats never do anything but talk about it. Gun restriction usually happen under republicans, oddly enough. The only thing that democratic presidents do about guns is cause fear which causes the prices of ammo to go up.

Gun and ammo sales account for so much cash flow that neither side actually wants it banned or restricted. It is irritating, but they will never make any serious changes to gun rights.

It makes sense. There are some random days when everyone you encounter is calm and nice, but some days everyone is hyper aggressive.

When the weather sucks ass, you sometimes only get one day per week when you can safely leave to go shopping. Everyone in town has the same forecast, so there are many times (especially during the winter) when the majority of the city has to shop on the same day. This sort of makes it look like the city is more overpopulated than you think and it makes everyone mad because they cant shop without being mobbed by other customers.

Seriously. Every time I have to work a customer-based job, it reminds me how barking mad about 70% of my town really is. My city is expanding by a lot and ten years ago, serious violent crime was very rare. Now, people get shot much more frequently and it all started happening when all of these out of state implants moved in.

On a side note, one thing Ive noticed (and I know this isnt all of them) is that these young, modern families can be the most entitled people you will ever meet. They take up the whole bike trails and get all pissy when you pass. They do the same thing in the store and they act like the seas should part for them because they chose to have kids. They want to ban vaping because of kids. They want to censor every movie because of kids. Half of the country didnt get their $600 check because they added all of those provisions for kids.

The way people drive
the way people act in the store

So pushy. So greedy. The entitlement that everyone seems to have now is just unbelievable.

When I was a kid, people didnt act so aggressively in the grocery store. They will get two centimeters over your shoulder breathing and sighing to try to make you hurry so they can take ten minutes to look at every item on the shelf (me me me me me).

Some days I honestly want to start verbally and physically attacking everyone who gets in my way or pisses me off, but thats not the way and I dont do that.

People drive like psychos. Youre literally driving two thousand pounds of metal and fuel, so maybe dont zip out in front of people? Its selfishness and entitlement. I dont want to wait, so you can use your breaks.

Yes. School is not what it was when most of us were growing up and these kids legitimately dont learn anything. Literature is now considered racist, history is watered down for the same reasons, so the only things they focus on are science and math. Politics are also being forced on kids at a very young age.

The modern cartoons and media suck. Why is it that these modern western cartoonists draw everyone to look so hideous? Very unappealing in some ways and the quality of the shows themselves is garbage compared to the stuff we had in the late 80s and early 90s.

The kids parents are often really young and inattentive people who are genuinely not finished trying to be young and social, so the kids are basically raised by the Xbox. Basically, if your parents are boomers, then you very likely have the ability to get financial help from them. Zero tolerance protects antagonists (bullies) and punishes victims when they stand up for themselves. Sorry, but nobody wants to be a tattletale.

Modern kids are not set up for success.
