Lol glad to hear it!

Are you alive today lol

I don't really care about Ghostbusters, but I found this to be a really interesting video. He seems very wise with a lot of his tips and explaining why he does things the way he does.

One of the things that he mentioned that I also have personally found helpful is he said something about pre-portioning snacks so you don't eat too much.

It's so incredibly wasteful, but for snacks in my house, I prefer to buy the bulk packages of snack sized portioned snacks (whether it's chips, nuts, etc.). Thing is, I know it's so incredibly wasteful for the environment to have things individually wrapped. But when they are individually packaged like that, it's a hell of a lot easier to see and understand just exactly how much you're eating and usually stop yourself before you get too deep. Sure, it's more economical and wasteful to buy a giant family sized package of chips. But when I have to open each individual 150 cal snack bag, it's a lot easier to stop at only 1 or 2 bags.

Of course, not every snack comes packaged this way. I have thought about buying certain snacks and then pre-portioning them myself like he does, but it involves a lot more hassle and I don't have anything like a kitchen scale.

That's actually a super neat photo, too. It's the perfect positioning and framing for a portrait combined with the scenic nature view.

I'm not quite the same demographic as you, but I get it.

For me, it's simply not possible to have kids unless I adopted. And that ain't happening (adoption is a long, arduous, and expensive process and I'm only one person...wouldn't want to take that alone). I suppose technically my body might physically be able to produce kids...I haven't tried, but that's missing the point.

People sometimes ask me if I want kids and it's just such a silly question for someone like me. It's like asking if I had a mega mansion, how would I decorate the 7th bathroom? What I want is irrelevant because that's not at all in the realm of possibility.

I don't know if I would want kids or not. But since it's not possible, it's not worth dwelling over.

Weirdly I know quite a few people who converted to being religious as adults. As children, they weren't raised with any particular religion.

I don't go to natural bodies of water much. Why does it have a drowning risk?

As someone in a warm climate, I'd be terrified of brain eating amoebas. Based on the foliage in the background though I'd bet they live in a cooler climate with much less risk of that.

I like these, but places near me don't seem to sell them. Well, my local gas station used to, but they were always hidden in the back and expired which is gross as fuck.

Well, I mean it's less weird to write "golf ball-sized hail" bcause it's a rather common way to describe the size of hail. Energy drink cans are cylindrical, so it doesn't make immediate sense in anyone's brain in the sentence as a comparison. I'm guessing the author couldn't think of a common enough spherical item of the right size to compare with. Still, I think hyphens would have immediately fixed the strangeness, like the person below you commented.

Stop scaring me. I don't want to think about my death!!

I am a younger millennial. I use ellipses all the time tbh. But I never use them at the end of a sentence like that. I tend to use them in the middle of a sentence often to break it up if it seems to long and I don't want the formality of a semicolon.

Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder!!
