The concept Proto Z with the Ikazuchi Yellow and black grills is just chef's kiss. Thank God the production model looks the same as the Proto concept.

Awesome stuff!

I have decided that I will be using libreddit till the small communities I follow here get really active.

YHappy weekend~

Happy weekend for you too!

Good luck man, gf had it and I felt so bad for her. It's hormonal right? Making it even harder to resolve? The worst part of it is people giving normal skincare advice and not hormonal skin care advice lol

Who open it they will have to seed it.

no. not that kind of seed

That's a bit tricky for now since we haven't established the instance-wide etiquette and moderating NSFW content is really really hard, and not easy for the moderator's psyche too.

Great question. We've been talking this out internally and will share a note on this soon!

NO FUN! LET THEM TIDDIES FLOP AND THEM BOOTY BOUNCE!!! WE WANT NSFW PHOTOS!

not so long ago, maybe 6-7 years ago, just before GE, the daily thread used to be very deserted lol, double digit almost every single day. This chat thread does remind me of the calmness the old DT provided me, and hopefully many other people.

if you go even further back maybe 7-8 years ago, the entire sub was a desert, you could post very strange questions like What does everyone do for a living, What is everyone's favourite food etc... HAHHA

Do you get the relogin when opening the site? Or does it ask you to do it every refresh?

try clearing cookies (if you don't want to be logged out everywhere, do it only for this site) because there was a lemmy cookie bug that was fixed last week, and old cookies carried over from before the fix could cause such problems

I think you need a combination of both. As always, fitness is a very diverse subject with everyone being their own experts (and have different experiences cos of variations in...everything) so take this with a grain of salt.

In my mind, I group fitness/dieting activities into 3 major categories:

1. Eat better- eat less carbs but prevent hunger pangs and binge eating by making sure you replace the lost carbs with other foods like veggies, meat, tofu, eggs. When eating out, the most practical way to do is to eat mixed rice shops. The chinese ones, malay ones, the indian ones, wtv. In my experience, balanced meals usually results in better mood and less cravings for sweets/chips/snacks. That's even better, cos you don't need to expend willpower to stop yourself from stuffing your face with kerepek ubi pedas.

2. Exercise to build muscle- muscle uses more energy even when idling (when you're sleeping, sitting, watching TV, etc). So building some additional muscle throughout will make you use more energy and draw down some of those fat reserves. A mix of body weight exercises is not difficult, just a bit of many things, consistently. Gradually tone up those muscles.

3. Exercise to burn calories. Running, swimming, etc. You need to keep your heart rate within a range so either buy a fitness watch or learn to quickly measure you pulse on your neck.

it's a mix of both. I have been doing intermittent fasting for 4-5 years now, i used to be able to lose my weight and maintain it at low -er level. my metabolism has perhaps slowed down and IF is no longer working on its own and I could no longer eat whatever the hell i bloody want. Perhaps try swimming, it's like the only sports that doesn't feel like Essesise imo.

Also are you a woman? I'm asking because women can gain weight due to hormonal fluctuations so it's natural? And if by fatter you mean appearance-wise, could be due to salt retention and what not - try cutting down sodium intake.

If the purpose just to lose weight, I would say go with dieting.

Do exercise when you wanna get in better shape. Saw too many people got demotivated to lose weight because they think they need to exercise and push yourself but I'm the end they feel like eating more because of it.

So I would say focus on the diet first. It's a process, it'll take time. Slow and steady also take care yourself too.

Coming in a bit late but I'll say this: if you want to exercise for fitness, yes please do. But exercise and/or dieting for weight loss is basically... Bunk. Yes there will be (short-term) results but much of the state of evidence in 2023 will tell you that TLDR your body is very good at staying alive and if your weight setpoint is such-and-such, then work with the body you have to give you the fitness that'll give you good long term prospects. Even your own personal experience (at your age) is telling you there's no real meaningful correlation, meaningful as in you can't minmax your way to a solution. General advice about living well seems sound, but nutrition and fitness science literature is showing there's really no standard pathway that you can hack. BBIAB with citations.

omg i was typing a long ass comment but accidentally cancelled and now it's gone. Here I go retyping it.

The commenters here are right, but so are your parents.

Exercise regulates your hormones and keeps your hunger in check. But after exercising, you're gonna be hungrier than usual. Just make sure you're eating what you normally do. Drinking more plain water might help prevent overeating.

You're a woman so you have hormones that make you crave certain types of food. Give in to those cravings, but keep it in moderation - you want to satisfy your craving, not eat a whole meal of them. E.g. if you're craving chocolate, grab one or two small cubes and eat them slowly. If you're craving fried chicken, have a couple of wings or a drumstick but not too much more. If you suppress it, you're gonna stress yourself out which messes up your metabolism or your productivity.

I have a wall of text typed up which I'll put in a following comment, but you can ignore it because lots of people give diet/exercise advice but you should avoid information overload. Work on yourself little by little and don't feel obliged to apply every advice in your life right away. You can always come back and re-read later.

Disclaimer: This is not health advice. I'm only describing what I know from chubbyemu's personal experience.

Always do diet control first. No point burning calories if the intake valve is wide open.

Basic exercise follows. Don't overdo it at the start. Go slow and steady. Only ramp up when progress plateaued with diet + basic.

Dude, is this the same issue you talked about months ago? Glad that you had it fixed!

did it feel like the car's sliding when braking? and since the rears didn't work the fronts were probably working way harder?

Wtf just happened and how can i missed the train uhuk

(quite interesting, even though you @ me, i didn't get notif also)

re: akkoma - ya it's a pleroma fork actually. can't quite remember if there was any technical reason for it, it was mostly because the pleroma dev+main instances was infested by nazis and rightwingers and lolis. iirc when i joined in nov 22, that was the "lore" that i picked up.

of the *keys, misskey is the original flavour but the japanese founder dev is apparently a bit of a lone wolf and so the dev for that became quite slow. And I think there was fallout when he, in running the japanese instance for it, wouldn't commit to moderating against homophobic speech or protecting explicit support of lgbtqia. So there was a big break from then on from there. The rest are forks of misskey, but you've pretty much named the major players:

• foundkey is a fork by this swiss guy. Apparently decent but is by this one guy, so that could be an issue.
• calckey is by this german guy I think. This one is going to go on relaunch on the 19th with new name etc. Supposedly it's because the fork has branched out enough it's its own thing, but idk. Sounds cool though, another german dude to go toe up against Eugen's Mastodon. I've noticed a lot more on the Black Americans side are beginning to rec Calckey because of all the functionalities you've also noticed (I'm on a walled-up instance for BIPOCs for example, that runs on it). Just because of what I perceive to be real good prospects in terms of userbase and with it development and funding support, I recommend Calckey, and--
• hajkey (it's swedish for shark, so "hai-ki") - this one also another difference in ideology. The people behind blahaj.zone have been key contributers to the Calckey code repo but they fell out over the growth mindset with the soon-to-be-renamed Calckey so this is a soft fork. So they'll stay within the calckey development cycle. (but who knows how soft it would be; one issue i'm sort of understanding is how resource intensive it can be as an instance grows, especially on the antenna function - btw, my favourite fedi function when it comes to scouting posts from other people.) My kitajagakita alt is one awkward.company, that one runs on this software.

re: federation - the problem is normative centralization - mastodon is the main dog especially in the western and western-facing userbase, so lemmy and *keys and *oma devs do try to make sure the federation works well there. But Lemmy is already a little janky, and maybe that's why it doesn't really play well with the foundkey yet (esp if the fk dev has enough on his plate). try setting up on an instance on calckey (not the main one, they're having continual performance issues) or hajkey and see if there's any improvement from last month (even kbin wasn't federating well with calckey).

LONG POST IS LONG

All of these are good. The type doesn't make a huge difference- the ripeness is more important.

There are minor differences in sweetness/sourness balance, and strenght of the flavour. But all of them are good mango. Except the R2E2, it's is exceptionally flavourful, almost pungent, very sweet and very smooth flesh. If properly ripened, it's like the durian equivalent of mango. Serious.

I prefer to choose mangos that are evenly coloured and got no dents, blemish, bruises or holes (you want good ones to slowly ripen at home). Don't need to be very yellow, even green with a slight bit of yellow is ok. Bring that clean and smooth baby home and let it ripen in the kitchen (put on something slightly soft like some newspapers You kids may not know what newspapers are. Before the internet people had no way to communicate, so we got our updates of the world affiars via centrally broadcast video on TV, audio on radio, and printed on newspaper. There was no such thing as customised news or media back then. it's a bit like making your own bread I guess, it's not as convenient but it's.... ). If you let it ripen slowly the inside and outside will ripen together. Be aware that this process may take 1 or 2 weeks, so just cut it when you think it looks done. If the mango looks like its starting to develop dark spots, immediately put it in the fridge and let it ripen until you feel the spots are going the be more than skin deep, then just cut it before the blemishes spread into the flesh. I like to turn the mango every few days so the part sitting on the table doesn't get too soft. Like coma patient, you know.

Once it's ripe (smells nice, soft when pressed, yellow like proper mango), its ready to cut. In this condition before cutting, it can keep in the fridge for a few days before becoming over ripe

Local or Thai R2E2 mangos that look ready-to-eat are sometimes ripened with carbide (or similar thing applied from the outside). This makes the skin and top layer of flesh fragrant and soft and orange, but inside it's still hard and sour. If you're not sure about the fruit ripeness, buy a green one and ripen it yourself as described above.

R2E2 is an Australian type of mango, now they are also available from Thailand. The ones in Australia are HUGE, very yellow and very sweet. IIRC the fibres are also very short, so the flesh is very very soft and smooth. Some people like it, some don't. It's got a very striking name and reputation, so they are generally more expensive. I don't buy them unless the price is really good and the fruits look like they have potential to ripen at home.

wow they made R2D2 into mango. hebatnye...

Usually i always buy susu one, not sure about the other.

Hmm? Would you care to elaborate a bit?

Or maybe you haven't sign in yet? This version of Lemmy UI have a problem of npt signing in when you first open the browser, refreshing will fix it.

Jalan Jalan Japan I suppose

Yeah, people tend to browse with "all" to see more content, but unlike Reddit, c/cafe doesn't comes with country identifier like r/malaysians does, so no one will think twice about answering your question since it's also pretty general.

Same thing with my watermelon post which get a tons of views, upvotes, and comment from lemmyverse and people from different country. The tone is a bit different than what we always get from monyet.cc, and the advice is not malaysia climate specific.

I originally create c/food for us msians and monyet.cc, but lately i got a few people not from msia posting on it. This two case got me thinking.
