Because there are some Democrats that have held on to their seats for many many years and are too fucking scared to do anything “out of the norm” because they may lose their seat. There are also some Republicans that will state they don’t like the ruling but are also too afraid of the loss of their seat to actually do anything for the country the swore to protect.

Ultimately it comes down to the fact that there are not enough brave representatives in Congress and the Senate to take on this problem. They all talk a big talk but if their actions reduce the chances of their reelection then they are out.

Damn at just 5 ft most of southern Louisiana is completely submerged. And these are probably not the wealthiest people so where do they go? Do they live in FEMA trailers further in land? Do we as a country have a contingency plan for this ? I doubt it but I hope I’m wrong.

I mean there probably are enough homes to help these people but that may cut into Blackrock’s rental profit so that’s out of the question…

The more I look at this map the more overwhelmed I get at the number of people that will be displaced at just 5 ft.

Where does Florida Man ™️ go when his trailer is underwater? Is he now Georgia Man or Mississippi Man?

This is a migration that I don’t think people want

There is some research that shows that aerobic exercise can have a positive effect on visceral fat:

More importantly, both aerobic and resistance training prevented regain of potentially harmful visceral fat.

These results suggest that at least 10 METs·h/w in aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, light jogging or stationary ergometer usage, is required for visceral fat reduction

These data suggest that aerobic exercise is central for exercise programmes aimed at reducing VAT, and that aerobic exercise below current recommendations for overweight/obesity management may be sufficient for beneficial VAT modification

HIIT is a time-efficient strategy to decrease fat-mass deposits, including those of abdominal and visceral fat mass.

But it’s not all too straight forward

The study found no difference in efficacy of liver fat reduction by either aerobic exercise dose or intensity.

There are probably more studies that show both positive and inconclusive evidence for exercise and changes in visceral fat because that kinda how science is…

Yep. If you are not willing to make the changes to your habits around eating and exercise as well as work on your mental well being then you will not see the long term changes you are looking for.

I think for many people it’s no so much that they want to regain the weight, it’s just they don’t know how to make the changes that they need to make to lose the weight and keep it off. And I think the biggest change that people need to make is looking at their mental health and how that is contributing to their long term weight gain.

Not taking away from the doctor and their experience and knowledge but fuck do nurses get the short end of the stick.

They do 95% of the work and rarely get the credit (or pay) they deserve.

Thanks for all of your replies. I honestly thought I was going to get a bunch of “just Google it” answers but I appreciate all the help.

At least now I know more about GitHub and what to do

While not the only reason but it seems that low fiber foods (highly processed) contribute more calories to the body than high fiber foods.

Negative motivation is the real way to make changes.

It’s great to have goals and positive things to look forward to when you reach those goals.

But to be consistent in doing the hard work to reach that goal it’s better to scare the shit out of your self by asking

“what happens to me if I don’t do the work?”

here is a documentary on it

What I think about is that you may have nothing to hide but that doesn’t mean your data can’t be manipulated in the future by bad actors.

I get it. I’ve had those thoughts that you are having. It’s frustrating as hell to see everyone around you succeed while it feels like you are spinning your wheels.

For me I came to the conclusion that I’m a late bloomer. It has taken me many many years to just start to do something I am proud of and I’m far from considering myself as a success. But the thing that I can’t do is take time looking around at everyone else’s success, it doesn’t help. Actually it pulls energy from what I need and want to do.

One thing I have learned along the way is make connections. If you want the network of people that others have you will need to go out and get it. The fact that you love to travel makes this easier for you. Like I said in my original post, meet people. Make it your goal to meet 4 new people in each country. Most relationships will go nowhere, some will become your friends, and a few may be able to give you a path to this success you are looking for. You said you didn’t have a goal - here is one. It’s not inventing plastic or traveling the solar system but it’s just as important. As a matter of fact the bigger your network of people is the bigger the chances are that you will succeed.

In fact you got one person (me) in your network now. I don’t know what I can do to help you but I rooting for you.

The twice a year time change and more heart attacks.

Yes. Your explanation used proper English and punctuation. As for whether p == np or p != np I don’t know.

There is no telling your future but from this one post I think you may find yourself more successful than you think. The fact you have realized that you are unhappy where you are is a big motivator to change that. Look at what you are planning on doing, studying abroad is a big step. It may not feel like it to you but it is.

I agree with all the other posts that comparing yourself to others is fruitless because you are not them. But if you really want to do something spectacular then go for it. What that is ? Who knows? And you don’t need to know right now. Just go out and learn about as many different things that you can. You never know where good ideas come from. Also meet as many different people as you can one big factor in doing great things is knowing great people. It will also make your experiences much more broad and interesting.

Say ‘yes’ to doing crazy (though non-life threatening) stuff

Take a class in some subject that you find really weird and/or uncomfortable

Ask for help when you need it.

Take a weird job

quit the weird job

Find a passion

find others that have that passion

get bored with that passion

Ask out someone that you think is wayyyy outside your league

I could keep going but its all great experiences and you will start to notice that you are caring less and less about the success of others because you are living your life.

Sorry for the rambling, but honestly this random internet stranger is actually quite envious of you and the life you have in front of you.

Thanks for that. I had a feeling it may have been more conspiracy focused than serious (but that was due to the source I’m getting the information from). I really appreciate your write up you rock!

Yep. Nothing changes because the people that have the power to make the changes don’t want to. The system as it is right now works for them. So why the hell would they want to change that? And most of them won’t be around to see the devastation so there is another level of apathy to all of it.

We can’t get out from underneath this monster it’s too late for that. But I hope that we can start putting people into power that are genuinely concerned about this climate crisis and start the true (massive) step to moving us off the path to total uninhabitability

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK…
