Sugar and sweets are one of the hardest addictions to break. It is a slow-acting poison that makes connections in the brain’s reward center, usually from childhood. I suggest trying to eat whole fruit

Anonymous 124137

Honestly I didn't drop sugar until one day I drank a bit too much sweet drinks. Straight up made me feel the worst I've ever fucking felt for a week.
I can't consume too much sweet stuff ever since. I tried a milkshake and a cake piece yesterday and it still made me feel super shitty…

But seriously though, OP, maybe you just need to eat different things like the other Nona said. You're not overweight, and if you're on the lighter side, maybe you're not getting enough carbs, protein or fiber from elsewhere?
On the list of other potential reasons: too much stress, not enough sleep, not drinking enough water, etc…

Had to quit sugar myself because I got too close to diabetes. It was hard at first but eventually your brain rewires itself.

It is due to blood sugar.

• blood sugar goes up
• insulin goes up
• sugar goes down
• sugar goes below normal
• you feel bad and need more sugar

It might be related to mental illness too, as your brain gets more energy during a sugar high it alleviates it, so soon sugar becomes your crutch. You don't necessarily have to eat sugar to cause this either, starchy foods can have the same effect.

The solution is to manage what you eat so your blood sugar is above normal but not too high. In short, eat beans. Beans have a low glycemic index meaning they release sugars into the blood gradually. There are other foods with low glycemic index but none are more convenient and abundant than beans. Beans can be friends.

This also alleviates sugar cravings, because you don't go into panic mode, though it takes a measure of willpower to wean yourself off sugar.

Anonymous 124283

try to eat vegetables instead, like something crunchy. Carrots or green stick things, apples in slices or pears even. Eat fruits BEFORE 4pm and drink a lot of water nona.

how to cope w how ugly i am Anonymous 123748[Reply]

what subject says. i'm obese and very likely mentally ill. i could lose weight but i'm not strong enough to not overeat so there's no point in that atp. i've been exercising more lately which has been somewhat motivating but i still know there's kind of no means to an end here.

i know i'll never find love, which sucks, but i guess that's just how it is.

18 is way too young to give up. You could be hot by 20. Getting fun workout clothes and and personalized water bottle can make exercise easier (mentally). Meeting friends who are fitter than you can be a cheat code too since you get to parasite off of their experience as you give them an ego boost.
Your cravings might be crossfiring in your brain. When you feel a craving, try chugging some water first and see if it goes away. If you still want the thing, less of it will probably satisfy after the water.

Where do you live? I live in Europe, and there are private doctors here who describe not-Ozempic here if you have a somewhat medically justifiable
reason.
Losing weight is important, if you live your life overweight, then by your mid 30s your body will be a wreck.

No offense, buy you're super obese. You need to lose weight NOW. You're way past the 'I don't wanna, I'm not comfortable with asking my doctor'. Besides your doctor is there to help you. Results matter more than niceness at this point

probably not the healthiest advice, but pic rel is your friend. Over the counter in american pharmacy's and the watered down ephedrine kills your appetite, also helps with focus. You do have to scan your id at the pharmacy's counter to get it, it's so they make sure you're not stockpiling enoungh to cook meth, 1 box every 6 days is the limit in america. This helped me move on from a 30 year old 5'6" 300lb+ hamplanet to a now sub 200lb chubby woman that still has crippling issues with her body image thanks to a lifetime of being fat. Also please try to eat real food , you need more than processed meats and cheese.

im too scared to tell anyone i was groomed. i fear that when i say the words out loud i admit to myself that its a part of who i am now and i dont want to make him a part of me. i dont think anyone will understand but i sometimes wish i went all the way with him. to make it something i wanted instead of this lingering feeling of fear. i dont want to be scared or alone anymore.

Listen I was banged in the butt when I was 6 years old by my cousin. I didn't even clock that what he did was wrong until I was well into my late teens and had a memory flashback. It's not something I tell the world about. My spouse knows. My mother knows and when I told her about it she freaked the fuck out and told me to shut my mouth and stop lying even though it was pretty crystal what happened. Do I count it as "part of me"? No. It was something that was done to me by an evil little retard. He knows I remember because at a family gathering he made the mistake of approaching me whilst I was propping up the bar alone and asked me if I wanted another drink. I said "Yeah no. I remember what you did." He knew exactly what I was talking about. The guilt and fear was scrawled over his little rat face. I said "You might have been a kid too but you were way older than me… Tell me why I shouldn't go and pick up that karaoke mike and tell everyone. Seeing you get your skull caved in might liven things up."

He stuttered and spluttered out "I'm sorry. We were kids. I didn't know." The creepy little bastard was twice my age when he did that. I told him "You were old enough to know better. I want you to know that every time I see your dad I think about telling him. You know what he'd do if he knew. You'd be eating through a straw for the rest of your life."

Again, the spineless bastard just stood there not knowing what to say. The fear was making his pupils shake. I watched him and waited for his response. Really I was looking for an excuse to get up and really fuck up that 80th birthday party, but sadly I couldn't bring myself to do it. Grandpa only turns 80 once and the shock might've killed him. I settled for "I'm going to finish my drink about then sing a song. Lets see if you're man enough to stick around until the end."

I haven't seen him in 20 years. Weirdest part is that he's gay. I guess he didn't know it back then which is why he went for the butt hole instead.

So that's my story kiddo. Don't let it have power over you. You can't change the past but you can weaponize it and it does provide some solace.

idk if these people truly will ever be capable to live as normal if they have gone as far as to take multiple lives, not even one.

there are many instances where law enforcement failed to take action on people who exhibited criminal and violent behavior, which led to bigger, worse crimes

Anonymous 124242

>>124241
Plenty of people live "as normal" after having killed people. Consider people who have fought in wars, or even the people who participate in trials in which people are sentenced to death. Plenty of murderers have continued to live normal lawful lives after having not been caught. Systemic and institutional murder is significant as well.
There's nothing out of the ordinary suggesting that this guy will commit similar or worse "crimes" in the future. If you're truly worried about inaction against people who may commit bigger, worse crimes, you should turn your attention to protected classes who commit some of the worst crimes in society who remain unpunished.

like murder? I agree, it should be punished, because getting off easy after ruining someone's life isn't a good look.

Anonymous 124245

Glad we can at least agree on something.
That said, I don't think I would consider murder a form of life-ruination. Both can be bad, but they are not the same thing. Of course, they are also not mutually exclusive.
In general, life-ruination is perhaps one of the biggest crimes, imo. I think people should strive to reduce suffering in the world.

massive used laptop almost for free Anonymous 122991[Reply]

when i see allegedly intelligent people at university with their stupid 1000€ to 2000€ laptops it gives me the creeps. they pay so much to have the latest tech plus they subscribe to programs and apps and services. screens at ridiculous high resolutions, that's how they trick em. these laptops are designed to be difficult and expensive to repair.

meanwhile i bought a used thinkpad with a large screen that even has a numpad, which i appreciate for typing numbers🥳🥳🥳. how much did i pay you wanna know of course: 150€. that's a tenth of what the average hoe or hustler is paying for theirs and what can they do with their machine that i can't? nothing. i can't think of one thing. i don't get it. i guess they don't know. anyways consumers gonna consume, hooray for me. i am currently writing this on the big screen.

would love to hear about your wise techchoices but please don't talk about your apple products or your other consumer-grade disgraces

Making laptops thin and lightweight brought us here. An extreme example is the 2015 macbook that one that introduced rose color scheme and in a later iteration the butterfly switch keyboard that was btfo by mere dust. Corporations hid their ill intentions you mentioned under the guise of thinness and people fell for it. Think about the thin smartphones that were bent because people had them in their pockets and sat on them

yeah. the manufacturers act like they are innocent and were merely trying to reduce the size and weight of the load the poor students had to carry in their backpack. that's not all they were doing.

i love how my old laptop battery type does not use pouch cells and instead has the round 18650 typical battery shape. i have seen so many pictures of pouch cells being swollen.

Are you guys unaware that you don't represent the majority of consumers? Normies want "big screen" and "thin computer" and nothing else. They will just buy whatever gives them the most social points.

Framework is neat, but at the end of the day, it's just more gimmicky consumer-junk designed to be a fashion statement. They're just appealing to "tinkerers", because they realized that people LARPing as computer nerds are an unexploited market. For example, their desktop line is an absolute joke.

There's more to "repairability" than just being able to take it apart and buy parts (albeit that is a big hurdle for some products). Framework laptops are "repairable" but at the cost of a greatly overpriced ecosystem (For the cost of one of their laptops you could've bought multiple old thinkpads, for example) and there's more to repair-ability than just being able to take it apart and having the company sell you spare display hinges. The build quality is supposedly pretty mediocre, especially for the price. You're also fucked for spare parts when the company inevitably keels over because their volume is shit compared to something like IBM or Lenovo which shit out millions of thinkpads for enterprise use which can all be cannibalized for parts and the Chinese factories keep making off-brand spare parts because they have a ton of tooling and leftover stock with loads of demand for parts from nerds with thinkpads. That said, for what it's worth, framework is certainly doing better than something like ARA/Phonebloks.

I realize that a lot of the "right to repair" shit has people dogpiling against modern consumer electronics which are difficult or impossible to open up with firmware that refuses to accept new parts, but the solution to that isn't a violent reaction in the other direction, but to reform product demand. People love to shit on manufacturers because they think "the consumer" is people like them (individuals, home users, etc.) but the real force behind the "thinner and lightweight" trend is enterprise users. It is the "big companies" at fault, but it's not the manufacturer; it's the procurement bPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Broken Computer - Please Help Me!! Anonymous 124156[Reply]

It's broken in a weird way. One day, out of the blue while I was typing code in Visual Studio, the monitor turned to grey static all of a sudden and the computer wouldn't respond to any inputs. Then, next time I tried to turn it on, it made a weird buzzing sound and wouldn't show anything on the screen. I have worked with lots of computers but never seen anything like this before.

Technical specifications:
- HP Desktop Slim 2021 Model
- 16 Gigabytes of RAM
- 1000 GB m.2 drive with Windows 10
- 500 gb m.2 drive inside a PCIE16 adaptor with Linux Mint Cinnamon
- I was on Linux when it crashed

Please let me know if you have further questions or solutions. I use this computer for professional purposes and need it for a programming project.

I'm not a tech wizz by any means but it kinda sounds like it could be faulty components and you should try testing to see if your pc will work without a video card or with a different psu etc

Anonymous 124183

Try taking out your OS and running through the components one at a time until you get to BIOS. Start with the RAM. That sounds like it would be the culprit. Take one out and try booting, if the problem persists try the other one. If that doesn't fix the problem start replacing components one at a time until you get some signs of life. I doubt it has anything to do with the CPU, those things are super durable. Just my process, you're on linux so you almost definitely know more about these things than I do.
Good luck and please give updates!
