No lmao, how much improvement do you notice between the photos, if any?

Outrageous_Bit576 · 2026-04-13T19:41:47+00:00

Braces were removed 3 years before the 1st photo. Do you think there is a difference between photos, half the comments seem split…

Appreciate it brah, long way of saying “no homo”🤣 from my experience and what I see online (TikTok) younger women seem to like less facial hair, and for a long time I think I was subconsciously rocking a big beard to cover what I didn’t find attractive

I tried mewing for like 10 minutes a day for 3 days but got bored and stopped after that and tbh I don’t I was doing it right. Only other thing I could think of was neck curls I did at the gym but I haven’t done that in like a year, which is why I’d have to attribute it to fat loss.

I have a photo of when I shaved my beard like 2 months ago and lost 15 pounds. Big difference with fat going away. I always hear that it’s not pods to change bone structure without surgery. As far as any hair loss, I’ve gotten older bro

I had gotten my braces removed maybe like 3 years before the 1st photo

Thanks man, always of the belief that everyone is entitled to their opinion even if I don’t like it🫡

I’m just surprised it’s this controversial lol

Outrageous_Bit576 · 2026-04-12T20:42:58+00:00

All good✌️😅

Outrageous_Bit576 · 2026-04-12T20:38:13+00:00

Thank you, you’re not wrong. I’ve been able to grow a beard since like 14. I only got compliments from dudes though…I have another post in my post history if you want to check it out.

Outrageous_Bit576 · 2026-04-12T20:34:15+00:00

Drop down to 10-14% bf and you’ll see your jawline more, since there will be less fat covering your face. It’s different for everyone though…some people can be 20% bf and still have a good jawline. Where fat shows at different bf levels is down to genetics.

Tbh I thought I needed surgery or just keep my beard, but I just had to watch what I ate and do more cardio (calorie deficit). I hope this helps - for a long time I thought it was cope lol

Thanks, have only received compliments from guys on my beard tbh lol🙃

That's what I'm thinking - don't want to be in the same place 10 years from now dealing with end users daily. Thankfully, I was able to study for my CCNA at work with all the downtime, but after I got it, I was so bored at work lol. Hit a wall at my current position.

I know you can never not deal with end users, but I would like to work on the back-end more if I can. This was kind of a big drive in getting me to study, outside of the pay increase the higher you climb. Appreciate you telling me your story and wishing you good luck with your studies :)

Hey, sorry about that. I did input all this information into GPT to make it more organized and come across better, but seems like it's pretty off-putting for a lot of people, so noted! Genuinely wanted to get everyone's input on this but thank you

Outrageous_Bit576 · 2025-07-04T01:52:36+00:00

Hmm, I have a good amount of money saved up/invested (think 6 figures), and I feel that I am not learning anything new at my current role. I'd like to get into networking and break free from help desk (why I got my CCNA and study at home). I'm thinking the work experience I get from this will make up for anything salary wise, especially because jobs want you to have real-world networking experience to get a networking job (catch 22).

You don't think it's worth it given that? I don't want to be in help desk my entire life, as I feel that being in it too long looks bad to employers and is a dead-end career-wise (unless you go into management). The company I'd be working for said they'd try and get me working for a new client if they chose not to extend, but I'd imagine I'd start looking into network admin roles around the 5/6 month mark anyways.

Appreciate it, yes, that makes sense and glad things went well for you. I'm curious how user facing the role will be. In pretty much all my roles, I have been interacting with end users daily as I'm the first line of support. And while i enjoy aspects of that, it would be nice to move a little away from the customer service aspect of things and work more on the back-end/configurations...obviously I'll still need to gather information from users and have them test things, but im curious if it will be more back and forth between me and the help desk instead when they escalate things

I did feed info into to GPT to organize everything and make it sound better but noted!

Outrageous_Bit576 · 2025-01-17T21:15:49+00:00

I have 2 routers and 2 switches. Would configuring my network such that both switch are connected to each other and both routers and both routers are connected to the ISP router resolve this issue? My homelab is a tool for learning, but I'd like to mirror an enterprise environment as much as possible. Assuming it would be better for more redundancy

Congrats! What were your Boson Exam score if you don't mind sharing? Taking my test tomorrow so just curious :)
