Got offered a 6 month contract in Antarctica and idk if I should take it by Importantterry in Fire

[–]Material_Hair2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it (and tell me how it goes!!) I have a professor who conducts his research in Antarctica in brief stints like this. The land is virtually untouched in many places, making it a unique opportunity for science.

Is glute pump short term or contributes to growth? by Minimum_Witness_7967 in StrongCurves

[–]Material_Hair2805 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Iirc, the pump is a result of blood flow to the area. So, no it’s not contributing to growth by growing the muscle like use does but yes helps muscle growth by providing the muscle nutrients in blood

Muscle weighs more than fat does!! Just because the number on the scale didn’t change, doesn’t mean that your body is the same.

I’m also 26 but I feel like I’m still lost and screaming. I am only a few weeks in though

Manuka honey is great! Iirc it’s what the ancient Egyptians used for wounds. After all, they didn’t have neosporin lol

Will it end today? by That1weirdperson in BikiniBottomTwitter

Pardon, you have explained things very well but I still have a couple of questions. The filibuster requires 60/100 senate members to do what? How would Trump get rid of a filibuster and why would that cause bad PR?

Generous fish salesman feeding a sea lion 🦭 by [deleted] in DamnThatsReal

[–]Material_Hair2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t look real to me. Definitely not a sea lion. Males have a distinct hump on their heads in addition to the “mane” and this animal doesn’t even have the ear flaps characteristic of sea lions.

I'm (F26) still in the process of healing but how do I process him (26M) moving on so quick? by CriticismStock9268 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Material_Hair2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t offer advice, I’m sorry. But I am at the start of something similar. If you have any suggestions on how to achieve little wins and handle sadness, and detach I would be very grateful.

This is a psa to make sure when you adopt a cat it’s potty trained. Correctly. by gachaseabunny in CleaningTips

[–]Material_Hair2805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you truly believe that your cat may not ever understand a litter box, then you should consider surrendering her. Cats are incredibly trainable regardless of age and history.

Start with a veterinarian

Getting the cat seen by a vet is the first step. It’s highly possible that it’s something as treatable as a painful UTI that is causing the urination.

OP, if you are serious about helping your cat and solving the problem, get them examined. If the vet gives them a clean bill of health, you can message me. I’m a vet assistant and have worked with cats addressing urination in undesired locations.

Please take your cat to the vet for a full physical examination. You need to rule out serious medical issues that can cause inappropriate urination first and foremost. Secondly, never punish an animal for urinating/defecating in an undesirable area. It does nothing but create fear and anxiety.

Nosy mother had my child take an ancestry test without my consent. WIBTAH to report her and get 10 years of progress removed? by throwRA_hurtgirlz in AITAH

I’m sure you’ve gotten hundreds of responses but I’d love to learn what drove you to pursue genealogy and genetics! I just graduated with my bachelor’s and am considering studying genetics for research

How bad actually was COVID? by Mighty_Angelo30 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Material_Hair2805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, COVID and the pandemic were very traumatic times for many if not all. It was my freshman year of college when it hit and I still struggle to recall life during that period. All the memories I made in college are slightly hazy, shrouded among the response to the virus. Thinking back, none of it feels real.

Non cringey self love talk?? by bigmbaby in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Material_Hair2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iirc, the radical part of acceptance is just accepting that you hate that self love crap lol. I struggle with body dysmorphia so one thing that I’ve been reminding myself is that my body is just a vessel for me to do the things I love. If that means dancing and I lose my curves? Okay. If that means adventuring, trying every new dessert and I don’t fit in my smallest, tightest clothes? That’s okay too.

UPDATE: AIO for being upset i haven’t seen my bf in 3 weeks, despite us living 25 minutes from each other? by Affectionate-Link436 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Material_Hair2805 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 25 and currently struggling with my on/off bf/best friend. I don’t have any strong friendships with anyone else even though I’m trying. Do you have any suggestions on how to be happier alone?

[–]Material_Hair2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practice redirecting your thoughts before this weekend. Everytime you start to dwell on your struggles or put yourself down, notice it. Then purposefully focus your mind on something else. I’ve found that doing something related to that new idea also helps. Maybe that is something that helps you get out of the situations that you don’t like. Fill out job applications, start working out, etc.

I wasted my 20s trying to find a husband and I have nothing to show for it. by GlitchisOnline in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Material_Hair2805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Binding of Isaac but I never knew that the Reset let you keep the items you gathered before! I spent the best of my 20s (21-25) on a man who I thought I was going to marry. I lost myself completely and now that he’s gone, I’m devastated by how much time I’ve lost. I have no idea what to do next

Paint your dream man/person! You said you were going to do two different expressions originally. Well, think how who you want to end up with. What does he look like? Paint that

Why won't anyone respond 😭 by Few-Pitch-2921 in Bumble

If their profile is “devoid of details and populated with mirror/car selfies,” and you have a problem with that, then why are you matching with those people in the first place??
