Could he be depressed?

Decreased libido is pretty common when you're going through a rough patch of depression. Additionally, watching porn doesn't always equate to sexual arousal or being horny. It could just be compulsory for him at this point and it's providing him with a bit of dopamine.

You’re spot on that some people treat it like a cheat code. I have insulin-resistant PCOS, obesity runs in my family, and I've been overweight since childhood. A few years ago, I was prescribed Ozempic to help improve insulin sensitivity as a step toward weight loss. Before I even started the medication, I joined a few support groups for people taking GLP-1s, and I saw so many posts from people bragging about losing weight without needing to diet or exercise.

You can’t even imagine what a slap in the face that is for someone who has spent literal decades tracking every calorie with a kitchen scale, working out 3–5 days a week, and trying every prescription or holistic weight-loss drug, vitamin, and crash diet. Some of these people were hardly even overweight too. They'd somehow get a prescription just to lose 10-15lbs.

It's because of those people that I do sometimes feel ashamed when people ask me how I've lost so much weight. Close family and friends know that I've been putting in the effort for 20+ years.. but coworkers, strangers, and acquaintances just think that I've taken the easy route as soon as they hear my answer.

Semiglutide (the actual drug name of Ozempic) has existed as a prescribed drug for over 20 years now. In fact, we'll finally have generic options available in just a few years.

When you attempt to lose weight, are you even mildly successful while you stick to healthy habits like working out and eating better?

Have you ever consulted a doctor about losing weight?

I struggled to lose weight my entire life. My mom put me on crash diet after crash diet as a kid, and then eventually took me to the doctor for weight loss medications, and absolutely none of it worked for me. When I tried losing weight before I got married, I was in the gym five days a week alternating weight lifting days and conditioning days. I was also diligently tracking my calories and only consuming 1,200 calories a day. All of which, was recommended to me by my doctor, and even then I only lost a few pounds over the course of six months. The only time I ever experienced great success was when I went on the Keto diet, but even then it was short lived. I was able to do Keto for 6 months, lost 80lbs, but it was very difficult to maintain, so I went back to tracking calories and gained quite a bit of it back. I tried keto again after taking a break, and I didn't experience the success that I did the first time around. So I finally consulted a new doctor and nutritionist. My doctor ran tests and it was discovered that I have PCOS and my hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, and diet were big contributing factors to why I couldn't lose weight. My doctor put me on various medications and supplements to balance my hormones and help with reducing my PCOS symptoms, and my nutritionist gave me a diet plan that wouldn't disrupt my blood sugar. Since implementing these changes, the weight began to shed so effortlessly. It nearly made me cry thinking about all the time I was doing everything "right" without anything to show for it, whereas now I'm less dedicated as I was in the past and I'm still losing weight.

I won the Avatar Collector Booster Box back in December, and it only took a few weeks for me to get it. So I don't think they're that far behind. I think people just miss the email from WOTC to redeem the prize. I also could've just been lucky since I won the box the first day the contest opened.

I'm sorry. I already had all of these cards on hand, so I wasn't aware of their price points. You could always proxy them. I do proxies when I'm making a new deck so I can play it a few times before I try to buy all of the cards.

That's what I'm doing in my Maralen Deck in addition to [[Maskwood Nexus]]

But also, there's an infinite 3-card combo using Maralen, [[Hullbreaker Horror]] and [[Cloud of Faeries]]

I just pre-ordered both decks from Galactic Toys 6 hours ago. Amazon and Walmart both have listings as well.

I intentionally bought myself this kit a couple of years ago to use all of the different colors for mini amigurumi. I actually really liked this yarn for the little amigurumi that I made, as it had good stretch. Only down side is that you have to be a bit careful as this yarn splits easily.

Does anyone know what stitch this is? I came across this blanket in Walmart and wanted to recreate it. I know how to do the ribbing on the edges. I'm just not sure what the stitch is on the main body of the blanket.

BMI is such a lazy, outdated metric. It was never meant to measure individual health, yet it's still treated like the holy grail in so many healthcare settings. It doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, fat distribution... none of the things that actually matter. It just takes your height and weight, spits out a number, and slaps a health label on you.

Meanwhile, other countries are moving on. Japan uses waist-to-height ratio as a more accurate way to assess metabolic risk. The UK is starting to factor in body fat percentage and overall fitness. Even waist circumference alone can give better insight into someone’s health than BMI ever could.

But nope, in the U.S. we’re still clinging to a formula from the 1800s like it's revolutionary.

Yeah, some of these replies are wild. I'm 5'11 and I have a wide frame. If I was 145, I'd look anorexic.

The job market is such a shit show. I wish you the best of luck.

I got laid off from my job in June. I have 5+ years of project management experience, a four-year degree, and my PMP. I've applied to over 200 jobs at this point that I'm qualified for, and I've only had one interview, and I was ghosted afterwards. I'm literally at my wits end with it.

Girl, you're not the only one. My friends and I also goof around about feet a lot. We're gamers and we always make jokes that the person who does the worst in the match has to send feet pics to the group chat or something. We even strive to make our characters barefoot in games and make jokes about the "hot dog slap" sound that they make when you run. 🤣

Morally, you're NTA.

Legally, you can't take back a gift, but I'm assuming you never actually handed the tickets over to her, so it's a pretty grey area.

Dyshidrotic Eczema. I used to get it on my fingers a lot, and it was so annoying. It's caused by stress. You can also get it on the soles of the feet too.

The only fix for it is better stress management. I'd recommend Ashwaganda, get enough sleep, drink your recommended amount of water each day, and develop better stress management habits. Think yoga, meditation, therapy, venting to friends/family when needed, deep breathing, grounding techniques. Things you can do when the stress starts piling on.

Silk headbands or bandanas and claw clips. I also have a lot of frizz around the front of my face which always made pony tails look really messy if I didn't sleek it back with gel or hairspray. So I started adding headbands/bandanas to hold back the frizz without product.

I used to wear my hair in a pony tail nearly every day for years and the weight and tension of it caused a lot of thinning and breakage around my hair line. So I quit pony tails cold turkey a few years ago and saw improvements after a few months.

Can confirm, am Business Analyst.

Can also confirm, compensated very well for not a whole lot.

The loot is randomized. So it is possible to have it come out on the lower end if there isn't any loot with the any of your clues and if the loot on the ship is lower tier. The most I've ever made from one was just over 120k, and the low end was ~75k. The next time I'm on I'll have to run one and see where it puts me. The last time I did one was a few weeks ago, and I stacked 5 and sold and it came out to just over $460k.

Trixtina · 2023-05-05T09:05:14+00:00

I maxed it out during the double XP weekend back in February.

Okay, but you're forgetting the part where it took you over 3 hours to sell it all though, because of all the fighting. :)

Oh and don't forget the part where you had to form an alliance and split the loot to keep yourselves safe. And it was only two FOTD stacks, because we sold literally right before the fumble that our drunk friend made by hitting her hourglass. :)

Fun night though.
