The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
This has nothing to do with wellness, but as a Southeast Asian, I need to urgently talk about all the war crimes Adam Ragusea committed against pad thai in this video:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=puHSU9ZaZPY
too much sugar in recipe
advocates using worcestershire sauce in pad thai
puts soy sauce in pad thai
puts ketchup in pad thai
puts ginger in pad thai
snaps rice noodles in half
boils rice noodles instead of soaking in warm water
uses what looks like extra virgin olive oil to cook everything
no tofu
puts green onions and cilantro in the dish (the only herb that goes into pad thai is garlic chives)
uses fresh chili instead of dried chili flakes
Every step is wrong. Every step. This is the first time I've come across a recipe of his I actually know something about and he fucks up everywhere.
I can't believe a certain orange-shirted YouTuber hasn't reviewed this yet, honestly.
Pad thai is my favorite thai food. That, soy sauce noodles, mango sticky rise and satay sticks. I did not like the salads at all. The orange shirt indonesian is an extremely annoying creation of modern hyper consumerism where he purity spirals about food in the cringiest way possible.
Imo thai food outside of thailand is not as good. Chinese food anywhere in the world tastes great except for china according to my dad who spent time there. But that form of food adopted well to local environments. Thai food seems harder to adopt. Thailand is very blessed to be near the equator and not facing harsh climates. You cannot get mango sticky rice 24/7 365 in most places not around the equator.
