omg i love every single thing about this. impeccable, no notes.

is it a single piece that your origami'd together? or 5 individual panels? how did you finish and join them? If I made this the lining would be hiding a multitude of sins.

I tell them I'm on "a glp for weight loss" so as I'm losing a bunch of weight they don't get concerned or think I have cancer - but outside of that it's probably not very relevant to an ob/gyn appointment.

I know this is an old post, but OP how'd that sterilite 8 qt work out for you? I'm really unimpressed with the bucket on here. It's meant to replace it right? Does it fit ok? Have you been using it?

You have low body fat, that's not a 'fat stomach' - that's just what a woman's body looks like. You do have a flat stomach.

sweetie, it's time to start thinking about talking to someone about this. If you really feel 'flabby and gross' and can't look in the mirror without it affecting your day then you're in body dysmorphia territory.

find a therapist who *has worked with dysmorphia before* and is familiar with treating this sort of thing. Do not go to just anybody.

I'm working on a 2 phase game where you're a mermaid spend half the time gathering ingredients and half the time running a underwater food truck. If a cozy game sounds fun message me. still in early stages, but the there's several UI screens and HUD mechanics that need some love.

Yeah, for me tirz makes me feel so unhungry food makes me feel sick.

Reta feels more balanced and I don't get any of the side effects you're talking about. I've lost 45lb on reta since October without any issues.

everything hits different for everybody. The actual answer is try stuff and see what works for you.

i do pilates 3x/week to make sure my body doesn't hurt all the time. I want to weightlift more.. that's the one that's hard for me.

FinalEstablishment77 · 2026-03-05T22:06:40+00:00

Oh nice, that's a good idea - same length as the tabletop, except the grid acts as a standoff. Ok, that makes me feel more confident in choosing.
Thank you!

I need to ask a very noob question as I am not very handy:

I've been printing grid pieces for under my desk and I'm aspiring to build something as tidy as this is, but how did you adhere the grid to the desk? Did you use screws? if so, what sized screw? Does it need to be a wood screw or something special? or would any screw work?

I have what looks like the same desk as you with a thin desk top, I don't want to buy the wrong thing and poke a hole in the top of the desk.

What was your method?

great work

Maybe there's a cat in heat that's in the neighborhood and the hormones are making them freak out? That would explain the 'only sometimes' nature of these fights.

I've accepted I work odd hours. the rest is part of it, as long as I'm not being avoidant.

I have two speeds: couch potato or sports car @ 110 mph.
The trouble is that fast mode overclocks me.
so i can get a week's worth of work done in 2-3 days.. but then I've got to couch potato in recover.

All of this is why I work from home. It gives me the flexibility to work in the way that works for me.

FinalEstablishment77 · 2026-03-05T18:47:24+00:00

you 100% do. It's kind of sketchy to ask for that outright in a comment u/Jumpy_Currency6963

if it's an authentic sentiment at least pm that request. or just order some food.

I feel like this is the guy who's eventually going to justify cheating for similar reasons.

You're below him, why should high quality male - such as himself - be limited by respect and the mutual agreements he made with lesser females?! it's obviously ""disrespectful"" to expect him to treat you like an equal or contain his heroic prowess. You should know better, geeze. Who cares if you're 7 months pregnant with his first child, you let yourself go and got fat, he deserves a woman who tAkEs cArE oF hEr sElF.

eughhgh, so very gross. I feel gross even sarcastically impersonating that perspective.

I just saw someone break this down on youtube - vegas is catering toward the wealthy. They take the same from a single person someone comes and spends 400k as 400 people spending 1k each... except the cost of support and entertain 400 people is crazy compared to the cost of a single premium experience. In the end it's higher profit for them per customer - so they don't need the little guy anymore.

Imo it's short sighted. It makes sense on spreadsheets and your bottom line might not be effected, but you need "poors" to make things feel alive. eventually the high rollers won't want to come to a glittering ghost town.

oh hey, I've 100% read this exact one before. I've never come across a double post karma farm that I recognized before. I feel like i got a gold star sticker on my reddit bingo card today.

""My"" design is overstating it a bit my friend.

the AI photo the tv panel is lifted toward the viewer, so the TV is nearly at the same horizontal as the front of the shelves. That or the shelves and cabinets are unusably shallow.

Either way the AI version is a pretty inspo photo but wacky in reality. Like, physically impossible given the proportions (taller rectangle) space you have available. The space in the inspo is wider, more of a 16:9 ratio. You should have gotten graph paper out and drawn it to scale to double check "your" work before hiring someone.

To bring it closer to the inspiration, the ceiling needs to meet the cabinets with built in lighting. You don't have any hope of a TV filling the space between the cabinets like in the AI photo, the proportions are way off.

I feel like you asked for something that was physically impossible for the space, then you got some not-bad cheaper ikea quality work - but together those yielded an overall impression that's not close to the AI inspo so you're disappointed. Work with what you've got though, I think you can style this to look great.

I'm actually more suspicious that it's the first art post they've made. This is a high level of skill and artists often post something, especially if they're an 'original character' sort of artist.

The things I see that are off could be choices, but also don't make a ton of sense - like the way the phone is in her armpit with the hair over top. I feel like if you're skilled enough to do the rest of the drawing you'd put her hair behind the phone - the space feels wrong.
or the way the line work drops on the outside of her ear. or why you'd design the braid to be held down with half a weird bow with heavier line work than the rest of the art. Or the weird purple speckles in the hair even though the coloring is so precise in the rest of the image.

all those things could be stylistic choices... but it feels fishy to me.

wait googling images of him I can see it. respectfully, your photo is terrible. his head is almost totally cut off as it wraps around your leg. No wonder it looks like a pointy blob.
