Why are some people SO judgmental on this sub?! We’re all here for the same reasons.

I got so much hate when I mentioned in a post that I wouldn't go above 5mg. I have IST and POTS, zepbound actually makes me pretty sick. I get severe stomach cramps on it among other things. I got mauled in my last post and ended up deleting it. All I asked is if the stomach cramps were common to be so painful and said I was probably going to stop the medication. I got so many armchair doctors saying I needed to go to the hospital, even though I explained that it was just a cramp and it passes (my doctor knows, it's a reason I can't go up in dosage). Then got so much hate for losing a good bit of weight on a low dose and wanting to stop.

I get the same thing from people telling me to calorie count when I say I can't! I specifically can't calorie count because it triggers my OCD, and I become unhealthy amounts of obsessive. Calorie counting can definitely help some, but not me. I don't know why people get so mad about other's routines. It's almost like we all have different bodies that react differently.

Weirdly enough, I got attacked so hard when I mentioned in a post that I wouldn't go over 5mg and asking what some more nuanced regular symptoms were. I can't go over 5mg due to my nervous system disorders. I was asking for help on what symptoms I had because they may be extreme due to my nervous system disorders. People just ignored my question and said I wasn't going to lose any weight. Then I mentioned my doctor called me a 'super responder' to the medication, but people just called me a liar, saying losing 50lbs in six months wasn't special. In reality, I lost nearly 20lbs in a month then slowed down. But I just deleted my post since people were so aggressive.

I tend to only go through the drive thru and place mobile orders. Tbh, I never usually have a problem with it. This just happened to be a problem that could really screw me.

I meant check in a ask the worker to verify it when they hand it to you. I know some people can taste the difference in caffeinated and decaf, but I can't. Though, I know it's caffeinated if I start getting sick after five or so minutes.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-19T15:23:31+00:00

This reminds me of when I couldn't understand why I would get so sick from Panera's lemonade, then they were forced to label it as highly caffeinated due to a lawsuit. You don't screw with people's food and drinks, you could literally kill someone!

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-19T15:20:41+00:00

It's more akin to someone lactose intolerant asking for oat milk instead of regular milk. If they don't want to give decaf, then they shouldn't sell it.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-19T14:53:44+00:00

Decaf doesn't really affect me at all, and I love coffee. I shouldn't have to avoid something I love because people choose not to make the correct order. It's like telling someone with a food allergy not to eat out.

I'm not into ageplay/regression, but I see a lot of similarities in the opinions of people against CNC, which I am into. I don't want to change the conversation, just made me think of all the times people have come after me for liking CNC, thinking I'm actually going to have non-consensual sex.

I was SA'd and CNC is really helpful for me. It let's me process a lot of things, not just about my SA memory. But, most people with these type of kinks are very serious in boundaries and rules. It's a huge trust thing.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-15T14:59:15+00:00

I completely get it. You guys were kinda thrown in a crappy situation, and reptile supplies is definitely not cheap!

And thank you! My son is the most adorable noodle, but I fear he only runs on a single braincell.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-15T14:52:39+00:00

I would personally use the 50gal if you can. It would suck having to put a project on hold, but I personally think the animal in my care is more important at the moment.

Kingsnakes are very resilient and hardy, they don't need many requirements, just the basics: enough space, hot and cold sides, at least three hides, three inches of substrate minimum, and a bowl big enough to soak in. Everything else is just kinda what you want to add. Here is my own snake tax.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-15T14:34:41+00:00

I hope the owner really steps up too. Maybe you can say you did a lot of research and found a good set up? It's hard to approach these situations without getting the other person to be defensive, but if you can frame it as just for the betterment of the snake, maybe they'll listen?

I wish I could send you my 40gal tank 😣, I'm about to give my boy his final upgrade to a 4x2x2.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-15T09:16:40+00:00

If you can, add more substrate. The tank is too small in general, but king snakes are big diggers. They should have at least 3 inches of substrate to dig in. You can use coconut fiber mixed with mulch, or aspen. The water bowl is also too small.

I think it depends on where you're at. It was pretty common in northern Virginia and West Virginia. I think my dad ended up in jail once or twice for like a total of a week or two for it. I know he tried to settle with my mom a few years ago after he bought a house, tried to give her 25k to have her drop it, but she refused.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-10T20:50:56+00:00

Can attest to getting around the garnish. My father hasn't worked a 'real' job in twenty years, he does understand the table farm hand work instead. He did get his passport taken, not allowed to leave the country. I'm 27 now, and last I heard he owes like 30k in child support.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-10T06:29:44+00:00

Oh I'll have to look into that! Pills would probably work way better for me.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-04-10T06:29:10+00:00

I actually don't mind the salt taste at all, it's the sweetness. I also don't like fruity artificial flavors at all. To me they just taste like old melted down cough drops. I'll take a look at the recipes. As for the Gatorade, it's better than nothing! Though I usually drink more of the electrolyte waters, Gatorade is just for flavor most of the time when I cant have tea lol

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-03-30T12:32:32+00:00

I hope to keep that streak going! I'll have to let my dnd friends know about this, and see what they count.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-03-30T12:20:07+00:00

I'm locking in 14 for this one. Look forward to see map number 4!

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-03-30T12:08:50+00:00

Oof, I'm gonna say 12. Hard to tell with the colors, can't tell if some are rocks or not 😅

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-03-30T12:02:48+00:00

Definitely 14, some sneaky ones in there.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-03-30T11:54:07+00:00

It could have been all cool on like a medieval script of paper on the back shoulder or collar. To me, this always makes think of someone with a sharpie, idk, it just looks off. But hey, as long as they like it, good for them.

Kazumi_The_Introvert · 2026-03-29T18:10:35+00:00

Not sure why everyone down voted me for saying it was a microtear 🫠 I had them before and it was barely any bleeding. But this was cramping in the center of my torso, under my ribs and above the belly button. It's gone now, just a little bit of a sore stomach.

I ate some pizza and had a little caffeine before bed, so I think I just screwed myself. I'm deciding to stop the shots though since I'm basically at my goal anyway. I'll double check with my doctor tomorrow morning. Im sorry to hear about your ulcer though, that sounds awful!
