I haven’t found any mexican restaurants in Belgium. Just none. There is a taqueria where I live but it does not scream authentic at all.

As a kid I lived in Thailand and there was an excellent restaurant there with super yummy food - think not sure it was authentic.

Making Mexican food yourself is also tricky as the ingredients (dried chillis) are not easy to find.

Missed opportunity to have the dancers have alternating skin colour and add some interesting patterns to the dance.

I am all for this, eating insects is done in many cultures and a healthy source of nutrition. We westerners may see it as something intimidating at first, because we so squirmish about bugs, but I am honestly curious about the taste.

That being said, I don’t know why we need more nutritious flour. We are not lacking protein in our diets. Even vegans and vegetarians easily hit the minimum protein intake by consuming plant based protein…

Luckily my gym has weights in both measurement systems. ୧⁠(⁠＾⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠＾⁠)⁠୨

Perhaps try to complement your animal protein with plant proteins. Quinoa, edamame, lentils, beans… Some vegetables have a surprisingly high protein value.

Watch out tho, many fake meat products are quite high in fat.

“No” is a very powerfull word.

If you are a minor and didn’t have a choice, I sincerely sympathize with your fate.

Yes! You are posting in one…

Subreddits are called “Communities” on Lemmy. You can “Join” a community (as long as your instance is federated with the instance hosting that community), and it will be like “subscribing” to the community.

On the right hand side of your “homepage” you will see the communities you are subscribed to under “Subscribed to communities”.

On said homepage you can also choose to filter content on “Subscribed” / “Local” / “All” which translates to “only the communities I joined” / “only the communities hosted on this instance” / “everyyyything”.

Hope this helps… Others have likely explained it better than myself.

Oh I really like the first one! It’s simple enough it wouldn’t look weird when made into a small logo.

Very nice.

You may not like my answer but here goes: Time will tell.

Those who have jumped ship indefinitely will build a community here in the Fediverse. Those who miss Reddit too much will return there and use the official app.

By staying you are building something new. It may not be Reddit, and it may never be Reddit. But there are still millions of users who are here to stay and will become a community.

I hope it will not become a “they” vs “us” thing. Both platforms can exist peacefully, the same way Facebook and Twitter coexist.

Perhaps a difference in content style or format will appear in time, which will make people choose one platform over the other. But that’s not bad. Competition is healthy.

I’m staying, and I’m curious to see where Lemmy is going. All I can do is contribute to making it a place I want to hang out in.

What can I say? I love food.

Da, Comrad.

I may have broken a rule without thinking … Sorry. Reposting old memes from reddits dndmemes isn’t allowed according to the rules in the sidebar? I was trying to create content to browse, to get the ball rolling. Should I remove my posts?

You are doing great just by accepting the fact you need to lose weight and putting honest effort into it. Baby steps… don’t go from zero to hero (~insert the song from Hercules here~).

I personally don’t do calorie counting, but give myself objectives. My current objective is to eat more green vegetables, and lean protein (chicken, egg whites, white fish…) three times per week. Just three times. I put a littlke circle in my agenda when it worked, and can pat myself on the back when I succeed at the end of the week.

I also plan my cheat days ahead of time. If I know I am going to have a cheat day (like this Saturday, when I will be attending a wedding), I put it in the calendar. When I am tempted to order food, or make something fatty, I check the calendar to see if my “alotted cheat meal” has already been claimed for the week.

The single hardest thing to do, for me at least, is listen to your body. Are you actually still hungry when you are going back for seconds? Thirds? Or do you crave the food, the pleasure of the tasty flavors, the reassurance of a tummy well filled (stuffed, really)? I try to use smaller plates too, to force myself to eat smaller portions, and make that evaluation when I empty my first plate: am I still hungry, truly hungry?

Be gracious with yourself. Chances are, you built the “bad” habits over years and years of mindless behavior with food. Now you need to dedicate years and years building mindfull ones.

Anyway… there’s my two cents of wisdom. Good luck!

I like the top one best, but feel like we are missing out on some blue for the “world” concept. Would it be horrible if you were to make the green a gradient green-to-blue?

Baby Voldemort?

Thanks!

It didn’t work for me until I created an account. Once I confirmed my account via the email link, it took me to the page to donate to mastodon.world directly.
