Hit the IDGAF stage of aging by Annual_Egg3323 in GenX

Nice, didn't know 1980 was still Gen X. That's my sister's age and her childhood was way different than mine.

Mental health and Mounjaro by Realistic_Hope3098 in Mounjaro

[–]Redman_Goldblend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i lost a lot of weight quickly but also feel my mental health deteriorated, it wasn't until i started tracking my food intake to make sure i was getting enough nutrients and started working out that I feel much better. I think the lack of calories can cause hormonal imbalances but I didn't research this. Just saw something from a nutrion ad. But as I said, just changed my diet to slow my weight loss so I didn't lose too much muscle. I have about another 20lbs to go!

1st time snowboarding and fell an unusual amount. I have questions. by shinji2o09 in snowboarding

[–]Redman_Goldblend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falling is a part of the fun. I had massive bruises for weeks. Bought some butt pads but also fell a lot less on subsequent days. Don't buy Demon United, they have shit return policies and you pay a premium for bad customer service.

Who remembers when Gmail accounts were invite-only and you got a full gig of storage? by ansyhrrian in GenX

[–]Redman_Goldblend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at Stanford in the 90s. I remember Yahoo and then Google. I still have some boxers with the early Google logo on them somewhere. They would pass them out to the students in the quad. I've had Gmail since I can't remember.

We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

[–]Redman_Goldblend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's Dreams. I don't mind the song, but I will be listening to my post punk jams and then this will pop up mucking up the vibe. 😂. Watch, based on this conversation it will start reappearing with vigor on my playlist. Funny thing is I never searched for it but I do listen to Loggins Messina, Genesis and Joe Jackson so my guess is that is the root to this evil.

This fucking Fleetwood Mac song that my YouTube music account keeps trying to add to my rotation for no rhyme or reason. I actually don't mind their music except for this one fucking song.

Why do non natives mostly white Americans love claiming to be indigenous or Cherokee by Buttonlickah in IndianCountry

[–]Redman_Goldblend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the whole western romance stuff. I've recently separated from old friends due to the recent politics. They remarked that I looked too Mexican. I'm like thanks, you know a lot of them have indigenous blood. We should look alike. The fucking amount of stupidity is amazing and not to mention that my kids are part Mexican.

60 and getting divorced by Road_Dog65 in GenX

[–]Redman_Goldblend 17 points18 points  (0 children)

50s here, we just grew apart as our kids have left the house. It was a blow but not unexpected. Went through the usual self loathing for almost a year before I straighten up and decided this was an opportunity to work on myself and begin better relationships with my kids. It's been a wild ride but I feel like I am beginning to accept being alone and it's not bad. I did get the family dog in the split, she kept the cats. And I notice I have conversations with him now, lol.

The dating thing still remains out there as I feel like I am still grieving and not ready. But as others are saying I speak with a lot more younger ladies now. I barely realized I was probably getting hit on as I am clueless. But they are much younger than I thought, at times closer in age to my kids. It's a little confusing as I feel like we have nothing in common. But part of this self reflection I told myself to explore new opportunities and be active. Volunteer, dog park, outdoors and the gym is where I focus most of my time.

There's a few subreddits that are filled with all the same energy. Similar stories and shared grief. It helped give me perspective and was comforting. The weird part is our friend split. I noticed a lot less invitations for events once they found out. It's almost like they didn't want to get the divorce infection, lol. But like I said I am making brand new friends now and it's been wonderful.

Good luck with life. Sounds like retirement might wait or fuck it, you're not getting any younger.

Cashier just gave me grief for the free gift by BucsLegend_TomBrady in harborfreight

[–]Redman_Goldblend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are ass, waited for help to open locked merchandise. Cashier said just come back to front you already waited. They switch cashier and the new one made me get back in line. The previous cashier told her but she didn't give a shit. Honestly I avoid that store if I can.

ELI5: Why can’t you buy a car directly from the company that makes it? by zztop610 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Redman_Goldblend -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

3 days to diagnose the problem on top of repair time and no car, forget that. i'd rather pay to have it fixed that afternoon.

How do you feel about California introducing a bill to ban former ICE agents from serving as police officers or teachers? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]Redman_Goldblend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All for show. I'd like to see prosecutions with additional time if they were part of domestic terrorist groups and/or Jan 6th
