New year's resolution: 3840x2160

(I got myself a monitor for Christmas.)

[–] amon 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's so 2016, a proper new year's resolution would be 5k4k, two ultrawide displays mounted on top of each other.

/s im too broke to get an ultrawide display

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Reject modernity, go back to 4:3.

My current setup is literally 3 4:3 in a row, i found them in a company liquidation auction, they may be vga at 60hz, but in all honesty i still play all of my games at 30fps, so it's not a big issue.

What I'm saying is, look around on stuff like local flea markets and stuff like facebook marketplace, you may find some pretty good stuff.

I have a big 1920x1200 decommisioned graphics LCD display that is still quite good

Highjacking for actual advice: instead of going on a diet, just start counting your calories using an app and analyse the stuff you eat and drink, then start making adjustments and looking for foods you like but let you hit the right amount of calories as well as a good ratio of carbs, protein and fat. This will be much more efficient and easier to maintain long term, and once you've done it for a while and reached stable target weight you can stop counting and just keep eating the same way.

I've tried calorie counting a few times and it's a pain in the butt. I make a lot of my own food, so I need to calculate the total calorie value of the meal, and then figure out what percentage I ate.

Although it's a good way to deter snacking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yep like the other comment said there are ways around that and also there's definitely a threshold of accuracy. Make your recipe close enough and save it for next times then just estimate the amount you had, close enough is definitely good enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

That requires one to use a written recipe and not freehand cooking meals with whatever you have on hand

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Not necessarily it just means you need to weigh your main ingredients. I never said it was gonna be a walk in the park and that you can lose the weight without making any effort or adjustments to your diet and way of cooking, obviously the counting is just a tool to understand and visualise your calorie intake, it's still up to you to adapt what you cook and eat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

My Fitness Pall has a pretty decent built-in library. Just weigh your ingredients and say what they are. It also has a barcode scanner, and a meal-portion/recipe option where you can just say you had a portion of a certain dish.

I used to use the recipe thing a LOT, but it helps if your standpoint is that "within 100 calories is accurate enough".

I knocked out as much saturated fat and cholesterol from my diet as I could and I dropped 10 lbs without much effort.

More puppies? As in you already do this?

2025 resolution: get around to killing myself

[–] amon 2 points 4 days ago (3 children)

unjack, power down, turn off and seek help

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

No seriously, what more help do you want me seek?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Oh sorry, didn't realize you were european, not american. I should have said come here and stab me instead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

My yin turning off is exactly what I want to do. Actively on drugs and in therapy, for all the fucking good it does me. Lemmy's already literally the last social outlet I have left. If you want to be helpful instead of posting reductive comments, come here and shoot me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you fucking dare, I'm killing an innocent person. You want that blood on your hands? DO YOU?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I really need to stop being such a whiny pathetic attention seeking bitch and either shut the fuck up or get it the hell over with so I can stop stressing people out and concerning my friends.

I say to myself, as I actively post this whiny, pathetic, attention seeking comment

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

You can be a whiny, pathetic, attention seeking bitch! I'm fine with it. I think it's kinda cute 😉

What I hate to see is you hating yourself. Nothing else about you really bothers me 🥺
