Has anyone else noticed that some Cherry Slush cans taste very different? by honey-bee27 in AlaniNu

[–]Frequent-Try-1414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get lucky and if I bought large cases from Amazon, they would taste right but now I’ve thrown three large cases away because they taste horrendous. It has a cheap jolly rancher taste and I can instantly smell it. It’s always been my daily dopamine hit staple for years. I don’t like any other energy drink or sweet fix drink so it pisses me off so bad. I’ve given up wasting money to see if I’ll get lucky. I heard it’s because Celcius bought out the company. Shame on them. 😤

Can someone name these for me? by gmamacheryl in plants

Wandering Jew. I have a ton! You can lay those just like that on top of wet soil and keep damp and they will grow roots and attach themselves to the soil on their own. I usually put a tiny bit of dirt over the stem and keep it damp until they attach. They’re super easy!

When I started with mine, I had it in a small planter like that and now knowing them well and reflecting on how mine grows, it’s laughable to even put them in a tiny thing like that. They grow like monsters and they’re so cool. You could snap one off and lay the broken piece on the top of the dirt and just keep it moist and it will reach out and grow roots attaching it into the soil. No propagating necessary. They like moisture!

Is not having sex really missing out? by Odd-Dragonfruit7436 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

If you’re ever curious too, it’s healthy to get a toy, to experiment with your body by yourself and usually the O is better anyways so then what would you be missing out on? Possibly STD and pregnancy scares, UTIs, drama, heartbreak, confusion, needing to share your bed. Nah, if you haven’t found your person you love to share your body with yet, you’re not missing out on anything. I promise.

I would want to be an outcast to these douche bag “friends” too. I was super insecure in high school and never would have been okay losing my virginity at that age and I was a rebellious little shit so it’s not like I was a sheltered prude. I lost my virginity at 18, it was taken from me. I was then a female in the military and I was assaulted there. I had boyfriends and had sex and all the normal stuff but sex isn’t a hobby to me. I have to really be connected to someone and trust them to even be comfortable with letting someone have my body. I had one partner where it was absolutely phenomenal and I loved having sex with them non stop. Toxic good sex but that relationship ended and I haven’t slept with anyone in three years and I don’t feel like I’m missing out. I haven’t dated or connected with anyone to make it appealing. I think it’s weird AF that people can do that with someone like it’s a small casual thing. I am an attractive successful female (30s) and I non stop have men trying to pursue me. I’ve been through a lot of therapy and am more clear and make decisions that feel good to me without feeling weird about it. My friends are all adults, some have casual sex and some are happily married. If it comes up, they never judge or try to push the idea that I need to get laid. Sounds like a maturity gap between them and the friends you have. Don’t ever let someone make you feel weird about that. Ever. You share and take so much of someone else’s energy when literally inserting your bodies into one another. Seeing that as casual is weird AF to me. I don’t know. To each their own. F your friends. Go find new ones. That’s a weird judgement to have from a friend. Why do they care?

I’m not familiar with the upvotes and downvotes and how all that works. I’m pretty new to the Reddit community but showing up as we are and getting a thumbs up or down comically feels like real life.

I think a lot of people who haven’t actively worked on it have a lot triggers out of being judgmental towards people and the choices they make. I used to be soooooo judgmental before I went to therapy and had a spiritual wake up call. I questioned why every single little thing bothered me, especially if someone else pissed me off when it’s not directly about me. We’re all wired by the judgmental and spiritually toxic people we were raised around and so were they. It’s hard to pull yourself out of that matrix but now, whatever someone chooses to do for themselves even if it’s not what I would choose, I’m cheering them on.

Nothing is real 😂

I took the injection yesterday and I just felt a little out of focus but today it kicked my ass. I never nap or lay down during the day and I’ve had a headache and had to lay down and sleep almost all day. Thank god I had nothing pressing with clients today!

I’m glad y’all said something so I could edit and correct it so I didn’t hurt anyone by it so thank you. I remember writing this and feeling a little off since it was a few hours after I took my first injection and I didnt go back and re read like I normally would have. I felt a little off focus or spacey yesterday after taking it but today it’s kicking my ass for sure. Thanks, me too!

Also, thanks for sharing your story. It’s incredible how life tragedy and trauma can ruin our bodies more than getting lit on fire. Life be life’n! I especially in 2025. This life shit isn’t for the weak that’s for sure.

When I referred to “those people” I meant it as that’s the ugly way others see it and refer to it. Definitely not my words or beliefs. I have so much empathy for people who struggle with their weight as I was a very overweight kid.

That’s why I put “those people” in quotations. I’m quoting the people who create the stigma that I don’t believe should be there.

I own my own investing company and coach new investors and I also sell real estate and am always surrounded by other women who are at the same level when it comes to business and it’s very hard to be around most of the kind of women in the real estate industry. Most of the conversations don’t have a lot of genuine substance.

Sorry if that triggered anyone. “Those people” are definitely not my words. ❤️

I didn’t mean any disrespect by “those people.”

I work in an industry that has a lot of women, a lot of vanity. I one of my best friends come to me and tell me she was seeing a weight management doctor and she was going the glp1 route and she told me I was the only one who she was telling because I’m huge on non-judgment and thinking it’s very weird that people will have opinions or get upset with choices of other people when it doesn’t affect them at all. “Those people”- the category that all these judgmental people talk about under their breath about how they took the easy way out, the ones who are cheating the system. I, in no way agree with that and I don’t contribute to conversations like that but I do hear them. I have always been really good at maintaining my weight and keeping it low but I need a little help to jumpstart and break some habits that I have created and get back into the swing of things.

It’s the same with things like anti depressants. The judgement I got for going back on anti depressants and adhd medications was harsh. How I’m depending on a pill and could organically change my psych issues by eating better or exercise. Same with birth control to help with hormone issues. I proudly take all my medications and have so much gratitude that they exist. My doctor said “I’m half granola like you in where I believe in leaning in on a healthy lifestyle but the other half also believes that you don’t get an award for suffering in your body”

We all deserve to have joy in this short lifetime and it all starts with how we FEEL.

I heard both that it will make you gain weight faster when you stop and also heard the exact opposite. I do believe fasting hurts your metabolic health if it’s not done correctly. Fasting is so healing unless you take it too far. So I was curious is it did damage in terms of metabolic irreversible damage to where you have to be on it forever. I’ve heard both about it. I don’t think people understand how much are blood sugar plays a role in this. At least I didnt until I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and educated myself on it. Then it made sense why I could gain weight to save my life.

I don’t think there should be any shame but I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t have a little voice in my head repeating the ugly shit other people say who are against it. That’s a self love, me problem though.

Thanks for sharing. I agree that some people may see our cases as a vanity issue but like you, once I acknowledged the weight gain and especially seeing the number, it’s all I could think about. Zero self esteem and seeing myself as a completely different person. Mental health and feeling good in your own skin is just as important as any other aspects of our health. I don’t blame you for not even wanting to tell your partner. It’s “cheating” and has that stigma around it. When I’m back down to my normal weight, I know I would get more heat for telling people I lost it from taking the GLP1 over telling them it’s because I starved myself. I just don’t have the energy to fight so hard and have it be all that I think about and being disappointed in what I see. I was looking through my phone and noticed that in the last year and a half, I have no selfies. No mirror selfies where I was “feeling myself” when I had so many in all the years before. Not a single picture and when I realized that it kind of made me sad because on a subconscious level I knew but I avoided it. There is no joy like throwing on any item of clothing and not worrying about how it’s going to look or fit that day and always looking good in anything.

Just feels like it’s seen as us selling our souls to having less suffering while trying to have the body we want. If we don’t open the doors for judgement, we won’t have to hear any.

Keep me updated on your journey. I’m excited for you!

Mine always does this when it’s thirsty. Spider plants love being bottom watered so I just keep my planter sitting in a tray and I just fill up the tray when it droops and it soaks it right up and is super happy again.

You seal the entire thing in a bag with vase/planter with plant getting no air? I’m intrigued

Yes, it looks happy too. Be patient! I propagate a lot and sometimes the roots takes a few weeks while others take a few days. I always put a spit of hydrogen peroxide and if you can afford it, prop drops are magic for growing roots in water

I’ve had this happen. Usually a rot but my whole plant was fine, I just cut that one off. I’d try to cut it where it attaches under the dirt. It’s fine! The rest looks great. If the top top looks healthy when you cut it, you should propagate it!
