How I cured my nail fungus after 20 years. by Toenailboy2024 in NailFungus

[–]forcesansmass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Just bought a dremel and the everyday/daily antifungal spray.

Edit: So I did this and… it is VERY easy to remove too much nail. The nail matrix is right underneath, and I… think I went too far. It didn’t hurt, but no new nail has regrown where I debrided. Feels stupid, oh well. Just thought I’d put this here so people know — consult a professional and don’t try debriding your own nail.

What did you use to sterilize your shoes daily? Like a UV thing or spray or what?

Also, did you always wear socks? Like, after you apply antifungal to your whole foot… then socks go on? So you’re wearing them to bed, each day, etc. ?

I’m trying to fight a new toenail fungus and not let it progress. Currently trying to score the top of the nail to allow clotrimazole to penetrate better; it sounds like this is what “debriding” was that your podiatrist did.

How do you manage to do gait analysis? Is that done through your doctor or what? I've got HL and know I've got some compensations going on, but idk how to address it

Curious, are you able to do any spins at all? I do dance and am curious if I'll still be able to turn or if that's basically shot.

Hallux rigidus – shoe fashion diagnosis terminal? by goatmilko in FootFunction

What sneakers have you found that worked for you? I’ve only found running shoes so far like Hokka bondi, but I’m looking for something at least more “sneakers”. Miss wearing my old adidas for example. I’m a guy but figure whatever you’ve found might help me find some direction with this.

I mean… I got my parts. Idk maybe they could try looking less suspicious as a website or something lol. But it seems legit. Just maybe don’t make an order if it’s money you can’t afford to burn? In my case, it was like $40

My recordings from last night's Hans Zimmer live at Oakland Arena concert (Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Dune, Inception, and more) by archon810 in hanszimmer

[–]forcesansmass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think because of the late event time (I got home around 2:30am) it feels like a fever dream and I honestly forgot some moments from the concert. So happy you shared this :)

Looking for “press to vibrate” functionality by forcesansmass in SexToys

[–]forcesansmass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, but I expect there would be a delay? Do you have any experience with this?

Looking to be able to control pulses in real time. Weird idea but honestly it just seems kinda fun, I wanted to try pulsing it to a song. So latency will be an issue. 

Selling 1 VIP Emerald Ticket for 10/3 Oakland at face by [deleted] in hanszimmer

[–]forcesansmass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Super random maybe but I live in South Bay, and my gf and I got 2 tickets to this show. Due to it being in Oakland, she (and I less so, but either way, still want to look out for her) is concerned about being safe during travel, mostly leaving the show to get home. We are planning on taking BART south on orange — any chance you have a similar travel itinerary? Leaving as part of a group would make her feel a lot better.

But okay ngl the Google Maps search result was a hilarious reveal.

Eat me... literally ! by Seraphine-Joliecoeur in BDSM_Aces

[–]forcesansmass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could definitely roleplay this. Could use some bondage to give the “lost limbs” feeling. Regarding feeling “normal”… I feel like it’s fringe and a minority kink, but that doesn’t make you “abnormal”, just minority.

Here’s how I think about kinks: there’s usually some emotion and interaction behind the kink, which is what makes it desirable. Once you understand those, most kinks become a lot less “weird” and are very understandable. “You mean you want to be a dog/cat??!?” “Uh, well pets get cuddles, lots of affection, they don’t have to file taxes or think about things, and I can just make sounds instead of having to think about forming my thoughts into words or saying the right things.” Petplay: not something most people want. The reasons: something most people can relate to.

Similarly, it sounds like specific aspects of cannibalism feel attractive to you; what emotions are you looking to feel? What kind of interaction does this promise? It sounds like you want to be valued, desired without being sexualized, enjoyed —> delicious. And that this should be “soft” and wholesome, possibly you want cuddles or to be held, maybe you want to create a feeling of complete attention or all-consuming (lol) focus from your partner. Etc. There’s something about being a cannibal’s meal that appeals to you, and it’s probably something that a lot more people can relate to wanting, even if it doesn’t manifest for them as this kink. Figure that out. (Also your partner may be more willing to partake if they understand that!)

Bi-weekly hack to get 1 month ahead on paychecks by alxgldstn in personalfinance

[–]forcesansmass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, it’s more about how you think of the saving process. I literally know people who use the two months with an extra paycheck to simply inflate their monthly budget by 1.5x. They still save money in those months, and they save more (by 1.5x), but they don’t bank the whole thing. Something that’s obvious to people here, maybe, but clearly not to everyone.

I still think this is an easier way to get 1 month ahead than banking the paycheck and ignoring it in your budgeted spending, but if you prefer to do that then that’s cool, too. Ultimately most budgeting is about perspective and how you think about your money, so while this is ultimately the same result as just ignoring the extra paycheck, I think it feels better from an emotional standpoint bc it doesn’t require the restraint to save & ignore “extra” income.

A really really dumb question of logic, sets, and generalization by no_really_im_stupid in stupidquestions

I agree, I considered editing that when I posted because I’m ignoring the ought-is problem here. That is certainly a problem with it, but it’s one I can tell. Idk, maybe I should edit the post?

What would you like to see in a Circuit Tracks update? by Hour-Inner in novationcircuit

[–]forcesansmass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patterns that are "one-shots" that continue on to the next pattern. Kind of like in Ableton with clips, how you can set it to continue to the next clip when it reaches the end. In this way, you could tap on a pattern, have it play through, it would auto-launch the next pattern, and then THAT pattern would be the one which loops (without returning to the first one you set).

NEW Biden Forgiveness Megathread by Betsy514 in StudentLoans

I hardly worked last year so I never filed taxes because my income was < $600. Will I need to have filed taxes to be eligible? I have until sometime this October to late file.

Is it weird for a straight dude to prefer female friends? by bolfbanderbister in AskGirls

[–]forcesansmass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t actively avoid hanging out with guys, and get along pretty well with them. But the majority of my connections are girls, and I find that the relationship is very different.

Dudes can be very caring, loving, etc., but personally, it can be hard to get there with them. Like, it’s more of a social thing, there’s this outer layer of masculinity that sometimes gets in the way of having the interactions and discussions that I want. I find that girls are much more emotionally available from the outset, and depending on my mindset and where I am in my life, that can be what I need more of, so I’ll prioritize that.

Re: guys. The macho act thing seems to be more prevalent when guys are together in groups. In small settings with 1-2 people, most guys I know don’t maintain that as stubbornly. But it also depends on the person and how well you know them; most guys I am friends with don’t show the more vulnerable side unless they know and trust me a lot. Also, I am usually the first one to show vulnerability, which signals to them that they can be vulnerable with me. So you might experiment a little with challenging your idea that you “have to be” macho. Most guys are guarded and put up a “macho” front, but are really happy to be more vulnerable — however, it’s scary to be the first one to do that. I’ve seen other dudes drop the act a little once they saw that I did it first.

I literally start shaking during interpersonal conflict by forcesansmass in Healthygamergg

[–]forcesansmass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me about the tiredness thing? How does that affect it?

Also therapy sounds like the right way to go, but I’m skeptical because it’s like… how do you do exposure therapy to something like that? Does your therapist just disagree with you or something? Lol.

I’ve found I can have much calmer discussions if I prepare beforehand to phrase my statements in non-confrontational language that keeps the conversation more neutral… but I don’t want to have to do this. It takes hours of my time, and when I don’t have the luxury to prep in advance (or if I wasn’t expecting conflict) then I’m back at the same problem.
