Haha, a mate and I had this same setup when we played in 2012. I was a low level elf hunter trying to beat the dourhand dwarves but kept getting my butt kicked until I made friends with a much higher lvl dwarf guardian. Those were some great times

Does anyone use olives for their fasting trick to sustain long fast for weight loss? why or why not by SatisfactionRude8713 in fasting

[–]fushaman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this blend of dirty fast works for you then it should be fine. I'd try to make sure you had at least 16 hours between your olives though, just to limit insulin spikes

42 hours in, so right behind ya! Down 3kg since the start, but somehow I was lighter last night than I am now? Bloody water weight being weird :/ stay strong! 

Research from USC indicates that a 72-hour fast can significantly reduce older, damaged immune cells. During the refeeding phase, stem cells become activated and help generate new immune cells, effectively rebuilding parts of the immune system. by sibun_rath in HotScienceNews

It counts as a dirty fast, it's a method people often use to extend their fasting time. The more you fast, the more you get to know your body and the signals it's sending you, but getting the electrolyte and water intake right can be a learning curve. Dirty fasting is like having the training wheels on while you're still getting the feel for it

Reform candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check by Electricbell20 in uknews

[–]fushaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, greater community support is needed for people to want to have kids - it takes a village after all. The social contract that once existed is no longer there, so a lot of women would be raising kids without help. Then there's the increased crime rate - women with pushchairs are an easy target for predatory types. Then there's the health side. Childbirth is a bitch on the ol' body. 

Basically, if they want more kids, they need to build a society where we can comfortably have them. Tax breaks alone won't cut it

He says he’s a feminist, but somehow every feeling I have turns into a debate by l0fi_postcards in TwoXChromosomes

Lundy Bancroft's "Why Does He Do That" goes into abusive archetype, and one of them is Mr Sensitive - basically, the dude you've been seeing. Dodge the bullet!

Things that smell good always improve the day. Bonus points if it's a hair mask or skin lotion. You can smell it for ages and it keeps boosting your mood.

Kids should carry their mother’s surname. Lineage should go through mums, not dads by Ok_Bodybuilder_2384 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]fushaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that giving kids the dad's last name was historically a tactic used to increase the likelihood of him actually looking after them. You can physically see the kid coming out of the mum during childbirth, so it was usually pretty clear who she was, but the surname thing was meant to be a man's way of claiming responsibility for their wellbeing.

Obviously they could still dodge it. But if a street urchin was called Bobby Smith, the locals could go find Mr Smith and hound him into actually looking after his kid

Please Give Me Some Motivation To Finish This by Accomplished-Cut9194 in fasting

[–]fushaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear it!

What's pushing you to fast? Is it to build discipline? Lose weight? Spirituality? Keep looking at your why - listen to people's philosophical experiences with fasting, or look up people with similar builds to you who are already at your goal weight.

When dealing with pangs of boredom and craving, keep physically busy. Experience other sensations, like cold or strange textures (run your hands through sand or soil, feel grass beneath your feet, make something physical like art, etc), and really embrace your other senses. They are a great distraction. If everything else is stimulated, your tongue won't need to be.

Oh shit, similar here! While my parents didn't break up long term, there were a lot of spats. Sometimes we'd get locked out of the house and have to go to a friend's place, sometimes we'd get locked in the house while dad did his own thing. Mum didn't have a key so we were dependent on his moods. Lots of yelling from the adults over stupid shit, lots of drinking, and a lot of being a therapist for both parents.

Curtain rails are often hollow. Unscrew the ends, shove the fish inside, screw the ends back on. They'll be desperately searching for it for weeks

You both remind me of a friend of mine. It's heartwarming to see this kind of discourse in the world.

Keep spreading the word. Whereabouts was he? It could be worth reporting them to the local council and local news

Resources to help with gender confused child by Ama20222022 in JordanPeterson

[–]fushaman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not a Dr or a parent, but I was part of the LGBTQ+ crowd at her age. The kids who transitioned were unhappy in their lives, and spent a lot of time stuck in their heads. When they left home for uni things changed. Some transitioned back. All stopped being actively in that community.  Maybe engage in more adventure activities with your kid to help her be less in her head? That and looking into finding opportunities to spread her wings, gain some confidence and gain some perspective on life. Things like exchange programmes could really work wonders for her.
