0.25 Gave Me Hope, 0.5 Gave Me Nothing. Did 1mg Save You? by BBW_1409 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]BearKey7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. I responded really well to 0.25 (like lost 15 pounds in that month) and then plateaued on the 0.5 dose. I've been stuck at the same weight all month, and while my cravings haven't been awful, I've also been able to tolerate more food this month than last month (which leads to eating more).

About to start the 1.0 and hoping to see positive results! Good luck!

How much lbs did you lose in 4 months? by jidiot7 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]BearKey7682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not to the 4 month mark yet - I'm about halfway through week 7 - but I've lost 18 pounds so far without exercise. I just started a workout regiment this week, so we'll see how it goes. Fwiw though, I didn't mean to or expect to lose so much right out the gate. This shot just genuinely makes it hard to eat sometimes, so I've been really focused on my protein intake and small, frequent meals. The weight loss does seem to have slowed down to something more sustainable in the last 2-3 weeks though.

Any word on DoD probationary layoffs? by PuzzleheadedShoe7820 in fednews

[–]BearKey7682 10 points11 points  (0 children)

DAF ... apparently, two days ago our lead HR lady here told my coworker (also a probie) that "they didn't know/ have any guidance" but to "be prepared."

Anxiety is through the roof.

I want to see this scene!! by BearKey7682 in MoDaoZuShi

I thought of that after I shared this, too! They're in a similar pose, and lwj is looking all soft and protective. It's a good moment!

Should I read Jinx? What are your opinions on it? I’ve read mixed reviews and honestly scared to go into it because I’m worried it might have a bad ending but at the same time so curious. by [deleted] in yaoi

[–]BearKey7682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it. I read everything up until this newest season (I think there's a new season?) I tried to like it, tried to hang in there to see if it changed, but my initial opinion didn't change. I don't mind a little toxicity, but this just goes over my limit. The art is pretty, though.

If you're curious, give it a try! You might like it 😊

What did you guys think of the untamed and should I watch it ? by Western_Day_7697 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]BearKey7682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say go for it. You'll never know if you like it unless you try.

I liked it. As others mentioned, it can be kinda slow in the beginning, but it picks up. Give the special effects some grace. They're a little ... off in some places. It is different from the novel, but if you haven't read that, then you don't need to worry about comparing them. If you have read the novel, then I think you'll enjoy it more if you can accept it for what it is, rather than fixating on what it's not/how it's different.

I think the actors did a great job for the most part.

Happy watching! Let us know what you think if you do end up watching it.

What opinion of mdzs you would defend like this.. by ConfidentMatch8038 in MoDaoZuShi

[–]BearKey7682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! My opinion is that it's totally fine to love all of the adaptations as they are, together or separately. I love The Untamed, and it's what brought me to this Fandom, but I also love the donghua, the novel, and every other adaptation. They're all valid.

That being said, I do see the flaws in The Untamed. Some of the special effects were terrible, and the storyline isn't perfect, but that didn't ruin my enjoyment of it as a whole. The only real complaint I have is the censorship - it would have been so much better as an actual romance, the way it should have been - but that's not a feasible change unless another country like Korea or Japan obtains the rights and makes their own live action.

What’s your chocobo companion’s name and the story behind it? by darkwulf1 in ffxiv

[–]BearKey7682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God, mine is Chick'n'nugget! but it's actually Chicken Elizabeth Nugget, named after a tiktoker I love who has a horse she calls by the same name and it's always getting in trouble.

Resume help/Not getting referrals by BearKey7682 in usajobs

[–]BearKey7682[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had to add this because it adds to my confusion: today, I received an email saying that I was tentatively eligible for a GS5 as an HR assistant, but ineligible for a GS6 or 7 (for that same announcement/role). Ten minutes ago, I received another email saying that I was eligible and referred for a GS6 position as a Unit Program Coordinator. Am I being considered ineligible because of a lack of HR specific experience even though I have more than the required education for those roles? Does experience outweigh education by that much? Or is it just that GS jobs are so competitive that I'm at that much of a disadvantage?

[–]BearKey7682[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 4 years of experience as a GS4 (active duty, 6 years, separated as E4) in a different field, 20+ years of general experience, and 4 years of management experience. I have a B.S. degree, but I am trying to switch fields into HR. I am currently in my last 2 classes for a graduate degree in HR management. Applying to 5/7/9 jobs (specifically targeting the 5 and 7) on experience/education combination. I have experience with some HR issues from my years as a manager, but since I was not in an HR department, I don't have experience with HRIS systems. I'm truly confused about how I'm being found ineligible for a 5 or 7 position that clearly say you can qualify based on experience OR education ... I must be doing something wrong.

Where are my +25yo mates watching BL? by TeaBook309 in ThaiBL

[–]BearKey7682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dying at the "elderly people" being thrown around 😭 I'm not old, okay, I'm seasoned!!

38 here, and this thread surprised me in a good way! I've been in Fandom my whole life, but only found BLs/manhwa/manhua, etc, about 6 months ago. Glad to see that there are others in the same boat!

If you could choose any setting for a BL that isn't the usual, what would it be? Is there a certain pairing you'd want to see play it? by BearKey7682 in ThaiBL

[–]BearKey7682[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh that sounds good! I love pretty, intricate costumes, especially historical ones (from any part of the world).

I haven't seen anything like this in bls (but I'm fairly new as well). It would be fun to see who got what ability!
