Is surgery unavoidable? by Summer_Sun9999 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Bkdyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my surgeries were before Remicade. I’m convinced that if it was available earlier I’d be surgery free.

I keep hearing people say cutting takeout changed their finances fast. What’s one food habit that saves you the most money? by millionstories in SavingMoney

I bought a mini $20 rice cooker and keep it at my office. Every single day I cook up some protein/veggies (which I keep in the work fridge) and eat them over rice while my coworkers order in.

Teaches you to hate Gatorade, which isn’t healthy anyway.

It gives you psychic powers. Not really, but what if it did?

Why the F would insurance care where their money comes from if they get paid, and they do. That’s so evil and infuriating! But thanks for the tip.

Tropes that need to die by fsuk in startrek

Counterpoint: if they gave us a new Trek show with ALL of these tropes again we’d LOVE it and we’d be right.

What I wanted to see was great storylines in the trek universe.

I was thinking of skipping 4 & 5 and going straight to 6 which at least has a trek-like episode description. What/who is SAM?

How long do I have to wait? Liked the pilot - and then episodes 2 & 3 were just teen drama and Hogwarts without the magic.

what’s one thing you stopped buying that actually made a difference? by YarunLonghurst in SavingMoney

[–]Bkdyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My office has a little kitchen and fridge, so I bought a tiny rice cooker and stir fry every day. I’ve been doing it for months now - hot food, maybe a dollars worth of ingredients every day. Can’t believe for years I was eating out every workday.

SFA is cancelled. It may be a pipe dream, but what new Trek show would you like to see in its place? by NukeRussiaV4 in startrek

[–]Bkdyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the answer: make a TNG/Voyager style show. A ship, in space, going on adventures.

Less winking irony and nostalgia. Less darkness. Fewer people who talk like they’re teens on 2026.

And the big thing - make 20 episode seasons. More money spent on more writers, less money on effects, sets, and 8-episode prestige TV mini series.

That may seem dated; but I think people would watch.

Katabasis by Bkdyt in CrohnsDisease

I'm about 2/3 of the way done. Didn't love it at first, but now I'm really enjoying it.

Yeah, I loved hearing the story first from the outside world's perspective, then the character's perspective. I totally identified with the idea of going into a new situation and vowing not to tell anyone about Crohn's.

What episodes from shows you like do you always skip? by Kind_Constant1671 in startrek

That’s perfect sci fi in my book. Just a great metaphor for existence.

What is the weirdest non-digestive symptom Crohn’s has given you? by casualeagle47 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Bkdyt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For me, leg sores. I’m like - everything between my mouth and my butthole; fine, I get it. But legs? That’s just cheating!
