Questions about exercise and limited mobility

I’ve got a wedding to prepare for in a few months, and, let’s not gild any lilies, I’ve gotten pretty fat since I injured my right knee and hip and lost a lot of mobility. I get around with a cane most days, and running/jogging (which I used to do a lot of) is now no longer possible (although I can use an eliptical)....

If what you want is weight loss, you don’t need to overcomplicate things—all you need is to eat fewer calories, and if you want to do exercise, do cardio. Sounds like the elliptical is going to be your friend.

Muscle building is great, but I say this as someone who enjoys bodybuilding: If you try to build muscle at the same time as you lose weight, you’re going to be so hungry that it’s going to impede your efforts to eat less. I’m all for folks doing strength training once they’re not as invested in fat loss, though.

Good luck!!

Should I de-transition so liberals don't see me and say maybe the republicans are on to something (pricefield.org)

So I look very ugly and honestly don’t look feminine at all and just look like a guy with girls’ clothes draped over him. I have been on HRT for a year and 6 months, I went from 4 to 6mg in April and I still look pretty terrible, I am not sure what I can do differently and I feel like maybe I am overweight which ruined my...

You look like a woman to me. I wish you’d be easier on yourself. 😔

Ocean acidification is going to do all sorts of weird things to animals’ sensory perception. (hakaimagazine.com)

Acidification threatens to deprive a variety of marine species of crucial chemical cues. Research into this phenomenon is still limited, but as the field develops, the scope of the potential consequences is growing clearer.

What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?

I think the most common answer is going to be Tears of the Kingdom, and that is one for me that stands out for sure, but I will try to add some more unique inputs as well. Many are games that came out longer than a year ago, but i didnt get around to playing until more recently....

I haven’t seen it mentioned, so I’ll say The Last Campfire. Cozy, cute, a bit challenging, and the story was worth it.

Help me help a coworker not be an incel?

Personal background: I strongly feel just about everyone grows up and has something shitty about them. I know growing up I definitely thought and said some less-than-ideal jokes about women, minorities, etc. And while some of that was the proverbial ‘the times’, and some was growing up in a sheltered hyper Christian southern...

This is such a lovely question. Thank you for being you.

I’d say that it would be important to talk positively about the women you know. If you have a female SO, for example, tell him how smart and curious and funny she is. Make a point to be open about the respect you feel for the contributions of your female co-workers. Tell him stories about when girlfriends were clever, and so on.

This is a good point.

The first thing that came to mind, oddly enough, was Blockbuster refusing to buy Netflix for the equivalent of a rat and a string to swing it with.

Ooooo, this is a good question!

I think mine would be wasabi (or horseradish, depending on how much you are spending). So delightful.

Hey, I think it’s fine to cut yourself some slack on this issue. :-)

You like what you like, and if you’re going to commit resources and time to another being over 18 years or so, I think it’s fine to enjoy the way it looks! I for example love gray cats, but only because of a positive association I have with a previous pet. Are all gray cats as loving as he was? I’m sure not, but I still have such positive thoughts in my head about the grey babies.

If forced to choose, I’d give up flying. As I’m scared of it anyway, that makes the most sense. :)

That said, I think that if we all just did less of those things, it would be good too. Take more vacations near home. Eat meat only a few times a week. That sort of thing.

It’s the day when we’ve collectively used as many resources as the earth can produce in one year. This year, it was August 2.

I fail to see how this isn’t the apocalypse.

Sometimes I think you don’t need AI to replace me. Just a GIF of Roy from The IT Crowd saying, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

Nintendo Insider Says Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is "Absolutely Decimating Testers" (comicbook.com)

According to a well known Nintendo insider, Super Mario. Bros. Wonder on Nintendo Switch is "hard" and "absolutely decimating testers." The report comes the way of Zippo, who notes that "if you think this game is going to be a walk in the park, then you're in for a rude awakening."

The Japanese one, believe it or not. I was a very lonely child and spent a lot of time perfecting that game.
