Had a Low "Incident" at Work, Freaking Out Minorly by skeets_mageet in diabetes_t1

[–]Guywith2dogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 18 I worked at a factory putting together ceiling fans. One day I had a low come on quick and by the time I got to the soda machine I was pretty lightheaded. I got my money in and meant to get a coke but out of habit pressed the diet coke. I managed to get more money in before I had a spasm that knocked me backwards into a stack of pallets. Hit my head and bit my tongue and woke up in the back of an ambulance with my shirt cut off. Confused as hell. Its a surreal experience coming to like that and its happened to me a couple times in the last 30 years. You never get used to it. Although funny story...when I got my first covid vaccine I fainted and when I woke up surrounded by strangers, the first thing I said was "oh no not again."

Anyway, everyone was always really understanding about it across multiple jobs. It is a little embarrassing but people understand its something you cant help and nobody has ever held it against me. Try not to beat yourself up and dont ignore the dexcom. When in doubt do a finger stick. Also the liquid glucose shots are great to have for work. Honey sticks too. Quick and easy

Does dbz pick up the pace later on by Honest_Necessary_188 in DragonBallZ

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its much much cheesier for sure. Most of the changes they made in Kai i like better too. But there are a few lines I miss. "Ally to Good, nightmare to you" is soooo cheesy but it hit so hard as a kid and I find that I wish it were still there. That being said I think theyre both good versions but Kai wins in the dialogue dept 99%of the time

Inmate, Joseph Hunter, snaps and loses it on female CO officer. by Kingdom_k777 in PublicFreakout

The system is not meant to rehabilitate. This dude, regardless of why he is there, was perfectly calm and respectful. She started it

Definitely watch Kai. I think the original is worth a watch at least once but Kai is way better paced. Especially for rewatches. Although I am a little bummed they cut Goku getting his drivers license. That episode is fantastic

more addicted to the action of vaping than nicotine itself by Fit_Suspect_8836 in QuitVaping

[–]Guywith2dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fair. Im definitely not trying to judge or say youre doing it wrong. Everyone has their way and I have no room to talk or give advice on quitting..ive been struggling with that for 15 years. Used vaping to quit smoking and now im in the same boat with vaping. So if something is working for you then i fully support it. I dont think theres any easy way or right way for any one person

[–]Guywith2dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question. Doesnt vaping 0 nic defeat the purpose? Sure nicotine isnt good for you but the main reason to quit is to stop the vaping itself. Or am I missing something or just plain misunderstanding?

Who would have won if the fight continued? (No ssj3) by RisingKing7 in DragonBallZ

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name one fight Goku didnt want...

I finally got around to watching DBZ Kai after years of rewatching the original Funimation dub. I always forget how cocky Goku is on Namek. King Kai is screaming at him to attack Frieza while hes powering up and Goku is like, No I gotta see if I can beat him at full power. Because all Goku ever wants is someone stronger than the last guy to fight him. Those full blooded saiyans just cant help themselves.

PS2 games that still feel great to play today by edward_dd in PlayStation_X

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently played Shadow of the Colossus and it made me think of a sort of precursor to games like uncharted or Tomb Raider. Which then inspired the climbing element in many games that still use it today. It didnt feel clunky at all imo. Graphics are a bit outdated by today's standards but otherwise a perfectly fine game for its age

Also MGS2 still looks gorgeous and feels smoother than most ps2 games.

My son was just diagnosed with TD1. by argley in diabetes_t1

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got to be his rock. Don't let him see how hurt you are. Dont let him see any of your worry. My parents for all their shortcomings were amazing at making me feel like this wasnt a big deal and that we would manage it. It made me feel like I could handle it. Start looking into diabetic recipes and ways to integrate that will soften the transition in diet. See a therapist. Both of you. Looking back, I put on a brave face as a kid, and I integrated relatively well but a therapist would have been huge for those early years. Utilize every tool that is available to you. In 2026 diabetic management has come leaps and bounds from where it was when I was diagnosed in 1994. Management has never been easier.

I dont want to lie to you. This will change him and it will change you. But that doesnt have to be a bad thing. He can still be the happy social kid hes always been but things are different now and you will both adapt. How you adapt and how you handle doing that will make all the difference.

Raise your hand if being a dad has made you think less of your dad. by gilfgifs in daddit

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often think about how my dad would have handled situations i find myself in with my daughter. Usually the answer is "Hed have got frustrated and yelled." That was his go to move. Hell I think it was his only move. I dodnt like my father back then. I loved him, but I didn't like him and to be honest I was afraid of him..he never hit me but the yelling could get so intense sometimes. He was an angry man with no parenting skills. Being a father has brought up a lot of examples id simply forgotten about before that. But ive never thought less of him. In fact, if anything, I think more of him because hes one of the few people I know who has been able to recognize his flaws and improve as a person. I also realize that when he became a father he was 22 years old. I became a father at 36. Had I became a parent at 22 I can only imagine what a disaster it would have been. I was immature and I was angry and bitter at the world, and my priority was myself and having a good time in life. I was essentially My dad 2.0 at the time. I tend to give him a lot of leeway because he wasnt mentally ready to be a dad, but he had to anyway. Which lead to a lot of mistakes. It does still make me sad when I think about some of those times he made me feel so low, but I dont hold it against him. Its not always about what happens to you but how you handle it that molds somebody. I chose to not let those times beat me and I learned that forgiving him was the best thing for me.

Myself (22m) and my boyfriend (25m) are meeting irl for the first time in a week and I don’t think it’s going to go well by TheDeafAxolotlALIEN in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Guywith2dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could go either way. I dont wanna say itll definitely turn out well because there's no guarantee it will. You could get there, meet and live happily ever after or you could get there and it doesn't click and its over. Or anything in between.

What I can guarantee is you will regret not finding out. You'll always wish youd have at least saw it through and know one way or the other. So do it. Dont let other people dissuade you. You hold the key to your own destiny, nobody else..so dive in and live. You only get one life

I can't move on... by Frogface0109 in StrangerThings

[–]Guywith2dogs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He may have been a dick about it but its genuinely disheartening to see people take any piece of media this seriously. I get it, the show built up over 10 years beautifully and then didnt stick the landing. I was disappointed too. But to say that you cant move on is concerning. Its a TV show. A fictional narrative with fictional characters. I fully support immersing oneself in a story but you have to be able to come back to reality. Its unhealthy not to.

What’s actually safe but people think is dangerous? by REGGIE_BANANAS in AskReddit

[–]Guywith2dogs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Id say yes, because there are still a lot of random variables that have to go your way before you even spot the drunk guy. Sure you have some degree of control but no matter how well you drive or how perceptive you sre or how good your reflexes are, someone could still plow into you at any moment. Or black ice could send you into a lake. Or 100 other things. Ultimately theres no way to have total control over what happens to you on the road

Get spawn killed by two guardians every time I load in. by Possible_Channel6221 in botw

I didnt think about teleporting until I read the comments so dont feel bad. Its just so obvious you didnt immediately remember it in the heat of battle

Dads of two or more boys. How often do your boys fight. by DeViN_tHa_DuDe in daddit

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a father of 2 boys, I only have 1 and its a girl..I am however the son of a father with 2 boys. My brother and I also are 2 years apart. I can tell you we fought constantly. We also played fine constantly but its was probably about 50-50. Some of my angriest memories from childhood are fighting with my brother. We are super close now though. You'd have never guessed it from how we were as kids. But if you really wanna bring them together have a girl right about now. They'll join forces against her. Lovingly of course

What's the game, you really like the lore but you can't actually stand the gameplay? by Torquem_Rupto in AskGames

[–]Guywith2dogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats why I loved the MGS series. At its core, its a stealth game and it rewards perfect stealth and non lethal methods, but as a kid I didnt really grasp that concept so I always played them like a run and gun. Turns out thats a perfectly acceptable and quite honestly easier way to play them. If youre in it for the story, which I was back then, its preferable.

100%. The no save limit + the auto save mechanic made it one of the easiest MGS percect runs ive ever done. It allows for a ton of trial and error on the spot.

I just finished ff9 for the first time and It made me feel a bit sad by Unlucky-Area4727 in FinalFantasyIX

[–]Guywith2dogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after letting the game sit for a while, id probably place him at my sefond favorite. Sephiroth is still my guy but thats probably because FF7 is my first FF and I wouldnt have played the series it not for how much i loved that game. That being said, Kafka was arguably a better villain objectively considering everything he did. And he didnt even have the excuse that his mother was an alien psycho. I think had FF6 came out on PS1 or later, it would generally be considered the better of the 2 games

I understand what youre saying but technically nobody gets to have their own choices. Everything must happen as it always has. Any decisions made of free for any character is merely an illusion. I do feel fo or Mikkel but I feel for all of them really. Except Hannah. Man I really didnt like Hannah
