A	What's the best way to run to lose weight? Should I focus on improving my time or increasing my distance? And how should I go about doing either method? Is there another way than just simply pushing myself a little harder each time?
B	What I've found is that it takes a long time to work up a good running program. The best way to lose weight is to control what you eat and to control how many calories you burn. To change the way you eat requires cutting things from your diet. Cutting things on your diet can be incredibly challenging at first but it really comes with time.
It takes several weeks to get used to the new eating habits and to continue eating healthily and exercising.
If you follow a running training program that makes it fun you will want to continue running because of all the good things that come from it. Along with not being overweight (not that that is important to everyone but getting there) I would like to be able to do a half marathon. I don't get to run that much each week but I've found it's a lot easier to run in the cold than in the summer months.
I will say that running helps me with my depression and it's made a big difference in my life in terms of general fitness. If you have nothing else to lose it could really help.
A	That's some solid advice, I've definitely known I need to eat less. It's hard to think of actually budgeting my food sometimes though so I'll keep working at it.
B	For me it's easier to eat under my calories instead of eating an extra 1000. Especially when I'm working on weight loss so my energy levels are a little lower.

A	Which club's transfer window are you most excited about except RM? I'm honestly really curious on how Bayern are gonna do after Lucas Hernandez and Pavard. Is there any rumor about them buying somebody?
B	Atleast 2 wingers.Sané maybe, but i don't think that City would let him leave anytime soon. Pété seems likely, CHO has been rumoured and discussed a lot but due to his very unfortunate injury we won't be approaching him this transfer window.Werner is very likely joining us too and its like an "open" secret at this point. de Ligt has been rumoured a lot but i think that despite the fact that Barcelona already has insane CB Depth, he will end up there.A
Brandt? I remember him having an insanely low buy out clause
B	Brandt is totally out of the question. No way he is going to benched for Robben.Veratti is likely not going to leave aswell. I also think that we won't be buying another Ucl player this winter.A
Say you could choose one to be signed: Werner, Sané, CHO, Brandt?
B	This is really tough because i love all of them and they all have their own personality/playstyle.Werner is going to be my favorite, maybe because i'm from Germany so this will be a good way for me to support theres local talent.I love Sané's self confidence, even though he doesn't really fit us at the moment. With Gnabry, Coman and CHO on the wings it would be hard for him to be more than a rotational player.CHO seems to be a good player and i would love to see him in Bayern's Shirt but i feel like he will most likely join City this winter.Brandt is a great player but i fear that he will never displace Robben/Ribery because he doesn't get involved in build up play and he doesn't get into the box which is what we need most on the wings.I guess I'm going to have to choose between a very good winger that will add a lot to the team and one that will stay put or one who will come in and destroy our team chemistry.I'm torn between the two.

A	If it doesn’t appeal to you then don’t upgrade. It’s subjective and there is nothing to discuss.
B	Surely all social media platforms are full of subjective posts, hence their popularity? I was looking for people in a similar “dilemma” or those that might be able to convince me one way or another, perhaps even expand on a particular aspect of what I posted. If you don’t want to contribute an opinion on iPhones then..................you know..................don’t
:D
A	Probably why I’m not interested in social media. I don’t have a similar dilemma because I don’t find the new iPhone expensive for something I can use everyday for at least 2 years. I have an iPhone X since it came out, I’ll probably get the new iPhone this year for bigger RAM and that’s it.
B	Fair comment :) Personally I feel the XS is over priced, for what its got, I’m more than happy with what I got with my SE, I wonder what their update cycle will be as time goes on, surely there will be another notch to fill soon. I mean, just last year they released a smaller iPhone, and this year they’ve added an even more expensive version, I mean, I guess if you can afford it, go ahead, but I personally feel you’ve got them hook, line, sinker.
A	Yeah, the SE is great. I don’t need the fastest phone, and I didn’t get my X for the camera but the wide color gamut, better haptic touch than any competitor, slightly better display, and RAM and storage upgrades. The OS is still just as smooth as ever.
B	Interesting, I kind of thought that the iPhone X had better brightness (as in almost “daylight” for those of us that struggle to see sometimes!) I appreciate your view!

A	Hi, how hard is it to finish up a T2 set? I am debating between hunter (primarily for the armor set) vs druid (for gameplay) but I don’t want to roll a hunter and spend all that time to find out T2 full set is not easily achievable. I’ve never played vanilla before.
B	It’s the same for Druid. All T2 pieces drop off the same bosses. Hunters are pretty hard though and you’d be expected to kite in the razorgore fight and tranq two other boss fights. But other than that, just do your bow rotation and pump out the best damage you can.
A	I guess my question was more “is it easier for hunters to get into the raid” since I wouldn’t really care at the pace I go for druid gear but I’d want the T2 set for hunter as soon as possible, but I think that answered my question regardless, thanks!
B	Hunters are obviously the fastest at getting to T2! Some may even be able to get their full set by doing pit of Saron and razorgore. That’s assuming you have people who want to beat as many bosses as possible and don’t just rush everything.
A	Oof I’m a noob in terms of raid pacing. Yeah I probably don’t have a group that will be able to make it there as soon as possible, but I’ll consider it. Thanks!
B	No problem! Hope to see you killing zul if I see you raiding! (Totally not stalking your guild lmao)

A	Putting aside the fact that this “study” is surely unreliable self-serving garbage, our respective understandings of what can be considered a “demonstrable fact” are wildly different.
B	It’s only one experiment. When you add up all the litany of s identific evidence, the conclusion is clear and unequivocal.
A	“The conclusion is clear and unequivocal.” If you say so.
B	Provide your evidence that shows otherwise.
A	You want me to prove a negative? Sure, as soon as you provide evidence that God doesn’t exist. (and according to your line of thinking, if you cant provide evidence that he doesn’t exist, then he unequivocally does exist).
B	You claim it doesn’t exist. Provide ypur evidence.
A	You need to be smarter. Read my last comment and try again.
B	Lol, you provided no evidence to counter anything I said. You’re literally just saying your point is right because you said so.
A	Dude I gave you an entire anti-theist argument.
B	That didn’t prove your point at all.

A Bulgaria has a  $10\%$  flat income tax. What does this show?
B It shows the income tax you pay in addition to the income tax your employer takes from your salary as well.
A But there is no such thing here, it is  $10\%$  and that's all. That data probably includes all the payments (income tax+health insurance+social payments) taken from your salary, which is another thing.
B Social security, pension and health insurance is another  $15 - 20\%$
That is all considered income tax.
A No, it is not. It might be where you live. Here it is not even considered tax, let alone income tax. A tax is something you pay to the state and get nothing in return directly, it is used to keep the state running. You get services for your social payments, so they are not "taxes".
Source: I have a law degree
B Congrats on the law degree.
Those are still considered taxes worldwide.
A Even if they are that doesn't make the "income taxes" though. Health insurance for example is owed even if you are unemployed, how is that income tax?
B Well most employers still charge their employees the  $15\%$  premium for health insurance or even higher. Your employer deducts  $15\%$  of the salary that isn't declared as income by the employee.
A Again, how is that income tax, but just a deduction.
B Why would it not be considered income tax?
