  • I used to love this as a kid.

    Now as an adult, I found a fun substitute. Slice some cucumber. Then add cinnamon, salt, and whatever sugar substitute you like. It’s not quite the same as the real thing, obviously. But I haven’t had the “real” version since I was a kid. It’s a nice throwback that satisfies the want for a desert-like item with few calories.


  • I think the real issue is simply that excess calories (and sugary foods are highly dense in calories) leads to obesity. And obesity in childhood lends itself to continued obesity through adulthood, thus higher rates of things like diabetes and high blood pressure.

    I think the whole argument about sugar itself is a bit of a moot point. It all comes down to whether or not you let your child become obese while you are still under their care.

    I grew up in a household with a lot of sugar. I turned out just fine. Two of my siblings struggle a lot with obesity, and one has been overweight since childhood.

    Ohhh ok yes I have had that then lol. Screen goes to max brightness. I actually kind of appreciate that feature because I keep my brightness pretty low and sometimes things don’t scan well like that.

    Interesting. I’ve not come across something like this. Which types of apps do this for you? I’m guessing maybe something about banking or something???

    It’s really hard to parse these sorts of things. All of these before and after shots for any of these procedures are done by the people advertising them to you. Of course they are going to pick and choose things that work out well. Would be nice if there was a less biased way to research these sorts of things tbh. Interesting technique, though.

    My favorite is when Brits stay stuff like “entering sixth form”. Makes them sound like transformers or Pokemon or some other epic transformation.

    The point is that GPS map services factor in traffic data…

    I know roughly how long it will take for me to drive the several hour trip to my mom’s house when there aren’t any accidents or construction work. It’s those factors that affect my ETA.

    It’s not. I don’t have a stricture and the thing in the OP happens to me sometimes. It’s like very very occasionally, I swallow weird…and it’s almost like a cramp or something odd happens where I get pain from swallowing. It gives the same energy as when you accidentally inhale your own spit, but it relates to your esophagus instead of your lungs.
