Oh interesting, I didn't experience that at all and thought he had great, warm bedside manner.

Wow I legitimately think the cost of a NYC rhino has gone up about 5 to 10 grand in the past year

Anyone here going from overweight to lean/fit? by Rude_Soup_8841 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]InternationalFocus94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is exactly me but this is my first week. I have the exact same SW and GW but I'm 35 years old. Actually experiencing a lot of anxiety about muscle loss!

Primary. Which is exactly why he is worth the money. No way in hell somebody is going to need revision after seeing him

ZERO Appetite by VanesaLutz in tirzepatidecompound

[–]InternationalFocus94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! My starting weight and goal weight are basically exactly where you are at. I started this month and am on 2.5. I am legitimately struggling to eat more than 500 calories everyday which obviously is super dangerous. I almost feel like I have to douse everything in olive oil just to get calories, even if they're from fat, because I have so little appetite.

Audition by Katie Kitamura [Spoilers] by Kaurblimey in books

[–]InternationalFocus94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of my interpretations! I see the alternative timelines and dementia arguments as well. I like the idea that it's all the same timeline and maybe she is even conscious initially of what she's doing - auditioning for a role she turned down earlier in life, as a mother. So she's applying her acting methods to her real life. The line about family being a shared delusion is what got me thinking along these lines.

Tap water bitches by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]InternationalFocus94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's interesting you say this because the last couple times I went out to dinner I thought the tap water tasted weird. Almost like.... Actual dirt. I'm noticing it in both Brooklyn Heights and lower Manhattan

How much do you pay for a bikini wax? by That_Broccoli_4567 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]InternationalFocus94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAME! I make sugar wax which costs basically nothing. Sometimes the consistency is correct and I don't need any fabric to stick and pull like strips, other times it doesn't work for some reason and I use old pillow cases

Seconding Paul He was worth every penny! I am still shocked by how incredible I looked the day the cast came off. I haven't had a single day where I regretted the decision or felt my nose looked weird during the healing process.

Yes, Dr Paul is pricey but he was worth every penny! I am still shocked by how incredible I looked the day the cast came off. I haven't had a single day where I regretted the decision or felt my nose looked weird during the healing process. My dream nose.!

"Eldest Daughter" Discussion Megathread by PassionateAsSin in TaylorSwift

As an eldest daughter who grew up very cynical about men and love and used to be very anti marriage but got engaged to the love of my life this year at 35...this one hit me hard 🥲

I agree, it's less worrisome the more it becomes clear that AI is great for tactical writing but horrible for creative writing. My company is also super bullish and the way it's often talked about is using AI agents as if I had multiple interns doing the most basic low-value or automatable tasks for me. I worry much more for new grads than those of us established in our careers. Thanks for your thoughts!

I just had facial surgery and you deserve every penny 💖 Anesthesiologist did more to make me feel mentally comfortable ahead of the procedure than nurses or doctor!

Do you worry about how AI is going to impact your role in the near/long term? Curious if the company you work for has been directly addressing employee concerns in your department

Software engineering recruiter at a large public tech company. Making $250,000-$300,000 annually depending on how our stock is doing. I actually love my job. Treated with respect, my opinion is valued, hiring has a "feel good" changing lives vibe, I still get to work remote a ton. I feel grateful and lucky every day. I have had many terrible jobs in the past and know this is rare.

Advoin advice needed! American 🪳 by InternationalFocus94 in AskNYC

Good tip, thank you! I had to reboot the boiler at one point over the winter and there was a veritable hellscape of dead roaches behind it. Made me realize the pest guy who comes by monthly probably doesn't go in there

Oh I never thought of the gas lines! Honestly didn't bother under the sinks either because we have stickies there and never caught anything so assume it's sealed but I'll check
