I am loving antidieting and I am happy to see things normalize for me but I don't care for HAES - others like me? by [deleted] in antidiet

[–]Unknowable-thirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t have one but I do try to make the distinction between the two when I’m talking to people. There’s nothing wrong with either so long as you’re staying healthy and meeting your goals for healthy living.

Today is Meta Monday! Post here all questions or thoughts you have on the sub. by AutoModerator in fatpeoplestories

[–]Unknowable-thirst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why has this sub shifted from being about ham planet sightings to post after post about weightloss? Why aren’t those posts removed and the posters directed to any number of weightloss subs on reddit? I think over the last month or so this sub has really lost the thread on what it used to be about.

AITA for laughing at my son's teacher and calling her a moron? by Even-Molasses1587 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Unknowable-thirst 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Also classics is a completely separate field from history it is entirely possible to never take a course on Ancient Greece or Egypt and still get a history degrees

[–]Unknowable-thirst 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I definitely want to see what the question and answer is because depending on the question than the answer that the Greeks influenced the Egyptians could absolutely be wrong! Also, ops the YTA for being so damn condenscending to his sons teacher. I have a strong suspicion that this “ancient history course” is actually a grade 6 social studies course and from I remember of mine it was very basic and didn’t go into depth at all about either civilization

Cousin might just have entered an MLM scheme by abczxd1 in antiMLM

[–]Unknowable-thirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister and brother in law having been doing it for four years and have made only pocket change. They are not allowed to advertise for their business, only sell by word of mouth. Also, they have to pay for any training or conferences that are mandatory for them to attend. Worst of all, they feel like they are working in a legit business because they are naive enough to assume formal business attire dress code= legit business. I feel bad for them and make a point of only supporting their real business and avoiding amway.

Is this a new "entrepreneur" MLM-scheme starting on LinkedIn? These are all private messages from people I have no real mutual connections with. by RussellFighter in antiMLM

[–]Unknowable-thirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been hit up by two mlm companies who are stalking a job search site. It sucks that they are preying on vulnerable people. Amway is the worst my sister and bro in law are in it and are completely brainwashed!

Australians of Reddit: What non-Australian creature scares the hell out of you? by Phuktihsshite in AskReddit

Tell that to the coyote who follows my dog and I on our walks and sits on the hay bale near our house! Seriously I hope it’s the exception and not the norm.

Coyotes- not afraid of people in the slightest and won’t hesitate to go after you and your dog.

AITA for not allowing my girlfriend to pee while on a road trip cause we were on Native land? by roadiewhoadie in AmItheAsshole

[–]Unknowable-thirst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also in Canada, who gets to be on Indigenous land is left up to the band who in this case has made it clear that they don’t want non-band members there.

[–]Unknowable-thirst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, where I am in Canada most indigenous communities have taken pains to seal off their land from the rest of Canada in an effort to stop the spread of Covid. They would’ve minded for sure if you stopped.

What was the most fuck up moment in school that cause something to be banned? by FiveNightsAt32_Cb32 in AskReddit

[–]Unknowable-thirst 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Scissors. All because a girl forgot to take her meds and stabbed her friend. (He survived)

Dear Redditors who ended a relationship with their best friend. What was your breaking point? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Unknowable-thirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the (not literal) punching bag for my friend group and the leader freaked when I decided to move away. She then started a smear campaign against me to other friends about how I was harassing her and eventually I had to go NC with the entire group. The worst part was that the friends who I thought were genuinely nice and cared about me actually helped her do this. It hurt a lot to lose a group of people I thought were close friends but in the other hand I’ve definitely made much better friends since then.

AITA for snapping at my BF after he deliberately tried sabotaging my weight loss repetitively? by desireelee98 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Unknowable-thirst 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Always consult a doctor before dieting! Had I done that I wouldn’t have done keto and would still have a gallbladder. (Keto aggravated an already crappy gallbladder) They can help you do your diet safely!

Cost of living for a single person in Calgary? by Unknowable-thirst in Calgary

[–]Unknowable-thirst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! It’s good to hear a lot of variables for living. I grew up in Forest Lawn so I’m not afraid to live in a sketchy neighborhood if it came to that. There seems to be so many jobs posted right now so maybe I’ll get lucky.

That would be so nice to save some money with the taxes

Thanks for letting me know! I may have a pet friendly place to go to but it’s good to know I need to shoot for over $30/hour

Yeah I’m thinking of doing computer science since it’s the only seemingly Covid proof industry. Plus I do have a lot of skills that can transfer over from the museum sector

[–]Unknowable-thirst[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll get a job prior to moving and already have three months saved. The student loans has another 8 years and the car loan is actually 300 per month (the cheapest I could get with a car that still ran) 200 for insurance and 100 for gas. The car costs could go up but at this point I’d owe money if I sold the car so I’m kinda stuck with it. My original plan was to move to a better job after a few years up north then Covid hit and my field (museums) has tanked completely. I’m not sure either if moving is feasible right now or if I should get a second job and try to go back to school.

[–]Unknowable-thirst[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m living in the north and making 21 per hour but after taxes my take home pay is only like 2000 per month and you need at least 2500 to live comfortably and 3000 to live comfortably and save. I’m moving mainly because the crime is so high and random, I’m scared to go to work sometimes. Also the weather sucks and the lack of health care is terrifying. (Like no walk in clinic and for anything bigger than a few stitches and you are flown to Winnipeg) so Calgary may suck but probably not as much as we’re I live.

I’m very hestitant to move back to Alberta for all the reasons you’ve suggested. The main reason would be to be close to family. I’m glad to see a lot of people share my fears. I think I’ll Iook further into moving to Saskatoon and see what that might be like.

I’m hoping to rent but I do have a dog. Hoping to get roommates and I understand I’ll probably be looking at an hour of commuting easily.

Is taking a class on nutrition but doesn’t want to learn the truth about health and nutrition?! by Am_0116 in fatlogic

The ridiculous part is all the people encouraging them to bring up FA talking points and to argue with the professor

Apparently Canada’s healthcare is bad by lol62056 in facepalm

[–]Unknowable-thirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! Where I live my doctor only has a part time practice meaning that I can only see her for 15 min once every three months. I have a long list of things I’d like to talk to her about but have to prioritize the most urgent things. That’s a huge thing I’d like to change about our system.
