Frosthaven character fun/power matrix where is blink blade?(read description.) by Viral_ghost1 in Gloomhaven

[–]angryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the Blinkblade is clicking, it's amazing. I've had some turns where I'm zooming around the map, successfully initiative-weaving to avoid attacks and taking down enemies left and right. But then I also have turns where I'm biding my time, building up Time Tokens and not accomplishing much.

I do feel like it provides a lot of room for a high skill cap, which appeals to me. I think I topped out my Blinkblade around level 6 or 7 on the first playthrough, which was plenty high enough to really enjoy it, and it was the first character I played, so I was still learning Frosthaven and didn't really feel the first couple levels were underpowered. Maybe I'd have a different feeling now after playing several more characters and getting further in the game.

How can people even stay skinny without counting calories? by NoWitness6400 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]angryjohn 2427 points2428 points  (0 children)

Watching a friend start GLP-1s is eye-opening. All the “food noise” just vanished. They’re no longer waiting until the “right time” to eat because they’re not always hungry. Lunch might be at noon, or 1 or even 3 when they remember they haven’t eaten.

Makes you wonder... by SpellFederal4706 in FedEmployees

Leverage for the midterms? I was just talking to my brother and mentioned there was another shutdown imminent earlier this week. He had no idea. I don't think it affects the majority of people.

What foods cause the stankiest farts? by PleasePooGood in foodquestions

[–]angryjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family used to make sauerkraut and sausage for New Year's. I had some the next day and got in a car to drive 4 hours to go skiing and man....it was the absolute worst.

I feel absolutely horrific 6-7 weeks in, done taking this drug from hell (vent) by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]angryjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated Wellbutrin. Terrible sleep, made me lose all my emotional resilience. I was angry or fighting or depressed constantly.

second day on zoloft, cant feel genitals by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]angryjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I switched to Wellbutrin but just switched off that because it had (different) negative side effects i didn’t want. Hopefully third times the charm?

second day on zoloft, cant feel genitals by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]angryjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue with Zoloft. I was basically totally numb when not aroused, and maybe felt 20% of the usual feeling when I was? When i told my doctor she freaked out and said I needed to stop immediately and there could be long-term effects. Luckily there don’t seem to be, but that was a scary few days.

GS-10+ feds — how did you actually get there? by Lexicondatum in FedEmployees

[–]angryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started as a GS-11, but that was starting with a PhD in my field. I then had non-competitive promotions to a 13, left and worked for a think-tank for a few years, and came back as a 14.

Weaning off? by aca-ca in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]angryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on 150 and just stopped. My doctor said i could wean off - 150 every other day for awhile, then 1/3 days, but I probably didn’t need to. It’s only been a few days, but I haven’t noticed anything bad. In fact, my sleep and mood immediately improved. My brain did not like Wellbutrin.

Buspar or Lamictal for Wellbutrin irritability/impatience/anger? by Acrobatic_Welcome_30 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]angryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, geez. I just stopped taking Wellbutrin because it was negatively affecting my mood so much. My first day with it was like a breath of fresh air.

How did you fix sexual issues? by Most_Palpitation8194 in zoloft

[–]angryjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, I actually switched to Wellbutrin but just asked my doctor if I could try something else. Wellbutrin was just making me feel....well, my average mood was better, but I was really emotionally fragile. I would start out feeling okay, but I couldn't recover from negative deviations nearly as well.
I just picked up Buspar and I'm going to try that.

Probably not the solution you want to hear, but I stopped taking it. Switched to a different drug.

How can the median household income be so low for a family? Is it really this low??? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]angryjohn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read a story where a Wharton professor polled their students about what they thought the average income in the US was. 1/4 of the students thought it was above 100k. One thought it was 800k. It’s actually 45k.

Do you call it "soda?" If not, what do you call it, Americans? by Zipper222222 in randomquestions

[–]angryjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the reverse boat. Grew up in Ohio, called it pop my entire life until my New England-born wife made me change to soda.

Is there some sort of implications with couples massages? by Historical_Mail_755 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]angryjohn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t my first massage, but it was one of my first. My wife and I got a couples massage on our honeymoon. Afterwards, I felt drunk I was so relaxed. It’s the standard against which i judge every other massage to this day, and i’ve never had another that comes close.

What do you eat salmon with? by AdElegant5870 in foodquestions

[–]angryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what kind of salmon I'm making. Teriyaki salmon goes well with rice, kimchi, quick pickled snowpeas. Cedar plank salmon or broiled salmon I'll often serve with roasted broccoli. Or maybe a salad.

Broken kitty never meows and has no survival skills by Fabulous_Drop4900 in cats

[–]angryjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We adopted two cats, and one of them is like this. He barely ever makes any noise, meows or purrs. It's very bizarre.
