Easter week is from the 10th onwards I think. 10th to 15th. you have good friday on the 14th I think and resurrection monday tuesday is something right? maybe
Kannagi
14th is Good friday, Monday is easter monday, sunday is easter sunday so 14th, 16th, 17th There now you are informed

I finally solved the torrent problem a bit ago, too TURNS OUT I was trying to save the thing on my E drive, and that part was working but I also have qbittorrent store unfinished torrents temporarily in a folder on F Which, of course, couldn't handle the size, which was why I was using E So it filled F until it literally had 0 free bytes And then threw errors at me and locked up my whole system
『sk』
I wonder how hard it'd be to launch a US nuke without being the president
『sk』
I guess if you figure out who the two dudes manning the keys are, you cou- No, wait, you really do need that code the president has to even fire it, too I guess you could be the guy with the briefcase
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
doesn't the secretary of defense have to okay it
『sk』
No the president can nuke shit like, at any time Because the potential situation of a nuclear strike requires being able to immediately pull the trigger, there's no checks other than "is it the president? y/n"
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
The president orders it, and then it can be confirmed by the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of Defense can approve it, but can't veto it.
『sk』
Does it really need that?
『sk』
Oh So it IS happening once the president hits the button
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
>while only the president can order the release of nuclear weapons, the order must be verified by the Secretary of Defense to be an authentic order given by the president (there is a hierarchy of succession in the event that the president is killed in an attack). This verification process deals solely with verifying that the order came from the actual President. The Secretary of Defense has no veto power and must comply with the president's order. i see i see
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>76670 Not necessarily. If the SecDef doesn't want to do it, the President can fire the SecDef at his discretion and the next one in line gets to do it. >>76674 In a matter of seconds.
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
so you gotta steal the football, know how to use it, and fool the secretary
『sk』
I guess the secretary could just NOT verify it and say "fuck it", though
>>76672 How fast can this be done? As in can he replace the secretary immediately? And also replace them with someone without any sort of bureaucracy?
『sk』
Also the secretary of defense is a female somehow in my mind The title itself
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
the next person in succession instantly becomes the new secdef
Game Grumps really went downhill after Sir Jonas of Tron left

Pretty much. It's one of those really mimetic anisong tracks. Probably one of the things that people remember Eureka Seven best for.
Anno
Of course it doesn't help that its come on TWICE this session. Granted in two different DJ's sets but still.

That's Deadman Wonderland, yeah. Shiny Shiny was its ED, so.

>SadPandaBoY
Anno
Oh shit it's actually Pandaboy with just a silly name.
Anno
I KNEW THAT WAS COMING.
I've heard this mix so many times I know its lead-in by heart.
『sk』
This is my jam
Anno
This is my "I've heard this mix way too many times."
『sk』
There's such a broad range of subgenres in the anime techno group
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
is it city lights
Anno
Nah it's that Gakkou Gurashi mix with the gunshots and gangster audio clips mixed in with heavy wub at times.
『sk』
No this is nyanpassu
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORUAnno
City Lights actually has a wide assortment of mixes and even if it gets played twice (or three times, or four times, or six times) in one night, odds are they're different mixes. But there's like two Gakkou Gurashi OP mixes and 99% of the time it's >>76705 this one that gets played.
『sk』
I got excited for a second cause I thought Jesus followed me Turns out it's an imitator
>>76711 Oh no we're gonna see expansion fetish porn of Spider Man now
Sonia
>>76664 there are submarines with nukes that have two people with codes. some have orders to nuke if they lose contact from command the assumption being we got nuked
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>76710 i wish that when you link gmail accounts, reading them on your main account would count them as read on your other accounts i read my work/school emails through my main gmail on my phone most of the time so they always look unread in my work/school inbox unless i go there to respond to the emails
『sk』
>>76713 So TECHNICALLY it would be possible to get the job as one of those two guys And then force the other guy to join you in nuking
And nobody would have the power to stop it
Anno
Man this mix makes the Umaru OP actually sound really good. What a weird turn of events.
『sk』
>>76714 I think that's a setting in gmail's settings For how it handles email readers
>>76715 Yeah it's a situation described in a lot of civil war simulations that would end the war immediately. If these 2 specific people in any of the submarines both defect to the 'rebellion' side, they can win right there. Rebels can nuke the US but US can't nuke the rebels.
『sk』
>>76723 Oh yeah, if those two guys support the same side, the war ends the moment they realize
『sk』
Though really Their two nukes will only be enough to take out like a quarter of a state That low amount of nukes isn't civil war ending Or even if you had a lot, a civil war wouldn't be so clearly defined, or have the same kinds of valid strategic targets
Anno
>>76725 Well I guess it depends where they can hit. If they hit Washington DC or some key tactical grid, it would cripple the US.
The character designs. Kemono Friends is a stupid show with amazing character design.
『sk』
The actual show is garbage though
Anno
But it had such a ridiculous fan turn out that it pretty much saved the franchise from the trashbin.
Kirara☆
Even Yoko Taro watches it I might marathon it sometime
『sk』
I don't understand people
Anno
A bunch of my friends watch it until episode four which is apparently when it gets "tanoshii" and then were completely addicted to it for the rest of the season. I don't get it man. It's enough to really spike my curiousity of it.
But the low budget bus with no moving wheels popped up in my feed yesterday and said to retweet it if I was worried about a deadline err on thursday and I retweeted it and then I did like 10 hours of work in 7 hours and it felt like time was going slow like I was IN THE ZONE so maybe the show has magical powers
Anno
That was a pretty good mix too though. Based PandaBoY.
Anno
Bkub's weird ass manga about I don't even know is getting an anime.
『sk』
>>76749 This is the greatest news this year, second to OVERLORD S2
Anno
But I like this page of the manga that I saw a couple weeks back so maybe I'll keep an eye out for the manga.

Yeah, PandaBoY ended on a really big impact.
Oh hah hah hah.
『sk』
Oh yeah the mix too But the base song is fantastic
The problem is people like to announce stuff properly in early April because it's the first month of a new season. But then there's also April Fools messing with people.
Oh shit is this leading into that weird Aikatsu song- Guess not.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yeah that was posted at 12:03 am on the 2nd
Anno
And then there's also some studio or something that actually does their serious releases on April 1st anyway because fuck everyone else. Can't remember who it is though.
Anno
This is a really nice mix of the Hot-blooded Ping Pong Girls OP.

Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU

>>76881 There totally is 2B dies and you have to play as 9S.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>76882 Your understanding is wrong. There are three protagonists and you play as all three of them. Moreover, you play as Nines long before Toobie dies.
Anno
>You only live once
Yuu
>>76883 It's still a protagonist swap though. I don't like it when games do that.
>>76887 I guess it can't be helped. The character changes was probably one of the best things about the game honestly. And 2B was more interesting dead than alive in terms of the story.
Self-deprecating jokes on April Fools day aren't really funny. It's more like 'here's a day where I can be honest about myself because you might not take it seriously'

I'm pretty sure they've used the KonoSuba ED songs as "end credits" background music before. I think MOGRA really likes them.

Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
but the individual item isn't a scale
your answer on that item is only significant in respect to your answers on other items if people that are more authoritarian score that as "strongly agree" significantly more often than other groups, then it makes sense to include it on that scale
of course i don't know how the test was developed
『sk』
I don't really know what you're saying The question is a predictor sure, but it's perfectly possible to be the most liberal person in existence AND think one race is superior to another The two are only related in terms of demographic overlap, it's not an authoritarian view
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
yeah which is what i mean by, the response to that item is only significant in respect to your responses to other items
let's say you answer libertarian on most stuff but you answer that your race is the master race your end result is still libertarian because the masterrace item only is significant in relation to other similar authoritarian items
『sk』
Yeah but will it be less libertarian than someone who answered disagree? Because I'm saying there should be no difference in the end score

Most of them are slanted! Some right-wingers accuse us of a leftward slant. Some left-wingers accuse us of a rightward slant. But it's important to realise that this isn't a survey, and these aren't questions. They're propositions — an altogether different proposition. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are more moderate. That's how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass.
The propositions should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger buzzwords in the mind of the user, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.
Incidentally, our test is not another internet personality classification tool. The essence of our site is the model for political analysis. The test is simply a demonstration of it.

What have attitudes towards things like abstract art and homosexuality to do with politics?
On the social scale, they're immensely important. Homophobia has been highly politicised by leaders like Robert Mugabe and betrays a tendency to condemn and punish those who disregard conventional values. Hitler's pink triangles reflected similar authoritarian hostility.
Likewise, authoritarian régimes frequently attack highly imaginative and unconventional art, music and literary works as a threat to the rigid cultural conformity they uphold.
here's a very related FAQ answer
『sk』
>>77029 Again this isn't my problem Of course it's POLITICALLY important, but the two dimensions are ECONOMICS and AUTHORITARIANISM, neither of which are related of whether you think one race is better than another Believing one race is superior to another may make you more likely to be authoritarian, but it isn't an authoritarian proposition >>77031 Because that's... that's what left and right are

why are you assuming that scale solely measures economics

rook
Thank you moon mom i couldn't have done it without you
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>77030 left-right is economics authoritarianism-libertarianism is social
『sk』
You can't just slam social issues into it and expect that single dimension to mean ANYTHING anymore You could have a raving racist who wants to kill all the niggers, but he'll be a centrist because he's also a DIE HARD COMMUNIST But because social and economic are the same dimension, he's just as centrist as Hillary Clinton

>>77033 make sure you stay safe if they offer you any cannabis simply say no thank you try not to be too standoffish or they might knife you for not being cool if they try to get you to do bath salts bring them home and let me make sure they're pure before you try them
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>the social dimension is also important in politics. That's the one that the mere left-right scale doesn't adequately address. So we've added one, ranging in positions from extreme authoritarian to extreme libertarian.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
ergo that question loads authoritarianism because it's a social issue
『sk』
But whether you like or don't like gays doesn't say anything about whether you want to oppress them Or use the state's power against them in any way at all
Yes, authoritarians also dislike those things, but that
Look, \\\ Goddamnit this is gonna take some thinking to properly explain
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
authoritarianism scale is a social scale it reflects social attitudes
scoring high on that scale does not mean you want to have complete control over everything all the time and oppress people
Koi-
I think your problem is that you're expecting >obvious racist: +100 >obvious communist: -100 >Net Gain: 0 >Output: Centrist When you actually don't really know on what qualifiers do such movements on the scale hinge on.
『sk』
But authoritarianism is wanting the state to get in on the action
This is like saying pro-charity people are close to communism because they like helping the poor
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>77045 >But authoritarianism is wanting the state to get in on the action wrong
『sk』
>>77046 The hell that's wrong That's the AUTHORITY within the word

hitler was definitely closer to the middle in that
『sk』
Closer, sure, but not over the line into more libertarian Like his whole shtick waas GLORIOUS GERMANY (and also Austria soon) AND GLORIOUS GERMANS And awful others like THE COMMIES and THE JUDEN and THE whatevers

off tangent, but did hitler do anything right? aside from everything terrible, was there anything unrelated to the holocaust that he did that was good for germany

Well I mean, a war is always good for getting everyone work

outside of war and foreign policy though like for instance, castro massively improved healthcare and education in cuba
『sk』
Uh, I think he may have strengthened workers unions and some stuff of that nature The Nazis have kinda been a little bit of a template for a lot of europe in terms of worker parties, if memory serves me properly and I'm not just making everything up right now Stuff like social safety nets and whathaveyou Leftist shit, basically
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
in any case do you see why the race question might load on authoritarianism now
八十八
i wish i was more politically and historically apt i disregarded it in my youth thinking that history was basically academic stamp collecting and only cared about math and physics like an autistic fuck but now i'm so interested and i have questions that's embarrassing for an adult to be asking
『sk』
>>77062 No, not really I don't see any authoritarian position that's somehow more authoritarian because the person also hates the blacks
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>77064 it's because as >>77053 explains, this scale is not referring to the style of government known as authoritarianism it is referring to social authoritarianism which is , in this test, considered fascism
『sk』
I don't think I fully understand political charts Fucking confusing
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>77066 fascism is considered an authoritarian system of social orientation most times, fascism presents itself with racial components therefore in order to measure it, it loads towards the authoritarianism part of the social scale
i think >>77044 might be part of your confusion you're assuming that since you can be racist and an anarchist, race shouldn't be measured on the scale while it's true that they can be, racism is more typically associated with fascist systems of social orientation in fact, as you go down the anarchism scale, it's probably significantly less likely that you can /// you will be racist
so the points aren't just simply like +1 or -1 with answers, it's more complex than that and different questions are likely weighted differently as well
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it might help to read through https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2 which explains the scales

Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
you don't have to believe in the free market to have an opinion on what makes a free market
『sk』
Which is why it's odd to have it affect your score, unless the free market is referenced later in the test

Not necessarily. Your opinions on why one isn't valid is likely to be telling on how you look at the system itself.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>77109 well as you can see in >>77105, people that don't believe in the free market tend to go left which means that if you say that the free market needs lots of regulations, you're advocating for a non-free market

>>77111 No that's the problem If the question never asks me later if I want a free market or not, that question has no way to legitimately affect the score
If I ask you if slavery is allowed in an ideology, and I never ask if you like that ideology or not, what the hell have I learned? I've learned nothing about your position on slavery
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
you're assuming everything is simple again
『sk』
>>77111 Also no, I'm not advocating for anything with that statement
A genuine nazi rule requires a dictator Everyone will strongly agree, but you've learned nothing about whether they think a nazi rule SHOULD have a dictator, nor have you learned if they even support a nazi rule, genuine or otherwise You've aquired exactly 0 information on their stances because you didn't ask a question about opinion, but about interpretation of AN ideology, which they may or may not think is right, and which they may or may not think is the way it should be
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i think you are confusing face validity with test quality
『sk』
I don't understand what you mean by that
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
face validity would be like for example, on a test measuring depression, an item might say "i feel sad much of the time" that's an extremely face valid question - you can tell what it measures easily by looking at it
then there are questions like "I like to read mechanics magazines" on a test of psychopathology you look at it and can't figure out what it has to do with ANYTHING it's not face valid at all but the question there is a completely valid item which does contribute to what the test measures
Koi-
>>77119 I have found many cute ones yesterday. I was looking for the ULiL Koishi scan and ended up with 20 other images And reading Morino Hon's Omoito series again Because Morino Hon is great
>>77117 I can see why you might think that's my issue here, but I understand that kind of testing But if the statement was something like "a real mechanic magazine will have a tool of the week section", my answer to that wouldn't tell you much of anything at all You only know, from that, if I consider a certain part to be inherent in what I've defined as a real mechanic magazine. It tells you nothing about whether I even look at mechanic magazines when in the shop
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
it would if it had been empirically validated in the same way that "i like to read mechanics magazines" was individual questions rarely mean anything on many tests
Koi-
This question seems to work a lot more like the racism question than any of your other examples.

>Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism. Like this too I think the NSA is a fucking disaster and leading you to fucking 1984 at a rapid pace But those aren't MY civil liberties I live in Norway And we're not doing shit in the name of counter-terrorism
So I strongly disagree with the statement
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
alright, so disagree with it what's the problem
『sk』
I'm saying that unless the test calculates the political climate I exist in into the mix, this will make me look far more authoritarian than I am
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
maybe it looks at the question in the context of the other questions you know like >>77075
『sk』
But you can't both calculate the world I live in AND the world I want to live in from the same set of information about what I think the world should be like I'm just gonna finish the damn test and see where I end up

Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
the test measures more than the world you live in and the world you want to live in

One last thing though The test isn't made by Americans or modeled after Americans
『sk』
Oh no I'm a half-anarcho half-communist
『sk』
"it's not modeled after americans" he said as the test put me so far to the left of Bernie even Bernie himself is getting the pitchfork ready for some McCarthyism
Well which one is the accurate chart? Cause >>77137 this is on their own page
Kirara☆
You're close to me, yeah?
I'm the red dot in >>77105 That means you're close to Bernie The chart I linked is more in depth and historical while >>77137 is for positions in the election
『sk』
https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2016 Like literally right here
『sk』
I still think it placed me way far left for something not modeled after America
Kirara☆
They explain why Americans can't read the chart several times in the FAQ Main reason - not modeled after America
『sk』
That's weird to me
TN
I dunno, i think of myself as centrist and it has always placed me near the middle, though i think i've gone through every side of the axis
Yuu
here's where it put me. Some of those questions weren't really in a format where it was easy to answer though.
TN
Yeah lack of "no opinion" is silly for example don't give a fuck about adoption rights for gays
『sk』
Like what? I had no problems answering any of the questions
Yuu
Not just a lack of no opinion.
One I had trouble with was the idea that first generation immigrants can assimilate. It depends on their culture. Some can, and some can't. Abortion is also an issue that I have a very complex opinion on and a simple question doesn't do the issue justice.
TN
>>77149 Yeah, that too. europeans who have moved here have perfectly integratedm but take africans... Sometimes i meet second gen kids who barely speak finnish
『sk』
>>77149 The statement is all or nothing though As in it's either ALL X IS(SHOULD BE) Y Or it's NO X IS(SHOULD BE) Y
Yuu
>>77151 The answer isn't yes or no. It's sometimes.
『sk』
Sometimes is disagreement when the statement is absolutist The very existence of an exception meands you disagree with the absolutist view
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE『sk』
If I say ALL MEXICANS RAPE, but you know of one who doesn't, then you disagree If I say NO MEXICANS RAPE, but you know of one who does, then you disagree Because there is one or more exceptions to my absolute statement
Or rather, disagree. That's also why there's no "No opinion."
『sk』
I really don't see any of them you don't have an opinion on
Yuu
I'm just too intelligent for online surveys.
Ploof
From my perspective the jedi are evil!
TN
You can hold a neutral stance on issues...
『sk』
>>77165 A neutral stance is a stance, and when something's slanted one way or the other, you'll have some opinion
TN
>>77164 Good good Now face your destiny. Kill floop and take his place on my side as my nee apprentice
『sk』
Like "The government should force bakers to make gay wedding cakes" It doesn't matter if you're netural on it or not, you have an opinion
You either THINK THEY SHOULD, you you do NOT THINK THEY SHOULD That doesn't mean you necessarily THINK THEY SHOULDN'T by the way It means you don't actively think THEY SHOULD
Yuu
Star Wars morality is just terrible. Either you have to be a passionless asshole or you have to be batshit evil.
TN
>>77170 While prequels fail at it, they did intent to portray the jedi not really as good per se
Koi-
Neutral stances on rights means you don't believe it's a right.
『sk』
Basically that Neutral stances on fucking anything is "keep it the way it is right now"
Koi-
It's not even so much "Keep it the same way." But in terms of RIGHTS, it means that you don't care if it's granted or taken away. And if you don't care that it's taken away, that means you don't believe it's a right.
『sk』
The jedi were elitist fucknuggets who thought themselves so much better than everyone else, it lead to their entire order's extinction
Koi-
That's kinda the hook in the statement "If you are neutral on rights, you stand with the oppressor."
TN
>>77177 Also, forgot about the order's purpose, to serve the people and follow the will of the force Went all "muh republic" in the end
Koi-
>If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. That one.
TN
Inwonder could you bullshit a religion of shirtlessnes and then go about "no shirt no seevice" is oppression?
『sk』
>>77181 Yeah, basically But even on any other issue not even involving oppressors or oppressed people
Koi-
>>77183 What kind of issue on rights or injustice doesn't involve an oppressed entity?
『sk』
No I mean any issue, rights or not A stance on whether the government should buy a new jet fighter or keep the old one isn't a question of which side of a power dynamic you agree with But a netural stance is itself a stance on that too Because you either think they should do the thing or you do not think they should do the thing
『sk』
It doesn't even matter if you'd consider it given two parties being identical except for that detail You still have an opinion on it, even if you just really don't care
Koi-
I think I lost you. Neutral stances can exist. But in terms of justice, a neutral stance does nothing but allow oppression. There can be someone who thinks arguing between pancakes and waffles is stupid. No one is oppressed by this.
『sk』
Neutral stances aren't real
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
whew
『sk』
>>77187 But he'll still be able to say if he likes pancakes more than waffles or not If he likes them equally, then he doesn't like pancakes more than waffles If he likes waffles most, he doesn't like pancakes more than waffles
Koi-
Indeed, IF he actually has a decision out of the two. If he likes them equally, it's essentially neutral. >>77192 It's still a disagreement with both options, but it doesn't reflect ... oh you're talking about something different from me, I feel.
『sk』
No No matter WHAT his stance, he has an answer to the statement Even if he likes them THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT, he can answer the statement with disagree It's a completely binary proposition
『sk』
YES BUT EVERY QUESTION IN THE TEST IS SLANTED TO ENSURE THIS
I'm saying there's no question in the test you can honestly say you can't select disagree or agree on because you're in the middle Because 0 of the questions HAVE a middle
>>77195 I'm not really high enough level for the hard hard stuff, I play it really really casually.
Koi-
>>77194 Patching Guild Wars 2 and waiting. >>77196 Oh yeah, I agree with you there. But I do think neutral stances can exist. Or having no opinion can exist.
But these questions don't really facilitate that sort of thing. Err, better yet, it's BECAUSE they're propositions, rather than questions, that it doesn't facilitate that sort of thing.

Koi-
>>77210 Being able to properly express a point is far more difficult than anyone makes it seem. You have an idea, it goes through your lens, it goes through the receiver's lens, and then they get an idea. There's a lot lost in between all of those commas. >>77217 Yeah, but you said you had problems with it even though your personal thought to it was "Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't."
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
It's a likert scale so "strongly agree" is agree "agree" is "i generally agree, but..." so on and so forth
『sk』
There's just a lot of things that I don't bring into any sort of expression because they're parts I think are too obvious It's like "if you have 2 apples and I give you 2 apples, and then all those apples double, how many apple do you have?" You won't go over "well since 2 and 2 is 4," Because that's obvious You skip that when you answer
But I do that with a LOT OF SHIT
Which is why I can say shit like "ancap is basically feudalism" and it makes perfect sense to me
TN
>>77224 Mostly, strongly and with a "neither really" is best scaling imo
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
You should have a "don't know" option
This makes it too easy for people to duck difficult issues. By forcing people to take a positive or negative stance, the propositions make people really evaluate their feelings. Often people find they wanted to select 'don't know' mainly because they'd never really thought about the idea.

Yuu
Does sleep apnea wake you up mid-sleep or something?
【=◈︿◈=】
It can, yes Well technically it always does but not always enough for you to notice Like you may not "wake up" enough for your memory thingies to start remembering things Basically it's when your body doesn't breathe right while you're sleeping, usually because of weight gain, and causes you sleep issues, pulling you out of REM because your body is panicking about oxygen, until your brain is conscious enough to move the muscles in your throat to breathe right, and then it tries to get back into REM

>>77369 ywa that's pretty good. It's really a question of if you're skipping entire days or not, and just skipping a portion of the day. I never tried just not eating every other day, but even just eating in an 8 hour window didn't cause me much trouble at all and I did feel better
Anno
It's interesting how I just didn't feel any hunger until I started eating
Anno
Some days I just forget to eat all day but I feel it depends on how much activity you are doing. When you spend all day in bed lounging around ok the computer, you don't need much food energy
