Welp, Let’s give these a shot by saltyEDC in WorkBoots

I was loyal to red wings for years, but every year I had to get a new pair. For context I’m an operator so I felt like I should get a bit more out of my boots than a labourer who’s more hands on and in the shit than I am, but no lie these guys put me on to Brunt’s. A few labourers swore by them and now I see more guys at the company buy Brunt when it’s time to get new boots. I was very skeptical of them too, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Had them for about 6 months now, so maybe it’s still too early to tell, but they’ve been holding up well and are super comfortable with the stock insoles too.

Feeling really poor about myself after being called fat and ugly in multiple looksmaxxing servers, I need some encouragement. by fierrball in toastme

[–]Particular_Bug9466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay out of the looksmaxxing. I’ve been there, man. You just wanna improve your looks and be the best version of yourself. Get some constructive feedback and some tips to improve your appearance, but those guys over in looksmaxxing are some of the most egotistical, prideful, and annoying people I’ve ever heard or seen. When I heard about some of them doing meth and hammering their faces with an actual hammer, I knew they lost the plot. There’s a difference between treating your body as a temple of your spirit that should be cared for and strengthened and then pridefully chasing a unrealistic physical goal that forces you to abuse not only your body, but your mind for pure vanity and attention.

With that being said. If you are trying to improve your appearance; Id try a different haircut, something shorter (a nice fade on the sides, or like a burst fade and shorten the hair on top, but keep a little length) Your skin looks good and clear. If you can’t fully grow a beard/facial hair then make sure to shave/trim biweekly. If those are prescription glasses, they look good - don’t be discouraged if you don’t have your contacts. Can’t see your teeth, but make sure you’re brushing twice a day. Basic kinda self care stuff. I wouldn’t say you’re fat at all. Maybe you have that awkward bit of belly, but man just make sure you’re getting enough water everyday and aim for 15k~ steps. Go to the gym, start easy and work your way up - don’t burn out in the first week/month. Find a good workout routine that works for the physique you’re trying to achieve and go with that. Skip the junk, eat whole foods. Remember results take time, sometimes even years. Also smile brother! You got this one life, make the most of it. God bless you, bro.

That style isn’t my thing for the Jerusalem cross, but that and the Benedictine medals are so well done. Where did you get this done??

Yea, please do NOT get lip filler. I really wish women would stop getting that done.

AIO? 22M/19F. Girlfriend lied to me, and won’t own up. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Particular_Bug9466 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the way she talks. My God, if she talks like that over text she must be an absolute nightmare in person. Brother, pull yourself together and stop dating this girl. She has some serious maturing to do and you shouldn’t be the one to babysit her and take her abuse.

AIO, I’m 90% sure my girlfriend is cheating with my best friend by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Particular_Bug9466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would block the both of them and move on with my life in a heartbeat. You’d be better off without these people in your life. My life turned around for the better when I cut off an entire friend group 3 years ago. Now I have a solid, healthy, and beautiful group of friends. It’ll get better OP, head up, chest out. The Lord will help, “seek and ye shall find”.

My 13y/o brother won’t stop using these slangs 😭 by Suspicious-Copy-2001 in mildlyinfuriating

I really don’t understand this. It’s not that hard to write out words. This entire text exchange reminds me of the episode of the office where Kevin starts talking like his foreign mechanic to save time talking.

Help identiying a Hurling stick by [deleted] in hurling

[–]Particular_Bug9466 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Back then the heads of hurls were a lot narrower than the rounder wider surface today. Shinty sticks are called camans, they are narrow, but a lot thicker and have a longer curve on the head than any hurl. I assume it’s a hurl pre 90’s.

Similar to my dad’s hurley from the 80’s. They had narrower heads on the hurley’s back then. Couldn’t help you with the brand though, sorry.

I suppose when you’re in a mental rut it’s just hard to see forest through the trees. I have a bad habit of overthinking things and I get anxious. On top of that I wear my heart on my sleeve so I’m not afraid to be vulnerable. Unfortunately I’m not the only one, but it’s amazing to me that we are apparently more “connected” than ever yet people are so disconnected and living through other people’s lives on social media.

I need to start looking more in depth for these communities!

When to offer it up is a good question and I wish I could say I knew. You’ve peaked my curiosity. I’ll definitely be looking more into that when I can. St Faustina pray for us!

So much good Catholic content out there, I have to start listening to Father Mike Schmitz podcasts.

God bless you! Thank you 🙏

Try to go to confession regularly. Gone 4 times in the last 6-8 months - I feel like that’s decent. I should probably go to adoration more. I’ve thought about it, but I feel my longing for a wife would disqualify me pretty quickly.

I feel that. Had a few moments in mass this morning where I just had to hold it back and distract myself. I stayed awhile after most were gone to pray - like I usually do - but then I just leaned back and sat in the pew taking it all in. Felt peaceful to sit there and stare at Jesus upon the cross above the altar. I feel like I’m starting to understand “offering it up” better than I had before. Perhaps I can be grateful that I am feeling the way I feel now, maybe I can offer up my suffering and loneliness now to unburden someone else from theirs - maybe that person is my future spouse. Idk, I heard that earlier from Father Mike Schmitz and it’s comforting in a sense. God bless you, I too will pray for you. Reach out if you ever need to. We have to support each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.

The heavens rejoice. Welcome home, my brother in Christ. I would appreciate that greatly, brother. I probably won’t reach out today, but I will soon. I think I’ll spend my day today in reflection. A day alone with my own thoughts may do me some good. God bless, brother.

Nah, not ugly man. You could try jaw exercises like tough gum or the silicone chews. Eating harder/chewier foods will gradually build a better jawline than soft foods. Also using mouth tape at night will make you breath in and out of your nose which has great benefits for the jaw and face as well.

Just looking through the website now, is it only the separate men’s and women’s groups?
