10 years ago people told me the same thing about getting 30, yet it still hasn’t happened. Whether that day may come or not, I can just appreciate that I still get “Once you’re old…” kinda stuff after 30. Feels good, actually.

I’m about 30 and still skinny. I eat at least 2,000 kcal a day, up to 3,000 kcal. I only get more weight by working out. Recently I’ve been injured and couldn’t work out for several months. I dropped back to about 70 kg (I’m almost 1,90 m) - while eating the same amount of calories.

Maybe I need to space out my calories, I only eat two meals and don’t snack at all. These just happen to be really big meals.

For the record, I’ve been checked for thyroid issues and other stuff. My body just really wants to stay at 70 kg, I guess.

Just looking on youtube, you can find binaural beats for pretty much anything: inflammation cure, pain relief, changing your eye colour, finding love and becoming rich. All the ones I’ve looked at feature comments from people claiming they’ve helped them.

They can’t possibly do all of the above and I don’t think there a studies proving anything but a placebo effect.

And, without truly believing in them, they never had any effect on me. I’ve tried them in my youth.

Continuity. Nothing ever matters with comics. Superman was a communist, a nazi, a zombie, a literal god and everything inbetween. But most commonly, he is about the same he was 50 years ago. Meanwhile I’ve been growing up alongside famous manga characters. I could be following Naruto to this day and he’d be roughly my age at most points.

Variety. I’m not into comics, I admit, but almost every popular comic I’ve seen is about some kind of superhero. Manga on the other hand have a wide range of topics and target audiences.

Accessibility. I can read a lot of manga right now. Offical, free and online (at least the most recent chapters). There’s no such thing for comics. And while we’re at it: Manga release at smaller chunks in shorter time intervals, which keeps more attention. Being black and white does help, I’d assume.

Anime. They are mass produced and serve to promote manga. There is no equivalent with comics and extended media like cartoons or movies and such often follow their own storyline. Assuming I’d be into the MCU, there is no single comic I could read to see exactly what’s next. If I watch a season of Jujutsu Kaisen, I can look up the correct chapter and continue the story seamlessly.

It’s not helping, but somehow I like the look of it.

First, it’s NEVER right for a person or group of people, regardless of position or occupation, to wish for a company’s death.

I disagree on a fundamental level. I stopped reading shortly after that.

From what I’ve seen he only gets up tight about food not being prepared traditionally. And like, I don’t care. As long as I like the taste, I don’t care whether or not it’s accurate.

Half my favorite foods are versions that would probably be considered war crimes in their country of origin - at least by snobs.

Sitting on my bed, which is mostly used as a couch during the day. Neither a dining table nor a couch were part of my budget.

I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.

Being downright evil is the secret ingredient to becoming rich. It doesn’t work for everyone, but all the richest people are evil.

It is a sound financial advice, but also a morally terrible one. It’s your call which of these is more important to you.

For all I care nazis could be hunted for sport. The problem is, neither I nor other people should decide who ‘deserves’ violence and who doesn’t. I’m not holding it against anyone to punch nazis, but I’d only do it to defend myself or others.

Two german states elected their state government over the weekend and both of them voted mostly for the nazi party or nazi adjacent parties.

After the Hobbit, I really don’t care for another Jackson LOTR movie. The trailer did nothing to change this.

On top of that, the first two episodes of Rings of Power bascially killed all my remaining interest in any further adaption.

There are also the Special Olympics and Deaflympics, which have their own cycle. I didn’t check, but there is probably something every year already.

I still do sometimes, despite using DDG for about a decade now and working in IT myself. Haven’t met anyone who doesn’t say it in my area.

They would be fine, you just have to choose a permanent location. Currently, we build the required stuff almost every time from the ground up and a lot of it isn’t used afterwards.

She’s incredibly skilled, more than any of the people I actually watch doing something like this. However, I watch these for entertainment and she simply isn’t speaking much. I get that you need to concentrate, so do a lot of other people, but they write a script afterwards and speak over their footage - that’s painfully missing here.

The way they censored the name is a new low point. Usually, you at least need to look for a few seconds, but this is just plain readable.

Glad to finally see something without a soft drink included - I like the soup much more.

What are those fried bits? They kinda look like small Gnocchi or something similar.

Given this data, I think I can reasonably predict that lyrics of pop songs in about 20 or 30 years will mostly consist of cursing. Maybe even sooner given my personal impression of pop songs repeating their lines more often each decade.
