BS Biology, former ISSA trainer: The simple answer is - fat mobilizes globally, prioritized by access to circulation. The last 3.5% of body fat is brown adipose, which you can't lose, but if you could, you'd die from hypothermia.

Ron Swanson smirks at your comment.

I almost wish our bots would remove bias, unless it's some kind of persuasive essay. I'm sure there are some out there.

And to be clear, I'm blaming the author, not the bot. It's just forwarding the sentiment of the author, albeit more succinctly.

Even the tldr bot forwards such a heavy bias into the delivery of this information, I couldn't even get through it without eye-rolling. I'd like to receive the info, and then be allowed to think for myself.

This isn't journalism - it's a thirsty-for-validation, one-sided take on this topic. This proposal may not be viable in a vacuum, but there may be some interesting ideas that can be taken from it, when the reader isn't being spoonfed the psyche of an author that clearly wants you to agree with them. Like I said - I'd rather either hear both sides fairly, or get the info without it already dripping with the stank of another person's very negative opinion. Whether or not you agree with me, as long as you're thinking for yourself, you're doing it right.

Edited first sentence for clarity.

Mathematicians. On a sphere, you can make a triangle that consists of three 90 degree angles, adding up to 270. A flat triangle will require that all angles add up to 180, i.e. 60, 60, 60.

Edit: I'm not a mathematician, and yet I know this. So this one could probably include anyone who has ever had a math teacher that covered spherical geometry.

I should've dropped when I stopped caring. Got academic dismissal instead. Years later, I was tired of bs jobs, and I was ready to get serious. I went back to school part-time and earned my 4-year degree in a grand total of 12 years. Hardest thing I've ever done, but I don't have to bear that sense of failure anymore.

When you're ready to make that push, you'll know. Your journey is unique.

I got mine in a set that came with a poop knife.

Thanks a ton. I saw some other comments with spoilers flagged that were working, but they weren't indented in block quotes, if it helps. I suck at markdown stuff, so that's the best I can guess for troubleshooting.

I've tried some other games to try find a similar experience to Esther, but the quality of DE has proven to be rather rare.

What Remains of Edith Finch was similarly evocative, in many ways. I want to try The Unfinished Swan at some point, as a follow-up.

Leviathan was one that couldn't click with me. I hate blaming the voice acting, because he certainly had the chops, so I'm guessing he wasn't directed to be a sympathetic narrator, so much. I won't say more, but I think they were just going in a different direction/vibe in that game.

This game was memorable and phenomenal. However, I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I'd known the massive spoiler in your comment. It looks like you tried to tag it or something, but it's still showing up in plain text on lemmy.

Dear Esther stuck with me in a profound way. It was my gateway to a whole new genre. It broke my brain a little, as i initially tried to explore every nook and cranny of the boundaries of each area. The game grinds to a halt if you play that way. To any newcomer, just stay on or near the paths, and let the story unfold. There are no hidden chests or discoverables - just an incredible narration through memories and questions, and a chilling ost.

Additional thoughts: When accommodating autism negatively affects your health, I think the answer is in seeking balance. You can establish a reward system for making healthy decisions throughout the week. Also, there are some psychological issues that creeped in for me - as I lost weight and mobility improved, I somehow felt like less of myself. My clothes started draping a little more, and it felt like I was wasting into a lesser form. Anyway, it was a difficult head-space to navigate, but I feel like I made it through, for the most part.
