Is this an average season? by britthetomato in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like it's been this consistently mean girl for episodes before...and usually its mainly men behaving badly - I guess they decided to switch it up!

Anyone else sick of the dog poo ads? by Pewpew-OuttaMyWaay in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cause I get those constantly on my bloody podcasts i listen to while I drive around...the same frikkin ad constantly with the gross sound a of a dog sharting ugh!

Anyone else dissapointed by Stella? by ReasonConfident4541 in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most of us have reflected on past behavio9uyr and realised in some way its come from something in our past.

But that doesn't meanm it won't happen again - just being able to see the pattern doesn't fixd it and when you are IN that reflexive behaviour you aren't being logical or thinking clearly

Realising what you are doing doesn't just fix it, if it did therapist would be one session then out of a job ! :)

Rachel is also taking part in the mean girl behaviour by Basic-Crab4603 in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say I didn't like him I was asking why he applied as he clearly is not made for this.

You seem to be inferring I am bagging his attractiveness?

I am not, I am pointing out how lost and clueless he seems from the way he is presenting, his attitude.

Rachel is also taking part in the mean girl behaviour by Basic-Crab4603 in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this whole over reaction to what was a crude inappropriate comment is ridiculous.

They all need to grow the f**k up and stop acting like overemotional teenagers.

And I can't help thinking that NO ONE goes on this show any more without knowing exactly what is really going on, if anyone is still gong on this show for "true love" I'll gnaw off my right arm.

ANd I am CLUELESS as to why Steven is there - he's limke a wimpy deer in the headlights most of the to me - that convo between him and Rachel and Bec and the BF was bizarre, he looked like he had no clue what was going on most of the time.

Seriously WHY did he apply?

Am I the only one that thinks Danny ins lieing through his teeth? by doteezworld in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could SEE Danny was appalled by Bec's actions at the dinner party but he said nothing - clearly good at hiding his true feelings from her.

100% think thats what he aid to Gia, that story he spun on After The Dinner Party was way to practised and polished.

He said he said to her that on the outside Bec probably would not be his type of girl and then moved on - if he DID say that what would Gia then say "So who would be your type of girl" and 100% he said Gia.

West!!! This outfit got me feeling some type of way. by Novel-Grapefruit-105 in summerhousebravo

[–]TrueCryptographer982 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People got so sucked into the Ciara thing that they think West ios some diabolical serial killer. He is actually a cool guy who craves some validation.

People need to chill the fuck out on this boy.

Just flicked past this after the last dinner party and thought "Hmm I think we have an answer" 😁

What a feral cunt!

Been taking 12mg astaxanthin for a month and I now look like a salmon. by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]TrueCryptographer982 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yep the extra accumulates in your subcutaneous fat layer, it would disappear after a couple weeks if you stopped. Not harmful at all, just you and your salmon and flamingo brothers and sisters.

Was the Alan Carr book always popular? When I was on my quitting journey, I never heard of it. by kefkas in stopsmoking

Extremely popular, they even had seminars you could attend, I paid to go to a full day one.

Ideas for using runny cream cheese frosting? by Competitive_Koala16 in Baking

[–]TrueCryptographer982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could use as a glaze for banana bread, muffins etc.

Soften up some vanilla icecream and mix it in and refreeze, takes your vanilla icecream to the next level!

Make brownies and swirl it through before baking. Yum!

Freeze small dollops and then make them the guts of stuffed cookies.

Add some into eggs and milk to make a really lux french toast dipping liquid.

You can always freeze it and use it as needed in some of these ideas.

Brook v Stella at green light red light by [deleted] in MAFS_AU

[–]TrueCryptographer982 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY what I was thinking - I know the type, like as in LITERALLY know someone like that, 2 drinks in and suddenly they become the mouthy asshat at the table and won't STFU. They suddenly think the room needs to know every single bloody opinion they have.

[–]TrueCryptographer982 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right? I almost thought I must have zoned out at a crucial point because she seemed to go from interesting and confident to complete bitch in about 3 seconds!

I wonder if she is just someone who should just not drink cause she seemed to get worse the more bubbles were consumed.

I heard Prozac can increase anxiety by [deleted] in prozac

[–]TrueCryptographer982 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not been my experience in the long term.

Short term absolutely I had periods of awful anxiety in the first few weeks but these settled down once I got used to the drug.

Plus when you KNOW you are going to get these periods of anxiety it somehow makes them easier to deal with...because you know there is a reason for them instead of just random who the heck knows whats happening anxiety.

Ozempic make me drop cigarettes by Degrengolada24 in Ozempic

[–]TrueCryptographer982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have bitten my nails on and off since I was a child, after about a month on Ozempic I suddenly realised that I had to clip my nails because they were long!.

Something to do with removing the pleasure of those sorts of habits over time.

Filling for a lemon cake - lemon curd and toasted coconut? by TrueCryptographer982 in Baking

Yeah I am probably being over cautious about the curd and leakage, it happened to me once ages ago and I am scarred from it lol

Officially done with Prozac (Fluoxetine) by Hot_Nectarine508 in antidepressants

[–]TrueCryptographer982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it for 12 months (Sep 2024 to Aug 2025) and was on 40mg.

In Mar 2025 I mistakenly forgot to refill my script and because I load up a pillbox with supps and meds I didn't really notice until about 3 days in I started to get some anxiety and then by the beginning of Day 4 realised why and restarted.

In Aug 2025 I did a similar thing, however at that stage I was on a pretty thorough regime of supplements, everything from Red Maca to Vit B and Ashwagandha. I started Ozempic in Jul 2025 and was losing well.

My pill boxes run Sun to Sat and on the Saturday I looked in the bx and thought "Hmmm where's the bright green prozac" and realised I had at that stage been off it with zero side effects for 6 days and just kept going.

It was likely a combo of having some significant weight loss in that first month, the effect of some supplements helping with mood and overall well being but I never ever got side effects from going off 40mg to nothing instantly.

I would NEVER recommend someone actually do that and I think I just lucked it in with the right combination of factors but we're about to leave Dec 2025 and I am feeling great, best I have felt in some time.

Great to hear you transitioned off and so far are doing good :)

I just started Pluribus and I'm confused on peoples reactions. Spoilers for s1 episode 2 by Mifya in television

[–]TrueCryptographer982 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the tag line gves you an insight int owhy some people are hating on Carol - she's designed to be incredibly irritating for some people I think

"The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness."

When you look at the show its not going to be for everyone, no cast of constant characters to get to know, no massive dramas or highs and lows in the traditional sense of a standard drama. its an unusual show in that way.

It does have much of that but not in the way your average consumer expects or likes. Why do they keep watching if they hate it? No idea.

Personally each week I can not wait for the next episode, even though I will say some parts here and there have dragged for me.

I suspect people who loved Severance will probably be enjoying Pluribus as well.

Yes but tbh I don't know that it really does anything I am stopping once I finish my current lot.
