We are already at war but no widespread panic... yet...
Yes? Imagine millions of devices spamming your radio and core network to death?
>because the carriers were worried about their networks crumbling.
? The performance just want not there until 4G LTE came around. You could only push 2G and 3G so much. 2G was built for voice, data was bolt-on. Just physics. If you have another brilliant idea on how to solve that please comment.
Sweden has changed so much in only 15-20 years, I can remember what it was like and I weep.
But check out r/pics & r/interestingasfuck
They are crazy especially after Oct 7. Constant pro-pali posts.
/r/sweden is a leftie craphole. same with /r/tillsverige and /r/svenskpolitik
Subs with names like /r/wowlookatthis are posting blatant "west bad" propaganda. Making USA and EU people feel bad.
Yet I walk outside in Sweden and I'm in one of the best functioning and beautiful nations in the world. Yet Swedish Reddit will post "west bad" propaganda on how everything is right wing doom. I mean from their perspective, sure... but so so so wrong they are. I just hope they get some refugees in their houses.
I have some curated subreddits I use for work related stuff. For politics it is suffering. Now watch the left think it is due to right wing dominance. Wake up. All default subs are left wing crazy.
Sweden just has an "office worker" union.
https://www.unionen.se/in-english/this-is-unionen
Now, they cannot prevent offshoring or AI use or replacements. Very very rarely if ever.
But they can negotiate a large layoff and give better pay/conditions during work etc. This view that unions can prevent anything... when so many jobs have gone to east EU (all amazing and good at what they do but lets face it, it is due to pay) so yea there wont be any union preventing AI...
Also this pic says it all, if everyone is so loved and beautiful why is everyone hopping on the ozempic train...?
Here in Sweden only 5% smoke now.
40-50% used to smoke in the 60s.
It's like we have forgotten how to change peoples behaviours? Even when the answer is right in front of us in the past.
Growing up in the 90s and 00s "never smoke" campaigns were relentless and it has born fruit. Thankfully, also my parents never smoked and instilled how bad it is. But the public campaigns, the smoke packet images, the price increases.
So yes a lot of it is global incentives.
But you can still be an individual.
Same with clothes, growing up everyone wanted to be black in 2005 or emo. I had to re-discover good menswear like OCBDs and chinos. It does take some effort.
So, I like to see it as a differentiatory. Yes most is environment. I grew up with a skinny and active family. In a Swedish city. Truly obese people are rare and something IS wrong with them. Mentally and/or physically. You cannot just give up and blame everything else.
Summary from you feels like: "aaah help the food is teleporting into my mouth heeelp!!"
I would honestly love to have a discord or phonecall with all disagreeers with my points.
Cheers!
I haven't slept a full night in years due to having to get up and pee or waking up for some reason. Maybe sleep apnea but I haven't bothered to get it checked.
My diet is like crap, I eat junk food, sandwiches and chips and zero calorie soda.
Still 19-21BMI now as I weigh myself daily to keep in check. And having been 24BMI back down to 19-20BMI, I know it can be done and how to do it.
Maybe if I am 55 it will get harder sure.
But I just dont get as much dopamine from eating as others I guess. As the thinspo girls on TikTok, Youtube say "Eating is not the main event."
Thank you for commenting as I notice a lot of people just downvote or think I am trolling, but I am honest here but I dont express myself very well.
I am cought between two worlds, I am not smart enough to be here really, but not dumb enough to start commenting on TikTok. I belong on 2009 Reddit but that Reddit is long gone... thanks for letting me ramble. Hope the mods dont come and get me again.. u.u
As a slim person naturally, I see these drugs as cheating and I hope they are all not good.
We need some markers for separation, clothes are another good one. I am "dressed up" for wearing chinos and an OCBD lol.
At most I was 24 BMI and I felt like a fat bastard during COVID. Work from home in sweatpants and I got up to 24 BMI. 77-78kg, 182cm. I just did not weigh myself so I actually did not notice I had gained! But I did and decided to do something about it.
But I lost the weight pretty quickly.
I grew up at 60-65kg and that is where I feel at home in my body. I feel like myself basically.
I should add I am 35, so certainly no spring chicken.
"omg how did you lose it"
Very easy.
1. Weight loss is done through diet, not exercise. Exercise is great for the body, but not a primary weight loss.
2. If you work an office job you do not need 3 full meals a day. Eat a light breakfast, a full lunch and a light meal for dinner.
3. On the weekends, fast. If you are committed, this weekend, buy like 4-5 litre of sugar free/diet soda, flavoured water zero calories, and caffeine pills. To distract yourself, play a high dopamine grind game like Diablo IV, PoE, Borderlands, WoW/FFXIV, CS, Valorant etc.
Just drink, do not eat. Hunger is temporary and will last like 1h for me, then the body "gives up". Do a 24h or 48h water fast, you will drop 5kg easy and feel way less bloated. Repeat next weekend...
Set an alarm every 2-3h to get up and walk. Get your 10k steps in everyday by walking outside.
"omg that's unhealthy"
Yes, ofc but it is more healthy than being overweight or close to overweight, agreed?
"you can only do this because ur a Swedish chad and you have walkable cities!!"
I'm a degenerate gamer.
