I know some people in business particularly in sales
And their view of the average consumer is that the average consumer is a joke
They would love to sell and market high quality stuff
High quality food

But
As they say

People are so incredibly stupid
So incredibly stuck in the matrix
So incredibly stuck in groupthink

That you might as well just give them what they want

I think McDonald's would love nothing more than to be able to offer a high-quality salad
In their stores
I think facebook would love to offer genuine community engagement
I think freediver would love deep and thoughtful posts

But the average person is so stuck in mediocrity
The only things that vibe with him
Are fat and sugar and salt
Emotional outbursts and outrage
And trying to get a little hit of dopamine by attacking other people online

The life of pure garbage is not imposed it is chosen

Even the extreme death anxiety
The anxiety around kovid
Is probably nothing more than an expression of narcissism
Me me me
I'm so important I can't stop thinking of anything but my own health
I am the centre of the universe
Is that not narcissism

Trump is a narcissist but at least he recognises it
I think he triggers a lot of other narcissists who are trying to hide it

Perhaps whilst kneeling before the refrigerator
You could reflect on that



I agree. FD has some great tips on how to make debates interesting and fun for all.

Quote:
Have you ever noticed how on some forums the debate always ends up as a personal slanging match? This can kill a forum as it puts off newcomers. Eventually, even those who are interested give up trying to have a serious debate. The bottom line is, no-one really cares about your personal vendettas or the outcome of your epic battles. At best, they just find it amusing to watch people wind themselves up.

There are two main causes of this. If the moderators fail to enforce a reasonable code of conduct, or they show bias in the enforcement of it, then heated arguments will be inevitable.

Mr Trump know all this, of course. He only trolls to wind up the leftards, no?


i'd imagine FD's thoughts are no different to those of twitter or facebook or a current affair.

'we would love to promote deep thought and discussion, collaboration and improvement and a positive narrative BUT people just arent interested'

emotional states are addictive.

go and eat a salad at maccas and feel the hate.

people dont want to change
they love their failure
they love their pain
they love their victim hood and their derp state.

you try and show them something better and they will hate on you for showing them something better.

I grew up with the idea that fast food was a once-a-week thing. Pizza was a Friday night thing. The rest of the week, the meals were a variety of meat and vegetable combinations. Sometimes it was savoury spaghetti. We had the roast on a Sunday. Generally, the meals were relatively healthy.

My go-to drink was usually cordial. I do not know why I drank cordial so often. I guess I was allowed. I kept drinking that regularly until I was about 18 years old. When I got a casual job, I had a bottle of made-up cordial to drink during the quick breaks. Not having time to do much else, my health took a tumble.

I had my first McDonalds meal when I was 11 years old. A McDonalds opened up in 1994 across the road from my school when I was 15 years old. You can imagine lunch times had issues with students crossing the highway to get to McDonalds, breaking the school rule of leaving the school grounds. But, McDonalds was not a thing until I went to university. A meal at the university cafeteria would set me back $15. A meal from McDonalds would set me back $10. KFC was a go-to meal for me after working 6 hour lunch shifts. After expanding my waist line by 25kg, I decided to change to Subway. I lost at least 20kg inside 3 months.

But, over the years of adulthood, having alcohol every week was such the norm that I have given up caring about how fat I get. That is until you wake up feeling ill from the condition. People give you a difficult time for being overweight. Being obese is something that attracts the ridicule. I do not like it. But, I have to do something about it.

thats called 'motivation"

losing weight is hard, but the "i do not like it" provides the fuel to propel you forward.

if we just decide that its not nice to talk about weight, people will accept it.

this is happening in america and will happen here soon.

in america, you can tick a box on your 'my health record" making it an offence for a doctor to weigh you or to talk about weight loss.

as per usual, the short term gain in feeling unchallenged will fester into a long term pain when you have pressure sores, diabetes, busted knees and feet, kidney failure and are kicked into a nursing home.

love it when its hard.
never follow the path of least resistance.

your mind will contantly tell you to give up
ignore it
treat the body with rigor and the mind will submit

this is another benefit of daily cold immersions.
you are training the mind to submit to the body
now when you feel hungry , you can just laugh at your mind.
stupid mind. youre not the boss anymore

Oh, the whole motivation to lose weight is when you get disgusted looks from people who do not want to be around you because you are overweight. My sister is inviting me to Christmas at her place this year. That gives me the motivation to lose 20kg in 4 months.

I just got on the scales before and saw that I maintained the same weight that I had 2 weeks ago, even though last week was terrible for me with my diet. I think I should go and do a 7.5km ruck before I get dinner going.

rocky, i had a bit of a bad low back and one knee that gave me grief

my son got me a sled.

the theory is that walking forward all the time makes your leg unbalanced

the canadian and scandinavian lumber guys always pulled logs out walking backwards

and they regularly won strong man competitions

the trick is to walk backwards

it really gets the heart going and it gives you a great core strength and great low back as well as fixing the knee

the chinese have been backwards walking for centuries.

after a 7 km ruck , i would give this a go.

you can make your own or buy one cheap on facebook marketplace and then just walk backwards round your house on the grass pulling your sled.

you should give it a go

I see a lot of men still in their early 20's who can best be described as skinny fat - there is a special kind of soft pudginess about them as if they spent their childhood and teenage years eating nothing but fast food and drinking soft drinks. I have even noticed in this age group an aversion to water saying "it doesn't have any taste" ... Roll Eyes


I saw exactly that this morning. A young couple in their 20s, both very much losing their youthful leanness. Both eating a HUGE acai bowl with probably with the calories of 2 Big Macs.


never had an acai bowl. am I missing something?


Yes.
