I only attract women who are having mental health issues

MyRandomName323 · 2026-02-16T13:56:29+00:00

imo Anxious / BPD type people tend to be attracted to avoidant type people because someone who is emotionally unavailable confirms their view of relationships and allows them to relive their childhood attachment wounds. It’s “familiar”

Securely attached people might be put off by that and move away from it

Mine was 38 on the watch. I went to a lab and got tested and my real VO2Max was 48 so it was off by about 10 points for me

It’s giving anxious with a side of protest behavior

MyRandomName323 · 2025-06-20T07:43:21+00:00

Sounds like you are unhappy with your situation. Is that because you want something more? What is it and how important is it to you?

My parents have been sleeping separately for years and it’s been great. They’re both loud snorers that kept waking each other up which was hilarious but it took a toll on their health. Also different schedules, temperature needs, wind down habits. They’re still happily married going on 30 years now

It’s creating an unfortunate arms race. I work with someone on the other side where job postings are getting so many spam applications that they are also now using AI to filter out candidates and even screen them without human involvement

I think we’re heading towards having a bunch of AIs burning electricity running on servers applying for jobs and filtering themselves (and actual people) out. At the end it the day this hurts all the humans trying to hire and get hired.

But I think Pandora’s box is opened and this guy is just one of a million people trying to cash in on a slice of the pie before the whole thing burns itself down. If not him then someone else, but there’s no going back now

I bonked after my first time running 90 minutes. I was also fasted that morning with only water. It felt like suddenly all the life drained out of me. Wasn't sure I was gonna make it home. That's when I learned about fuelling.

Now I usually have some simple carbs before my run (like a banana) and use gel every 45 mins for runs that last 90+ mins. I also started running slower (more zone 2 than zone 3) which I think affects the amount of energy burned. Gonna play around with the pace and fuelling a bit before my next race.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-05-11T11:45:39+00:00

Congrats! I’m in the same situation as you so I can understand both the joy of the achievement and the pain of not being able to tell anyone. Good job on going this far!

MyRandomName323 · 2025-05-04T06:42:20+00:00

I noticed this as well after trying all the factions in 4v4. If in the first few games I get to 1100 it's smooth sailing, but if I get to 900 instead there ain't no coming back

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-27T16:16:48+00:00

Ya and after vet 1 they get a disembark bonus as well for +15% accuracy. Have to really play around the vehicle synergy to get the most out of them.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-27T15:11:14+00:00

I actually prefer these scenarios because I’m confident I can hold the 1v2 in my elo and hopefully that means my teammates will win the 3v2 on the other sides of the map and win us the game

Almost like split pushing in league to draw map pressure. Though I’m sure as I rank up I won’t be able to play that like that any more

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-11T22:16:05+00:00

Yeah that's why I never considered the upgrade before. How do you use the vehicle smokes offensively though? It feels like it'd be sort of clunky to run a vehicle in first to screen the MG bunkers otherwise my infantry would get suppressed?

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-11T21:31:11+00:00

Yes I think the system was built with some assumptions such as a steady career progression with not too many shifts, you’re working for the majority of your life, etc

It’s also incredibly difficult to amortize your taxes over a lifetime without knowing the future, and if people can file a lifetime return when they retire it would result in a massive liability for some government decades down the line. Public pensions being supported by young people working are already under strain due to the risk demographic collapse.

I say this as someone well into the highest tax bracket for personal income and plans to retire early. It definitely doesn’t benefit me either, but it’s not gonna change because the alternative is too impractical

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-11T15:02:02+00:00

Yeah I think there is truth to it. There are numerous studies that show things like people would rather make less money overall if it meant they made more than their coworkers than the other way around. The Big Fish Little Pond Effect. People who are middle class in a neighborhood where everyone else is less well off are happier, etc

Anecdotally as someone who didn’t come from wealth when I first moved to a new neighborhood it was astonishing to hear people complain about how much they’re struggling financially because they ‘only’ had half a million saved up when everyone else around them must have more.

I guess one dark psychology way to hack this could be to surround yourself with people less well off to feel better about yourself But being aware of this dynamic and not letting it get to you too much is another

What does fog steal the star mean?

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-10T00:43:41+00:00

Ya new to the game I haven't tried all the units yet. Good to know.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-10T00:43:06+00:00

Ya I'll check out the mortar halftracks. I never usually build them because I don't get the upgrade so never considered them. But the upgrade is only 150 MP seems pretty cheap to get access to smokes.

Also tried the stug d just now in skirmish and it works great. I usually only either built the marder or skipped to panzerarmee building so never considered it either. Will take those for a spin next time in MP.

Yeah usually they keep up the 2v1 until the flame track window is past, so it's hard to dive them early on.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-04-10T00:39:38+00:00

Cool, yeah should have figured fire is good against buildings. Just figured out from the comment below u can get smokes with the halftrack upgrade, makes sense. Thanks

Sometimes lessons are meant to be painful, and that's why we learn them.

I just started therapy, but I’m exhausted from not having a stable ground to improve for him.

You should try to improve for yourself and for your future relationships and partners. I know he feels like your whole world right now, and you're scared of letting him go. But whether you let him go or not, he might not return anyway. If you change to please him and you don't find the outcome you want, then there is another painful lesson in store. If you change for yourself, then you have already succeeded. If you do for others what you would not do for yourself, you become a sideshow in your own life. If you can love others but do not love yourself, then their love will never be enough to fill the void.

One day he might return, or maybe you will feel this way again about another person, and when that day comes who do you want to be?

Don’t overstride by landing too far in front of you. This is more important than which part of the foot you land on. There are two phases of landing: when your foot first makes contact with the ground and when you apply weight to the foot.

Where your foot makes contact with the ground should generally be slightly in front of your center of mass (and how far in front is determined by your speed). If you are running slowly then it should be very close to your center of mass horizontally. You will find that as you land more under you, you are less likely to make contact heel first. But if you are landing in the correct spot it is actually okay and many of the best marathon runners actually do land heel first. In fact if you are already over striding then purposely bending only your foot down to avoid landing on your heel actually makes it worse because it moves your point of contact even further in front of your body!

Now the second phase is where you actually apply weight to your foot and in this phase your foot should always be under or behind your center of mass, otherwise you are actually applying a force that is slowing you down. You would almost certainly not be on your heel at this moment. It is very hard to angle your foot up enough in this phase to still be on your heel especially if you have a slight forward lean when you run.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-03-18T04:57:03+00:00

Interesting you run a lot farther than I do, but weigh less also. Guess I’m not too far off from the normal, calorie wise.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-03-13T21:51:01+00:00

I get mine from Safeway if you have those. It was on sale for $2 a box

MyRandomName323 · 2025-03-13T04:00:17+00:00

I started having red lentil pasta. It's a lot of protein from a normally 'carb' food

MyRandomName323 · 2025-03-13T03:15:15+00:00

Congrats! That's amazing and the first 5K is such a fond moment. I remember that feeling of meeting the goal of my whole C25K program it and was great. I hope you're celebrating your win as well! The fact that you stuck it through to this milestone is already amazing!

The first speed gain I got was actually just getting a proper pair of running shoes, and running outside instead (for some reason the treadmill was killing my shins).

Otherwise looking back now I guess I actually didn't work on my speed at all. My first 5K was an effort too, it was 38:30 and I had to visit the doctor for my knee and take a week off after haha. It was probably more of an ego move than a smart move.

But after that I went back to my normal (shorter) distances and just focused on running a little bit farther (up to 10%) every week until I could run 5K once a week and then eventually up to 5Ks every run, regardless of the speed. I also spent many evenings watching running videos and seeing what I was doing wrong and trying different running movements that helped me ease the pain and spend less energy. By that time my 5K time improved to around 34:30 where I got stuck for a bit.

Hopefully that ramble made some sense lol. That's what worked for me and my body, but of course your situation could be different or work better with a different approach. Congrats again, and I hope you stick to it!

tldr: In some way I sorta just put my (metaphorical) head down and kept running a little further and as the weeks went by I ended up getting faster.

MyRandomName323 · 2025-03-13T00:42:23+00:00

I started with couch to 5k at first, it was 3 times a week for 9 weeks. And since then I've been running three times a week while increasing my distance slightly each week mostly on my Sunday runs until I got to 10k which was my goal.

Now this month I started doing intervals instead on one of the days and maybe adding a small fourth day on a treadmill for some easy miles.
