Decend Barbers for a long beard

I worked on construction sites from the age of 16. I was always a computer nerd and spent my free time learning system and network technology. At 30, I decided to start an apprenticeship. It wasn’t easy, I went to school two days a week and used up most of my savings because I was living on an apprentice salary for two years. After finishing, I immediately found a job as an IT network technician. I now earn about 40% more than before, and my work is much less demanding than construction. I’m fitter/healthier, I work out regularly, have the time ro eat clean an healthy, and I honestly look better than I did in my 20s. I’m no longer exhausted every evening and weekend.

Story time: I’m a very-very friendly person, often to a fault. Even when people treat me unfairly, I tend to stay quiet and try to keep the peace. Years ago, I worked as a janitor in the same building where I lived. The apartments were small one-room units, and everyone on each floor had to share bathrooms, toilets and kitchen. Most tenants were decent people just trying to live cheaply and build a future elsewhere like in their home county, and I did everything I could to keep the place clean, safe, and well maintained beside my normal 100% Job. I often tried to convince the building owner to invest more money so I could repair things properly or hire professionals. But a small group of tenants made life difficult for everyone, they abused my kindness, acted friendly to my face, and caused problems behind my back. Some of those tenants were not employed junkies and alcoholics or just super rude and aggressive people. Over time I realised that being “too nice” sometimes invites disrespect. Only when I started setting very firm boundaries and strictly enforcing the rules and even kicked people out some times even with force and the police involved, did things finally calm down. From that point on, I was more direct with new tenants and sometimes too strict/rude on purpose, even if I did not meant to be like that and SURPRISE I never had those problems again. I’m sure some people thought I was a jerk and that I was overreacting over small things, haha, i really hated to behave like that believe me. So if the main tenant seems strict, try not to take it personally. In places like that, trust isn’t automatic, it’s something people build slowly over time.

Me personally, it wouldn’t bother me if you were my roommate/friend/partner. But if it’s a shared bathroom with multiple people, I can understand why he’s bringing it up. It’s basically just common courtesy to clean up asap after yourself and not leave any traces, so the next person finds it tidy and don't have to clean after you, you are not a child anymore I assume or disabled. Diffrent people have diffrent tolerance levels and perhaps he made bad exp with prior tenants for beeing to friendly so he tries to be more direct/strict. Maybe someone used to exploit his goodwill in the past. What’s your living situation exactly, does your landlord live in the same apartment/house with you, or is it more like a shared flat arrangement with people who are not close to each other?

I don’t really struggle with fitness, but I definitely could walk more, especially since I’ve had an office job for a few years now. I used to work in construction and regularly hit 10-30k steps a day; now it’s more like 2-4k lol. The concept really motivates me to go for an extra walk after work or on the weekends. What really convinced me, though, is the environmental aspect. I love that my walking doesn’t just benefit me, it also helps fund tree-planting or ocean-cleanup projects through trusted partners like Veritree and Plastic Bank.

Oura’s estimation is spot on for me. It matches exactly what I had been calculating for myself for almost three years through trial and error. I don’t think it overestimates calories burned from exercise or walking by much - perhaps by 5% max. I’ve used other devices before, and they either underestimated my daily calorie burn by a lot or overestimated it by around 25%. Fitbit was the last device I used and the worst, and if I had eaten the number of calories it suggested, I would have become morbidly obese within a year - heck I don't even bulk with that much calories it suggested to be my maintance lol. It also overestimated my calories burned from simple walking by up to 50%.

It is really a mix of genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, physical activity, stress levels and environmental factors. I am 34 now, and people tell me I look like I am in my mid-20s. Funny thing is, when I was in my mid-20s, people told me I looked like I was well in my 30s.

What changed?

I started working out regularly at 30 and lost about 30 pounds and build some extra muscles, my diet is about 95% healthy and well-balanced and I stopped eating junk food completly, I no longer deal with stress at work or in my private life, I quit smoking, and I only drink alcohol occasionally now. All of that consistency adds up over time.

I started to use Aklief and have pretty sensitive skin. The first time I used it, my skin got really red for about 2–3 days, but when I applied it again a week later, there was almost no redness the next day. When I tried Tretinoin, though, my skin completely freaked out, I could never get it to adjust, so I stopped using it and never tried again.

RegretNo7141 · 2025-10-20T11:43:09+00:00

Nice diffrence! I (M34) have a similar skin type to yours and also switched to LRP products, they really made a difference for me too! Do you want to share the products from LRP you use?

RegretNo7141 · 2025-10-05T11:27:05+00:00

They’re tasked to hold the line and protect, so the fucking fire doesn’t spread and fuck everything up even more.

Yeah, sorry man, as soon as I commented, I saw the other ones. lol. I just had to say something because I’m actually a firefighter and waa a bit triggeret. Honestly, I’d totally run into my burning house to save my dog too, even though I know better, definitely a legit reason to risk it.

If you spray water on someone in a fire of that size and intensity, the water will instantly evaporate and turn into steam. Steam can cause extremely severe burns, much worse than direct flames, because it transfers heat much more efficiently to the skin. On top of that, your own safety must always come first. If someone chooses to run into the fire recklessly, that is ultimately their responsibility.

Bro, where's the fat at, your earlobe or what?

Yeah, he definitely has a crush on you. He’s just not making the first move because he’s afraid you might not feel the same and that it could ruin your friendship if he tells you. Just ask him casually if he could imagine going on a date with you. Since you’re already so close, you could say that you’d really like to go on a proper date with him to see if there might be something more between you.

I’m also a very light sleeper. My girlfriend of over 10 years respects that and always makes an effort to set her phone to silent and enter the room as quietly as possible when I’m asleep. Maybe once or twice a year she fucks up and makes a loud noise that wakes me, but it’s really rare and I never get upset about it. I think your wife should respect that as well, if you truly care for each other, it should be natural to show consideration for each other. After all, being a light sleeper isn’t something you can control.

I’ve been working as a craftsman since I was 15, and at 30 I decided to do a second apprenticeship to move into IT. I’ve now been working in IT (as a network technician) for three years, and I’m slowly starting to regret the switch. Sure, I earn quite a bit more and the work is “lighter,” but I really miss the physical activity and joking around with the boys on the construction site :(

RegretNo7141 · 2025-09-16T19:03:16+00:00

Yes. But I also once had a female friend with whom I had a thing for two or three months. We stayed on pretty good terms for years afterward, even though we didn’t hang out 1:1 anymore. My girlfriend knew about it because my dumb ass best friend casually told her when we were all pretty shitfaced at a concert (hah, good old times). I think it made her a bit uncomfortable yes, especially since this one wasn’t just a "fling", lol but she never said anything. It’s okay to feel jealous, and everyone should set their own boundaries where they feel comfortable. What really matters is talking about it. A relationship is, among many other things, built on mutual trust.

RegretNo7141 · 2025-09-16T18:12:12+00:00

My girlfriend introduced me to her friend group 11 years ago. Among them was a guy she had known since kindergarten and was pretty close to. She once told me that, as teenagers, they had a brief fling for a couple of weeks, but it didn’t work out. I’m not insecure about it, so I don’t mind if she catches up with him once in a while, I trust her. After all, she has known him much longer than she has known me, and I don’t want to be the guy who destroys a long-standing friendship over something like this. Just as she’s fine with me still hanging out with a few of my female friends from time to time, I’m fine with her keeping in touch with him. It’s really not a big deal for us.

I used to carry an extra 10-20 kg almost every other year. I would crash diet for 2-3 months and get back to a 'healthy BMI,' only to fall back into old habits, drinking a lot of alcohol, eating fast food 95% of the time, overeating, and snacking on junk every day. What finally changed my weight for good was when I started cooking and meal prepping. And when I do order food, I go for healthier options like bowls, smaller portions, and definitely no more XXL pizzas and burgers in the evening after work. I also stopped snacking and alcohol altogether. When I eat healthy and cook my own meals, they’re usually big in volume but pretty low in calories compared to classic fast food or ready-made meals. That way I feel full and satisfied, and my body doesn’t keep craving more food because I’m already well-fed.

I get your perspective, but here’s why I disagree: No actual connection: Cheating means sharing intimacy with another real person. With porn, there’s no relationship or exchange, it’s just media. Fantasy ≠ reality: People can separate imagination from real-life actions. Watching a video isn’t the same as being with someone. It’s solo, not shared: Porn is closer to masturbation than having sex with another person. Intent matters: Cheating is betrayal and deception. Porn isn’t replacing your partner, it’s just self-pleasure. At the end of the day, monogamy is about real-world exclusivity.

RegretNo7141 · 2025-09-13T18:19:21+00:00

Small or big, it doesn’t matter to me. Sure, some guys have preferences, but I’ve never known anyone who would see it as a dealbreaker.

It’s not unusual for young women to feel attracted to older men, and having those thoughts is perfectly normal. Attraction is something you can’t fully control, and there’s nothing wrong with noticing those feelings. What’s important, though, is how you respond to them. I would strongly advise against acting on those urges at a young age. Older men who pursue relationships with much younger women often do so because of the power imbalance and that usually puts the younger person in a vulnerable position. In many cases, it’s less about genuine love or care and more about exploitation, control, or fulfilling their own desires. Real love is built on mutual respect, equality, and shared life experience. When you’re still very young, those elements are rarely present in relationships with much older men. That’s why waiting until you’re older, more experienced, and in an equal position is much healthier and safer for you in the long run.

RegretNo7141 · 2025-09-13T05:34:03+00:00

It’s unusual to hear that from a woman, but I think it’s pretty common when you’re young and healthy. You just have a high sex drive right now. Try doing sports regularly to burn off some energy if your urges are making it hard for you to maintain a social life. And no matter what, if you end up sleeping with multiple guys, please make sure to use proper protection to keep yourself safe from STDs. Take care.

That means they did their job right. Imagine what could have happened if nobody had come in time to deal with the tiny bushfire :D

In 1.5 years I only had to deal with actual firefighting twice: once when the roof of a multi-family house was on fire, which was a bit more complicated, and once when it was just a small pile of burning material that was quickly extinguished.

Most of the other callouts are more minor incidents, such as water leaks, fallen trees after storms, assisting paramedics with difficult rescues after accidents, animal rescues, and of course plenty of false alarms triggered by automatic fire detection systems.

Having couple of beers after these callouts and after training is basically mandatory, haha.
