I put soybeans, red kidney beans, chickpeas, black lentils, corn, bell pepper and tofu. I also make a salsa sauce with a bunch of herbs and spices Do you make burritos?

Looking forward to your posts! I think it's important to share even when it's not going well. We all have L's so we can help each other if we share them.

If you want to read more and you're interested in losing weight, you can feed two birds with one scone by reading How Not to Diet. It's a rigorously researched evidence-based book on healthy nutrition and weight loss. I finished reading it this year and it's a banger!

It looks good but every part of the city looks identical. I understand that cyberpunk as a genre is a critique of capitalism and the city is supposed to be a claustrophobic hellscape. But this doesn't make for very rewarding exploration in a videogame. At least in my experience so far.

I recently played The Ascent which is another cyberpunk game, they handled this much better. Every part of the city is visually distinct and has its own personality.

But I'm gonna continue playing Cyberpunk, I still feel like I have just scratched the surface, maybe I will change my mind.

Yesterday I meal prepped 15 vegan burritos, now I have healthy dinner for the next 2 weeks in my freezer. I've been doing this for the past few months and it's an insane life hack. Highly recommended

If anybody else wants to be added to the roll call, just let me know

I'm still grinding through Cyberpunk out of sheer sunk cost fallacy. I'm currently 14 hours in.

It's not a good open world game since the open world is not very engaging. It's not a good RPG game since most of the choices don't feel meaningful. It's not a good FPS game since the enemies are bullet sponges.

They should have called this game Yapping Simulator 2077. And the yapping isn't even that good

Actually I'm gonna disengage now

Have a good one

Fair enough, but if you have zero ideas to offer then don't be so quick to criticize other people's advice. Our comrade asked for advice and I provided a free resource that's proven to work. It's also suited for people who are starting from zero since it very gradually increases the amount of effort that you need to invest.

Good, useful advice would be something someone can do immediately and that pays off immediately.

This sounds great, can you give some examples? A magical cure for depression that requires zero effort and works immediately would make you a lot of money, you should patent it.

If by "chemical options" you mean antidepressants, they do jack shit in my personal experience, having tried them. And they consistently fail to do better than placebo in most studies.

You don't have to explain depression to me, I have been clinically depressed for years. In the end I managed to pull myself out of it with enormous amounts of effort and discomfort.

The catch 22 of depression is that you need energy and motivation to get better, but you don't have the energy and motivation since you're depressed. In the absence of systemic solutions, your only option is either to be slightly more uncomfortable or give up. I decided to be more uncomfortable because it was better than the alternative. That's not ableist, that's the reality of living in hellworld.

What's the alternative though? We know that systemic issues can only be resolved by systemic solutions but those aren't coming any time soon. If your only remaining choice is to either push through for 2 weeks or give up at the first sign of discomfort, then it's obvious which one I would choose. What is your advice for the comrade who asked the question?

You left out the rest of my sentence though. Most of the time, you should listen to your body and treat yourself with self-compassion. But if you're starting from zero, everything is gonna feel like shit for the first few weeks until you get the hang of it.

There is no point in waiting for motivation or energy, that day might never come. Every time you begin to climb out of a rut is gonna be hard, so you might as well just force yourself and push through those first few weeks.

My advice is to install a free Couch to 5k running app and just follow the program. It's a running program that very gradually trains you from zero to be able to run for 5 kilometers. It's gonna give you the structure and dopamine required to tackle all other goals. You are already existing in this dogshit world, which is hard. This means that you can do hard things.

That's cool, I heard about Anki but never used it. I didn't know you can import decks. I'll try it out!
