To add to this, it gets easier over time too. Your body starts to get used to not eating so much, so you don't feel as hungry, and if you manage to cut down on the fast food intake if you're lucky it'll start making fast food taste kinda hollow.

I don't really have a better word for it. I started to cook and go the decently sized portion route. You can eat an entire stuffed oven roasted chicken breast with a big plate of roasted veggies (with various seasonings to taste - I like garlic powder and red chilies) and feel comfortably full after, for the same amount of calories a big Mac meal would have been. And you actually feel full, and like you're not loading your body with crap calories that slow you down.

I mean it'd be as realistic as the rest of the AITA posts, I'm on board

Damn, these are great, thanks! Surprisingly chill at times, and the cello!!

Edit: not a cello! Apparently what I'm hearing is either the balalaika or the morin khuur, super cool!

Ok thank you this is a sick recommendation. Do I have the right album? Wolf Totem is on an album called The Gereg

Man, you need bigger problems in your life.

I had a friend who learned the phrase "I currently have an axe lodged in my head" in a few dozen languages for the same reason.

I think the Russian conception of Nazi is literally someone who threatens Russia.

Yep. Just like the US definition of socialist/communist/terrorist

Unfortunate but this is the truth. Too many of us have been accustomed to small luxuries like "affording takeout", but we unfortunately have been priced out of being able to afford stuff like this.

It's a tough pill to swallow if you've been doing it your whole life and think that a functioning adult with a full-time job should be able to afford some takeout every now and again. We are not the generation that gets to enjoy that privilege, it seems.

Centrism being villified in America is really weird, as that is explicitly championing extremism over moderation.

Leaping so hard onto one side that you cannot tolerate anyone's toe out of line, the party line must be upheld at all costs, is exactly the same kind of extremist shit we go after the right for. Just be better. It's easy to get caught up into the "us vs them", "black vs white", "red vs blue" thing, but it's really not that simple.

The example above is a strawman. I can do it too. One side says "kill all minorities", and the other side says "all minorities should become the new upper class of society." Neither side is actually pushing for either of those things, and we've turned real issues into disconnected make believe.

You're simplifying the problem to the point where you don't even have to think about it or consider a single argument. It's much easier if you make up some extremist shit and then say anything and everything is justified in opposition of that extreme.

That's what makes the "I'm not bought and paid for so I can say it's a hoax freely" line so weird.

I've never understood how people not being paid to intentionally misunderstand the topic can go on about the hoax line.

Yes, I think if your political views are actively hurting someone or advocating for harm to a group of people then you should be held responsible for the shit that comes out of your own mouth.

This is not even remotely comparable to being unable to fire someone just because they're black, or gay, or a woman.

That's the thing though, it's not Netflix vs cable anymore. It's Netflix + Disney + Prime + whatever other streaming services have the shit you actually want to watch. And when you add it up, it's just like cable packages. The only advantage is it's all on demand.
