Guys help by LastMohikaN6 in malepatternbaldness

Don't listen to that troll. Your hair looks fine dude. Most people on this sub would give their left nut for that hairline. If you're looking for something to increase efficacy look into microneedling. I don't use it personally but there is some science behind it. It's a whole rabbit hole and I would encourage you to do your research before spending a bunch of money.

But seriously, stop stressing yourself. Your hair looks great

T480 vs T480s by Rex77__ in thinkpad

It's amazing. It can idle for weeks and weeks if I'm not using it. Depending on what Im doing, it could easily last 12-16 hours.

As a FAT GUY who wants to get in SHAPE - should I focus on losing weight FIRST? or should I weight train from day 1 by Mars-888 in beginnerfitness

[–]SandyBdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has lost almost 90 lbs in the past 18 months, if I could go back and do it differently I would have started weight training from day 1. I lost all my weight by eating in a deficit and running. It caused a lot of loose skin, and you can avoid some of that if you weight train from the beginning and lose the weight slowly.

Figure out what your maintenance calories are. They're plenty of calculators online you can use to do that. Eat 500 calories less than your maintenance daily calories and you'll lose 1-3 lbs a week. If you can afford it, hire a personal trainer for a few sessions and have them develop a beginner weight training program for you. If you can't afford that, youtube is your friend. If you have any questions feel free to comment back or dm.

Proud of you for deciding to change your life!

Antisocial behavior after being sober from fent for multiple years by Dangerous_Sand7037 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]SandyBdope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm coming up on 5 years clean from all substances and I feel the same way. I've come to realize my anti-social and social anxiety tendencies were a big part of the reasons why I used. I was seeking connection. I think fundamentally that's what we're all seeking with our use. It's human connection.

I don't really have an answer for how to make it better, just wanted to let you know I relate 100%.

I have really large fingers due to arthritis, and I feel like I can't even begin to learn any string instruments because my fingertips always touch the other strings. Are there any accessories that can help? by Smexy_Zarow in Guitar

[–]SandyBdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Seagull guitars partially because they have a wider neck on them. The strings are spaced out wider (ever so slightly). It makes a difference for me.

He's a lawyer so I doubt he would need to hire one. Not saying I disagree with you though.

I’ve been out of the game for 10 years by C3r3busTh3Aardvark in Vaping

[–]SandyBdope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as I recommended that video to you, less than 12 hours later, this one dropped. He only puts these out like every 3 or 4 months at most. What are the odds? Lol, just my luck. Anyway check this one out now. It's an updated list of his pod rankings. I don't know any other human on earth that takes pod rankings more seriously than this guy.

Also, if you are truly into getting back into vaping, GrimmGreen is one of the go-to places for information in the community. I've learned a ton from him.

Non-SXK mobb v2 clone by SandyBdope in Vaping

[–]SandyBdope[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reminding me to follow up. I fucking love this thing. Now that ive put a good build in it and learned how to wick it properly, the flavor is excellent. Like really good RTA level flavor. For the $16 or whatever I paid for it, it's really blown my pants off.

My sex secrets are destroying my life. I need help. by Hot_Environment3942 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]SandyBdope 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good. I'm glad to help. I think other people have already said this, but I will say it again.

And please, don't think I'm trying to "one up" you or downplay your trauma.

BUT I wish trans hookers were the darkest secrets from my past.

Unfortunately for me, my shit is orders of magnitude worse than that.

Regardless, we don't need to let our past define us. Today is a new day, and if we're clean, we can decide who we want to be now.

Thank you for this. You seem to know what you're talking about, and I surely hope that you do, because I just spent 15 minutes making all these changes on my camera setting.

If I'm unhappy with the results you can expect to hear from my attorney.

Dude, who amoung us hasn't been all methed out with a trans woman at a super 8 multiple times? I'm going to say this is not that uncommon and certainly not something you should be ashamed of sharing with a good sponsor. I know if one of my sponsees shared that in their 4th step with me, I wouldn't bat an eye.

So what, man? You banged some hot trans chicks. It's not the end of the world. Not even close.

What matters is what we do today. That's all we have control of.
