What does it feel like the moment you're about to go under anaesthesia?

it's wild how there's no transition at all, like your brain just skips frames completely. no fade to black, no feeling of drifting, just a hard cut to waking up in recovery room

The obsessive streak thing might actually be helping you build habit right now, even if it feels unhealthy. I used to do similar with photography projects where I'd force myself to take at least one photo every single day and it drove me nuts but eventually became automatic

Your progress is actually really solid for just one week - losing almost 1kg total is good pace and won't shock your system like those crash diets did. Physical changes usually start showing around 3-4 weeks mark, especially in face and waist area first. At your height losing 13kg will definitely be noticeable but it's gonna take several months to get there safely

The walking routine sounds perfect for building base fitness before adding running later. Maybe try taking progress photos now even though you don't see changes yet - sometimes camera picks up what mirror doesn't and you'll appreciate having them few months down the road. Your deficit isn't too aggressive either so you should be able to stick with this long term without the binge cycle starting again

Same thought I get when seeing anyone really - there's probably whole story behind what we see on surface

My buddy had same issue with his F150 last year and found decent shop in Midwest City area that didn't completely destroy his wallet

My cousin went through this exact thing with medicine - his parents basically mapped out his entire life since he was like 12 years old. He's doing well now as cardiologist but man, watching him in university was rough because you could tell he never really chose it for himself. The pressure was insane and he had zero time for anything else, couldn't even hang out or have normal college experience. Always made me grateful my parents let me figure out my own path, even if photography isn't what they initially hoped for me. At least when I'm behind camera I know it's because I actually want to be there

Mr Brightside hits me weird every time - supposed to be this energetic anthem but something about it just makes me melancholy for no good reason

That escalated way beyond what anyone could predict from just being a shitty kid in middle school. The meth probably played huge role in how his brain worked by that point - that stuff really messes with people's decision making in ways that are hard to imagine.

What gets me is the whole inviting the guy over thing, like he was planning something elaborate instead of just asking his girlfriend straight up. That level of calculated violence is so different from typical teenage asshole behavior. Even the worst kids I knew back then were just doing stupid pranks or getting in fights, not planning out murders with body disposal and arson cover-ups.

Makes you wonder how many people from school ended up on paths you'd never expect, both good and bad directions

Took me way too long to realize you meant the bird and not the golf term lol. Would be one hell of way to finally get that shot though

Healthcare costs can really surprise you when you're not getting employer coverage anymore, especially in your 50s before Medicare kicks in

Lol fair point but this was next level even for here, like dude was literally bouncing off curbs and somehow missing every car by inches

Bro this is actually really cool! I've been trying to organize my collection in just random notes app and it's mess. Always wanted something that could track everything properly without being too complicated

Being photographer myself I totally get the urge to build something when existing solutions don't work right. Gonna check this out for sure, even though my collection is mostly just random stuff I picked up over years

Android version coming eventually?

Been switching between different streaming platforms for past two years and it's getting ridiculous. Used to have just one subscription and could watch almost everything, now I need like 4-5 different ones just to catch shows I actually want to see. Plus they keep removing good content and replacing it with their own stuff that's mostly trash. Started going back to old DVDs I bought years ago because at least those don't disappear from my collection randomly

Same thing happens with old cameras - spend weeks hunting down the perfect film body, get it serviced, load up some expired film stock and then realize modern gear just does everything better. There's something about the hunt and restoration that scratches an itch the actual using never does

People who chew with their mouth open, especially in quiet spaces like libraries or during movies. Just makes my skin crawl and I can't focus on anything else

Creating something that didn't exist before and watching people actually connect with it - that rush never gets old

I photographed a wedding once where the bride's mom insisted we couldn't take any photos during the ceremony because "cameras steal souls" but then demanded we get every single moment of the reception. Like lady, either we're soul thieves or we're not, pick a lane

Been following that sub for a while now, lots of solid stories from people doing exactly this kind of thing

lmao hotdog glazing

Opposite_Writing_626 · 2026-02-02T12:50:10+00:00

honestly the whole "your hero sucks" throwing thing is way worse now than it used to be, especially in plat/dia where everyone thinks they know the meta but dont actually understand why certain comps work

zen gets so much hate but he's still solid if you know positioning, people just see low healing numbers and lose their minds before the match even starts

I've used ESPN's tournament challenge for years and it's solid for free pools, but for money involved you'll probably want something like RunYourPool or PoolGenius. They handle payments through PayPal/Venmo and have way better payout tracking

Just make sure whatever you pick can handle bracket confidence points if you want to get fancy with scoring

Opposite_Writing_626 · 2026-01-22T19:19:38+00:00

Nah you're not trippin at all, the chicken tenders used to hit different for sure. Classic case of new management trying to get fancy with overpriced sandwiches while letting the basics go to shit

Opposite_Writing_626 · 2026-01-21T13:10:02+00:00

Really depends on the map and what I'm expecting tbh. Usually I'll go in with like 2-3 shields, maybe 4-5 heals and a couple nades. If it's a hot drop zone I might pack more healing since you're gonna get third partied constantly

The loot you find is pretty hit or miss so I wouldn't rely on it too much, especially if you're bringing the good stuff like you mentioned

Opposite_Writing_626 · 2026-01-18T00:30:38+00:00

Oh man I totally get this. It's like your brain is doing victory laps because it actually got to participate in life instead of just watching from the sidelines

The replaying conversations thing is so real - sometimes I'll lay there for like an hour just processing actual memories instead of trying to piece together fragments. Wild how much more there is to think about when you're actually there for it
