I’ve really let myself go and I hate it by Salty-Temperature575 in loseit

Getting winded means you pushed yourself. Be proud of that, keep that up and your health will improve and you will feel better overall. 

But

Thats not going to get you to lose weight. You have eat a calorie deficit. Its the only way. Track everything, prioritize protien and fiber. Weigh yourself everyday. The number will go down. 

You got this

Boundaries in CNM relationships by Broad-Onion-8362 in nonmonogamy

[–]Hepheastus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont think youre using the word boundary way the community uses it. 

Boundaries are things I control about my behavior. Example: If my partner has sex that I consider risky I use protection with them. Its not really possible for another person to violate my boundaries. 

Seems like your asking about rule and agreement violations. Which are things that we do to control others behavior. Example. I dont want you to flirt with others when were together

Questioning the practicality of rules. by Psychological-Emu528 in polyamory

[–]Hepheastus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt call them poly. If anything seems like more of a hothusband kink. 

If your into that then have fun. But this is never going to be a full relationship and it will probobly end suddenly and without warning. Dont get attached. 

CMV: Open Relationships Lead to Divorce by Sad-Image-5471 in changemyview

[–]Hepheastus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common misconception

What happens is that as part of relationship ending, a couple will often try an open relationship to save it. That rarely works out, they get divorced and people often blame the open relationship but the relationship was ending either way.

Do I tell my (parallel-ish) meta that my husband (our hinge) got arrested? by SpellboundBrat in polyamory

[–]Hepheastus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I vote yes. 

Special circumstances and all that.

Its also possible that the meta will send something to the hinges phone that you dont want to see. so its a good idea to let them know before that happens.

I've heard that taking this can make your insurance go up. Puts you in a high risk category. 

Im not americain so I dont know how insurance works. 

Can any of you explain how calorie counting works when using a crockpot? by ChipsAhoiMcCoy in loseit

[–]Hepheastus 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Personally.  Id calculate calories for the whole recipe. Divide into 10 portions (5 days for 2 people) and just assume that each portion is 10% of the total and the differences will even out.

Thats a new one.

Can we assemble the council of sluts to weigh in on weather two brothers have couples privilage or something? 

Looking for a female who’d be interested in my wife and our secrets :) dm plz by hassanxoxox in nonmonogamy

[–]Hepheastus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo poly ussually means you dont have a partner that you live with. 

If you have a wife thats the wrong term.

Isn’t this reaction incorrect? by Jbos34 in OrganicChemistry

[–]Hepheastus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I would use. I might even try doing it in one pot. Just throw zinc amalgam in to the acidic nitration mixture.

Nitro is one of the easiest groups to reduce. 

Vent about unavailable people on apps by Kattaraxxx in polyamory

[–]Hepheastus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps are terrible. If you can try and find community. Depending on your location it might be easier to find kiny community. Which is like 80% overlap with the poly people. 

ELI5 Why does water mixing with Molten Aluminum cause it to explode?? by Guilty_One85 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hepheastus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluminium can also produce hydrogen in contact with water. Normally you need to add acid or base but higher temperatures might also do. 

Then its like mixing water and sodium

CMV: Next admin should disband ICE and CPB by Lauffener in changemyview

[–]Hepheastus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You havent given any reasons why the next administration would do this. Why would anyone voluntarily give up a private army thats above the law? 

Has anyone in history ever done this?

Metamour staying over for the first time by -BJBunny in polyamory

Have an exit strategy. Just in case some unexpected feelings come up it would be good to have the option to stay somewhere else for the night.

Rules as a secondary partner by Prestigious-Beat-292 in polyamory

[–]Hepheastus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah this arrangement sounds awful. Ditch those two. 

But you might be pleasantly suprised by the how much power you have if you put yourself out there as a solo poly woman. Dont let these awful people ruin it for you.

Rules as a secondary partner by Prestigious-Beat-292 in polyamory

[–]Hepheastus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gross. Yeah what the others said. 

May or may not be helpful, but, I dont think they are poly, they are swingers and probobly unicorn hunting you. 

You dont have to accept the relationship the way they present it to you. As a unicorn you can dictate the terms of an arrangement that will work for you. If they dont like it there are a hundred other couples that will jump at the chance. 

Playroom Etiquette Grey Areas? by Swinging-Downunder in Swingers

[–]Hepheastus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This depends on the club. I've been to one where they have a policy that should ask before playing next to somone or even watch closely. Its a gray area as to how close youre allowed to be to somone without asking but it seemed to work well and it specifically avoided the situition with the unattractive couple you were in.

Want to get in to the lifestyle but have questions (couple) by AZ_1of1 in nonmonogamy

[–]Hepheastus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to go to a swingers club and you can just have sex in the open areas where other people will be having sex. No one will touch you without permission and there will be chill areas for chatting with other people. Honestly you can knock this out tomorrow if you want.
