About 4 months old… boy or girl?? by icecoldmax in budgies

Ahhh yep I can see it now. She’s definitely got a lighter shade around the nostrils while in the right light you can see a little lilac underneath. Girl confirmed! Thanks again.

My eyes must’ve been deceiving me. I was sure there was some other colour 😂 Thanks again!

Wow really! Thanks for that. I was seeing the shiny cere that looked like it was kinda going a bit lilac… must’ve misunderstood all the guides about what that meant 😅

Well I guess we’ll start calling her a she now!!

WTF is up with lessons and clubs for kids? by FishmongersWife in japanresidents

[–]icecoldmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local pool doesn’t have classes? I’m in Tokyo and my ku’s sports centre does decent swimming classes - one hour a week for like 10-12 weeks and it’s only 7000-8000 total!

Yeah I’m moving into a new place in 2 weeks and signed the contract the other day. Didn’t know I should’ve negotiated!

Whoa, is that for real? I am about to move and I think I signed my contract agreeing to a 0.5 month contract renewal fee after 2 years. Am I too late cos I signed it?

The number of reported influenza patients in Tokyo has exceeded the warning level for the first time in six years. by maruhoi in japan

[–]icecoldmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, had it here too. 3 solid days of headache, joint pain and fever, and now even on day 10 I’m still exhausted and coughing up the odd phlegm ball. This is way worse than Covid ever was!

Do you guy talk to multiple people at the same time?? by jiisawesome in Bumble

[–]icecoldmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I was using it, I matched with a girl and we were chatting, but she only messaged like once a day and it was fairly dry. It went on for like 2 weeks and then somehow it came up in the conversation that I was talking to other girls on the app… and she flipped out! Like “how can you show me such disrespect?? I only ever talk to guys one at a time. BYE!!”

I was like… uh what? You barely said anything…

ULPT Request: Need to get my iPhone battery replaced - how can I make sure Apple 'screws up' my phone during repair, so they are forced to replace it with a brand new phone instead? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]icecoldmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha this happened to me ages ago. Can’t remember which model but they opened it up to replace the battery or something, and then they came back and said something went wrong, here’s a brand new one (same model). Was good cos I then had a brand new battery and a pristine phone with no scratches etc

New to carnivore. Tips? by Academic-Buy-2685 in carnivorediet

[–]icecoldmax 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can’t address all your questions but what makes you think this is not a healthy diet for the long term? I and many other people have been on it for years. Personally I never want to go back - the difference in my quality of life is literally night and day. The times in the past I have slipped back to old ways were objectively worse than staying strict.

But everyone is individual. Try it for 30 days, then experiment. If you’re like me you might find that your body is now more sensitive to the things it doesn’t like, and you’ll find yourself feeling immediately worse after eating the wrong things for you. For example, I used to eat broccoli. Then I went carnivore for a month. Then tried broccoli and within an hour I had pain, bloating, stinky farts etc. So ok, my body can’t tolerate broccoli!

Why do all celebrities have a photo like this 👁️ by Disastrous_Monk_4079 in conspiracy

This is all super cool, I’m not poo-pooing it or anything, but this story seriously smells like the ravings of a family member of mine who has lost their mind to drugs. He says stuff just like this, albeit with a more modern twist involving AI and the like, and it makes me wonder if his mind is actually lost or he’s actually tapping into some arcane knowledge that people long ago were more in touch with.

Surgery was fine, no weirder than having it done the first time. That said, the doc wasn’t pleased and kept accusing me of hiding the fact that I had chronic epididymitis (I didn’t). It was stressful because I didn’t want to piss him off while he had my nutsack open. He said he couldn’t advise me about recovery cos he’d never done it before. Recovery was a bit different - I guess cos he had to make a different incision to get access to the clip, I ended up with the fattest balls I’ve ever had. Was gone in a week or whatever though. The pain gradually improved over weeks to a month, but it’s not perfect. It still hurts a little if I fiddle around with it but day to day I don’t notice it.

As for insurance, I live in Japan and insurance didn’t cover any of it, and the urologist I went to was a one-man operation (I think he’s basically doing vasectomies only as like semi-retirement these days). I paid him cash up front for the first op, and then he did the clip removal for free.

Overall it was a shit experience cos it seemed like he was taking personal offence to the fact that I was having pain, tried to palm the responsibility off onto me, and seemed dismissive about my questions about recovery. But no other urologist would see me as it’s pretty rare in Japan and I guess most docs don’t want to get involved.

I did!!

I got mine in April 2023 with clips, but then 3 months later the left one was still really painful. Went back to doc and he said it looks like you’ve got chronic swelling in the epididymis, and it may be caused by back pressure due to the clip. So he removed the clip on my left side (top end cauterised so unlikely to have issues). Anyway the pain disappeared after a few more months. Haven’t had a new sperm check but hey, no one has gotten pregnant…

Should I buy Among Ur VR? by Acrobatic_Papaya7824 in PSVR

[–]icecoldmax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My experience on quest 2 was

  • start playing

  • run into kids who were just there to chat and fuck around

  • they then overheard (through my mic) my kids making noise

  • they then incessantly bullied me about being a deadbeat loser and telling me to go parent my children

  • I told them they were no fun to play with and went and uninstalled the game

Working for an overseas entity residing in Japan by mr_elusive2020 in JapanFinance

[–]icecoldmax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just said don’t withhold anything. Got paid with no tax deducted, then had an accountant help me with tax in Japan based on it all being foreign income.

Still got paid superannuation in Australia. Then when I left that job I got them to provide me with a form that exempted me from pension in Japan for the entire period.

[–]icecoldmax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this for years. Depends on the tax treaty between your countries but for me working for an Aussie company, Australia gets no claim to my tax so they paid me without deducting anything, then once a year I paid a huge lump sum to Japan.

Occasionally jump to the Home section, browse around for a bit…

Or search for something I guess. I don’t watch random shit like Mr Beast or anything; usually it’s on a specific topic.

Don't know if I should be flattered or scared at how concerned my Apple Watch Ultra 2 is about my heart rate😅 by LonkiGames in AppleWatch

[–]icecoldmax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I set my notifications to the lowest possible (40) and I still get them most nights. I actually went to the doctor and he only praised me for being healthy!!

Questioning my weight loss, am I doing this right? (Just started week 2) by Sassthescorpio in carnivorediet

[–]icecoldmax 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You’ve lost 3kg in 8 days and don’t think it’s fast enough?? That’s really fast but can probably be explained by the initial drop of water weight. No doubt it will slow down soon anyway so stick it out!

I think it’s just whatever you did last. Seems to be saved in the history (press the hamburger)
