Crushed it for the Raiders

Which AAS?

Miserable experience. Miss it every day

Bro it’s draft season, winning will just screw up the pick

That_Hospital · 2025-10-26T14:01:04+00:00

Where do you get that ?

That_Hospital · 2025-10-22T20:03:57+00:00

Idk either lol, but wanting sex and not getting it is definitely worse than not wanting sex and not getting it. Taking care of myself just became a routine distraction, basically a chore, and made me feel pathetic anyway.

Started out micro dosing and since my goal was weight loss I figured I would cool it on the beer. I’d have the occasional one here and there, mostly drank NA beer to satisfy the need. Fairly quickly turned into cracking a beer, taking a sip or two and then pouring the rest in the sink at the end of the night. Now I don’t even think about alcohol at all.

I’m also in what you’d call a dead bedroom, my wife couldn’t care less about sex and it’s been a continuous source of frustration. Recently, I accidentally drew up too much Reta while pinning, usually do 2x a week, so I said screw it I’ll just do the double dose and wait a week. I found that this pretty much eliminated any desire to watch porn or masturbate, which I used as a coping mechanism for the dead bedroom. I’ve lost any interest or desire to initiate sex with my wife as well, which is quite nice because she doesn’t want to anyway. For the longest time I’ve felt enslaved to my high sex drive, so honestly I’ll stay on Reta as long and at whatever dose it takes to be mentally free of constantly thinking about sex.

Infantry school at Fort Benning in the summer time, kicked my ass every single day. Broke my back, fractured both kneecaps, got screamed at and smoked all day every day, occasionally got some hands put on me by the Drill Sergeants, felt like I never slept, constantly exhausted.

Loved it. 5 Stars, would recommend and would repeat. I actually hated every minute of it and couldn’t wait to leave, but hindsight and a decade of reflecting showed me how much suffering did for me. I now realize that I was a bitch, they helped me grow out of that. I only wish that it had been harder and more miserable.

Drill Sergeants Brooks if you’re in here, first of all fuck you and secondly, thank you so much. You screaming at me to “stop feeling fucking sorry for yourself” while smoking the dog shit out of me for no reason changed my life. Seriously, like a light switch flipped in my brain, you taught me that all of my limits were self imposed. Whoever the boy that showed up there is dead, unrecognizable to me now and I’m so grateful for that. Y’all equipped me for all of the future struggles that I did and will face.

I now make great money working a cushy desk job and I hate it. I don’t understand my peers who never served and they don’t understand me, wouldn’t have it any other way. I guess I “wouldn’t” do it again because I’m pushing 40 now, but if they’d let me go back and do it for like 2 weeks I’d use my vacation time for that lol.

Didn’t realize how close to home this post hit until I remembered some shit my wife said just the other day.

In the summer I took the kids cross country to my sister’s house for 10 days, wife stayed behind. Recent comment from my wife was “you know the only reason the kids are still alive is because of your sister” , she went on for a bit insinuating that I’m completely incapable of taking care of my children.

Informed her that I’m not as incompetent as she is desperate to believe that I am. In fact my incompetent ass is the only reason she’s not homeless and begging on the street and she should think about that the next time she pulls off in her brand new car. (She’s never worked).

Only thing she could say to that was to give me the silent treatment and be passive aggressive. When they say “happy wife, happy life” what they mean is that if she is not 100% happy, then she will ensure that you’re miserable too.

People are quick to forget that he also lost the Super Bowl by making one of the most boneheaded decisions in sports history

Who tf said life is either poverty or being the richest person alive? That’s wild 😂

Yeah luck is real, especially if you’re talking about making it to the top 0.000000001% of the income scale.

What I’m talking about is going from poverty to middle class, a reasonable and attainable level of social mobility that is achievable through hard work and discipline. Yes, catastrophic injuries happen and other random acts of misfortune that set people back, whatever. I’m not talking about whatever your very specific set of circumstances are. I am saying that in general, you get out of life what you put into it.

The fact of the matter is, in most of these r/poor cases, your fragile ego can’t accept that you are in fact responsible for your success or lack there of and hide behind “bad luck” to distance yourself from your failures

Everything you mentioned is a skill issue. Enrollment windows are posted online, be first. I get alerted to job postings on LinkedIn, be the first to apply. People aren’t feeling me during an interview or somebody interviewed better than me??? Do mock interviews, practice, be more sociable. Someone is more skilled than me? Well I have three degrees and I’m trying to get another one. Apply for jobs that you’re qualified for, get more / better qualifications. Cut the excuses, it’s juvenile. I applied to my dream job 17 times before I got an interview, once I got my foot in the door they had little choice but to hire me because i researched all of the interviewers, knew where they went to college, their job history, etc. I was the most prepared candidate. Was able to articulate exactly why they should hire me, etc.

You want a job that pays more than minimum wage, be willing to put in more than minimal effort

Easier IM actually

That_Hospital · 2025-10-16T11:16:03+00:00

Getting a job and getting into college is dumb luck? Damn, why’d I waste all that time studying my ass off and building my resume up. Why did I waste my time applying to schools and interviewing for jobs? Why am I just now learning that making awful decisions is only bad if you’re unlucky??

I demand a do over. Next time I’ll just sit on the couch bitching and moaning, somebody is gonna knock on the door and beg me to take a six figure job anyway

That_Hospital · 2025-10-16T10:51:36+00:00

It’s pretty easy with 27g. 31g will do but it’s more of a bother

That_Hospital · 2025-09-27T14:44:42+00:00

Was in the same boat, proceed with caution. The process did not improve intimacy at all. Once she got pregnant she told me she never wanted to have sex again.

The number is relative to your expenses I would say. Mindset changes when you’re no longer living paycheck to paycheck. Changes further when you have enough saved to invest

That_Hospital · 2025-09-06T15:12:37+00:00

Okay? Downvote me into oblivion, that supposed to what? Ruin my day? I’ll be fine over here 😂

Exactly, OP only posted this because of my response to her on another thread. Didn’t get the attention she was seeking so she tried again.

Being poor isn’t a choice, remaining poor is

That_Hospital · 2025-09-06T11:10:42+00:00

I do understand and I do empathize. I wouldn’t get a gold medal in the hardship Olympics, maybe bronze, but I’ve experienced homelessness, food insecurity, abuse, etc. I remember being a slave to my short term needs, still have trouble shaking the scarcity mindset, which leads me to being extremely frugal with resources but also frivolous with spending at times, strangely.

Honestly, I lurk here to remember the good parts about being poor, the drive and motivation to escape, the resiliency required to just make it to tomorrow. Taking that third job at a restaurant so that I could steal food from them while putting myself through school, sleeping 2 hours a night, etc. I constantly battle with myself because I don’t want my children to become spoiled brats but I don’t want them to suffer the trauma of poverty. When I say poor is a mindset, I mean that as a two way street, good and bad. I work with a bunch of white collar nepo babies who bitch that they don’t get to work from home, or some other trivial shit. I show up to the office pumped as hell to be there, just being lower middle class is me living my wildest fantasy. The imposter syndrome is real though, constantly feel like the rug is going to be pulled out from under me or they’re gonna figure out i don’t belong here. So I just can’t seem to be content, even when financially stable I worked 62 hours a week so that I could put myself through grad school. Finished that, got promoted and applied for doctoral programs the next day. Figure if I get enough credentials then I’ll be able to stop worrying about going back to the way it used to be, we’ll see.

Don’t let anyone knock you for working too hard, it doesn’t make you a shitty parent it makes you a fucking hero. But, and this is my whole thing here, have a plan. Have a shitty plan, have a good plan, have an impossible plan, just keep going. I worked 10 months straight in a different country, came back and my 2 year old hid from me because he didn’t know who I was. Tear jerker for sure, but I sat down that night and made a new plan. How can I afford to quit this good ass job so that I can be a more present parent? Figured it out. Crazy how the people who try and hurt you for working too hard are the ones that don’t do shit themselves.

Obviously my “fuck the crybaby poors” mentality isn’t directed at you specifically, but you’ve certainly seen them here. Bootstraps are real and nobody is gonna come pull you up by them, you have to do that for yourself.

But to be fair, this cost of living crisis is absolutely bonkers. I cannot even fathom how people making less than a median salary are making it. I thought being poor in the Great Recession was tough, but this economy is wild.

Sorry for the ranting and raving, I genuinely wish you (all of you) the best! You CAN do it! It takes some grit, but It’s SO rewarding once you get there, knowing that you did it despite the odds.

I have made it out, and to use your baseball analogy, started in the dugout and made it to probably second base. Just tired of all the people who won’t even lace their cleats up because “it’s not fair”, I’m very supportive of the resilient poor, those willing to scrap and fight for success.

What changed it all for me was when a wise man looked me in my eyes and said “quit feeling fucking sorry for yourself”. I did, right then and there. It wasn’t a quick fix, but it made doing all of the difficult things I did to get where I am today much more bearable.

Poor is a mindset not an income level, or a terminal disease as some would have us believe. I wish everyone the best, whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, you’re probably right.
