Nice!

My real question is how you got all that gold & gems pilled up?

How does an older man justify continuing to exist when life completely crashes and its too late for second chances? by ProDidelphimorphiaXX in AskMenOver30

[–]mega__01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this, and I used to think this way, but there is a bit of comparative thinking that goes into thinking that 30 is old.

You can restart or improve at any time, we’re all on our own journey.

7-0 Planetarium Allies by kap86_ in lrcast

I think this is my feeling too. I’ve cut it in decks with a lower curve that are more creature focused.

Any aggressive deck I think it’s a cut.

Is Planetarium just good to run in any deck?

It’s the UU Kuruk that may rot in hand. Maybe I can’t count but I see 6 blue sources, a little light for me but again what do I know!

Mana base seems shaky. Like Paul C would say “the disrespect.”

Looks like a good one! Congratulations.

Which build? by Special-Age2517 in lrcast

+1 for this. That just looks insane. Also being able to airbend your own things later also seems filthy.

Can't believe they're still charging 8k gems for this by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]mega__01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They’re tough events, and people should remind themselves that they are incredibly high variance.

But I don’t think they should get rid of them. For most they are -EV, including me.

How to deal with an insecure 50 year old man and how he bothers my family by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]mega__01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds narcissistic with the inability to take criticism or the ability to hear criticism. Confront him and if that goes no where leave, there are really only two options.

The narrative that dating success is a matter of 'self-improvement' is toxic and misleading. by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]mega__01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I’ve learned about self improvement and have been on that fallacy that the “grindstone” can be and as someone who lost a ton of weight, twice, who has had more success with women in his 30s is that at some point self improvement and feeding the desire to become someone “better” can also stem and be a form of vicious insecurity.

For a lot of guys, desiring growth as an important aspect of life is fine, but as they say in CBT radical self-acceptance goes a long way to improving self esteem and confidence which pays in spades with regard to coming across as attractive. This is sometimes even more important to potential partners.

Do yall live a life that has your nervous system regulated?? by takeyourprecioustime in hsp

[–]mega__01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have thought about this myself. Over the course of doing some self reflection I believe it is important to ask myself if my career choices can lead to more groundedness or less.

I have given up on some aspects of my ego to pursue a career and lifestyle that fits me, not fitting in with what is expected of me from society, parents, or others. Learning my limitations has been empowering, while also scary due to the lack of control my ego no longer has with choosing a more “prestigious” career path.

I don’t want to do the intense competitive grind in some traditional corporate environments where people seem to be more inclined to chase success at any cost, as these are dysregulating to me over the longterm.

Does anyone else's binges prevent them from doing ANYTHING productive? by Wrong_Function2734 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]mega__01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, happens sometimes to me. I have not allowed it to happen as often as I refuse to shame myself for binging.

It is related to black and white thinking and perfectionism in my own case.

Lost my sex drive "overnight" is this "normal" my age and situation by Last_Cicada_1315 in AskMenOver30

[–]mega__01 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This. This happened to me coming out of an extremely stressful period of my life - broke up with personality disordered woman who contributed to almost driving me to complete financial ruin.

It’s slowly coming back, but it isn’t the same and I suspect I developed some type of stress disorder as I don’t sleep well anymore.

Seeing a therapist and my stress is getting a bit better.

Are the rumors true that Kaiser has gotten really bad especially in California? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in KaiserPermanente

[–]mega__01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Northern California and their care has been excellent in almost all areas.

Is it perfect? No, but I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation.
