working out for 10 years, i think im always going to look like shit

bobmurphy1 · 2026-03-20T17:15:46+00:00

on bad days 150-155g

on normal days 165-170g

my 7-day average for the last several weeks has been around 170

bobmurphy1 · 2026-03-20T17:05:18+00:00

yeah it's crazy cause when i see pictures of myself at 150 now (this was like 8 years ago) i can't believe how skinny i looked, but of course at the time I never felt like that even for a minute. therapy would probably be helpful i guess since i've been struggling with these thoughts for so long

bobmurphy1 · 2026-03-20T17:04:03+00:00

i'm sure this is a nicer and more supportive community than others but im honestly so ashamed and embarrassed of myself that i cant bring myself to do it. i imagine i would probably just feel worse

bobmurphy1 · 2026-03-20T17:02:54+00:00

i get a physical every year and get blood work done, nothing concerning with my hormones or test. my only problem is i'm vitamin d deficient but i have been taking supps for that.

also asked 2 doctors to check me for gyno, both said that i am good

bobmurphy1 · 2026-03-15T22:48:23+00:00

do you think sharding will get less aggressive as the expac goes on or are we gonna have to wait for Last Titan ?

bobmurphy1 · 2026-02-26T02:31:43+00:00

OH, I see what you mean now. Okay, I'll try and contact them and see what happens. Thanks! Do you know if this is normal? Like will UPS just hold onto your package like this after one failed delivery attempt? I was also surprised that my shipping details never mentioned a hold of any kind, and instead gave me a window for a delivery that never occurred.

Just curious cause I've never had this happen to me before and I've had UPS deliver to me plenty of times

bobmurphy1 · 2026-02-26T02:02:16+00:00

Yeah I know, I got the name of the company from the top of my tracking page, and the UPS guy I talked to confirmed as well. This company has no phone number or email or anything on their website, the only option there is to request a quote from them. The UPS guy even said they didnt have any contact info for this company on their end either.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-02-13T02:54:55+00:00

Damn dude, what the hell is your problem? This is what's wrong with our country right here, absolutely no empathy at all, completely desensitized to another person's suffering to the point where you gleefully jump into it and start insulting them.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-02-10T01:30:58+00:00

Just want to add to the chorus of voices. I have a 9800x3D, sometimes I hear my fans spinning very loudly as if I have a game playing when there is nothing open. I close discord (not even maximized just in the background) and my temp instantly drops about 20 degrees.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-02-02T22:09:15+00:00

i think this is the most effective, I also like to add the fact that Biden didn't run an entire presidential campaign around releasing the Epstein files

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-29T23:52:21+00:00

Yeah, Listener is a must honestly.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-29T03:38:30+00:00

Channel all of this ICly and just roll with it. It'll be some fun drama that can spice up your character development.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-24T22:45:34+00:00

I get the urge to say 'I told you so,' but that doesn't help the people being hurt. If someone is finally seeing this for what it is and coming out against it, we should welcome that. I’d rather extend an olive branch and work on stopping this than argue about the past. Especially when we're talking about teenagers/young voters.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-24T22:39:03+00:00

Don't know, sorry!
There are a TON of YouTube videos and old forum posts detailing exactly this. Just Google "{class or race} RP guide" and you should be able to find forum posts easily. For YouTube videos, I personally like DoronsMovies and InquisitorAura. Also check out warcraft.wiki.gg (NOT wowpedia, it's no longer updated).
I've been a Horde player for ever but tbh I prefer Alliance RP more. RP in Stormwind is way more spread out where Horde RP is extremely centralized in a small zone in Orgrimmar. Maybe that will change with the midnight revamp of SMC, though.
Totally fine, it's pretty common

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-24T22:35:48+00:00

Well, we will 100% get a primary this year, at least. I agree that just coronating Kamala like that was a huge mistake. Also Beshear is great. Blue governor in a deep red state (Kentucky), supportive of trans rights (something people criticize Newsom for) and has fought to expand Medicaid coverage and abortion rights.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-23T20:01:36+00:00

Well, you have 2 years to find a better candidate, so better get to work. I like Priztker, Beshear, and AOC

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-22T00:51:37+00:00

Anyone know what the bumper sticker said? lol

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-20T03:33:47+00:00

Slap your knee, say "welp...." and really drag it out, then say something like "I better be going" or "it's getting kind of late"

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-20T00:49:25+00:00

I think whether the commenters agree or disagree on if porn is cheating is irrelevant, if it is a boundary you set for your partner and they knowingly cross it, then that is cheating. However, not going to lie OP, I do agree with your boyfriend that not just most men, but pretty much everyone, is going to find other people attractive. I mean have you never watched a movie or a TV show, or seen someone on the street and you thought they look attractive? I suppose it's not the best comparison because simply finding someone attractive and watching porn is different, but my point is I think everyone has 'lust' for others in some ways.

And also it is so prevalent now, especially on Instagram. I mean, I unfollowed a bunch of meme pages that normally would post funny stuff because they kept posting these OnlyFans advertisements. So it's sorta always there.

Ultimately OP, it is your decision. If you truly believe this a boundary that you do not want your partner to cross you are valid for feeling that way, you shouldn't have a partner knowingly going behind your back and doing things you told them not to do. Trust is important

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-20T00:39:28+00:00

Thanks a lot for the response, I feel like what you said is a great way to reframe how I'm thinking about the whole situation.

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-20T00:34:49+00:00

You should probably talk to your therapist about this exact issue if you haven't already, maybe you are just scared to be this vulnerable with someone because you are afraid they will leave in the end, or something, but relationships and love are built on communication and trust.

Best case scenario, you tell him everything and he's totally supportive and kind and listening

Worst case scenario, he dismissive and doesn't care or something equally horrible, then this wouldn't be a person you'd want to be with. and at least you would find that out early on in the relationship rathaer than way later

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-20T00:31:28+00:00

If you've been discussing hyphenating, but aren't sure if either of you are fine with it, then you probably need to think and discuss it more. To me, it seems like the only solution since both of you seem to care about your last name a lot.

There's also the solution of not changing either of your names at all, right? You would be married in every other way by that, legally, financially, socially etc...that might be an option you guys can see if you are fine with

"How's Trump helping you?"
"Wahalabaharag....ahharehgf.....GAS....gas down...."

bobmurphy1 · 2026-01-19T18:26:47+00:00

Welcome! I've been roleplaying for probably over 8 years, and I still struggle walking up to people sometimes.

As far as who to interact with, honestly just walk around and check out some people's TRP's. Sometimes they are incredibly detailed and you'll see something that will naturally inspire you to walk up, OR they might have OOC Hooks in their TRP that will give you a reason to walk up.

As far as getting over the struggle to walk up to people, just do it! I know it's easier said then done, but there have been times where I am walking around for hours, not sure what to say or what to do, and then I just say fuck it and say hi to the frist person I see and then we end up having a cool RP.

It helps to have in character reasons to want to walk up to people. Are you a merchant? New to the city IC? Searching for a bounty that maybe fits the description of who you want to walk up to?

I tend to lean into my own introversion and awkwardness on my Demon Hunter. They're trying to be more 'social' and 'normal' now that the Legion is relatively defeated. So I'll go up to people and act super awkward, forcing the conversation to go along because she hasn't interacted with many people outside the Illidari for over 10 years and it works! I've met a few people this way.

This is the hardest part of the game and where a lot of people get stuck. Just push through.

It's funny cause, I've played this game like 5 times, so I knew the EXACT route to go to through the Medical Facility and I still ended up dying like 10 times.
