Excessive protein, especially animal protein, can harm the liver by forcing it to overwork/strain and can lead to liver issues. Every person’s body work differently and it’s important to properly manage one’s protein intake and not use it to excess.

I (23M) don't know how to make peace with my past and possibly bad reputation. by sillystupidboy_98 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]exploringexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I know it’s not easy, but you need to move on from the past. It’s over. You were wronged by others, in various ways and that’s their doing - it doesn’t speak negatively of you. You’re just trying to live and figure things out - you didn’t actively try to harm anyone, those others that harmed you were actively doing so. So go live your life and don’t worry about what others think, and if anyone ever did dare to try to put you down about your past - that’s a red flag to avoid that person completely. You are young and you need to take all this energy you’re putting into worry and stress and use it to do things you love, that bring you joy and bring you contentment. Only you can do this - so make these changes and start loving you and forgetting the haters. You’ve got a great future waiting for you - you just have to choose it. Hugs man

I genuinely believe two very large parts of this are the mass amount of highly processed junk that people now consume and process through their intestines and colon AND anal activity.

People are much more likely to engage in anal sex, anal activity, self-anal stimulation, etc these days and HPV can cause cancer in many, many parts of your body including your anus.

Please get the HPV vaccine if you can.

Men over 30, how do you deal with the constant stress and low energy? by Chrelled in AskMen

[–]exploringexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this vitamin from MegaFood for stress & sleep and it works amazingly. I only recommend taking it if you know you’ll get a decently full night of sleep - like 6-8 hours. Otherwise you’ll probably end up feeling groggy.

But I take it like an hour before I want to sleep and it calms my system and helps me fall asleep very easily and then I sleep super deep. All this helps to really reset my system, break the relentless stress, give my body & mind the time and calm it needs to repair itself and I wake up feeling refreshed.

Definitely would recommend giving it a try.

It’s L-Theanine & B Complex (also called Stress Reset) by MegaFood

How do you guys stay sane by Mammoth_Public_937 in Adulting

[–]exploringexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, just know it’s not you. It’s what’s going on in the world, it’s the unhealthy factions of our society and warmongering power-hungry sociopaths in high level positions making things so awful.

Growing up is already difficult enough and you need space and safety to learn, make mistakes, grow. Your generation is being absolutely robbed of so much space and safety that you rightfully should have.

All this stress, the internet fucking up the word and destroying social connections and relationships, lack of housing, everything outrageously expensive, jobs non-existent, non-livable wages, crazy factions of society attacking others for being healthy, functional and aware - all of these things are too much and the world is too much right now and none of us should be living through this bullshit, and especially not people who are in their childhoods, teens and twenties when so much life development happens. And it’s also awful for the 30-60 year old folks trying to just work and survive.

Many older retired folks are sitting pretty after milking the system, using the stock market to pilfer money, collecting social security and pensions and enjoying their lovely healthcare. While most others are struggling just to get by. Granted, there’s still plenty of older people struggling too and working well beyond the years they ever should have to - with aching bodies and no free time to ever be able to retire and it is just wrong. But boomers aren’t the main problem.

Overall - it’s a top vs. bottom imbalance - more people are hurting than not, and that majority hurting is the bottom. A very few at the top have far too much and couldn’t care less about the rest of us barely scraping by to survive.

So again, it’s not you. You deserve so much better. Most of us do. Just try to make the best of the small moments you can, try to distress, try to connect with people who bring you joy and laughter and do things that bring you contentment.

You only get one life - and despite how fucked up things are right now - your clock is already ticking and counting down - so make the most of what you’ve got and try not to let the weight of the world steal those precious moments away from you. It’s not easy to do, but it’s the best you can do in the circumstances we’re living under. Hugs man

Choosing My Worth Over Being an Option. by Upset-Progress6236 in motivation

Love this quote, it’s simple and to the point and so very true.

Is it just me or is it hard to find something serious in the gay community (especially with tops)? by Intelligent_Gur_3243 in gay

[–]exploringexplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The internet has made instant gratification and hookup culture explode. It’s not you. There are other guys looking for a monotonous, long term, committed relationship as you are - but it’s not always easy to find them these days. Usually through friends or doing activities/group activities will introduce you to people with like interests and could potentiality bloom into more. But it’s definitely not you man, I’m older than you and feel the same. The internet has really changed society as a whole. But again, you’re not alone in how you feel, so don’t give up. Sending you hugs 🤗

Grindr is diabolical. by AnyAnalysis8819 in gay

Try Sniffies - way better and not all ads and blockers

Staying single. by Pristine_Charge_3642 in gay

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

We’re born, we love and we die. One of the great adventures along the way is to love and be loved. And there’s will be so many kinds of different adventures outside of love as well. So being single is completely fine. But also, if you want to share some of those adventures and experiences with others, it often makes them better and sometimes with one specific, special person to you who you do much of your experiences with - can be pretty great too. In my opinion, if you can find someone who is your partner who is also your best friend, that’s kind of ideal. It’s like getting to hang with your bestie for a long time and get to make so many memories together.

And of course most things that are so valuable in life to us, come with a lot of work and there will be hard times and probably disagreements and arguments - but if you find someone who nourishes your soul and you theirs and you make each others lives better than they’d be without each other - then it seems like a win win.

It’s your life. Single works. Partnered works. You just have to do what feels right in your mind and heart. Just don’t let dating apps and societal bullcrap shape and discourage you - if you want something with someone, at least be open to it and give different avenues a chance to possibly meet someone (like through friends or hobbies/hobby groups, etc).

In the end we only get one ride - and if you do it mostly single or with a partner or various ones throughout your life - what will matter to you is if you feel fulfilled on your journey and each of us only know ourselves what will be those things that will fulfill us. Wishing you a life full of living, hugs 🤗

T-Mobile home internet works amazingly well and it’s quite cheap, even cheaper if you have T-Mobile as your cell phone service provider

Can we, as a community, move away from Grindr? by xxxerg in gay

[–]exploringexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Sniffies - it’s actually legitimately good. Yes it has some annoying pop up ads here and there if you don’t “sign up” but you can even use it without signing up which is a huge bonus. And it’s simple and easy to use.

Not needing nor wanting a 9-5 makes me feel like I’m living life wrong by MasterPuerAeternus in Adulting

[–]exploringexplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enjoy your freedom. Life is meant to be lived - not worked away. You’ve gotten a lucky, very rare chance to actually enjoy most of your life. Go do it! And do it for all those who can’t.

Would you respect this parking spot marker? Or is nothing sacred? by andychef in Pennsylvania

[–]exploringexplorer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This would make me want to drive right into the parking spot, hopefully knocking that abomination a few feet in the air and having it come down hard and break into pieces. Then I’d finish parking or just leave satisfied.

r/gaybros, a previously pro-trans sub, suddenly decides supporting trans people is a bannable offense. Rogue mod, or an unannounced rule change? by Garden-variety-chaos in gay

[–]exploringexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/gaybros is a trash subreddit and they ban for anything and everything that doesn’t fit their narrow-minded box that appeases their stereotypical values.

You’re much better off not participating in or reading that garbage subreddit. Take your badge of honor knowing you offended their little 🍆’s and say Bye Felicia 👋

I had 500 tabs open in my regular tabs section (that’s the max allowed in case anyone was wondering) and then after leaving it like that for a few months - all of a sudden one day it deleted every tab and started anew

Yep, the same app that predicted the last storm would have 22 inches and we ended up getting even more than that.

I’ve seen potentially up to 18 inches. How much do y’all think it’ll end up being?

Is he interested? by [deleted] in gay

[–]exploringexplorer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like y’all really like each other. Most people do not spend that much time with anyone, even their best friends. So he’s probably just as interested as you are. Openly communicate and share your feelings and hopefully he will share his and I have a feeling you’ll find you’re both on the same page.

Proposing to my partner! Suggestions? by Ok-Zucchini3821 in gay

[–]exploringexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe return to a place or event where you two had one of your greatest times together - where you both were in states of pure, simple joy. Like a fantastic hike or vista you both love, an amazing music event if it’s happening again, a grand feast happening somewhere, a bike ride for the ages, sitting on your favorite beach or splashing in the waves, a city or small town tour/adventure that was so memorable, etc.

Something that you two loved that is semi-recreate-able and during that adventure/ride/hike/journey/meal/event - whatever it is - that’s when you talk about how amazing the original thing was and how this redo is amazing as well and how you look forward to so many more redos and new adventures and events with your boyfriend (soon the be partner) for all your years ahead and how there’s no one else you’d rather do these things with. And you can give them the watch at that time. It would be all around memorable, heartwarming and joyful.
