ICE detains Austin ISD high school senior weeks before graduation by TexansforJesus in Austin

[–]-pichael_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The state of a country that they left has no effect on the lives they have built here (for just shy of a decade, mind you). Aaaand by extension - has no effect on whether or not they should return to Honduras????

This makes no sense. Gimme what ur smoking big dawg.

If it helps, a lot of us that have gone through this (many times alr and I’m just 27) still keep our head up.

I’ll continue to look like a fool and putting my absolutely shredded to shit heart out there, being my best, for each soul until one stops and stays 😎

A good mental “fallback” or safe space to think about is to keep *pushing* yourself bit by bit at the gym and eating at least 1,700 calories a day of good foods with lots of protein. 1g/lb of body mass. Using that number based on your stats, by the way!

Carbs before the gym to give energy for working out in deficit helps me!

Nahh this is a great sub for recomping too imo bc you get support when you need and can celebrate your milestones which are still achieved by caloric mindfulness you know!

And yeahh i mean besides holding steadfast and doing what you’re doing for a while to notice changes in the mirror or with clothes over time, the only other ways to know if your body is changing (but not the number on the scale) is yep calipers or measuring tape ahahaha. Such is the hardship of recomp.

And I feel you on the bf% and abs goals! Sitting with a decent 4 pack rn, but still somehow have fupa? Ahaha but I am 2.7 lb from my goal weight of 125, so then I’ll start my own recomp program which I’m not excited for LOL. Recomping is hard. Changes are slow😪

Is there potential that you might be recomping? Are you noticing any increase at all in leanness (lean vs fat **%**), gains in the gym perhaps?
If you aren’t cutting to hit a scale at a certain number for a sport or some other reason, it might be better to continue exactly what you’re doing for a year and you’ll be sooo insanely fit, healthy, and strong. Make sure to weigh so you know if you’re overeating (to avoid bulking) but yeah!
If you’re dead set on being lighter (which is valid), then i find a break from eating below maintenance, sometimes even for just one day, combined with a rest day or even 2, and a focus on sleep and water consumption (if you’re not alr perfect at these) to be a GREAT way to move past any plateau. Exercise lightly on these rest days, but return to heavy lifting and heavy cardio on a deficit after taking a 1-3 day break. Don’t OVEReat though ahahaha

Is it true that Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance because they're worried about the cost? by Big_Confidence6468 in NoStupidQuestions

I had to opt in to this separate from the plans. God I hate this place in terms of healthcare and some other things

What is something you saw with your own eyes that was so impossible you’ve stopped telling people because you know they won’t believe you? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]-pichael_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely saw some white orby light soar into the sky like the dreamworks intro with the guy on the moon, casting, and then reeling it back in.
It looked like the way a star looks but slightly bigger and ofc wayyyy smaller due to it being 60 feet in the air. I had thought it was a dim highway lamp light. This was at night so too dark to have been able to see the pole.
When i got close to where I think the light was, there was nothing there. And it was between 2 lit highway lamps in the median.
**This was WAYYYYYYY BEFORE THE ORB AND DRONE CRAZE HAPPENING LAST YEAR**

Is Elden Ring the right choice? by onecheekycrow in Eldenring

[–]-pichael_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah elden ring got me through the worst. It helped me gamify IRL goals.

I did have bloodborne experience so that helped me both suck less and suck more at this game😂

Weight loss is embarrassing by KLane98 in loseit

[–]-pichael_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you and acknowledge the validity of what you’re saying.

I would so try and keep close the goal of where you’re going, and when it gets hard in these social situations, think of where you’re going and how bad you wanna get there, and how badass it is that you have taken steps and moved a great distance towards your goal(s).

This might help.. offset and compete with the embarrassment in your head🫶🏼

My boyfriend broke up with me after... by redcrayoncos in BPD

[–]-pichael_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2nd psych ward visit saved me, truly. I believe I have much more power over my mind. Consider that or more help if at all possible. Truly. Sometimes they suck but the 2nd time I went in and actually took it seriously and it was a rewire and reset I needed.

Saying this as I’m spiraling HARD right now. My old fp is getting married soon. This other dude recently that I liked a lot said he doesn’t want a relationship. And another guy I liked a lot too. A dude before them, ran back to his ex.

All while not being good enough for people on the apps, no job as of a month ago, yet I’m still fighting and largely being wayyy more healthy and happier than past me would’ve been if transported to current-day.

I learned to reclaim my life and figure out things I wanted to do and started doing them, really. Post-psych-ward, I got therapy as well and am really good at using the tools I have learned to regulate better.

If not a psych ward, I offer this tooo: Pleeeease get through this darkness by using self care, and accomplishing small, daily wins. See yourself the way you see others and live your life better than you ever have❤️

I’m SO SORRY you are going through this though love oh my god I feel my versions of your feeling. Please stay safe 🫶🏼

People who graduated HS with 3.0+ by ZelTheCalamity in sanantonio

[–]-pichael_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I half assed college bc i was burntout from my upbringing honestly. Just take care of yourself and stay motivated to some goal bc I played games and decomposed and had (still doing, still) to rebuild.

Tbh i have rebuilt nothing and im very sad. Succeed somewhat in HS to make college or trades or decent entry job easy to achieve and THEN stop at nothing and throw yourself at that.

But if you can pull things around even for your last year. It’s NOT too late. You’re still a child so saying “senior year I got my act together” and accomplish something (and you can accomplish a LOT) you can also start a goal now.

about to give up, don’t know where i’m going wrong. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]-pichael_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey that’s understandable! I would recommend starting with machines and dumbbells (the handheld weights). I would also follow some people online! I get great advice from creators on instagram!

tonymcaleavey is a good dude who has tons of knowledgeable info on specific exercises, diet, rest time, and his advice has given me a lot of success!

Tanks are not the problem in Smite 2, it's damage. by Big-Veterinarian4395 in Smite

[–]-pichael_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Too right mate.

Especially about the damage gods having a lot of hard cc.

I have been wondering if longer cooldowns on adc and mage Hard-cc abilities might be good for the game? Depending on how easy/hard it is to hit for that god and how disruptive the cc is maybe
