I don't know how the total time logged in counter works. I never log out, but it just says 33 days.  And I've been registered for... not quite 10 years.

It only logs days while you have a tab open.

That seems about correct, but: you must also have refreshed the page (or gone to another page) within the last 15 (or so) minutes from when you last refreshed for the total time logged in counter to increase. Leaving your PC on overnight on the same page, then refreshing does not increase the counter.

I don't think it should be called "Total time logged in", I think it's more accurate if it were called "Total time online". I've been logged in on at least one device for almost the entirety of my time here, so I should have a time of around 513 days, but instead I have a time of 243 days.

As such, it requires special plugins to reach maximum levels of online-ness, like the lofty heights attained by our resident kobold lurker.

That should be normal. "listen to your body" is the general advice I'd give there. Some people eat on schedule, to the same level, because it's part of their daily ritual. If you're not feeling at least a little hungry at meal time then that might be a sign to adjust things.

A good idea is to have options instead of set daily meals, and one of the options is the minimum amount of food. A piece of fruit and a drink for example. Then if you're properly hungry at meal time you have a meal, or if not try the small meal and see how you go. If you really need to eat more and you're not sure then eating something small like fruit should kickstart an appetite. If not, then you'll be ok. The reason for having the drink is that sometimes after eating you'll get short-lived hunger pangs and this can prompt you to overeat. It was obviously adaptive back in evolutionary time but is maladaptive now that we can have as much food as we want all the time. Having the drink fills the stomach and supresses any transient hunger pangs, while eating small amounts frequently keeps your metabolism kicking over.

Mind, listen to your body can also be goddamn terrible advice. When my grandmother does that she ends up in the hospital these days, due either to dehydration or issues with not bloody eating. Sometimes your body gives you really shitty signals.

In any case, yeah, sometimes I'll end up forgetting if I ate earlier in the day. Tends to happen when it's early/a small meal, and I take a nap or get really engaged with something. Will end up not entirely sure if I ate or not. Generally, if I really can't tell I'll first see if I'm having any issues with shaking, and then maybe nibble on something small, just to make sure I don't friggin' fall over or somethin'.

Yeah, when I could get my medicine, I wouldn't be able to tell if I was hungry or full or whatever.

More people are getting bamned as of recent. Whether that means stricter moderation or just that more people are being dicks I'm not sure about.

I know lack of appetite is super common as a side effect to meds.

I don't take any meds, but sometimes go all day without eating and won't notice until after work. I tend to not be very effected by hunger. For instance, today, it was me getting dizzy in an elevator that reminded me that I hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours and had spent a lot of energy cleaning an apartment. I think I just get caught up in things.

Wait, what? Mod log is showing all of two people given the boot this year, one four months ago. I'm not sure it'll last (see 2016 for a guess why, on this forum with a significant US population), but so far we're in line for a normal year on the banhammer front.

Especially with the kind of gut-busters Trump gushed with on his Fox News Exclusive Interview!(tm) last night. 

I could hardly do it justice, and this is the wrong thread for it anyway-- But yeah. I can honestly see a lot of people not being on here, because of INABILITY to be on here, in the proceeding years should Orange Lunatic stay in office.
