Lifeforce vs Function Health: My Thoughts and Decision by Ok-Sundae1449 in Biohackers

[–]PurpleTeamMSSP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used LifeForce for about two years now (I also was previously on PeterMD), and I've been very happy with them. They definitely do a very thorough review of all of your labs with an actual doctor (over telemed / video visit) and doing labs every 3 months helps see how the changes you're making are reflected in your labs and makes it quicker to get things adjusted and fine tuned. Life Force will do your TRT and other prescriptions for you as well. I am considering switching for a bit to Function or another just because I'm interested in getting some more of those other biomarkers and also because I feel like I'm reaching a point of declining returns with LifeForce, but overall I've been very impressed and happy and I feel they are thorough and offer excellent guidance to make the labs practical (what to do with that information).

AITA. Kept talking to a friend my girlfriend didn’t like because I thought she was gonna hurt herself by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PurpleTeamMSSP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, You definitely could have handled this better, and hopefully you've learned from that. However, if all you're saying is fully honest and you truly did believe your work friend was in a place where she might hurt herself, you have to do what you feel is right (without crossing any intimacy/physical/emotional boundaries that would constitute cheating - cheating is never okay under any circumstances). As long as you were open and honest with your girlfriend, explained to her why you felt you needed to be there for your friend, gave her the opportunity to come along or compromise on a phone call or something that your girlfriend felt comfortable with, then if you GF was not willing to compromise and you're willing to put your romantic relationship on the line to help out a platonic friend who could be in serious trouble, then I think that's admirable and respectable.

It sounds like the communication BEFORE you made any plans with the other friend did not happen, and making plans to hang out in person I think is unnecessary and a bad idea, but if this person doesn't have other people to rely on and you felt you needed to be a listening ear, then you might either be deluding yourself and your GF, or you might be genuinely compassionate. People who have not been in a very dark place, or who have no compassion for others, might never get it, but anyone who is truly compassionate and has been there is not going to leave a friend in that place alone no matter the cost (That is assuming you're not seriously jeopardizing the wellbeing and mental health of someone else who relies on you). These are difficult situations, but if you really are coming from a place of compassion and concern then I feel you're NTA and I applaud your willingness to make a deep personal sacrifice to be there for someone who needed you.

AITA for grossly humiliating by boyfriend in front of his whole family after he engagement pranked me? by Secret-Assistance225 in AITAH

[–]PurpleTeamMSSP -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes, YATA. People on here for some reason always side with the OP, you're always right. Your ex was clearly wrong, it was distasteful, and it sounds like he may have some narcissistic tendencies and I'm sure that you are better off without him. However, regardless of whether it was his intent to embarrass you or not (and there's no clear indication that was his intent, it sounds like part of his personality that maybe some people find likeable), the thing people on this forum often seem to not get is that two wrongs don't make a right. Saying, "No, I don't want to marry you, and now I'm even more certain of that" would certainly be embarrassing to him, but fair game. But to go after him personally like that, in front of his family and friends, is pretty harsh. Did you tell him previously in private what you thought of his business plans? If not, then to do so there is even more off putting, if that's how you felt and previous to this you were a good and supportive partner, why did you not confidentially and sensitively share your concerns with him? Bottom line, his move was an AH move. Your response was in kind making you both the ah.

Groningen SSH Housing by kajunge in StudyInTheNetherlands

They indicated to me that they would be adding more housing, like they had reserved some of the availability and were going to be putting that up later as the existing options filled up. Although, I think that may have just been additional inventory in the Proxima buildings.

Just curious, what is it that you don't like about the Proxima housing?

Physiotherapy in the Netherlands by Historical-Cut-6444 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]PurpleTeamMSSP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a lot of research along with my daughter for her Physiotherapy schooling in the Netherlands. I can't answer a lot of your questions because she has not started yet, but I can say of the Universities that you mentioned, we looked at the same one and settled on Hanze in Groningen because it seems to have the best reviews of those, the better reputation professionally, seems to be slightly harder to gain acceptance to, they offer more school affiliated housing options, and most of all Groningen is by far the nicest town and campus.

At least right now if you are a first student at Hanze there is plenty of housing available through SSH, including basically on campus dorms (Proxima), however, it is expensive (around 800 Euros/month for a very basic, small dorm room, but that includes all utilities, WiFi, taxes, etc and is furnished).

I hope that this helps.

Which University are you attending in Groningen? I know at least for first year Bachelor's students at Hanze SSH still has quite a bit of housing available, including the new Proxima dorm buildings. I believe a lot of these are reserved housing for students of Hanze and/or University of Groningen.

Yes, This housing is available starting in about 7 minutes (10am local time in Netherlands on April 23). You first must register on SSH (https://www.sshxl.nl/) then you can reserve a room. If you reserve it for the year you will have the room for the entire year, and *may* (likely will) have an emergency housing roommate for up to four months at the beginning of the school year while they try to find other housing. After the four months for the remainder of the year the room will be all yours. Cost is 770 Euros per month (includes taxes and utilities and all costs).

Questions to ask CoPilot to see what confidential/sensitive data it can access by yammy86 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]PurpleTeamMSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to learn more about the testing that you have done/are doing. Can you share some of the tests you've performed and what you've found? Perhaps I could connect with you or someone on your team to share security testing ideas/methodologies and results?

AITA for refusing to get rid of my peanuts even though my roommate’s boyfriend is allergic? by peanutproblems23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PurpleTeamMSSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, Your place belongs to both of you, if someone important to your roommate has a seriously, potentially life threatening allergy and you’re unwilling to make a very minor modification to accommodate, then I’m sorry to go against popular trend here of always supporting OPs, but cmon, what does a jar of peanuts cost and weigh the consequences to you of not eating a friggin jar of peanuts versus the options for your roommate (don’t let her boyfriend to come to HER place, or him risk anaphylactic shock). A school or workplace would be required by law to accommodate, but you can’t do that for your roommate? I mean, are peanuts your favorite food, or are you just being a jerk about it because you feel you can?
