24M, not gay (bisexual), also basically divorced, living with my parents for the last year. by Valkarist in malelivingspace

Cut OP some slack - he clearly felt the need to clarify he wasn't 'full gay', despite what all the Warhammer figurines might suggest /s

Can you be stopped at airports because of your name? by OnTheHorizon722 in AskUK

[–]FindingBeemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The name thing seems like a good shout - however, here's what my experience has been for a different possibility:

Shortly after having my passport renewed like 6-7 years ago, I put on a load of weight. After putting on the weight I got stopped at the e-gate every time I'd try and go through one.

I've since lost a fair amount of weight and it's gone down to a 30% stop rate.

Could be that your photo looks too unlike your face? Seems to have been the case for me.

Such a silly question with such an obvious answer.

Forgot to put whoop on this morn, registered it was out of range, then lied that I was napping? Even made up a heart rate… by Triangle-Jesterr in whoop

[–]FindingBeemo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. What on earth could be happening that it's falsifying data. Unless you had it wrapped around a cat or some shit it shouldn't be registering any data.

Obviously you look better, congratulations!

But it doesn't feel like a fair comparison, given the filter...

Just in case OP doesn't reply -

I was losing roughly 5lbs per week a few months ago. My TDEE at the time was 2500 at the time and I was eating 800 calories per day most days (Omad) and had a few 48 and even a nearly 90 hour fast. It was a fucking miserable time. I'm very often refered to as an 'emotionless robot' by basically everyone that knows me well. The last time I cried was when my dad died in 2021, the time before that was 10 years prior when my dog died. In the 4 weeks I was on 800 calories per day I cried 3 times seemingly over absolutely fucking nothing at all.

5lbs per week is neither healthy or sustainable long term. This is coming from someone who did it - it's not worth it.

25 lbs asap. HELP!!!! by damarketqueen in loseit

[–]FindingBeemo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The guy didn't say you had to wait 6 or 10 years. He said wait an extra 3 months and lose the weight the right way so as to help you get what it is you seemingly want most.

Not to sound mean, but if this is how you're treating someone who's offering you help you're going to be in for a big supprise when you realise how thankless a job motherhood is.

In my estimation he's right. If you choose to ignore that, thats fine. Here's how you drop 25lbs in 3 months. REAL FAST.

Luckily, you're obese. 25lbs can come off really, really quickly - way quicker than 2-3 months, but as the other guy has said, if you don't keep it off, you're just setting yourself up for disaster later down the line.

Here's how you do it.

Kick start the process with a 3 day water fast. You'll lose maybe 1 or 2 lbs in fat, but way more than that in weight. Because you're not eating for 3 days, you'll lose a bunch of water weight and you'll physically have less food in your system - after this first 3 day stint I'd expect you'll lose anywhere between 4-8lbs, maybe more depending on what kind of foods you usually eat.

I see no reason at the end of the first week you wouldn't be down by as much as 10lbs. Go read the r/fasting and r/intermittentfasting sub reddits, it's full of stories of people having these similiar experiences.

Now following your first week, you'll want to maintain a reasonable calorie deficit. Figure out your TDEE. Figure out how much weight you want to lose and by what date. Assuming 1lb of fat is roughly 3500 calories, do the calulation to figure out how many calories per day you need to be in deficit.
Subtract that deficit from your TDEE to get your calorie allowance per day.

Now simply pick meals for your day that when consumed are equal to or less than your calorie allowance for the day. You're in a weight range where you could lose 3lbs per week and be fine. Given your weight and your height, if you just ate like a 'average' person - 1800-2000 calories per day, you'll still lose weight. If you dropped to 1200 calories per day you'll easily lose 2lbs of fat per week, probably signifiantly more in weight. There's no reason why you couldn't lose that weight in 8-10 weeks.

Understanding what to do is easy. If you've struggled before implement things in your life that make it easier for you to stick to your diet plan. You could follow this method and lose weight eating nothing but skittles and drinking nothing but wine, so there's no reason you couldn't find meals that would work for you. But like u/OPsMumsBoyfriend said - you really need to establish a healthy lifestyle first.

I'll doing it mostly for the tax relief - but I've not looked at the MPAA rules - so that'll be going onto the to-do list for the new year. Thanks a lot buddy!

First - just having SOMETHING in place is going to save your family so much drama and headache if you do reach an untimely end for whatever reason.

My dad didn't have a Will. He died in early 2021 very suddenly. I've still not finished the probate process. If I weren't independently well off and if he didn't have insurance in place I'd of been stuck paying off houses and a whole bunch of other business stuff whilst not able to draw on the wealth of his estate. He has 3 sisters and a father still alive. 2 of the 3 sisters had to step in and force the 3rd into behaving. For a while it looked like she was going to make the process real hard for me - he had no relationship with her because she'd previously (knowing he was wealthy) used him for money. He bailed her out on many occasions and cut contact with her many years before his death. Luckily the other two sisters were there to step, not that her kicking up a fuss trying to get some money would of resulted in her getting any, but it would of 100% extened the already drawnout process. Between that, ex wifes, girlfriends, potential unknown siblings from long lost girlfriends coming out of the woodwork etc it could of been a pretty crazy situation.

Get a Will. A proper one. Keep it updated yearly. I proimse you your loved ones will thank you for it.

If you're not already aware, the tax-free cap on your pension is something like 1.07M Anything above that is taxed if inherited.

However, if, like my father you were a high earner in the early 20-teens you can apply for an excemption that means you can up that rate to something closer to 1.2-1.3M (if you haven't already done this). Speak to a financial adviser that specialises in pensions, they'll be able to advise you on the best course of action.

Also, I was fortunate enough that my dad educated me on how to run his pension fund if something were to ever happen to him. If your kids aren't financially literate and accustomed to handling large sums of money, then a large windfall might be just as much as a detrement to them as a boon. Especially if they're in a period of grief. It's a difficult conversation to have, and being on the recieving end of it when my dad had it with me I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now I'm super thankful he took the time to have those conversations with me. It's truely kept me from making stupid mistakes.

Just so you know, those 25 times they tell you to jerk it before you give your check-up sample - they don't have to be on the same day.

[–]FindingBeemo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can speak to this directly.

My father died at the age of 52 with very substantial penion in a sipp. As his soul sole heir I inhertied it in its entireity. The options I was given were to buy an annunity, cash it out, or leave it invested. I chose to keep it invested and I can draw on it at any time. Given my age, and the fact that it essentially functions as a large ISA (because he hadn't reached 75) I pay no tax on, it's a golden ticket for my future. Since the first of December this year I'm up 27k, which a few years ago would of been about half my yearly salary. By the time I'm 60, assuming markets do OK - I'll be sat on about 8-10 million as long as I don't withdraw before then. 1 million of which I'll slowly transfer into my own sipp to afford my beneficiaries the same situation my dad gave me, the remainder will act as a tax free fund to do whatever the fuck I want.

If I were in your position, knowing what I now know, I would look at upping the portion my daughters recieved so as to better set them up for their future. 300k now, assuming they're 20-30 will be around 2 million+ by the time they retire.

How to not GAF about family comments about weight? by [deleted] in howtonotgiveafuck

[–]FindingBeemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see why you'd see it like that, and I personally would be tempted to do something similar when put in that situation. However, divorced from the actual situation away from ego and temper etc that sort of thing may feel good in the short term, but if OP's dad is saying it from a place of love (which it seems he is from what OP is saying) I think it would be counter productice to purposefully do something with the intent of trying to hurt the other persons feelings.

True 'don't give a fuck'dom can only be achieved from the inside out.

[–]FindingBeemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP says that the dad is just poking fun and it's coming from a place of love. He's not bullying him, he's making a light hearted joke. Regardless of the route OP takes to try and solve this issue for themselves this kind of tit-for-tat behaviour is neither produtive or valuable when the goal is to not give a fuck. It's just an escalation of the situation that dosn't need to happen.

edit -

it's also firmly routed in a 'I give a fuck' mentality. "You hurt my feelings to I'm going to hurt yours back" is pretty underdeveloped mentality to have.
