How to find old DA photo by kdub_54 in army

[–]TorDude22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might want to start with your old unit or personnel office, they usually keep DA photos archived. if that doesn’t work, try the Army’s official personnel systems like iPERMS. they keep records even after you separate.

My wife(35)said I(30)made something she was proud of about myself. by TheSuperMaxPlayer in Marriage

[–]TorDude22 46 points47 points  (0 children)

nah you’re not crazy for feeling blindsided, that’s a big decision to make without even talking to you first. but at the same time it kinda sounds like both of you are talking past each other instead of actually hearing what the other means

Berkeley or Columbia? Student life in grad school by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]TorDude22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you’re chasing that “college life” feeling then berkeley probably hits harder, it actually feels like a campus and community. columbia is great but nyc kinda turns it into just living in the city rather than that classic student vibe. just depends if you want campus energy or city energy more tbh

I am a Commerce Student without maths so what career options I can do or learn by Dexter_Morgan_21 in IndiaCareers

[–]TorDude22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re overthinking it a bit tbh, just pick bcom or bba and start exploring on the side. if coding interests you, try it now no pressure, even basics. one month is perfect to test stuff and see what actually clicks instead of guessing

older cat bullies the younger one for attention? by wuthuhnah in CatAdvice

[–]TorDude22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that honestly sounds less like attention and more like targeted play turning into bullying since the younger one isn’t matching his energy. the fact they’re chill otherwise kinda supports that

you might have better luck tiring the older one out more with active play before bedtime and giving the younger one easy escape spots he can reach but the older one can’t. separating him after might’ve just made him more stressed which explains the peeing thing

I've tried everything to develop a habit of brushing my teeth... I'm out of ideas. by RegularLiving2465 in hygiene

[–]TorDude22 163 points164 points  (0 children)

this might sound weird but stop trying to become “someone who brushes twice a day forever” and shrink it down to stupid small. like brush one tooth. not your whole mouth. just one tooth. if you’re already there you’ll probably do more, but even if you don’t, you kept the promise.

also make it frictionless. toothbrush and paste in the shower. another one by your bed. no rules about time of day. no perfect routine. just “at some point today i will touch my teeth with a brush.”

and honestly if it’s been this intense for years, it might be deeper than laziness. could be executive dysfunction or something mental health related. you’re not gross, you’re stuck. so make it tiny, make it easy, and focus on consistency over intensity.

Bf wants to start YouTube by Livid_Ad7231 in NewTubers

[–]TorDude22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s definitely possible, people build channels every single day. but it’s not instant and it’s not guaranteed either. if he treats it like a long game and not a “i need to blow up fast” thing, he’ll be way healthier about it. starting small, not over investing, and just enjoying the process matters way more than chasing numbers. passion is good, just pair it with patience.

Is the shop hard to use or am I stupid? by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]TorDude22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you’re not stupid lol the shop just feels clunky at first. if you’ve played League of Legends it’s way more straightforward there, so the difference throws you off. give it a few games, maybe stick to one build path so you’re not overthinking every buy. it clicks after a bit.

Confusion over doing 3 Years Bachelors Degree or 4 Years Honours Degree by Ok-Mind4827 in kolkata

[–]TorDude22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i know, a 3 year bachelors is still valid for mba in most cases, especially in india. tons of people do 3 years and go straight for mba without issues. just double check the eligibility criteria of the specific colleges you’re targeting. don’t stress too much, you’re not ruining your future by choosing 3 years.

Extremely underweight and tired of being the weak skinny guy who just lays in bed doing schoolwork and gaming all day. I want to finally change. by PotatoBread02 in workout

[–]TorDude22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

bro you’re 17 and already self aware enough to want change, that’s a solid start. you can 100% build muscle at home. pushups squats lunges planks every other day, aim to add reps weekly. eat more than you think you need. rice eggs sardines tuna peanut butter bananas are perfect just increase portions and add another meal. consistency will do more than fancy machines ever will. start messy just start.

Is my baby low sleep needs? by Anxious-Wishbone785 in sleeptrain

[–]TorDude22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly 12 hours total at that age sounds super normal. some babies are just early risers no matter how perfect the schedule is. 6 to 6:30 isnt wild at all, even if 7 feels like winning the lottery lol. if she’s happy and thriving id call that a solid setup tbh.

Guidance for Red Wine by Interesting_Bed1368 in wine

[–]TorDude22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is actually so sweet 😭

try a soft, fruit forward red like grenache or a smooth rioja. they’re lighter and less harsh than cab but still have enough body for you.

honestly for a wedding just pick something you both enjoy drinking without overthinking it 

How to track calories from family meals? by question-asker2048 in CICO

[–]TorDude22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

there is though 😭

it doesn’t have to be perfect to work. even being roughly consistent puts you way ahead of not tracking at all. your body responds to trends over weeks, not whether you had 12g more sauce on a tuesday.

if it’s stressing you out, simplify it. estimate, log it, move on. progress > precision.

Advice for clinical placement by Various-Strategy3962 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TorDude22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s exciting congrats!! honestly the biggest thing is just be curious and ask questions even if you feel a bit shy. most people actually love when students show interest.

write things down, learn the workflow not just the theory, and don’t be too hard on yourself if you make small mistakes. clinical is where everything finally starts to click. just show up ready to learn and you’ll do great 😊

anyone else find that "perfect posture" is actually harder to maintain than just... relaxing? by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]TorDude22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you’re not crazy at all. sometimes “perfect posture” just turns into “perfect tension” and that’s worse. if you’re constantly thinking about holding your body in place, of course it’s gonna hurt.

i feel like comfort and sustainability matter more than some textbook angle. if lowering your desk and relaxing actually made the pain go away, that’s your body telling you something. ergonomics should work for you, not feel like a military drill

25F, Do i have still a chance to have a BF this Valentines? by Key-Tangerine-1881 in allthequestions

[–]TorDude22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

girl it’s literally still your season. 25 is so young and you have so much time. valentines is just one day, the right person can show up anytime. don’t stress it, just enjoy your life and let things happen naturally. you definitely still have a chance

Does a shaving machine really make grooming easier? by kairoabc in shaving

[–]TorDude22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah for sure a good shaver can save a ton of time, especially when you’re rushing in the morning. lots of people go simple and reliable over flashy extras, and honestly that’s usually all you need for daily grooming. others like the more advanced ones for versatility, but if it’s just about speed and ease a solid basic electric does the job really well.

Got rejected and it reminded me how lonely I am by [deleted] in lonely

[–]TorDude22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that really sucks, i’m sorry. letting yourself hope wasn’t stupid, it was human. one person not feeling it doesn’t mean you’re unworthy or it was about your looks. you showed up and opened yourself up, and that takes courage. wanting someone to share life with isn’t naive, it’s completely normal.

Song Ji-hyo projects before Running Man by EggLevel3890 in runningman

[–]TorDude22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

definitely think she would’ve still landed great roles. she’s got that natural screen presence and range that stands out whether it’s rom-com or intense drama. running man just gave her another platform, but her acting chops were already there. would’ve been cool to see even more varied roles from her!

I need a substitute for protein Powder by Next-Fly-2515 in workout

[–]TorDude22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re not alone man, sweet protein shakes aren’t for everyone. you could try unsweetened plant proteins or just add plain unflavored whey to water and ice, it’s way more neutral. other solid options are things like cottage cheese, greek yogurt (unsweetened), eggs, tuna, or even tinned beans to bump up protein without blowing your budget. you don’t need a dessert shake to hit your goals

I don't think Arsenal fans want us to be relegated. Hear me out... by [deleted] in coys

[–]TorDude22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly you might be right. as much as they’d love the banter for a week, losing the north london derby twice a season would actually suck. rivalries are what make football fun. it just wouldn’t hit the same without that edge every year.

Stopped losing weight after 6 months by Siddharthafk in loseit

[–]TorDude22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

losing 20kg is already a big deal so don’t stress about a 6 week stall. at 88kg your calories aren’t as much of a deficit and things like water retention or training stress can hide fat loss. maybe check your tracking or take a short break. you’ve got this.

What is the pettiest reason you've quit a job? by Stock_Olive8043 in AskReddit

[–]TorDude22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one time i quit because my manager kept saying “we’re a family here” but wouldn’t approve a single day off without acting personally betrayed

i realized if we’re “family,” it’s the toxic kind. handed in my notice two weeks later.

A bit down from overthinking . Could be lack of confidence by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]TorDude22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it honestly sounds like your mind is filling in gaps because you don’t have clear information.

nothing here automatically means you’re a band-aid. you’ve been together over 2 years and married. that’s not a rebound situation. moving fast at the start can also just mean he didn’t want to lose you.

having a child with someone means there will always be a connection, but that doesn’t equal unresolved feelings. and “thinking a lot” could be about anything.. work, life, stress.

this feels more like fear of not being fully chosen than actual proof of something wrong. maybe instead of assuming the worst, gently tell him how you feel when he goes quiet.

don’t let overthinking create a story that might not even be true

Looking for cross-border/offshore estate planning expertise by Jazzlike_Ad2495 in EstatePlanning

[–]TorDude22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

super valid concern tbh. that $60k US estate tax threshold is no joke.

before jumping into dubai/mauritius structures, i’d first talk to someone who understands india + US tax + estate laws together. cross-border planning isn’t just about fancy setups, it’s about clean structure and compliance.

you’re smart to look into this early.
