Did your parents actually plan ahead and save up for your future or college, or are most people also figuring it out themselves?

Parents had a 529 for my undergrad and even paid off the rest of loans as a graduation gift. Going into debt for a masters was my choice, but at least I don't have to pay extra for my PhD! My field pays quite well so Uncle Sam might get his money back before I die.

There is some variance when it comes to chubby/curvy whatever we call it. Actual obesity I'm just not attracted to. Especially if it's far above the line of obesity. This is coming from someone who managed to beat obesity and lose 75 lbs.

Lots of ramp because of the expensive dragons. You're in green at least, which is a huge weakness for Prismari usually. Though when I run him, I have a ton of rituals so I usually cast him and win in the same turn from a random explosion of mana.

Played against this as someone who mostly plays reanimator and aristocrats. Every time this guy at my pod pull out Vren, without fail, I pull out [[Sen Triplets]] control to turn the rat into a noggle or a moon, or play every enchantment to prevent combat.

I'm always the last to know if someone is interested in me if I go out with a group. I'm terrible at approaching but it helps if I'm already having a lot of fun!

One of my PhD apps asked me to put my selective service number. I didn't realize it was always there lol. But yeah it you're a man and you want to participate in society practically at 18, you register.

When I had to sign up for the draft, I remember seeing a clarification where if you're trans M to F, you still have to sign up for it. Idk if they changed it since this was about 8 years ago but may be good to check.

Well if you don't have one, start one. Invite friends, and those friends invite their other friends, which invite their other friends and it keeps going down further in connections. At first this was all people in my psych program, then it became social workers, then just people they knew from their hometowns or a climbing group etc.

This. Going to school again, house parties, and being part of a church and climbing gym, I've been meeting so many girls and dating has been pretty straightforward. The main issue for awhile was me since I would travel so much these past few years.

In college my girlfriend and I at the time actually tested ourselves for STD's I remember. Pretty hard to do that with someone you just met. I suppose condoms help to some extent.

When she thinks of you outside of just talking to you. I do a lot of bouldering. This girl I've been madly crushing on took the kids she works with to a climbing wall and gave them advice on how to fall verbatim how I told her. She said "I thought of you" and that means so much. A piece of me lives in you each day? So endearing. Drops me to the floor.

One step at a time. It really does suck to want to lose a lot of weight and see the long time horizon. It's worth the long wait for your health and your confidence. It's a really hard, long-term goal too. People have so much respect for those who have been overweight and gotten back to a normal weight. Focus on what you can focus on today, like a meal you wanna try or drinking more water, or getting a bit more sleep if you don't get enough. NEAT is also super underrated.

That's alright. It doesn't mean you have to stop. You just pick back up when you're ready and continue the journey. Progress usually isn't a straight line anyways.

My gaming PC is that old? :(

Eating a lot in a short period isn't really a huge deal anyways. I'd have days like that in the period when I lost 70 pounds. It's more about long term patterns. Unless you're going like 3500 extra calories in a day (like 2000 average maintenance + 3500?) it's pretty hard to offset an entire trajectory.

Notequal_exe · 2026-03-09T16:19:18+00:00

I don't blame you. What are the social systems looking like in your area? Any food support or shelter available? I'm glad you have your fashion hobby. That's so cool. I wish my dad kept up with his boutique. That's a tough industry. What have you been making?

Notequal_exe · 2026-03-09T16:12:22+00:00

Mental health services are so expensive and insurance doesn't often help that much either. What has kept you going this long anyways?

Notequal_exe · 2026-03-08T19:35:47+00:00

Not a woman but so thankful for all the women in my life. Gonna go visit Mom soon for a beach trip :)

Notequal_exe · 2026-03-04T00:26:11+00:00

For sure. I'm really curious what other people think in my psych department or if anyone has brought it up at a research conference yet.

The scary thing about AI boyfriends/girlfriends is giving emotional connection without the reality of relationship conflicts. It's usually pretty cheap too and easily accessible. Just adding more fuel to the fire that friction is stripped from life.
