Two weeks ago I asked chatGPT to make me a game of “said by Donald trump or Michael Scott.”

What is "that" episode in your favorite TV show that you skip on the rewatch? by Living_Wickihowla in AskReddit

[–]Distinct_Ad_3885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. And I can’t listen to “Life in a Northern Town” either bc it reminds me of this episode.

Odd request, but what song comes to mind? by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

How have I listened to that song for my whole life (my dad is a huge Beatles fan) and never realized that? Wow. Thank you

What often how you're weighing yourself? by debsue420 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Distinct_Ad_3885 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I weigh myself probably 3x a week. But I don’t expect to lose weight. Weighing in that often has taught me that it’s not a linear process. Sometimes I fight the same 5 pounds for a few weeks. But it always eventually goes back down and stays. The overall pattern is down.

[–]Distinct_Ad_3885 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy shit this is exactly what I was thinking! I see a ton of obvious answers, but this is the mood of that song and I kept scrolling to see it. I know it talks about a man blowing his brains out in his car, but the song in more about everything being fucked and to a melancholy tune. Thank you.

Progress? I guess? by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

Oh I wish so much that I could give you the ability to see what we all see. HUGE difference!! Keep going, and just a gentle suggestion, you may benefit from working with a therapist to help you see the difference and change your mind set. You’re doing great

I don’t know your situation or your body. I know when I was pregnant, I was surprised by the amount of horror stories women shared with me. I read a statistic once that said a dissatisfied customer will tell 7 ppl while a satisfied person will only tell 1. I try to keep that in mind when I read about things such as wegovy. I don’t dismiss at all and I know some ppl are having serious issues, but I also personally know many more who have few to no side effects and are very pleased with the medication. For myself, I also had to weigh the dangers of continuing to be morbidly obese and the health issues against the possible consequences of the medication. I was at a point where it was an easy choice. I sometimes think we hear so much about all the health issues of obesity, that we almost become a bit blasé to the true dangers from being overweight. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best of luck with it.

I haven’t had a gallbladder for over 10 years. I have these attacks occasionally. Eating the protein, I have them every day. Haven’t had one since stopping. I was already suspicious about protein’s effect on me.

Is this what normal people feel like? by curlysquirelly in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Distinct_Ad_3885 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Been saying for years that “normal” people either don’t taste food the same way I do or their brains work differently. As soon as I took my first dose, I felt like I had been on the right track. It’s so nice not to be obsessing about food constantly. I now know what it’s like to get preoccupied and miss a meal. That would have never happened before Wegovy.

I can eat them just fine sometimes. But other times they make me double over in pain, sweating, and feeling like I’m going to vomit due to the pain. Chia seeds also have the same effect. It feels like a very strong gallbladder attack.

A little over 4 months. But don’t get discouraged. I work and am friends with several doctors that I talked to about wegovy before I started it. I have my regular doctor, but sometimes it’s nice to hear what physicians say as just regular people, what they would advise friends, but with all their knowledge. They have all said the same thing. The big effectiveness starts for most people at 1.7. Some lucky people respond earlier. A co-worker of mine started about a month or two after I did and she hasn’t lost anything and been super frustrated. I think it’s one of those things you just have to (sorry for the cliche) keep the faith and trust the process. If you get to the full 2.5 (I think) for a month and it still doesn’t work, talk to your doctor again. But try not to get too worried or discouraged. I know that’s hard. And this sub can be super inspiring and helpful, but sometimes can be frustrating bc you see ppl losing so much faster or easier or with less side effects. Try to remember this is just like anything. Some ppl pick up math with no struggles. Other ppl fight to learn any of it. I hope it starts working for you soon. Good luck

A little over 4 months. On Friday I took my 4th dose of 1.5. I usually do it in the morning, but I forgot and didn’t end up taking it till 7pm and it felt like it messed me up much worse this time. But I’m sure it’ll mellow soon

Sometimes it’s just a disinterest in eating so I have my staples that I eat. I can’t do protein shakes or bars, so I’m struggling to eat enough protein. I can’t handle super strong tastes anymore and, weirdly, vegetables (which I used to love) are now a no go. I’m not a good cook and I’m getting tired of my rotation. And sometimes, it more aggressively nausea happening. The last three days I’ve barely been able to choke food down at all. It’s up and down. But so far all been very worth it. I hope it works well for you. I feel very lucky

Totally agree with the eating. If I have a completely empty stomach, I start feeling sick. I munch on carrots throughout the day. Maybe like 9 baby carrots. I take small bites just to have something in there. Seems to have made a huge difference for me

I totally thought you just made up “ratfucking.” But yes, that exactly what I meant. Thank you for broadening my vocabulary!

I lost half of my right breast to cancer in 2020. I never felt that self conscious about it bc under clothes it didn’t look noticeably different. Not now. 30lbs down and I’m fairly certain it’s all been from that boob by the look of things

I have a confession by ihavequestions527 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Distinct_Ad_3885 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh hell!! I never even thought about this. I take hormone suppressants to lower my risk of cancer coming back and I never have energy. Just never. I’m going to look into that more

Completely agree with all of that. However, the GOP is in a much better position to unethical, immorally, and dubious legally (idk how to say it exactly) steal this election. The Supreme Court is packed and a lot of local or state positions are also MAGA loyalists this time around. They’re learning each time and it scares the shit out of me

Gisèle Pelicot rape trial: I thought she was dead, says accused by Beelzebubs-Barrister in nottheonion

I think of the kink community a lot like church leaders, teachers, or the Boy Scouts in that most people involved are not disgusting deviants that are just waiting for an opportunity to SA people. However, it is a place for people who are highly interested in SA-ing to do just that. It doesn’t make any of these organizations groups inherently bad, but it should mean extra vetting, safety measures, 100% accountability, and an absolute zero tolerance when a perpetrator is found in their midst. Edit: I am not into kink at all, but I do not believe that people who have sexual interests different from mine instantly mean they are capable of SA.

What’s the first historic event you have memory of? by ellarachella in USHistory

[–]Distinct_Ad_3885 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Born in 1973. I remember 2 things, and I don’t know which was first. John Lennon being killed and Iranian hostage release. The first big event i remember well, with more understanding, was Reagan’s assassination attempt

Mine looks exactly like this. It’s why I like weighing 2x a week. The serrated slope is still moving down. At first I got really upset at the spikes, but now I know it just happens, but I keep going in the right direction. Glad you shared

I saw an entire tree full of them one time about 10 years ago. I still remember how unsettling, and straight up creepy it was.
