  • I just finished maintaining a calorie deficit for about 8 months and losing a little over 50 lbs, so here’s a few things I can think of:

    • when you make food, you’ll probably eat it all, so keep that in mind when you’re making it. Or, box some of it up for later and put it in the fridge before you start eating.
    • don’t keep much or any snack food around the house.
    • or, keeping a few small sweet snacks around can be good for handling it when your sweet tooth is bugging you. I kept fudgsicles in the freezer (40 calories) and sparkling flavored water (5 calories) for when I wanted something sweet.
    • working out 6 days a week was what I needed to make a habit out of it. I’d done 4 or 5 days a week in the past, but when I started doing 6 per week it only took like a month before I started feeling uncomfortable about not working out on my break day.
    • For keeping it off, I’m gonna try to keep on counting calories for a year but just setting my app to maintaining my weight. Meeting that calorie goal is super easy compared to what I was doing.














  • I’m no expert, but I would think that altering evidence is a huge risk.

    • If you want the changes done by experts, so they’re harder to identify, you have to let the experts in on what you’re doing. That means more potential leakers.
    • If you make any changes that contradict the physical evidence, you’ve outed yourself.
    • The changes you make can be credibly contradicted by people who have seen the unedited versions.
    • You might have to change a lot of stuff, especially if your boy was very close to the sex trafficker in question.

    If you get caught, you’ve just made the problem 100x worse, as a lot of people are just going to assume your guilt as soon as they hear you’ve tampered with the evidence.


  • People can be both, but generally it seems like MAGAs are more conservative-in-name-only while being genuinely and deeply reactionary. They will tell you they want smaller government (conservative) but then if you get into specific issues they’re happy to list all the things government should do, even if that makes it bigger, like tightly controlling borders and voting. However, a lot of them sincerely believe there are getting to be too many non-whites in their country (reactionary) and that anyone who’s poor deserves to be. Unless it’s them, of course; they’re just down on their luck.
