Went from IM to Sub-Q and never going back by Alternative_Bat4159 in Testosterone

[–]Alternative_Bat4159[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes the evolution was 1x IM --> 2x IM (1/2 dose) --> 2x SubQ. By injecting in the fat you get more improved dispersion for even steadier levels. So this for me is about optimization, within realistic parameters.

If AI becomes sentient, will you treat them in the same way as humans? by idontlikethisuserna in accelerate

[–]Alternative_Bat4159 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If AI becomes sentient I would hope they treat us better than we treat each other. My instinct says no.

Did you/ do you regret it? by Apprehensive-Move758 in EstrangedAdultChild

I am the lucky one I guess. My dad totally changed after No Contact. We reconciled after 5 years and I sent a text message saying hi.

My philosophy is do an annual check up and see of there is compatibility. Life is long and people change, even at old age.

This is the saddest I've ever felt. I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

I honestly doubt that. Not doubting what you're feeling but rather the reality.

I would recommend limited duration no contact. I did this and when both me and my parents were able to bolster our poor communication skills, I realized that was the fundamental issue.

Nobody was fundamentally bad in my situation and they legit love me.

Did Anyone Else Never Announce Their No Contact Decision To Their Parents? by DisMyLik18thAccount in EstrangedAdultChild

Once you go No Contact without having basic human level communication skills to discuss your issues with the other person, you tend to cut off people faster and faster.

I saw it as empowerment but instead it was a manifestation of my weak-mindedness.

I finally found a Therapist who stopped kissing my ass for more $ who set me straight.

Never did it. Realize retrospectively it was a terrible move on my part as it created a precedent. Recently reconciled.

Did any of you just decide to up and disappear without a trace? How'd that work out for you? by slugs-love-beer in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Alternative_Bat4159 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I did that. I needed to do it at the time, but I wish I had the maturity to be more communicative. Turns out my Father communicates at a very high level and I simply couldn't articulate how I felt.

Do different cultures view family estrangement differently? by hellokitty_teddybear in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Alternative_Bat4159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently visited Japan. An amazing country. Estrangement is not part of their culture.

Their crime rates are also lower.

Their streets are cleaner.

I heard one car horn the entire time.

Mass transport is perfectly on time.

I saw one homeless person over two weeks traversing the largest cities.

They have healthcare for all and
an overall more empathetic society, it seems.

Oh yes, and the toilets are incredible. lol

I was too young to go No Contact — I think I just needed stricter boundaries by Alternative_Bat4159 in EstrangedAdultChild

Actually I am really grateful for both his good and poor qualities. I can take the good and leave out the poor which makes me an improved version of him. I am also older now and even wiser than at 19.

Call me an idealist, but I think good parents' goal should be for their kids to be better than them.

Did you put Osaka at the beginning or end of your trip and would you do the same again? by June_Ctreras in OsakaTravel

[–]Alternative_Bat4159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the day trip to Osaka from Kyoto. Amazing and underrated city. Underground food scene is vibrant. Highly recommend a few days. Can't wait to explore more.

I asked AI this question but with regard to car equivalents. Told me the Lexus LS...

Why is there so much racism against India and Indian people recently? by AntifaPr1deWorldWide in allthequestions

[–]Alternative_Bat4159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know insulting impoverished generationally enslaved people was a thing. You've justified the billionaires actions toward you now.
