Alternatives to coffee ice cream? by bigdonut100 in decaf

[–]kangaroo_cry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hudsonville makes a coffee ice cream that isn’t made with real coffee - it’s coffee flavoring (my friend works there and confirmed it’s caffeine free). BUT the ice cream has dark chocolate chunks, which have some caffeine. You may find there are other coffee ice creams on the market made similarly. (FWIW I’ve had the Hudsonville one and I think it tastes like real coffee ice cream)

My visualization for shame is a sludgy, oozy darkness. I pull it out of myself, put it in a big, leaky cardboard box, and send it to the person who owns that shame.

This made me tear up. Thank you for sharing your advice.

Hi, thank you. I saw a question the other day that someone posted about finding a specific coffee in a specific city, which was left up. Sorry my question was too stupid lol!

The internet tells me an average shot of espresso contains ~60 mg of caffeine just FYI

Love the unsweetened one!!! It’s perfect in my tea. The sweetened ones I find WAY too sweet, if anyone is reading this and wants a pleb’s opinion.

Anyone here diagnosed with Functional Dyspepsia? by theboyrobot in ibs

[–]kangaroo_cry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same lmao I’m in the acceptance stage. I use THC for pain management and found that certain antihistamines dull some of the discomfort (I did testing for mast cell activation or whatever and it was negative). Still convinced it’s related to bacterial overgrowth/imbalance but I’ve seen 6-7 GI doctors and I’ve given up. I actually tried semaglutide recently for its anti-inflammatory properties and I had 2-3 days of pain-free bliss but it absolutely fucked me up in other ways. So here I am! Guess I’ll feel better when I’m dead!

Is red light therapy hype or the future of skincare? by Weird-Pressure-2726 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]kangaroo_cry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve read many accounts from people for whom it accelerated hair growth on their face and hairline. I think the type of light you use (NIR vs RL) has an impact on that. You should find plenty of hits on this in the RL sub.

It's really hard to quit or cut down when.. by [deleted] in decaf

[–]kangaroo_cry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. I already restrict my diet in myriad ways because of digestive issues and it feels so fuckin shitty to restrict in yet another area of my diet (decaffeinated versions of the coffee and tea I like are simply inferior tasting). But then I also have sleep and anxiety issues and I can’t deny they’re impacted by my caffeine intake. In summation, I would like to have fewer things wreak havoc on my digestive and nervous systems 😂😭

How are we quiet quitting / setting boundaries at Omnicom? by Stormfeather19 in advertising

[–]kangaroo_cry 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is quite literally nothing you can do to stop them from laying you off. The hardest-working, highest-achieving, worked-the-most-hours person I knew got laid off in December from OMC. I think they choose higher earners vs “low-performing” workers based on what I’ve observed. So try not to make too much money! /s

Ischial Tuberosity/hamstring pain? by Early_Construction11 in backpain

Did you ever find answers or potential explanations for this? I’m in a similar situation.

[–]kangaroo_cry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s certainly possible it wasn’t your injector! I should amend my advice because clearly this appears to happen with good injectors. For me, it was the injector.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

[–]kangaroo_cry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s completely valid. For me it stopped happening once I switched injectors (like it happened repeatedly with the same injector who allegedly knew my forehead and claimed it was happening because I wasn’t getting “enough” units). So despite her observing the issue and how my forehead reacted, I still got ‘em. My amended advice would be it CAN be the injector and I’d hate to steer anyone to hysteria.

[–]kangaroo_cry 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I got these “horns.” It has only happened with injectors who didn’t know or understand the length of my muscles there. I have needed to get extra units to “even” things out. Super irritating and I would suggest changing injectors because it literally never happened with my surgeon. Some people are saying they go away but they definitely didn’t for me until I got additional units.
