/lounge/ - sushi social

Most of the /pol/ stuff is one person. I'll see what I can do about it.

been here for about 4 years
while i have noticed the amount of not-cozy posts and unwarranted hostility, i do really appreciate the ones who keep this place tidy. this is one place i'll keep coming back to time and time again.
i dont visit other chan boards like i used to, so having a place like them that isn't dedicated to ruining my mental state is really nice.

seconding this. Been here since the CoV years and while there's been some hostile and uncomfy posters the general atmosphere of kindness and comfyness I found when I first came here brings me back here every so often.

>i'm bisexual so both reasons apply to most people and i've had more heartbreaks than success.
bisexuality sucks. this is why i gave up a long time ago.

>>18298
brutalism is better. but your probably right about love growing out of friendship.

>>16199
Do you really wanna do that?

It's best to not try to force Sushi to grow unnaturally. I came here from word of mouth from my bf, so I think telling about Sushi to friends you trust will maintain the cozy atmosphere of Sushi is a very good way to attract more users. Never advertise sushi on random places since it either will not work, or it will only attract people that would make the atmosphere uncomfy.

Don't forget lobbying, dark money funding, gerrymandering and voter suppression and the flaws of first past the post voting. At this point I think a lottery of a collection of a few hundred to maybe a few thousand people would be a better democracy than elections.

The US political system was inspired by Ancient Rome. The American “founding fathers” (tyrants), were obsessed with the Roman Republic. It’s no surprise that the US system suffers from some of the same social diseases that plagued the Romans: extreme elitism, unwillingness to reform, political polarization, leaders who do nothing, incompetents, dumbass bureaucrats implementing suicidal policies, arrogant diplomacy, celebrities becoming political leaders, moral degeneration, even the immigration panic resembles the Roman obsession with restricting citizenship so a minority could hold onto special privileges. First time a tragedy, second time a farce. They’ll have a dictator soon, but he’ll be less Caesar and more like Chris Chan.

I'm always amused by how little context or historical awareness can be incorporated into a rant like this. That said, I do agree that we're headed to emperor Chris Chan at some point.

>>20623
Ok but just remember I was in a rut first before it was cool.

Uh… not well. I've limited snacks to once a week. I walk everywhere now and run. I'm trying to fix my sleep schedule so I can go jogging every morning but I'm still to anxious/not over hikineet social atrophy to go to a gym. The local one is always busy and filled with people. So I'm not really doing as much as I could be. The problem I'm having is I always feel hungry. So I'm supposed to cut down on calories, but people also say I shouldn't be feeling hungry either so I need to fix my diet but can't find reliable info on that.

>Have you found any good fitness resources you can follow?
Not really, I mean I read stuff online but have no idea what is genuine or not. I found a couple of old boxing manuals and they seem pretty solid but obviously designed for sports not flabby neets trying to lose it.

>still to anxious/not over hikineet social atrophy to go to a gym
If you have any friends that would be willing to go to the gym with you, it really helps and makes it more fun for your first time to do it with someone else, if you don't have anyone to go with then try checking the opening and closing times for the gym, On weekdays there shouldn't be many people around during working hours so 8-5/9-5 etc On weekends I find that not many people go in the morning or late evenings so 9pm onward, You could ask the front desk person at the gym what their least active hours are each day and just go then, Also once you actually start working-out you might find you get a boost in confidence as your body releases testosterone, might also increase your mood for a bit after exercising, If you've ran or jogged to near exhaustion you've probably experienced this before after you finished running.

>The problem I'm having is I always feel hungry
This probably depends a lot on how many calories you are cutting from your daily diet, If you started off eating around 4000 calories a day and then suddenly dropped it down to 3000 that's already a 25% calorie deficit so that could be an issue, If you have free time on your hands you could start counting your daily calories and trying to go on a lower deficit (This will take more time to get to a target weight) Here is a site you can use to calculate a calorie deficit https://www.fatcalc.com/rwl
If you don't have time to count your calories I find that eating more "Filling" foods such as lean meats, potato, rice, etc helps reduce hunger, not sure if that would work for everyone though.
>people also say I shouldn't be feeling hungry
If you're losing weight its inevitable to feel some sort of hunger really, but there is a difference in feeling genuinely hungry and just feeling empty, an empty feeling in your stomach isn't necessarily bad when you're on a diet, I think its normal but constantly feeling fatigued, having your stomach be in some sort of pain or discomfort and it physically effecting you isn't a good thing, if that's the case try making sure you meet your daily nutrient and vitamin requirements, and eat more nourishing/filling foPost too long.

Something stopping me from working out is concerned I'd wind up looking more manly. I'd rather look more youthful in decent shape. I also have trouble losing fat weight beyond a certain point even if I carefully calorie count.

>What's some good fitness info?
Find some exercises that are hard, but not impossible. I recommend calisthenics, as they don't require much equipment and are relatively safe.

Train 2-3 times a week, not more, not less and keep it consistent, like Tuesday and Thursday are training days no matter what. Plan ahead for these days. Prepare food and be ready to not get much done on the day after.

Replace sweets with protein and eat within 20 minutes after the workout. Eggs are a great source and can be prepared and spiced up in various ways, so eating doesn't become a chore.

When I worked out regularly, I did it outside in a secluded area. There were some barriers I used for dips, lying pullups and to jump on/over. Other than that it was just running, pushups, situps, squats and lunges. On rainy days I skipped the situps, to not get a wet ass. A full workout took about 40 minutes or 3-5 sets with running as a warmup.

Write down your progress and look in the mirror after training. This will solidify your motivation and give you some feedback other than your sore muscles.

Still haven't set up the Christmas tree.
Not much to be jolly about.

Tired. Zzzzzz

Started a new job last month after being laid off for a while and thought that would change up my life a bit but really things are the exact same except now I need to sit in the office sometimes.

>>20307
How did your assignments go, Hope you're doing better now

>>20540
This is the life. I wish I could just get a new job and it's just the same thing in my life.

>>20546
I managed to get them all done and read through most of that book too, enough to fake knowing about it. As soon as it was over, I ended up getting three more assignments dumped on me. I'm just gonna take it easy for the next few days.
