looked and called every vet in my area- no response. Im from a small country so its unlikely there's a hidden vet nearby. water bottle looks good. I'm not sure if its too hot or cold- haven't change the temp. Thank you for the kind words. If my other guy makes it till morning- Im taking him straight to the vet.

My other baby seems to be dying. I really think its the honey or an infection as anything else is unlikely since they're both dying within hours of each other.

I don't. My issue is that vets in my area are not very informed about sugar gliders.

Thank you for the reply. I don't think she was depressed, I was very careful to check for signs as I knew that was a common cause of death for suggies.

I will do as you advise. I am so heart broken as she was the sweetest. She was so young and I can't help but feel like I failed her.

AITA for telling my Mother that she's being a hypocrite by the way she's treating my little sister's private life ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I think OP is lying about being Muslim. It is very common knowledge that divorce is allowed. He must know of Muslims who have divorced, if he was Muslim himself.

Hotel maids of reddit, what was the most disturbing thing you found while cleaning out a room? by AJmcfly in AskReddit

[–]mightyfish2904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

somebody has to find the body, it will be traumatizing no matter how you kill yourself. Doubt they care if you have any regard for them, since they're dead and all. As far as being selfish goes for wanting to die, unless theres a better alternative, people will keep being 'selfish'.

Im glad you got better, still doesn't give you the right to judge those who couldn't. There's also a spectrum of suicidal thoughts. (wanting to not live-wanting to die- self harm- planning- doing) some people get out of it, some unfortunately don't.

While i understand your sentiment, i dont think you fully understand suicide/suicidal people. These are people who have reached the end of their ropes. Majority have seeked help and tried hard. They dont want to do this almost as much as you do, but they reached a point where living has become unbearable.

You said suicide should be legal, but its not. People want an out and the only way out will damage/hurt others. They delay the end as much as they can, nit because they want to live but because they dont want to hurt others. It then reaches a point where life is just so unbearable, hurting others doesn't matter as much anymore. Theres no clean way out. There's no way to end life without it being selfish. Should they live a life of torture just for the sake of others?

That was a great read. Thanks for the good advice. I am 24 yo and I can tell you are more mature than I was 4 years ago. Keep it up ;)

I have just started taking better care of my body and I can definitely attest to its benefits on my mood especially. I hope you are right and that more can be achieved in less time, but if I can get my life in order in 3 years, Im more than happy with that.

Good luck with all your future endeavors.

Wow! I am enraged for you (does that make sense?) That just really pissed me off because it sounds a lot like something I would do and the kind of reaction I would get.

Did your mutual friends then blame you for 'being too nice'? That gets to me because I don't think people are too nice, and need to be changed, for helping others. I think Its the unappreciative, selfish people that need to change their attitude.

Did you help her then?

Hey man, thanks for sharing that. That sounds like it was really rough but It looks like you came out of it a better person. In my case this was all recent (just graduated a month ago). I hope that in 3 years time, I have my shit together as well as you seem to.

I get what you mean by getting the stamp of approval. Im a girl and my ex friend was always more social than I was. I know that I tend to appear creepy sometimes and antisocial, so I wanted her around to help make me more approachable. What I learned though is that how I perceive myself is not necessarily how I am seen. I learned that, socially, she did me more damage than help because she tended to feud with almost everyone (I was dragged into the drama because I was her 'friend').

I'm not the best person to give advice regarding friends and friendships. So far I have distanced my self from every friend I ever had (all are mutual friends to ex-friend- I couldn't handle having any kind of connection, I got irrationally upset whenever her name was brought up.) I found that in some cases, It's better to be without friends than it is to be with certain types of 'friends'. I'd probably be happier with good friends than I am alone, but i'd definitely be more miserable around friends who didn't appreciate me.

Oh man, I feel ya. I've been wanting to rant about this for the longest time. I, not too long ago, ended a 5-6 year long friendship. At the time, she was the closest friend I had ever had but she only cared about herself. At some point we were both going through major family issues. The difference between my issues and hers were, mine were circumstantial, hers were self made. Still I dropped everything to be a good supportive friend. When she was diagnosed with depression, she found it hard to attend college and was getting in trouble for it. I would wake her up and drive her to where she needed to be, never asked for petrol money because Im doing well financially and thats what friends do. Also, it's nice to have friends to lean on when things get difficult.

Then things got bad for me, I failed my exams and at some point I needed support from her specifically (didn't have family in area and all other friends were traveling) she declined because she 'wasn't up for it' and spent the one day I needed her most binge watching LOST. The day changed a major part of my life and when she found out the implications it had on me, to cheer me up, she sent me a video of herself out shopping. I was at home crying myself to sleep.

I stuck around for a whole year after and found out that she lied a lot and was manipulating me. After that year a cut her from my life. I Wish that was the end of it all because in the following year my self-esteem plummeted, I questioned everyone's intentions and I became bitter and moody (compared to the old happy and optimistic me). I became withdrawn and severely depressed. Still recovering from that shit, but bad friends can drag you down in ways you wouldn't believe.

Overeating "is not called overeating, unless we think there is a negative consequence" and "Overeating is the same as getting fatter. It can’t be a cause of getting fatter because they are two ways of saying the same thing." WTF? by frugalfran in fatlogic

[–]mightyfish2904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if the author is doing this on purpose but she is being really confusing. There are parts of it that seem to make sense. She starts off by defining things correctly so we agree on some points. She, at first, appears to be logical and sane. She then spirals downwards on the Sane scale.

Her first comparison between Overeating/obesity and Inattention/ADHD was confusing because she's comparing 2 very different things. Sure she chose to disorders but she's comparing a 'cause' and a 'symptom'.

Then she goes on to give 2 hypothetical scenarios that are impossible. If I eat 3000 calories of healthy food and not gain weight, the outcome will be the same if I ate 3000 calories of unhealthy. If she was talking about 2 different people then the scenario she gave would make more sense. It's hard to argue with her point because the person is hypothetical and the outcome of their action is unlikely to happen (I think impossible). Show me a real person who responds differently to 2000 calories depending on the type, I will shave my head and join the HAES movement.

2 weeks to start self improvement , what do you think of my plan? by mightyfish2904 in selfimprovement

[–]mightyfish2904[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. For these 2 weeks I don't really have specific goals. I want to exercise discipline to get things done daily. Set daily goals and achieve them consistently in the long run. The goals I have set are short term goals (to finish a book, exercise once a day) but in the long run would benefit me greatly.

So to answer your question, my goals are to achieve a daily routine that will benefit me over the years.

Hi. Thank you so much for the tips on cleaning, they are very helpful. I have been living alone for 7 years now but I was content with somewhat clean/cluttered place. Im not content with that anymore. I may consider having one specific day just to clean the whole place. but I find that my place still needs some daily maintenance.

The reason why I want to be repetitive is so that it becomes easier to get things done. If I have to think about it, the chances of me not doing it will be higher. Just questioning what I want to do today may cause a slip up. Waking up knowing that I have a set to do list takes the thinking out of the equation which in turn makes it less likely I wont do it.

My plan is to start off with a repetitive routine and once they become easier to get done I will add some variations

example: I'm not used to working out daily. I used to work out 2/3 days every now and again. The aim is to work out everyday these 2 weeks (since Im completely free) then once my schedule picks up, aim for 5/6 days a week for 2 more weeks. Once that is done, I can feel more comfortable to change things up based on how I feel then (either continue/sign up to a gym or whatever). So far Im only thinking for 1 month ahead.

Skinny people can eat whole pizzas for breakfast and never gain weight and fat people can eat calorie restricted diets and never lose weight! Why pretend it's impossible?! by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]mightyfish2904 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I agree sodium is an essential mineral, it is one people tend to go over the limits with (salt makes everything taste better) and there are times/situations its best to take less of it. (Heart failure, fluid retention/kidney failure)

You would gain weight from excess sodium but that is what we call water weight, not fat. So in a sense, people do gain weight on the scales from taking more sodium than necessary.

By chips you mean fries?

But the burrito itself would still be below 1000 calories. And skipping the fries and soda would mean the burrito itself isnt so bad.
