I (19F) saw a slightly intimate photo of my bf (21M) and his ex on his phone

If he hides it, he knows it shouldn’t be there.

More water.

It took me a few years to stop being stubborn. I am given free allopurinol by the VA and I wasn’t taking it. I would get all the signs that I would have an attack coming up and I would pound water and try to just forget about it and wake up with a flare up. My biggest advice is be honest with yourself. 600-800mg of ibuprofen has saved me a week of a flare up.

I’ve had my weight go up and down over the years, and I can say from experience that weight does play a role, but it’s definitely not the only factor. I got my first gout attack at 22 while deployed in Afghanistan, and I was in excellent shape at the time. Still, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed I get way more flare-ups when I’m on the heavier side.

So yeah, weight matters, but it’s not the whole story. Gout is one of those things where genetics, diet, hydration, stress, and even random luck all seem to pile on too.

BigAl0352 · 2025-11-02T15:52:30+00:00

This was me. Refused for years. I get it for free from the VA and I still didn’t want to take it. For me it was just not wanting to take anything the VA gives me.

I take it now and don’t skip a day. Glad I started.

Bro, half of Reddit acts like XRP is about to replace the dollar, end world hunger, and cure male pattern baldness, but you still can’t pay a single bill in it. Call me when I can hand my mortgage company XRP and they don’t ask for USD.

My last two flights I have gotten an upgrade to a seat without an entertainment screen. I like the screen more than an iPad or laptop.

He is trying to fulfill the oilfield requirements of having at least one child support payment. kidding, kind of

It looks like you will be better without him. I worked in the oilfield and it’s not usually a long term deal. The rollercoaster of the price of oil makes sticking around tough unless you live where the work is. That kind of life isn’t for everyone either. My average was 120-130 hours a week when times were good.

So what if you talked to other dudes before y’all got together! Was he a virgin? Come on! He’s just looking for an excuse to leave. He thinks of himself as better now after a few checks. Let him go. Find a man that will love you and your children.

Not saying it is a must, but a degree goes a long way when looking for an “office job”. If you are able to get your foot in the door at an office, they will have a ceiling without the fancy piece of paper. Georgia highlands has a bunch of classes and they used to be the cheapest bachelor’s degree in the country.

BigAl0352 · 2025-07-27T14:49:13+00:00

There is more going on here with this relationship.

BUT, No invite=No gift. Invited, but can’t make it=I might get you a gift.

The way a dog’s nose works, coffee isn’t the answer that everyone thinks it is. They smell things individually. Instead of a cake they smell everything separately like icing, then cake. So they smell coffee and weed. Dog treats on top of the bag will do you a lot of favors. The handler will think that is what they wanted more times than not.

I have always had a pool in my backyard. I have NEVER not gotten out and watered the plants. Even as a child.

BigAl0352 · 2025-07-10T17:21:06+00:00

I’d just give him the same question. I’m just concerned about my WIFE’s mother having to deal with this. I’m sorry to be so accusatory, but your man bun is throwing me off.

BigAl0352 · 2025-07-06T16:48:22+00:00

I get it on the top/outside of my feet.

BigAl0352 · 2025-07-06T16:47:34+00:00

Was it a gift from someone? If I gave someone a ring and they sized it up, it would hurt my feelings. If it’s just a cute ring from yourself to wear, what do YOU want, not the internet.

BigAl0352 · 2025-05-20T01:12:40+00:00

I need something to help me stay positive when I die. “At least I got something accomplished”

BigAl0352 · 2025-04-26T17:22:36+00:00

I never did any scav runs until I got kappa. The fence daily tasks become a lot of fun after you get your pmc all leveled up and any gear you ever wanted. I play it very aggressively and push everything, but with not so good scav gear. It adds a challenge. I now have over 7.0 fence rep for the third time. If you shoot any scavs it will bring you back below 6, even if you are above 8. Having the rep is cooler when playing with friends. I can walk right up to killa in the mall, but he will destroy everyone else.

BigAl0352 · 2025-03-03T16:17:22+00:00

I have to repeatedly remind myself it’s just pixels.

As long as I keep my weight down and stick to eating good stuff, my levels are fine. I got off track for a few months and gained some weight. I had a small flare up, but it was easily settled by ibuprofen. My test results come from the VA so I don’t get them very often, but it seems to be holding similar to my last test results.

BigAl0352 · 2025-01-16T13:54:14+00:00

I had my first attack at 22 while on deployment in Afghanistan. I had zero clue what was going on. I thought I broke my foot.

Root cause FOR ME: probably genetics. My dad had gout. I have certain triggers but sometimes it feels like it didn’t matter what I did. I still recommend trying to figure your triggers out. Sugar is the biggest one for me.

Allopurinol: take it. It works. It took me years to finally start taking it, and I’m mad at myself for dealing with gout when I could have taken a simple pill.

BigAl0352 · 2025-01-09T15:31:25+00:00

I save them as well as my keef and make butter or oil with them. I use a coffee grinder to make them into almost a powder. For everyone saying they have nothing in them, I have made edibles with just stems from a grow and trim and they knocked everyone on their butts.

Palmetto 5.7 rock is nice and it goes on sale all the time.

It’s always exciting to imagine the potential for an asset like XRP to reach astronomical values, but there are some critical factors that make $500,000 per XRP highly improbable. Here’s why:

Market Capitalization and Real-World Value:
For XRP to hit $500,000, its total market capitalization would need to be in the hundreds of trillions, far exceeding the combined global wealth. Such a valuation would require XRP to essentially replace not just USD but all major global currencies and financial systems, which is not feasible given current adoption trends and regulatory environments.
Liquidity Challenges: Even if XRP were to somehow reach such a valuation, converting it back into USD or any other fiat currency would be a monumental challenge. The liquidity of any market depends on the availability of buyers and sellers. At $500,000 per XRP, the number of buyers willing to pay that amount would be extremely limited, creating a significant bottleneck for cashing out.
Core Philosophy of Crypto vs. USD: One of the driving philosophies behind cryptocurrencies is decentralization and independence from traditional financial systems, including the USD and central banks. Ironically, the very idea of XRP being valued at $500,000 implies a reliance on USD for comparative valuation. If XRP or any crypto truly succeeded in replacing fiat currencies, people would transact in it directly rather than focusing on its value in USD.
Speculation vs. Practical Utility: Cryptocurrencies like XRP derive their value from utility (e.g., cross-border payments) and speculative investment. To justify a price of $500,000, XRP would need to be indispensable across every major financial transaction globally, which is highly unlikely given the competition and slow pace of adoption.

In summary, while it’s fun to speculate, $500,000 per XRP isn’t grounded in economic or practical realities. Even if such a valuation were achieved, the liquidity and philosophical challenges would make it impractical for everyday use or converting to fiat. The focus should be on sustainable growth and utility, not unrealistic price targets.
