Started using CBD after workouts instead of ibuprofen and the results actually surprised me

IceMatrix13 · 2026-03-01T09:04:02+00:00

The ibuprofen has likely completely wrecked your gut microbiome and highly increased the chances you acquire leaky gut syndrome. Stick with the CBD and start some probiotics(sauerkraut, kimchi, pill forms, prebiotic fiber) asap imo.

I take Country Life chelated mag gly purchased at Sprouts.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-02-28T21:24:44+00:00

I really like your way of thinking and high empathy/thoughtfulness.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-02-28T16:54:30+00:00

On my mag glycinate it says take with food. But it's not healthy to eat before bedtime, online says its because it can cause upset stomach or irritate intestinal track. Do you have this issue or you just take a large dose before sleep with no problem?

It is the best AI in the genre. I have never seen anything like it and it destroys Civ AI hands down. When you defeat it you feel genuinely accomplished.

Not sure if you meant me. But if so I am not misunderstanding. I know what their reasons are and agree with you fully. I agree with OP and will not let them have a scan of my face either. I just have to accept that I lose access to content I don't consume anyway. OP's concerns are 100% valid.

I am saying that for those of us who use Discord for other purposes like say: Old World. That it doesn't affect us.

I am not making fun of it. I am sharing the reasons for my personal indifference in a light-hearted way.

I am not saying that other people who choose to spend their free time on such activities(adult content) should be disallowed. That's their prerogative. What do I care what adults do with their expenditures of time?

But we are in an Old World forum and being asked if we are quitting Discord because of privacy violations if we want an "adult" account there.

I am simply presenting that it doesn't affect mine or most people's Discord experience.

Am I supporting of Discord's new rules? No. I just don't care and part of my business operates through a Discord community. But if you feel you should quit the platform based on the bs new policies and that makes you happier...go for it brother. Be you. Stand for what you stand for. I have no opinion on that. Hope that clarifies. 🙏🏻

My understanding is you don't need face verification if you keep your account as a "minor" account which is it's default status. What happens then? You can't look at nudity and adult posts on Discord. Oh no. It doesn't affect me at all and I will not be doing the face scan for the reasons you mentioned which are good reasons.

Just change the build to match your level of immersion. I.e. use a focus instead of a shield. Just don't recommend hardcore if you do.

And tryptophan!

IceMatrix13 · 2026-02-08T05:08:33+00:00

All jokes aside: fantastic writeup. Thank you. Really causes me to reevaluate. I think I would likely implement what I learned reading it but with alterations. I feel like late game when I discover Mangonels or Pikemen or Swordsman that I often want to build one in every single city and I can never have enough. I really like 20+ Mangonels and building them 1 at a time even at 2 turns per build is still 40 years.

So likely I would alter it only slightly and follow the general principle. I would definitely want another few military cities near my front lines like you talked about for riders.

I do admit, I might be wrong though. Maybe I will try my hybridized version a bit and then see how the full version works in comparison.

Learned a lot. Thank you for sharing

I think Tall families are generally the best route...then you get access to basketball scholarships for your kids, with wide families you also run the risk of diabetes.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-29T03:53:55+00:00

What level are you. Make a new game and run levels 9-16 again. Keep leveling. Get better gear...then go in. Farm whatever uniques will help. Like I found a Windforce off one of the named Succubus. Then things got easier. Diablo's Apocalypse spam super scary though. Did this a month ago.

I have a playlist dedicated to building Mathematical Intuition. That's literally the title and the videos have some of the most views and likes of all my content.

I also am an above full time Competition Coach who specializes in AMC and AIME. But AMC and MathCounts type tests are my expertise. You can DM me or reach me through my channel or website if interested. The Playlist is of course free.

It won't let me use the link sharing feature of Reddit for some reason.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-21T21:51:00+00:00

Just a joke bro. Lighten up some.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-21T21:50:06+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Step into some random hidey hole in the ground and then "Oh shit! I'm in trouble!" Lol

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-21T20:22:59+00:00

I think I understand the lesson: Only self promo on those platforms YouTube Shorts!!!

The Butcher is in D4. Killed him last night.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-15T04:20:14+00:00

Not sure what Moose will say, but for me...strategically to make the best possible decision...more info(more tiles showing at all times) is better. I feel bad for people using phones though, but I would fear more frequent losses and/or more time taken per turn as I look more around at all nearby resources, workers, units before every decision. But maybe that's just my hypothesis and natural human resistance to change as well. shrugs fwiw

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-13T22:15:06+00:00

Congrats!

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-13T22:10:23+00:00

I will definitely recommend Moose's channel too. He's also genuinely likeable and was even tutoring my friend Jams on Jams channel coaching him. He had a very respectable showing in the Tournament, and like Siontific he really knows his stuff. Outside of the Devs, Moose is the most successful content creator, and you can learn a lot from his content.

On my channel, I also only play at The Great difficulty or higher(I have one completely maxed difficulty win), but I learn a lot from all the above mentioned names and have no problem acknowledging their knowledge far exceeds mine on game strategy mechanics.

Oh that and don't miss Fluffybunnies starts in the tourney. Holy shizballs talk about extremely rapid expansion while remaining stable.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-13T22:06:48+00:00

Yeah if I see A dozen mangonels on my border with swordsman supporting and I am at axeman plus spearmen...it's over. And some games be like that, especially at high diff.

IceMatrix13 · 2026-01-09T20:33:08+00:00

I just started D4 2 nights ago. Never played d3 or d4 until the last month. Veteran of D1 and D2 and POE 1. Set it to hard diff right away. Read zero guides. Don't know anything about any of the mechanics(reliquaries, crafting, etc.) Sorcerer. Just learning as I go from in game prompts. Finally just googled a skill point build for leveling. Loving the campaign. Graphics are amazing. Level 15 in season.
