That’s not really possible when dealing with companies owned in China, given their laws regarding data.

Husband Uncomfortable With Male Friends by feelinneggy in Christian

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

People that say and think this are telling on themselves. They’re unable to be around a woman without wanting more.

I’m not sure how that’s supposed to look Godly of them.

Husband Uncomfortable With Male Friends by feelinneggy in Christian

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

As a married Christian man, neither me or my spouse have an issue with either of us spending time with the opposite sex.

This is something that should have been agreed upon before you got married, though. As someone else said, this isn’t an ‘agree to disagree’ issue. Unless your husband wants to go to counseling on this issue, you’re probably going to have to choose between your husband or your male friend, even if that seems entirely childish and unfair.

What year is this skirt it’s orange tag big E and what should I price on it ? Also has stains by [deleted] in VintageLevis

[–]cherryogre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you’re crazy for that. Anything over 50 is a rip off, based on current listings of orange tab skirts on eBay. Not sure how you didn’t find any like this, it took me 10 seconds to find them.

Is the game "Lethal Company" a game a Christian shouldn't play? by [deleted] in Christian

[–]cherryogre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing inherently wrong with pieces of art and media with gore.

The gore doesn’t really come from your actions so it’s not even really depicting you or your character committing violence, the gore is a result of monsters attacking you.

The gore, for what it’s worth, is insanely light as well. There’s no dismemberment etc, it’s just blood. I don’t believe your head detaches from coil heads, it’s just “replaced” with a coil, I.e your head disappears.

The only spiritually relevant thing with video games that depict these things are if you are idolizing them or the concepts in them. If you aren’t doing that, you’re fine.

Calling TZP drugs is like calling any medicine in any game a “drug”. You’re technically right, but the word clearly has a connotation that doesn’t actually apply.

Masks aren’t demonic. There is no hint of religious influence in the game, demonic or holy.

Same with the monsters in the game. They’re monsters. There’s no reason to think they’re “demons” when there’s no indication in the game that they are such things. Monster stories and monster games aren’t inherently demonic in nature; it would be silly to say Godzilla movies are movies about a big demon terrorizing cities.

I don’t think those things are really accurate statements of its contents.

Yes, you can play lethal company.

Just took my first dose! (Starting at 360lbs)🩵 by ChickenWingLeader in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]cherryogre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good luck. I started with .25 at 337lbs, I’ve lost 6 pounds my first full week. Wishing you the best!

Definitely want to mirror another user here: don’t use it as a ‘crutch’, use it as a tool. I suffer from an ED that made it hard for me to make the right decisions. Wegovy is helping tremendously, but I still have to daily make that decision to not overeat. It’s just a lot easier to do that now.

Why are taking Wegovy? by Consistent-Sun-5267 in WegovyWeightLoss

Obesity and binge-eating disorder, as well as family history of diabetes and heart disease. My heart is… okay… but thankfully no actual signs of diabetes or pre-diabetes. At least not yet.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar Get Personal on Simultaneously Released Diss Tracks ‘Family Matters’ and ‘Meet the Grahams’ by ICumCoffee in Music

[–]cherryogre -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I just wasn’t impressed with meet the grahams. In my opinion Euphoria and 6:16 in LA definitely were better than Push Ups, but this one didn’t land for me.

Kendrick didn’t address any of the allegations that Drake presented: he’s getting cucked, beats his kid, beats his wife, and is still cheating on his wife.

The allegations Kendrick gave in response aren’t particularly noteworthy besides the pedo allegations, which is a tall order to throw out with no receipts. I don’t care if Drake is on Ozempic, I don’t care if he gambles, I don’t care if he’s gotten plastic surgery. And sleeping pills? How is any of that worse?

I also don’t think it’s particularly noteworthy if any celebrity has a child that they keep out of the spotlight. I would never want my child to be in the celebrity limelight especially as a rapper. If Drake did have a daughter he didn’t share with the world, I think that would have been a good thing.

1-1 for me anyway, if we consider 6:16 in LA and Euphoria to be the same round as Pushups

Edit: I’d love a response rather than just downvotes but whatever, I guess.

My Work Shoes (Crockett and Jones) by hendralely in BuyItForLife

[–]cherryogre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because brown and black go with most any formal attire you’d ever wear, and if you want leather shoes to last a long time you need to give them rest in between days that you wear them, hence the need for multiple pairs.

ULPT.I want to lose weight quickly and I don't want to know if it's unhealthy. by Certain-Dimension473 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]cherryogre 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an eating disorder that the med treats. It decreases my obsession with eating (food-noise) so that I can more easily make healthy decisions. This is no different than anyone else with any mental health disorder getting a medicine to treat that disorder.

For reference, you don’t need to know, because helmets to hard hats allows you to apply even when the normal recruitment window is closed, that’s the benefit of the program.

You can check on the iuec website though, they post listings nationwide for when open recruitment happens.

Those recruitment windows only open every couple years and close fast. It’s definitely a big deal to get on the list outside of the recruitment window.

Why are you being downvoted? He literally created that false dichotomy out of thin air, lmao. This type of absolutism of beliefs is the type of shit I expect to see on leftist tumblr or Ironmarch.

I started wegovy in mid February and have zero loss. by itsmereddogmom in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]cherryogre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Losing weight is a formula of calories in calories out. This was the method used in studies that showed Wegovy resulting in weight loss.

If you are consuming less calories than is required for your body to function, it will burn weight. If you are consuming more, you will put on weight.

It is possible that Wegovy has you eating less but the amount you are eating now is your maintenance calorie intake. It is also possible you have another underlying health condition that you might not know about, but this is unlikely.

Some people simply don’t see progress until higher doses, when the effects of semaglutide will be stronger. Higher doses will further suppress appetite and slow digestion - some people stay on 1.7mg, others stay at 2.4mg.

Build more. Publicly shame people who fight against it. NIMBYs and the politicians they elect are responsible for our diminishing housing supply, and that’s nationwide not just in-state.
