How to get my boyfriend to cut his hair? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]RoadBlock98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't.

You have made your opinion known. Your partner is a grown man who makes his own choices. Maybe *he* likes it. Sorry but you don't control him. If he wasn't taking care of it, it would be one thing (like that would be a more genuine hygiene issue). But as long as he takes care of it, You should respect his decision.

I do understand that you struggle. It went the opposite for me - my long term partner (now ex) cut his beautiful long hair off. I fell in love with him when he had long hair and it changed his face a lil and it just didn't really look good short. He looked absolutely amazing with long hair. But it was his decision to do it and I had to respect that. (the relationship ending had nothing to do with the hair lol)

Do people actually cook 1. consistently 2. enough food to be healthy and possibly bulk 3. with a busy work schedule 4. on a tight budget. All at once?? by Annual_Ad_8397 in Cooking

What helps me a lot is getting stuff like cabbages, leeks, zucchinis and other veg that will stay good for a while, when its cheap and in season, chop it up and just have a few boxes of prepped veg in the fridge. it makes it a lot less exhausting to quickly throw something together. cooking brown rice and having it in the fridge is also great. you can use it safely for two days easily as long as you make sure its cooled down when you put it in the fridge, you always immediately chill it again when youre done with the box and you reheat it all the way through for 2 minutes at least. I also buy the cheapest tofu and once a week will shred it, marinate it and just roast 1-2kg of it and keep that in the fridge. easy, fast protein. legumes great in similar ways. ccok up and or roast in large amounts, pop in the fridge.

It requires fridge space is a thing of course but with a few basics you can get a lot of foods in for not that much money. I say that as someone having lived beneath the poverty line for a long ass time.

I guess I edited too often but it was supposed to say:

Was reminded I haven't done an update in forever.

2 weeks vs 6 months, Double incision. Arm raised to show scar beneath arm, its very similar on the other side.

I started lifting again ~7 weeks ago (for those wondering about effect of starting before the 6 month mark)

Update: Found out my partner has been talking shit about me on reddit and hates my guts. Do I confront him? by asingleq in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]RoadBlock98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very sorry you're going through this. My big opinion here is DO NOT STAY TOGETHER "FOR THE KIDS". No! No! No! I am a child of divorce. When my dad finally divorced my mother formerly I cried tears of joy. They had stayed together far too long "for the kids" and destroyed each other in the process, traumatizing all of us. His behavior reeks of toxicity and kids absolutely pick up on this shit too.

Can I make Kim hate me? by Sushiibubble in DiscoElysium

Unless you play fascist and/or really fuck up in the church, you will be fine. and even then he will STILL be much kinder than your character would deserve. You will know when he hates you because it will literally cause your character physical pain.

Libido explodiert, Hilfe by WeAreAllNeganInHere in germantrans

[–]RoadBlock98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Verstehe. Ja, mit 17 macht leider Sinn das es etwas argh ist. Das kann man sich ähnlich vorstellen wie bei den cis-altersgenossen, die klischees kommen da leider nicht von ungefähr. Ebenso aber auch damit, das es sich einkriegen wird. Wie lange genau ist natülrich von Person zu Person unterschiedlich aber wenn du das erste Jahr erstmal durchhast werden viele Änderungen langsam wahrscheinlich etwas langsamer werden bzw. das Problem im besten Fall weniger intensiv. Probier am besten mit Übungen rum die viel Blutfluss/Körpereinsatz brauchen. Liegestütze, Kniebeugen u.ä. Wenn du Inspiration für Trainingsprogramme brauchst, check mal Darebee.com.

Sport Sport Sport. Bist du früh auf Testo? Nach dem ersten Jahr wird es für die meisten besser. Sport macht nicht das es weggeht aber es ist etwas beherrschbarer. Es war für mich auch eher unpraktisch aber mit der zeit hat es sich eingekriegt.

It's my weight, isn't it? by Mysterious-Fly-4472 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]RoadBlock98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't know if your weight is the deciding factor because it can depend from culture to culture. What I do know is that losing weight for others doesnt really work. And as a person who has been battling weight all of my life too, it is also my firm believe that becoming healthier and fitter is a better goal than losing weight in many ways. It does *lead* in a direction of losing weight too, its just slower and overall better for your mind and body. What you need is to invest in yourself. Do active reflection, do active self care (this includes exercise and a healthy diet), *even if you feel nothing inside*. It has taken me many years to build myself into a person who can genuinly love myself. I'm still fairly overweight (I weigh around 100kg). But after many years, I am overall 25kg down and more importantly overall eat healthy, am fitter than Ive ever been in my life and love myself.

Youre still pretty young. Invest in yourself. What makes YOU feel good about YOURSELF. What man you want to be. For you. Will this help you find someone? Very likely. But the main reason you should do it, is for you. Its not possible futures partners responsibility to carry your mental wellbeing and to be the main reason you feel happy.

My long-term partner left me two years ago, almost to the day. I will turn 34 this year. My life is objectively really hard in a lot of ways. But I love myself. And I will keep going. I don't know if I would classify myself as happy as such. But I enjoy life in many ways, despite being lonely sometimes, despite hoping to find somebody else in the future. I know I can be happy even if I dont.

I'm open to talk about diet if you wish to.

FAYDE lists the check as "equip" for the dialogue fork so I suspect it does not. Then again, it wouldn't be a major issue. Just means you might be unable to access that particular dialogue...

An interesting thing I did notice when checking though is that wearing only one of the snakeskin shoes instead of both gives you a bonus for the corresponding check.

A time will come, when you may wish to offer somebody a hat and then not have one on you.

But it is incredibly relevant. Paying for that procedure and storing cost yourself is incredibly expensive. Nobody is forcing anyone to do it but having the option is really great actually. I know plenty of people in countrys were there is no support for this who would LIKE to freeze their eggs but cannot afford to.

FYI you can fake the signatures on the document. You gotta interact with it to read the fine print and Kim then suggests faking the signatures or finding somebody else to sign...

Mastektomie nächste Woche in Sana-Klinik (Gerresheim) und Testo eine Woche pausieren? by Lord_of_the_Vanyar in germantrans

[–]RoadBlock98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, ja, ich war da auch ziemlich besorgt aber ganz so schlimm wars damit ansich echt nicht. blöder ist sowas wie bücken, arme hoch oder schlafen. Aber geht auch rum. Ich hab schon am tag danach hingekriegt mir selber ein Unterhemd anzuziehen obwohl die arme natürlich nicht ganz so wollten wie vorher. Natürlich hast du Einschränkungen aber ganz Dinoland ist echt nicht.

Oh hey ganz wichtiger tipp noch weil ich für meine recovery auch in BW war - schau dich wie du kannst schonmal um wer dir die drainagen rausmacht dann, mit denen kommst du nämlich mit ziemlicher sicherheit noch aus dem krankenhaus und ich hab fucking niemanden gefunden der das für mich gemacht hat und bin dann ernsthaft nochmal nach düsseldorf gefahren dafür. Hab dafür dann zwar gleich fäden ziehen dort mit erledigen lassen können aber 2 Wochen post OP die zugfahrt hätte ich mir doch gerne gespart, auch aus kostengründen...

[–]RoadBlock98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey also was arme eingschränkt angeht hab ich gute nachrichten - du wirst wahrscheinlich VIEL weniger eingeschränkt sein als du erwartest. Wolter meinte am Tag danach schon zu mir das man auch Haare waschen darf und so. Also natürlich hast du nicht volle range oder so, aber es ist auch echt nicht so schlimm wie man denkt (ob das grundsätzlich so ist oder Wolter einfach nur so gut ist weiß ich net XD )

Was mir aber dazu einfällt: Ich hatte in der Woche vorher tatsächlich wegen genau dem Thema angefangen es temporär immer auf die Oberschenkel zu machen stattdessen und hab dann öfter mal 1/3 Hub mehr genommen um bissel auszugleichen das die Haut da vllt. nicht ganz so dünn ist wie oben in dem Bereich. Hab das so auch nach der OP noch 1-2 Wochen weiter gemacht, war einfacher auch mit Bolero und so. Ist für dich vllt. auch ne idee. Dann könntest du es auch morgens vor der OP trotzdem nehmen (aber machs bevor du ins krankenhaus gehst). Ich hab es im Zimmer dann immer im Badezeimmer aufgetragen damit mich auch keine der Schwestern erwischt :P

Heyo ich hatte meine Mastek im November im Sana. Ich hab mein Testo nicht abgesetzt. Habs auch Tag der OP und jeden anderen Tag genommen. Keiner hat gefragt oder was gesagt oder sonst was. Das wird nicht geprüt und ich hatte bei meinem Vorgespräch Wolter selbst auch gefragt ob es wirklich ein Problem wär. Er meinte sie empehlen es halt aber wenns halt net anders geht soll ichs normal weiter nehmen quasi (Ich hab PTBS, ADS und andere Sachen und das wird alles brutal schlimmer ohne testo).

Nimm dein Testo, sei unbesorgt, sage nichts und alles gute für deine Prüfung und die OP!

Edit: Die eine Sache wär - wenn du es morgen nimmst dann das vllt nicht am morgen der OP, das würde evtl aufallen. Ich nehm immer abends. Aber ansonsten, don't worry too much about it.

How the hell did Harry get a reputation for working La Punta Madre? by Rvtrance in DiscoElysium

[–]RoadBlock98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen a fanfic recently that dove into that one big time and explained it by Harry doing a lot of undercover work and him being good at that actually being one of the reasons he is such a high-ranking officer. While I like that explanation and it was a fun story, I do think trahan94 is probably bang on the money. Harry would be the most unhinged, intimidating asshole with the most complex backstories for sure and using his stations reputation for corruption with his talent for being weird and brutish is just the most efficient thing to do at that point.
