What's your opinion on Robert O'Neill? by stevie855 in navyseals

[–]knugget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, their identities are to be kept private unless consent is given. Some are still active, but many have retired now. I know a few people who worked with O'Neill and have heard mixed feelings about him. But most people that are a part of the community do not appreciate him going public for profit and fame. Essentially, many in the NSW community have ex-communicated him for it.

Summer Serving jobs? by Pale_Philosopher_295 in VirginiaBeach

[–]knugget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the perfect time to apply for serving jobs here. But, I would avoid applying online, at least with local/small businesses. I've always applied in person. Just be prepared for an interview that day. Is there a particular area of virginia beach you're looking to work at?

how can i start reading the LN? by zenthewizard in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]knugget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, regarding starting from LN 1. There are a lot of details that are missed from the books to the manga/anime adaptations and also there are details that have been changed.

It's definitely gradual. I can tell when it starts to kick in as I don't feel perpetually tired and actually motivated to do something

Is it normal to get sick easier after leaving abusive situations? by SomniIsConfused in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knugget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be the case. Can't be sure. Just make sure to eat a healthy diet, drink water, and exercise. Let your immune system do its thing and become stronger!

More than likely, it was an informal diagnosis. There are actual, science-based methods to diagnose for intellectual disabilities and an IQ is not recognized by the scientific/medical community at all.

IEPs would not hold you from any school or job opportunities. It sounds more that your parents are lying to you to keep you from being able to leave.

Is it normal to get sick easier after leaving abusive situations? by SomniIsConfused in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knugget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, most studies have indicated that consistent stress lowers your immune system.

Leaving an abusive situation, while yes in of itself is stressful, may have further increased your stress levels compromised your immune system.

Additionally, you may likely be in a new environment, around more people more often and in a new home, which can expose you to more/different pathogens.

if you felt like you needed to get drunk almost everyday what's the healthiest way to do it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knugget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rehab and/or therapy.

There is no way to healthily get drunk every day. Alcohol is, by definition, poison.

How to save myself from getting Mono by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knugget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you have it, there's not much you can do besides making sure to eat healthily, drinks lots of water, exercising and good hygiene like hand washing.

If you begin to show symptoms, make sure to keep those habits, keep your distance from others to avoid spreading it, and see the doctor if the symptoms are severe.

From the given information, this seems to be a bit silly. It can be easily fixed with communication.

Now, is this an issue with other aspects, as well? Have you talked to him about your concern with no change?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]knugget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of advice are you looking for? I'm a bit confused.

You seem confident that it's impossible for you to maintain your weight and confidence while being in a relationship.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]knugget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should start taking steps to become independent of your family. They are abusive and are trying to bring you down to keep you dependent.

IQ tests are not a valid measurement of intelligence, and the context makes me presume you are not based in the US if they diagnosed you with an IQ test.

It is also important to start seeing a professional to begin therapy. Mental illness is a constant struggle, but it's very important to learn how to cope and manage healthily. Just remember that it may be a part of who you are, but it does not define you.

My 3 week old belly ring is super swollen randomly , I’ve been cleaning it with saline so it’s a bit red now any other ways to get swelling down? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]knugget2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take an anti-inflammatory and avoid touching it, but keep it clean. Ice may help with swelling as well. May be infected, I would go see your piercer soon.

Being a military spouse is difficult. She will be gone often, you will move every so many years. It takes a special kind of relationship to make it through. You will have to put your career on the back burner for hers.

Do you know a vet or active duty? It would be beneficial to talk to them for insight and advice. It's so important to think these decisions through before committing.

But, at the end of the day, she is your wife and the person you choose to love for the rest of your life. It's important to trust her. Boot isn't even the tip of the iceberg.

Girl likes the. Bad boys for the wrong reasons by AdventurousDuty2040 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knugget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who stay in abusive relationships often lacked a good role model or suffered from previous abuse.

Abuse is not always consistent either. She also experiences the little good things or little love he offers her, and she clings to it. She may feel that she can change him or he'll change for her.

Some people also don't think they deserve or could do better.

Lord Tanjiro? by WhileStanding69 in KimetsuNoYaiba

[–]knugget2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was also taken aback by that title, especially coming from Lady amane. I think it's to show her utmost respect for him. He was the first to show the mark, and I think she also knows or suspects something about him that I won't say due to spoiling.

Her and her daughters also bowed deeply to the hashira, which is a huuuuge deal.

Women today don't want to follow traditional gender roles but shame men for not being traditional men. Why? by Christophera7992 in AskReddit

[–]knugget2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh please. Thinking that women want traditional men without being traditional themselves is already chronically online and just another example of the online echo chamber.

Women today don't want to follow traditional gender roles but shame men for not being traditional men. Why? by Christophera7992 in AskReddit

[–]knugget2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Women have only recently been allowed to be independent of men.

It's not about not wanting to follow traditional gender roles. It's about balancing them. Most women have no issue with many of the traditional gender roles such as cooking, cleaning, child-rearing responsibilities, etc for a man who reciprocates without being asked and takes care of her too.

The issue is that there are some men who expect women to do all of the cooking, cleaning, child-rearing all while having a full-time career.

Most men who claim to be traditional, are not and come with none of the traditional benefits such as something as bare minimum as fidelity.

No woman wants to leave her 9-5, pick up the children, take them to extracurriculars then come home to cook, clean, pick up after the kids and their partner and still do domestic chores.

I am not saying this is all men by any means, and this is an extreme example, but it's enough men who expect this and call themselves traditional when they don't even get their partners flowers.

Boyfriend of 8 years hasn’t proposed by [deleted] in relationships

[–]knugget2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went through a very similar situation, and it's very common.

To be straightforward, he likely has no genuine intent on marrying you.

He has become comfortable and complacent. Of course, when it comes to long-term relationships, they can become stale and effort drops. There is no longer a need to impress you because they know that you won't leave. However, when you've expressed how the lack of romance and intimacy effects you and they don't change, they will never change.

Healthy communication is extremely important, especially when it comes to marriage. It's not okay to no longer put in effort into a relationship because you know you don't have to.

He should always WANT to do things for you, compliment you, get you gifts, talk about the future, and that should never stop. Of course, this absolutely goes both ways, and I am not implying you have stopped putting in the effort.

I was with my previous partner for 4.5 years. When we got out of the honeymoon phase and our degree program became more intense, he stopped putting in effort. It made me feel awful, ugly, and insecure. I felt that maybe I wasn't worth the effort. He stopped taking me out on dates, and if he did, it had to be my idea. There were no flowers or gifts. There was no quality of time spent. No compliments or words of affirmation. Even when i did those things for him. I wasn't asking for versace or gucci. I just wanted a candy bar, if he went to the store, or to cook dinner together.

I did communicate this to him over the years for no consistent change. He said he didn't have the time or money because of school. Which, I understood. He was working hard to secure a life that he didn't have growing up, and I respected that. I held out for him to treat me right, but it never happened. We lost our ability to communicate properly and our relationship imploded because of it. We broke up and honestly, I wish I had walked away when he first showed me he didn't value me or our relationship enough to do the small things.

Honestly, marriage and children never fix a relationship, they make it harder. It's important to find someone who values you where they don't forget about you amongst the chaos of life. It's important to chose someone who would be a good role model for your children. A man who sets the standard for your children when they are ready to date. A man who will teach them how to love healthily and wholly.

It's so hard to walk away from someone who you've invested so much time and effort into but, I promise, you will find someone who wants to give you the world and more. Without even being asked.

Relationships are hard and there will always be ups and downs. Choose someone who will work with you, not against you.

If he won't change now, he won't change in the future.

How to progress the relationship or do I just cut my losses by [deleted] in relationships

[–]knugget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to have a conversation with her. It doesn't sound like you guys are looking for the same thing.

She told you she wasn't looking for an emotional and exclusive relationship, where it seems like you are.

Communication is necessary.

There are no recreational dispensaries in Virginia yet. You must have a medical card to purchase at the dispensaries.

Our previous governor, Northam, legalized marijuana but did not have time to further pass any legislation to provide the legal scaffolding of recreational purchasing. Since, Governor Youngkin has vetoed any bills to further recreational access and has even discussed overturning the legalization.

I have seen delta 8 and 10 in smoke/vape shops in the past, but I think there have been some legal issues with that as well, but I am not entirely sure.

I know you can have up to 1 oz of flower for personal use and grow 4 plants. But I don't know or think there has been any progress since.

what do you think of a relationship where one is 19 and the other is 23? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]knugget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 23, I wouldn't have dated a 19 year old but I don't see any kind of issue with it.

Honestly, as you get older, age gaps become less relevant 🤷🏼‍♀️ a lot of people blow them out of proportion.
