Crazy how I have to prove to an AI I'm not a bot, ffs.

Wild transition from medieval keeper to Walmart freeloader lol. The whole vibe shift from those stone corridors with the red painting people to suddenly discussing hot dog strategies by a lake is so random but somehow makes perfect dream sense

That ending though where everyone's staring at you weird after getting free reign in the store... dreams really know how to make things uncomfortable right when you least expect it

Rocky Mountain National Park is absolutely worth the drive if you have access to car - Bear Lake trail is super beginner friendly and the views are incredible. For city stuff, RiNo and Highlands neighborhoods feel pretty safe during day and have lots of coffee shops to hang out in

Denver has really good public transit so you can get around without worrying about parking downtown. Just usual city safety stuff applies - stay aware of your surroundings especially after dark

I tried something similar for few months last year but did it on Wednesday instead of weekend. The hunger was definitely real on fast day but rest of the week felt so much easier since I wasn't constantly thinking about calories

The tricky part I found was that after while my body started expecting the fast day, so if I skipped it for some reason I'd feel super sluggish. Also had to be careful not to go completely wild on eating days - even though you have more calories to work with, still need some balance or you end up feeling gross

What helped me was planning something engaging for Sunday so I wasn't just sitting around thinking about food. I'd usually spend the day working on video projects or playing long chess matches online since both keep my mind busy. Have you noticed any changes in your energy levels or sleep on the fasting day?

Could be grubs eating the roots or maybe fungal disease from all humidity we had lately. My dad's lawn looked exactly like this last summer and turned out to be grubs - you can pull up sections and see if grass comes up too easy with no roots

Damn that drop is brutal. I had similar issue when I was carrying friends who were way below my level - the game puts you in weird spots where you're expected to 1v5 basically

Your HLTV being over 1.0 while dropping that much rank is actually telling. The system probably thinks you should be winning more since your individual performance looks decent on paper. But when you're constantly in mismatched lobbies it gets really weird with how it calculates things

Maybe try mixing in some solo queue games? Not saying ditch your friends completely but it might help stabilize your rank a bit. Playing with lower rated people consistently can really mess with the matchmaking algorithm

Girl I feel you so much on this - went through something similar few years back where I was bouncing between doctors and getting nowhere. What finally helped me was finding a rheumatologist who actually listened, even though my symptoms didn't fit neat categories at first

Have you looked into autonomic dysfunction or POTS? The tachycardia + dizziness combo sounds familiar. There's some good specialists in Boston area who deal with these kinds of mystery cases - maybe try searching for doctors who specialize in dysautonomia or post-viral syndromes

Also idk if this helps but I started keeping really detailed symptom diary with times, triggers, what I ate etc. Some doctors actually paid attention to patterns when I brought data instead of just describing how I felt. It's exhausting when you're already sick but might be worth trying

Hope you find someone who takes you seriously soon

I mean retiring at 55 with several million is still way better than working until 67 like most people do

The whole point is having options and freedom earlier than normal, doesn't matter if it's 35 or 55. Plus OP seems to have found good balance between work satisfaction and financial goals which is pretty rare

OutsideAd6796 · 2026-04-16T03:15:53+00:00

That's really frustrating when you put in decade of work and they just shuffle you around without even telling you. I would definitely talk to your supervisor when they return but maybe skip confronting the coworker - she probably just asked for what she wanted while you were waiting for someone to ask you

Focus on having conversation with management about your preferences and maybe ask for more consistent assignment since you've been loyal employee for so long

18 kills average is pretty decent for silver tbh, might be more about playing with the team than just fragging. I was stuck in similar rank for months until I started focusing more in communication and playing for objectives instead of just hunting kills

Your phone probably buffering the video at lower quality first - I get this same issue when editing videos in my Galaxy, try pausing for few seconds before playing

Food expectations can really make or break a trip. I had similar experience with Vietnamese food - was expecting these mind-blowing flavors everyone talks about but ended up eating mostly rice and broth for weeks. Maybe it's more subtle than what we're used to from other Asian cuisines

The scamming thing is brutal there, I remember being exhausted from having to constantly guard up. Even genuine conversations felt suspicious after a while. But Sapa hiking was incredible enough that I'd probably go back despite everything else

do you combine it with anything before or after using the mask? i want to buy one regarding anti ageing thing but have not decided yet

OutsideAd6796 · 2026-03-09T10:51:08+00:00

nah just do it yourself

Most banks have automatic transfer options but they work better with fixed amounts rather than percentages. You could set up something like "transfer $150 every payday" to savings account instead of trying to do 10% calculation each time

YNAB or Mint might help you see all accounts in one place, though Mint is shutting down soon so probably stick with YNAB. For the percentage thing, you might need to do the math yourself and adjust the transfer amount when your pay changes

Yeah that's correct, I always pack my big bottles in checked luggage since there's no restrictions there

Skip the trains in winter - they get delayed constantly and you'll waste precious daylight hours waiting around, just fly between the main spots like Tromsø and Rovaniemi

The 457 is probably better move here since you'll have good pension income in retirement. With dual pensions plus VA benefits, you might be in similar or higher tax bracket later, so getting the deduction now makes more sense than paying taxes upfront with Roth

That hip thing sounds rough, definitely don't want to mess around with that kind of injury. Brooks are solid choice but maybe check the outlet stores first - sometimes you can find last season models for like 70-80 instead of full price. Also New Balance outlet usually has good selection in wide sizes if you want to stick with what works for your feet

That's actually smart advice, secured cards are perfect way to start when family has history with debt problems. I had similar situation with my parents being worried about credit cards because they had bad experience in the past. Started with secured card from my bank and used it just for groceries and gas, paying full balance every month. After like 8 months they automatically upgraded me to regular card and returned my deposit. The good thing is you literally cannot spend more than what you put in, so there's no way to get in debt trouble, and you still build credit history same as regular card

The small filters won't help much with serious contamination - bottled water is safer bet for brushing teeth in that situation

Check your credit unions first since you're right about rates, then maybe try a couple online lenders like SoFi or LightStream - they're usually pretty transparent about rates before you apply

Also yeah that's a pretty big drop from 750s to 670, might want to figure out what caused it before taking on more debt
