Sorry · 8:20am Sep 2nd, 2015
Been in a weird mood this past week, and I mean fucking weird. Usurper's been helping me with it, JBL is busy being a responsible adult and helping Trinidad & Tobago run a free and fair election season.
But thats basically why there's been a bit of a drought of Bad Mondays updates while I try to figure shit out, my birthday break from work help ease off the work stress but kinda unleashed the floodgates for some psychotic nonsense that's been building away in the back of my head that I'd really rather not talk about. Although suffice it to say, bingeing on Creepypasta videos, stories and creepy vids on youtube for a full week likely didn't do anything to help my mood or mindset, (great inspiration for another project I'm on but its seemed to completely kill my creative drive, no more creepy for me for a while)
I'm also helping Rust with that collab thing we just started on, (dont worry man I'll get back to it today when I get some spare time at work, I really want to write more than that hose scene), which is a fun nonsensical distraction, I must admit. The guy is a blast to work with. That and I still have his present in the works but don't tell him about that shhh
Not gonna lie, I think I'm hitting burnout but I'm taking steps to recover and avoid it, hopefully I can avoid it this time. The last thing anyone wants is yet another three month unannounced hiatus of Bad Mondays because I caught a case of the dieds.
Now onto happier things in the meantime;
Always best to catch a burnout before it hits full on. And it's good to know you've managed to come back from one before.
Now, if you'll excuse me. I need to stare at that pony for the next two hours.
3364313 Handyman is writing right now, actually. It's coming along nicely.
As for the pony...
Derpibooru -> oc:celery
You're welcome.
Ice Pone?
3364317 nein, see

3364313 If you were here before Christmas, the last hiatus happened just before Christmas and was broken sometime in February with the Shortbeak chapter.
3364317 Thanks in both cases.
3364332 If memory serves, this story was in my read later list a short time before Christmas, and that Shorbeak chapter bumping it to the front page is what made me get around to reading it.
I READ THESE THINGS Y'KNOW
3364457 WELL TOO BAD, YOU'RE STILL NOT FINDING OUT TILL ITS READY AND/OR I'M DRUNK
3364503 Had a lot of trouble sleeping recently, but thats down mostly to humidity, heat and the fact I try to spend every waking moment not spent at work staring at a monitor spent staring at a monitor thats playing video games. (I live in Ireland, used to hot weather at night we most certainly are not)
As for diversification, most of my diet consists of meats (red meat including beef and such, pork, chicken and fish, i'm pretty fucking carnivorous), potatoes (in many forms from steamed potatoes to chips cooked in a deep fat fryer) and various vegtables. Liquids I drink plenty of milk and water as well as tea (not a big coffee drinker, I defy my office worker stereotope), although I tend not to drink fruits, not even fizzy drinks. I don't drink much alcohol either if that means anything.
Also bread.
I eat shitertons of bread, mostly wheaten bread, usually with soups.
My diet is pretty Irish all things considered.
3364512 From what types of blood you are it really depends. I don't know the specifics but read meats and milk is really recommended for O- blood types and such. With a few fruits they are really what you should aim for, for these blood descendants. I'm O-, warm blooded, and hunting decedent; I like to eat red meat.
I don't know the exact details behind it but consumption of certain foods can hinder the health of persons depending on their blood type. Do you know your blood type and potential ancestry?
Broccoli, beans, and pineapple juice best serves the vegetable nutrition of an O- in the long run. Your ideal diet might help your psychology but you have to be sure that your nutritional motivation serves to push you in that personal direction. I haven't done the full study and it's up to you to research the best diet for your health but it matters a lot to how you think and make decisions.
Good luck, man.
3364632 Patient? I'm not a doctor, and my information was second-hand from a dietitian. I'd hate to be responsible for utterly ruining someone's health, so none of my information is to be taken personally until you're sure it applies to you.
Take your time, we can wait. :)
Well, I'm not a doctor, but I've heard not dying is good for your health. Also, although I can't confirm this as I haven't tried it much myself, I've heard sleep is good.
3365086 You are most certainly right. I just wasn't feeling it at the time and situation. Sorry about that mate.

I'm the most irreverent person here, and even I couldn't discern what was intended to be "humor" here. So let's cut the guy some slack. Also...making people shift from a high-protein diet in order to adapt to a hotter more humid climate ain't that great an idea. It's not a dietary issue, so much as it is simply a physiological adjustment to a different climate. Humans of different ethnic groups are often better adapted to different climates, so it'll take some time for the guy to adjust. Changing his diet won't help that, especially if he's still experiencing jet lag. It can take months for a person to adjust properly. The last thing you want to do is make drastic changes to a relatively healthy diet, as it can directly effect muscle/bone maintenance, metabolism, and B12 levels. Yeah...the guy might sleep better for a while due to the lighter diet, but it'll fuck him in the ass in the long run. Especially if he's athletic.
Another Hiatus?
Nah, only kidding. Take your time man and get better. It's better to wait for something than burn out.

The Irish diet is actually quite ideal for one consistently exercising, so long as proper portions of fruit are being included. The Irish get the ideal amount of vitamin D as the world's heaviest milk drinkers. However, alcoholism and sedentary lifestyles are the cause of the aforementioned decline in heart health. This is an issue of causation vs. correlation. For example, the Nordic people's have a rather similar diet and are among some of the fittest and healthiest in the world.
Wgen thing are double weird, thats the signal that your problematic noun is physiological. It always means that, always always!
It could be neurological, caused by some random hormone imbalance. You can ask for blood tests for that.
You might be sick, but not sick; i call it "posessing of illness", when you have a disease in your system that's being fought to a standstill just below critical mass for symptoms to show. Those just suck, i usually just take tons of b-complex supplements every day until the energy from the vitamins helps counteract the noun in my system.
It could be dietary, something new or removed from your eating and drinking habits giving an odd shock to your system as it adapts, usually partnered with a hidden addictive behavior injected into the priority queue of your brain. My personal example is a sensitivity to most vegetable oils that causes a sharp but almost undetectable headache, and an automated addictive behavior to any amount of corn syrup and HFCS that really is hard to conciously mark.
Whatever the case may be, i hope you recover back to your normal state!

In order.
People who would have died of heart conditions died as a result of the war which affected the numbers....
protein Supplements....
it has nothing to do with diet, its about us having different physiology. A chimpanzee has longer muscle fibers and less grey matter in its body so every movement it makes uses its full relative strength, while humans have shorter muscle fibers and more grey matter, which makes fine movements possible, but also makes us seem relatively weak in comparison because we have a natural, unconscious inhibitor to the amount of strength we can amply to any given task. This inhibitor is why humans can use the fine movements needed to (Lets say), play a guitar while still being capable of lifting a car or bolder off themselves in times of great stress. which is called 'Hysterical strength'.
3370713 Again. Their physiology is different. Most of our protein intake goes to feed out brains, which are much larger then that of a chimpanzee, and not our muscles.
3370751 I'll hold my hands up. I had to rewrite the thing more then once. I thought I made that point the first time, I guess I over looked it.

Chimps aren't hominids. They took a different evolutionary path. Akin to powerful herbivores like elephants and buffalo who can derive the proper amino acids from plant matter. Humans lack this inherent ability to derive adequate protein from plants. Vegan weightlifters have to eat utterly OBSCENE amounts legumes and whatnot to compensate. Plant matter isn't a viable enough source for practical protein. Early humans only shifted to more veggie-like diets after the advent of agriculture. We didn't evolve that way. Before that we were hunter-gatherers where we merely supplemented our vitamin intake with plants rather rely on them as our primary source of food energy/bodily maintenance as we did with meat. Carbs/vitamins/fiber from plants. Protein from animals. Look at proto-humans and Neanderthals. There's your answer.

You can't sway me with that adorable...fucking...goddamn it. I just...want to hug it and love it forever. You fight dirty, motherfucker.

Also...another common misconception is that chimps are mechanically stronger than humans. This is simply not true. Humans can easily amass the same muscle density if not more than that of chimps with training and proper diet. Chimps, while their shorter muscle fibers are more elastic and efficient, are actually capable of strength due to the simplicity of their brains. They lack the motor control mechanisms of the human brain that prevent humans from fully exerting our skeletal muscles and maximal strength. They're basically all-or-nothing when exerting themselves, making them hysterically strong all the goddamn time. Human brains are far more complex, possessing motor neuron control that prevents us from severely hurting ourselves by overexerting. There's quite a few documented cases where average human beings have performed feats of strength out of hysteria or adrenal response where they ignored their safety mechanisms completely and used skeletal muscle. Men and women lifting cars. An Inuit woman wrestling a massive polar bear to the ground. Tearing humvee doors off the hinges while under fire from insurgents.
Even chimps can't do some of these things. This is what the berserkers of the Old Norse used in combat to annihilate their enemies. Of course...this isn't without drawbacks...by overexerting oneself...you can easily break your own bones or tear your tendons/ligaments free from said bones. In short...humans are too smart to go full-on apeshit strong 24/7 like chimps.

What even?

Ah. True. The seal picture threw me off is all.
