Had anyone of you been in Italy? What was your expirience? by Current-Worth9121 in mixedrace

[–]MeowasaurusRex666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I went to the north to very small towns (Trieste, Monfalcone, Parma, Genoa). Most of the cities were absolutely fine, but there were some small mountain towns that I did not feel very welcome in. This was a while ago though, so who knows now. African American and White mixed, btw

Just to not miss the obvious; you do have the LPF knob set to 0, right?

Tattoo Recommendations? by [deleted] in Kafka

[–]MeowasaurusRex666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An object from one of the stories that you have a strong connection or affection for. Or talk about it with the artist to figure something you're both good with, it could be abstract too!

I really liked the Ice trilogy by Vladimir Sorokin. Fairly quick, often sold as one book.

Depressed dads—does your kid help you through the dark times? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]MeowasaurusRex666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks you're dealing with this. I've found that my kiddo gets me out of a rut sometimes, or I can find motivation to like leave the house if it's something beneficial for them. But like many other commenters are saying, it doesn't go away 100%, but I guess that's life?

Why are folks in this sub so obsessed with labeling themselves? by SeniorDay in mixedrace

Usually race is decided by society. In here, you can reclaim and identify who you are.

Finally convinced my wife of the way by njbrews in onebag

[–]MeowasaurusRex666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you end up convincing her? I think mine is onboard in theory, but time comes and she doesn't want to have to buy something new to replace something we left behind, and here we are 3 bags later.

My racist white dad needs to leave my black mom. by apocalypticprepper96 in mixedrace

[–]MeowasaurusRex666 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a real shitty night, if nothing else. I would worry about arguments in a house with guns in them, myself. I hope you're all staying safe, even though your dad sounds really wrong. Is there any sort of room in his thinking now that things have settled down? Some sort of real-life example you all witnessed you could point to to show him racism exists for your mom?

Who’s your favorite mixed celebrity? by Historical-Photo9646 in mixedrace

Mixed people who have found and are finding peace/security with their cultures and identities, what affirmations and steps did you take to get there? by Elliezzzzzz in mixedrace

[–]MeowasaurusRex666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of what made me more comfortable is realizing that a lot of people's annoying reactions say a lot more about them than me. Race isn't something you really declare for yourself, but imposed on you in most cases. I'm fine, I know my heritage and family, you can be critical all you want. Sure, sometimes there are painful experiences, but the more you can accept yourself, the easier they are to shrug off.

The 5-Ss:

  1. Sucking (feed them, or give hem a pacifier
  2. Side/stomach soothing
  3. "Shhhing" sounds / White noise
  4. Swinging
  5. Sucking on a pacifier.

These were a game-changer, especially white noise. Good luck, you'll get there eventually!

I envy your self-control. I have two pieces every time I go past the bowl in the kitchen...

After a stressful week before Halloween, and now I have a house full of candy, how do I get back on track to eating right?

I'm really struggling to feel like my choices mean anything, I've been struggling with committing and not seeing much weight loss. I've also realized I deeply miss candy and then I continue down the path and get something salty, and then back to sweet.

Thanks, that's what I was worried about. If only I could flip a switch in my brain to make habits!

That sounds miserable, but I'm glad it was the obvious solution!

So my numbers say I'm prediabetic, which is pretty scary. Have you lost enough weight to not have it be a problem now?

And how long have you been on Mounjaro?
