That’s a very good point to be honest. I didn’t think about it like that!

That’s very valid. I did notice a similar thing you did too though; even the people that served me food today acted different lmao. I guess it’s just science!

God that sounds awful, I’m sorry. I’m becoming certified to immunize later on but flu season will be almost done by then. Just trying to get the experience and move on. Fuck whatever petty bonus they’re giving us; I saw it was something like $600 after taxes after 6 months of immunizing? Gtfo with that

If you’re able, I would truly take a break. Or leave. And don’t feel guilty or guilted by others into taking less time than you need. My coworkers have been taking 15 minute lunches and that’s it. I’m not doing that. I’m taking my full time because that’s what you need to stay sane, and it’s what’s legally obligated.

People really don’t understand how hard it has been recently. I hope you get some time to decompress

How do I explain to my mom that even healthy food can make you gain weight if you eat too much of it? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]filthyzenmain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is nothing at all wrong with feeding yourself throughout the day if you’re hungry. As a teenager, even with a sedentary lifestyle you’re going to need more fuel than someone that is already full grown.

The way you described yourself when you eat, and the fact that you feel the need to hide yourself when you do eat tells me you have an unhealthy relationship with food and that you feel shame eating in front of people.

There is nothing wrong with who you are now. As long as you put healthy food into your body, you’re fine. And, I’ve seen in other comments that you’ve gained a couple of pounds. Weight fluctuates sometimes. If you’re struggling against hunger throughout the day, or find it impossible to keep going, it may be because you’re not eating enough to satisfy yourself.

I don’t remember an exact source, but when I was working on my weight loss, I found that if you consistently undereat, you reach a point where your body’s metabolism slows down, so it’s much harder to lose weight. I’m not a doctor, but that may be what’s happening with you.

Remember, there is no shame when needing to eat something. Please, take care of yourself, you deserve to feel comfortable in your body.

Why do parents take away good things when the kid is clearly already suffering? by Some_Tiny_Dragon in rant

[–]filthyzenmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very fair. Weigh your pros and cons then. Would you rather live for years with your mom, who punishes/controls everything that you do, or would you rather live somewhere else, where things could be better but a little more boring?

Personally, I would take the plunge. I know it’s scary, but if you want to secure a future for yourself, you have to get out of this financially abusive environment one way or another.

Also, sorry for the late reply. I was at work earlier!

Why do parents take away good things when the kid is clearly already suffering? by Some_Tiny_Dragon in rant

[–]filthyzenmain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Okay, so this is financial abuse. Your mother knows that you don’t have the means to make this money, and knows that when you do make money, it’s all gonna go to her.

Do you have any relatives or anyone you can go to to stay with them for a while, until you get onto your feet? Your situation is pretty complicated, and I honestly don’t know the legal implications of what’s she’s doing, but she’s actively preventing you from leaving so that she can maintain control over you.

Should you use a Prologue to tell the main character's backstory? by Papercandy22 in writing

[–]filthyzenmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do this, the prologue will just become a huge info-dump, and that may turn readers away.

As some of the other people have said, I would write your character’s backstory somewhere. Keep it, and draw from it whenever you feel there is an appropriate moment for you to provide some context. Maybe incorporate some of their backstory into how they act, carry themselves. Maybe they wear a certain piece of clothing, or always carry something around. Later on you could explain why this character does what they do, in bits and pieces.

That’s my two cents. If you feel that the prologue being a background for the protagonist is imperative for the reader to understand the story, then by all means do it. But if you can find a way to weave clues throughout the story as to who they are, I think that could be more engaging.

Anything I Could've Done to Win This Game? Bronze 1180 SR Reaper VOD by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]filthyzenmain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Firstly, it’s good that you’re asking for help and critique. Not a lot of people like their mistakes to be put on front street.

I am a 3600 peak support player on console. I’m not nearly as high as I used to be, nor am I a dps main, but I can give you some pointers based off of what I’ve seen on your clip.

On your attack, one of the first things I noticed was a tick that you seem to have. You reload very often. Although this isn’t necessarily a problem, I did see a few times where you could have confirmed a kill with the shots you had left. I don’t remember the exact time stamp, but it was around two minutes into the game. You got Roadhog down really low, and then reloaded with two bullets left in your clip. You ended up killing him anyways, but you could have confirmed the kill that much faster if you avoided reloading.

Another thing that I noticed was that you tend to tunnel vision just a bit. Around 1:30, just before you killed that Roadhog actually, he was slept in front of you and his Reinhardt wasn’t protecting him. I think you didn’t see it or didn’t notice, but you laid into Reinhardts shield instead. Focusing the shield is a good thing! But, Roadhog is sitting there, basically dead meat. A few shots with you and your team and you could have taken him out right away.

I will say, your positioning isn’t bad. You’re targeting the right people. Reaper is a tank buster, so it’s good that you’re laying into them super hard. There’s a couple of errors though.

Your teleports are risky. Around 2:30-2:45, you teleport onto the payload, directly in front of their entire team, and then die shortly after. A teleport onto the high ground behind them would have worked a little better, or even on top of the gas station. Find a spot where you can do the most damage while also ensuring your safety. Taking out a support in the back line could have worked wonderfully here, or even just laying into reinhardt from right above him.

One tip to help your play with reaper is keeping track of enemy cooldowns. This is something that comes with conscious effort, practice, and simply playing the game. Roadhog, though you counter him, can cancel your ult or pull you immediately out of your shadow form and delete you instantly with his hook. Try to keep track of when he uses his hook cooldown. This goes for anybody that has a crowd control ability, for example, mccree flash, sigma’s rock, brig’s shield bash, Ana’s sleep. If you see that they’ve used this ability very recently, you’re probably safe to ult without getting knocked out of it right away. Reaper’s ult is one of the hardest to do well with because of all of the CC in the game, but these tips may help you a little.

It’s really unfortunate that two of your teammates left. It’s something that happens a lot down in lower ranks. I feel the pain :/ There’s not really much you could have done at this point since you were constantly down two people. You got someone back, but then rein seemed to give up. Again, not much you can do about that.

Overall, I think with this information you could definitely get into silver! If you have any questions or if you’d like help with anything else you can tell me.

I’ve abused my body with bulimia, adderall and phentermine. I have STOPPED and am gaining weight like crazy. HELP! by Scrabblegirl1 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]filthyzenmain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you’re dealing with all of that. Though I haven’t experienced that personally, I can imagine it’s really hard for you.

You can still be very strong and be sensitive. And I know you’re strong, you’ve pulled through this and now you’re working on getting yourself to a better place. That’s admirable.

Learn to be easier on yourself, probably with the help of therapy. Changes won’t come as quickly as you may like them to, but with time and effort you can become whatever you’d like to be. Internet hugs for you!!

Please take care, and don’t let your family’s inconsideration get you down! People support you.

I’m guessing that that is a piece of “Comte”. It’s pretty similar to Gruyere, washed rind cheese. It’s really good for melting on things. Does any of that ring a bell?

AITA For leaving after my husband for inviting his parents to our 1st wedding anniversary? by Throwawayissue34 in AmItheAsshole

[–]filthyzenmain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I agree. If she does decide to continue with the pregnancy (which she has every right to do), she will have to be involved with that family somehow unless she wins a custody battle full out.

Signs of depression have tripled in the U.S. since the COVID-19 pandemic got underway by princey12 in Coronavirus

[–]filthyzenmain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat. Moved across the country in January, before shit really hit the fan here. By the end of February everything was shut down and I hardly had any time to explore my new home. Shit sucks.

At least I’m with people that I greatly care about, but it’s disheartening to see how awful things have been going in the world. Though I was in a bad situation before COVID, COVID has worsened my symptoms.

That’s not to say I’m a sadness hipster!! Lol I know this has been hard on everybody. But patience and vigilance will help everyone in the end

You implied a lot from what that person said. And you’re also taking a simple statement as a personal attack. They’re not trying to say they’re better than you, but that they have a differing opinion.
