  • I mean I fast intentionally so this just sounds like a skill issue to me.

    I truly don't believe our bodies were meant to consume a full 3 meals per day unless you're doing something crazy like bodybuilding or hard labor that actually burns the number of calories you consume by doing that. Honestly as a desk jockey I get by on just a good dinner, but I'm the type that has to eat to satisfaction at mealtimes which makes it hard to stick to portions.

    What im trying to say is it's perfectly fine to just eat when you're hungry, even if it doesn't fall as frequently as a 3-meal/day schedule. It's also okay to be hungry for a bit, if the ideal food for a healthy meal isn't immediately accessible to you. You're not going to starve to death. You'll just start burning fat for energy (or muscle/brain tissue if there is no fat left, so of course be careful). As long as you're getting the amount of nutrition that is necessary to keep your body going, and you're not already underweight, you'll probably be okay.

    Breakfast especially in my mind is a scam pushed by the grain industry to sell you cereals, oats, breads and pancakes. I just get hungrier throughout the day whenever I break my fast that early, and I gain weight if I do it with any amount of consistency.

    edit: also drink water!!! It can really help push off your hunger for a bit so you have time to think about what you're putting in your body.

    I used to use sleepyti.me until it was bought by some shitty company that sells mattresses or something and subsequently went to ugly bloated ad-infested "modernized" shit.

    I just checked again for the first time in a while and it seems to have improved since it was first redesigned, though it's still not as simple and lightweight as it once was.

    Anyways. It helped when I used it. Kept a shortcut right on my home screen for the longest time. If you can look past the stupid brand name they've chosen to redirect to, it's worth a shot.

    Yes, Israel is a country founded by jews, for jews. That doesn't mean they get to be an ethnostate.

    That implies violence against all non-jews that currently live there. That violence has already been demonstrated against the non-jews that were already there, the Palestinians, who have been pushed to the fringes of society and into the open-air prison that is the gaza strip. The flames of antisemitism simply cannot be fought with more flames of islamophobia. All people deserve the same rights and protections regardless of race or religion. That should be what Israel stands for, not "ethnic cleansing but it's okay this time because the historically persecuted people deserve to have their turn at creating an ethnostate".

    Like, we understand why the Nazis were bad beyond the fact that Jewish people were their main target, do we not? Because that's how guys like Trump get into power with extreme anti-migrant rhetoric and an anti-democratic party behind them. Fascists can't sell their ideology on anti-semitism anymore; it backfires, in the same way Lee Atwater pointed out it does for the N word; so they sell it on xenophobia or islamophobia or whichever public enemy (out-group) they can create, and then further shrink their in-group when they gain enough power and/or disenfranchise enough people to do so without much recourse.

    Fascism won't always be as obvious taking up the old flags of Nazis past; and as such it is incredibly harmful to reduce them to any single hallmark, such as the particular vendetta against Judaism that took place in WW2 (not to mention that those particular Nazis prefer there to be a Jewish ethnostate so they have somewhere to expel jews in pursuit of their own ethostates); it will take influence from and adapt to the blind spots of the culture where it spawns from.





  • The only way to completely snap out of it for me sometimes is to start reading out loud or at least move my mouth with the words to reinforce them. Although it doesn't always work, I do realize quicker if I have no idea what's coming out of my mouth than if it's just in my head. It also forces my brain to slow down a bit.
