I think everyone’s addicted to something, modernity is just too hard to do it ‘sober’. Tons of people on drugs, psych meds, alchohol, caffeine, vapes…..but you know the addiction nobody talks about? Not porn, everyone knows 90% of men are addicted already, box that up and set it aside. Food. I see so many people who live for food, they spend all this time looking forward to eating to the point their whole life is centered around it. Maybe my line o’ work is worse, since we can’t really tweak on anything day to day, but I quite often see thousands of dollars burned because a dude wants to stop over in a city just to get the food there. It’s ludicrous. Everyone’s fat as shit, but they’ll balk at you when you tell them your tank is still full from the 3,000 calorie gorge-fest they held for lunch. Drives me up the wall, but there are just too damn many fat people and they never acknowledge the fact they’re just as addicted to goyslop as anyone else is to their own pet vices.RT: https://gleasonator.com/objects/7f4ae294-93b0-4434-bdaa-465fa80d0b76

@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Not too sound like a broken record, but it really shows just how horrendous modern America is when the majority of adults need to be addicted to something to make it through the day

@caekislove When I used to really be whole-hog on the working out train (because that too is a high if you hit it hard enough chasing it) I used to get all kinds of “wow you need to stop doing that so much, you’re addicted. That’s bad for you!” from guys who were 110 lbs overweight. Everyone’s got a vice, the least you can do is understand it and acknowledge it if you ever want a chance at being free of it. While we’re at it, the slow taper method is the only one I’ve had luck with. Do a little less of X every day, keep track of it, and fill yourself with disgust for people who love it in order to keep yourself from backsliding. But take this all at a grain of salt because I’m not a very good person and I still have some addictions left to tackle

@DW2 @caekislove Once you see it as people chasing a high, it really makes so much more sense. People aren’t just fat because they’re lazy, they’re fat because they’re spiritually unfulfilled

@WashedOutGundamPilot @DW2 @caekislove Think about (struggle) with this a lotI eat less doing construction and walking 5-10 miles lugging heavy shit around the job site than I did sitting at my desk. Big think.

Moderation is what the Greeks preached. The Greeks were pedophiles. Be excessive.

@sparky @DW2 @caekislove there’s a cycle to it, too. The less I eat, the more energy, the more light, the better I feel, so I usually keep my tank past half-empty. But once I fill it up, I start falling back in that cycle of “eat ‘til full” and then I have to struggle with it once again. Really bad when we have trips with big per-diems, too. Been on trips where the guys have a corpo card with orders to “keep it under a thousand a day”……you find it’s almost hard to spend that much eating out in most cities. But how can you pass it up? It’s RIGHT THERE and it smells so good……..

@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Everything is packed with sugar now especially high fructose corn syrup. Its a known addictive substance. Even bread is packed with it.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove Any point where you obsess over being better than the day before, others will complain and critique because they see your effort and passion as an insult to them.

Food addiction is incomprehensible to me, just have a fast, you don't even have to do anything!

@WashedOutGundamPilot This is what the "fat people lazy" crowd doesn't understand, when you don't have a lot money for other stuff, you can't afford a lot of booze to get sloshed every day and you don't smoke (or don't anymore), you turn to the one thing that's usually readily available. Food. @caekislove @DW2

@WashedOutGundamPilot >I see so many people who live for food, they spend all this time looking forward to eating to the point their whole life is centered around it.Okay forgive me for sounding like a pretentious twat but I was born in the nation that perfected being a pretentious idiot about food, so whatever, but it's rarely fucking good food. It's never that you had really good food and a lot of it. Every time I've heard it from guys it's always about burgers, fries, or something else. It's never something like a well done steak with fresh herbs and ingredients, or a good fish dish. No it's always some low flavoured nonsense that just makes me sad. @caekislove

@flamesandwhiskey @caekislove To this day probably one of the worst things I ever saw online, unbidden. I think I opened 4chan on the toilet and it was this dude documenting his downward arc. Crazy to see every time

@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove I didnt realise how bad the opiate epidemic had gotten until I got back to the states. Half the kids at my children's school are either in jail or dead from overdose. Majority white town in the south, this wasnt how things were growing up here. It's sad to see how many kids are being raised by grandparents.

@Slappedin88 @caekislove sometimes I chuckle thinking about the opium wars, and how much they did reacting to a fraction of what we have today

@WashedOutGundamPilot @caekislove They eat food, but they don't actually cook it themselves. There's still some effort done with cooking (unless it's only from the freezer or some prepackaged meal).
