Super General Advice (the thread for advice without making a thread)

Does anyone know how to set the defaults on Android's photo share function? Because I have to keep it logged into my work email for the notifications, but usually if I'm sending someone a picture it's a game screenshot, and it's driving me up the wall, because there's always 2-3 rows of "person you texted recently" and "person you emailed once in 2013" at the top when I nearly always want Discord. I keep being afraid I'm going to accidentally text a Pokemon Go screenshot to my boss or something.

 

Spoiler: diet related

I'm really hungry even though I haven't eaten less or exercised significantly more than usual today. Is this normal? Is this the past couple weeks of small changes catching up with me?

 

Every time I tried to exercise I got super hungry after a couple days, esp for protein; I think it's a thing with muscle building.

 

Spoiler: diet related

Yeah, meat cravings happened, so that would make sense. That's probably not gonna help my weight so I guess it's time to stock up on lentils.
(I probably don't need to spoiler these but I know a lot of people here have eating disorders, body image issues, or eating-related medical problems, and I don't wanna cause upset.)

 

I frequently confuse thirst and hunger, could it be that?

 

No, pretty certain this is hunger.

 

okay, I know not everyone has that problem.

seconding @witchknights when i started biking a lot I started to get hungry much more often, especially for protein.

 

I used to make an omelette with a ton of diced bellpeppers, a couple olives and an egg when I got protein cravings, it's more volume of food with calories only really coming from the egg. If you're really watching calories, maybe substitute something like that for a serving of carb? Like is eat that instead of having toast or something

 

if the management emails you to come in to discuss details about the job offer that's a good thing right?? my Anxiety Gremlin Brain just spiked all the way to hell and back but it's probably a good thing???

 

Sounds good to me, yes.

 

Yeah, that's definitely a good sign. If they didn't like your application they'd just say no.

 

I tried raw mushrooms today, and the taste isn't too bad but the spongy texture is kind of creepy somehow and putting me off. Is it worth the effort to cook it a few different ways or do they stay spongy?

 

The sponginess goes away real quick when you cook them. If you want to cook just mushrooms all by themselves, I suggest sauteing them, but there's a lot of stuff you can throw them in if you're so inclined.

 

Sautéed mushrooms and peas with garlic is of the gods

 

That's useful, thanks! I usually hate cooked vegetables (texture thing again) so I thought I should try it raw first, but technically mushroom's not a vegetable so yeah.

 

^This is why you'll sometimes see fancy burger places offering grilled portobello mushroom sandwiches as a vegetarian option.

 

Tried them grilled, taste is fine but I think I did it wrong because the texture went rubbery :( Will try sauteing.

 

You might also like them breaded. Breaded portabellas are like. Biting through pasta almost?
