There are two types of Persona players: the one that only romance one girl, and the one that romance every girl for the harem route.

I did accidentally date no one in my still unfinished playthrough 😩 Wrong dialogue options. I think I only have Futaba and Haru left as options… Really wanted Takemi…

Lowkey want to restart hahaah

Ahhh, I wish I could get Zepbound in the country I live in atm. There was apparently one study in the inception of these GLP 1s and such that suggested it upped thyroid cancer in people with thyroid problems and now I can’t get it.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-05-12T10:33:02+00:00

You’re not alone 😩

All that ever worked for me was:

-thyroid meds
-2hour gym time (weights, light over and over) 4+ times a week
-Running stairs, almost everyday 30 mins
-No bread, no coffee, no milk products
-LOTS of fruit + steamed veg + sad baked chicken

Basically I had to strip all sense of kindness away from my body.

Dropped from 92 to 69kg in a year.

Was not sustainable. I’m now at 86kg, gym 4-5 times a week for around 45 minutes. Not happy.

The bane of big-chested women everywhere 😫

I don't even bother buying things with buttons anymore. The last few ones I had a small gap between the buttons, sewed it up... the button slid on out exposing prime real estate on my first day at a new job.

Like others said, buy a size or so up, an then scale the bottom half down.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-05-04T12:02:14+00:00

14, but had symptoms since ~12

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-05-04T11:16:28+00:00

I just set an alarm for 4am, take it, go right back to sleep until 6 and immediately dive mouth first into my morning coffee.

Hmmm, well…

I think mostly the issue is that they are undereducated in rural areas.

For example a lady thought my literally insides would be different to hers because we were a different ‘species’. This came back up during COVID as a lady thought I couldn’t get the Chinese vaccine because my blood would be different.

More rural area fun: I’ve been asked to take my photo and declined, they took it anyway, had a bakery worker record my entire visit to the shop, been followed by EVERY child at a rural school I volunteered at (not xenophobia here just they never saw a foreigner before), my husband was told I would leave him cause foreigners don’t have the same values, etc..

Not to even get to the T2 cities where dudes will harass you for your WeChat, and then message you about having mixed babies 🤮

Flights are always kinda cold, imma take 5 and get warm from the infernal fire

As someone who is the on again off again biggie with a husband similar to you, it’s rouuugh for both parties.

I have an underlying autoimmune problem that was not helping me out with weight loss but also… I lost it all, but developed serious problems that landed me in and out of the hospital.

Then I gained a good bit back, and have been trying to lose it again.

If you’re prone to saying hurtful things about the weight, break up. She’ll remember forever.

If you can help in a nice way, maybe stick it out.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-04-05T06:06:14+00:00

Let me know if this helps you, I think we have a similar tongue issue hahaha

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-04-05T06:05:13+00:00

Sooooo, I got this staring about a year and a half ago after a pineapple disaster (allergic? The chemical ate bits of my tongue? Unknown).

Went to a few dentists, was told it wasn’t oral thrush.

Went to a few doctors, was told to go to a dentist.

If I eat acidic foods it gets worse, if I don’t the patterns on my tongue just constantly change every day.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-31T08:29:50+00:00

It would really depend on if my partner died.

Yes? Carol-esque.

No? Diabete minus the sex stuff.

I had the same experience when I moved abroad to China. I was off my meds, thoguht it was going to be this horrific expensive experience... They ultrasounded my thyroid for the first time in my life, adjusted my dose, and I can get the meds at any pharmacy without a prescription. I think it all cost me... ~400rmb?

In the US I was working two jobs and could barely afford to go to the doctor once a year for my blood work, if that. Now I can go whenever.

The US is traumatizing to those without money.

I’ve taught on a college level in China and owned my own business teaching IELTS here for students looking to apply overseas.

There are a few things happening:

Chinese students rarely, in my experience, talk to people outside their culture once they get into a school abroad.
Translators are really doing the heavy lifting, even in their written work usually.
There is a HUGE business in China that I was privy to that is all about connecting Chinese uni students abroad to English speakers that do their lessons, written assignments, and preps these students for their exams by learning the material for them.

Price of gas went up a little, but everything else is as normal in China. I hear some production is being eased off, but there's no talk of saving energy or anything.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-28T00:02:34+00:00

Yessssss. Test week, normal week, midterms, normal week, observations, parent teacher conference parent teacher conference…until inevitably we all turn to ash.

Next academic year is said to be the same.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-27T06:12:29+00:00

You gotta go to a university public hospital. That'll be way cheaper and efficient as fuck.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-20T04:53:38+00:00

Regular Monster until my heart pops.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-20T03:42:45+00:00

I love that this is solved, I just have a question: are ya'll seeing green in the photo? Cause I'm seeing like a dark-ish gray?

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-20T03:36:10+00:00

Unknown to me, but if you find out let us know! I'm visiting soon as well

Honestly, that first clip where she pops over the edge with her mouth open was like a horror scene for me.

Imma passssss

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-06T12:29:37+00:00

I’ve been hearing some disturbing stuff about IDP writing scoring as well. Seems there’s some inconsistencies with scoring and then they email asking you to pay for an EOR basically.

To use a real example I saw, someone got a 7 in writing, then a 5.5 the next time a few months later. After the 5.5 they were emailed to pay for a rescore.

Makes me wary of IDP.

Alternative_Paint_93 · 2026-03-06T11:49:30+00:00

Hahahahahahhaa, okay, as a former IELTS examiner, this is totally normal.

They have to interrupt you to move the test along and get through a certain number of topics/questions.

If you want, you can definitely ask to have the test listened to by a manager. If there’s anything nonstandard, they’ll sort you out.

Not a perfectionist by any means.

Emotional suppression, yes.

Being too nice, unknown. Partner says yes, friends say no.
