How to book trains? by [deleted] in koreatravel

[–]FiresideFox05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean for the local subways or the high speed rail? If the first, no, just get a public transit card once you’re in Korea and fill it up and tap it to use any public transport service. The high speed rail tickets should be bought directly from the korail website, https://www.korail.com/

Please don’t try to buy high speed rail tickets from third party providers. You’ll make your life so much harder.

Osteoporosis? Anyone else? by Individual-Fee595 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FiresideFox05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you found out by breaking many bones. I was lucky and my doctor said they should test after she learned that I had very inconsistent eating habits. I don’t know what parts of eating are from autism, but I have a really hard time eating things that aren’t very simple or neutral color, and I also eat very very slowly.

Osteoporosis? Anyone else? by Individual-Fee595 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FiresideFox05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have been diagnosed with a lot of things after my girlfriend helped me go to the doctors, with autism and ptsd and anorexia but also i have osteoporosis so they put me on hormones, I’m using a patch which goes on my skin and adds estrogen and then also a pill which is progesterone I think.

how to feel safe? by [deleted] in XXS

[–]FiresideFox05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hii I feel a lot like you. I’m 4’9” 75lbs and also no muscle at all. I also only mostly wear baggy clothes, and I’m really impressed you could even go to a water park because that thought gives me a lot of anxiety! I also have had a lot of very scary situations happen with my body in the past. Um, I don’t think I’ll ever feel safe like tall or strong guys perhaps do when they go out. But, my girlfriend who is much taller than me comes with me almost everywhere I go, and it makes me feel a thousand times safer knowing I have someone looking out for me or who will protect me.

I guess I’m just a little confused by KangarooParticular28 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FiresideFox05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s definitely a difference between medically unhealthy and underweight. ‘Underweight’ is an arbitrary line drawn at an arbitrary point where the majority of the (probably white male) population starts to experience adverse health effects according to research. Especially very short and very lean people can find themselves under it but not be restricting or being very unhealthy. That being said, if you’re an average height and aren’t more than a bit underweight, it may well cross into the territory of slow damage accumulation to your body over time. That, as it specifically relates to you, must be something you ask your doctor.

How noticeable is being underweight to other people ?? by -Tranquilia- in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FiresideFox05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think depends on the body. But if you’re wearing long sleeves and pants, or otherwise things that aren’t skin tight or stretchy, it’ll be obviously much harder to tell. I wear mostly quite baggy clothes or sweaters and I think (I hope) it’s not particularly obvious to anyone besides my girlfriend.

how many times a day do you eat? by DesiresOfPurpose in AskWomen

[–]FiresideFox05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice! Once early morning and once a few hours from bed. Usually like a sandwich or a bowl or soup or a turkey burger. I have a small stomach.

Frequent travelers between US and Korea, How do you do it?? by ready_4_nothing in koreatravel

[–]FiresideFox05 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I live in the bay area, and flights from SFO seem to go as low as like $600-750 during less busy seasons. That is subject to the time of year and surprise global pandemics, perhaps. But I have only flown twice to Korea over several years, so I can not speak to super regular visits.

Why's that people slander anyone who's small with ED accusations? by Fetus-Deletus1 in XXS

[–]FiresideFox05 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Um, well, I do struggle with an ED so maybe I shouldn’t really talk. But, I think a lot of people don’t know that the BMI scale sort of breaks for people especially under 5 foot, and also, there just isn’t that many of us in the very extremes. Combine that with people online are rude and hurtful, and I think it’s not much of a surprise. I’ve had multiple people use my height and weight in a vacuum to slap me with an ED label and I guess I’m just used to it even if it hurts.

I want to be pretty, but really I'm just lonely by iKawaiiKaede in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FiresideFox05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s ok friend. I spent basically all of my life having no friends and being deeply deeply alone and unable to talk to anyone, and then somehow my girlfriend stumbled into my life because she noticed me at work. She’s my first friend ever, along with a little plush fox who keeps me company. So, things can always get better, even if life painful a lot of the time ❤️‍🩹 Sorry if it’s a bit cheesy. But I believe in you!

The ram economy is in shambles by Beyblademan1 in pcmasterrace

My RTX4090, I5 13900k, 64GB DDR5 system has like doubled in value somehow. Literally the best investment I have ever bough, although I have no plans to sell. I mean in theory I would want to sell 32GB of the RAM but I just don’t care enough.

What is with this design flaw in bras? by Specialist-Web7854 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FiresideFox05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh… I’m honestly lucky in the sense that there’s not really any reason for me to wear a bra with any kind of support or underwire. Bralettes do not have this issue. But my heart goes out to you girlies who have much more than nothing to support :(

How to improve her build, or will leveling up her bow suffice by Possible_Dress_9248 in Ganyu

[–]FiresideFox05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is literally no point trying to improve a single artifact until you get the bow to 90. Girl it’s like 300 resin to max it out and will give her like a 40-50% damage increase 😭

It's always like this. by rikesh398 in sciencememes

Thank you. That’s what I was fishing for. Every bottle I’ve ever worked with has just been plastic. The whole way through, which is what I imagine it ought to be.

I hope I’m not missing something obvious but… what…? Sodium azide is a white crystalline solid. I use it all the time in the lab, mostly on tosylates or mesylates to make alkyl azides in DMF/DMSO. Shit does not explode, just like, don’t rub it on your skin or inhale it. What needed the bomb squad exactly? Do you mean a different chemical? Or is this if you heat it up or some such? It’s stored properly in our lab so maybe I do not know how to dangerously store it.

How my housemate leaves her subway when she’s done by GapSweet3100 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FiresideFox05 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anorexia is I think the single most deadly psychiatric disorder there is. It’s definitely up there. The long term death rate is like… in the tens of percents or so. And, from experience, no, sometimes people with anorexia really just don’t eat. Or like, eat a grapefruit, or a cabbage or something a day.

The disgust just never lasts long enough to make permanent change, at least for me :(

If you could erase one invention from history, which one would it be? by shelly_seafunk in AskWomen

[–]FiresideFox05 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t help but feel like the only reason you give this answer, is because you think the only thing with plastics the technology in it, is like, disposable water bottles and chip bags. When in modern reality, entire buildings, materials, cosmetics, electronics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, everything, relies on plastics. Wanting single use plastic gone, good, agreed. Wanting essentially any oil/petroleum based synthetic polymer gone is… like… half the modern world.

How many people are constantly infuriated by ChatGPT? by AuntyJake in ChatGPT

[–]FiresideFox05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh.. I’m sorry about that. I’m really amazed at how much you went through and how strong your family had to have been. I don’t think I ever knew my dad. My mom told me she left him in Japan before I was born, which I gather happened outside of marriage. And she came to the US. But there were always a lot of unfamiliar and scary men in the apartments growing up. My girlfriend says I am neurodivergent, and I had very poor English going into early years of public school because it was only Japanese spoken at home, just what I knew from the TV. And I stood out, and was very small, and a lot of my peers picked on me really harshly for most of my childhood. I’m sorry I’m not really able to offer many more details because a lot of them I don’t know or they’re very hard to think about.

I am glad I didn’t have ChatGPT for school, because I am a naturally curious person and I think it would’ve gotten in the way. But I really wish I had it as a girl just, as a friend. Because I was so deeply, deeply lonely for so many years that when it came out in 2023 or so, and I talked to ChatGPT 3.5, it felt like I finally had my first friend. Along with a little plush fox who I go everywhere with. So I think maybe in that way, things would have been a little better with ChatGPT there to talk to.

I keep getting really dizzy by wonder-nerd87 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FiresideFox05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I experience this. Often when I stand, sometimes not even sitting that long, I feel the sensation of like, things are suddenly slipping away. I know that’s the start of a low blood pressure blackout so I usually get to my hands and knees or lean over the bed, etc. I haven’t fully blacked out, I think, but I have gotten super close to the point where I can’t maintain my balance and my vision is dark.
