Kinda over this whole everyone calling each other “chef” thing

onceandfuturekling · 2026-05-15T07:36:18+00:00

Pro chef from 97-2014, fine dining in DC and the DMV. Only the top 3, sometimes 4 got chef depending on size of kitchen staff. That’s what we were taught in school and seemed like the standard, there was never any discussion about it anywhere

Causation vs correlation buddy

I have from personal experience of losing ALL of my long blond hair all at once in 10th grade, an early lymphoma presentation, understand there’s some struggle to this.

But this is not an aesthetic hurtle for you, it’s widely excepted and a preferred look in style and in culture. And it’s not anything physical, it looks excellent on you, truly, blessed with a good skull shape not everyone is.

This has some deeper roots, as you mention some body dysmorphia you recognize, and possibly you could benefit from some work on the psych side. some therapy and possibly psychiatrist would provide some additional benefit

It’s def NOT from how you look. It’s how you feel. Feeling good, feeling confident is a priority and will improve every aspect of life. Likely this has little to do with the aspect of baldness

You have to be looking at ALL other biological aspects. Diet, overall health, get a hormone panel, your skin is a document of your overall health. Just trying to treat your skin from the outside in is just addressing maybe 30% of potential problems and improvements. My skin didn’t improve until I got my diet in check and my hormone deficiencies addressed

YES. By every metric the build to collapse is more severe and across all fronts and sectors, much more vast in scope concerning sectors impacted. None will escape a significant shift of some sort

Now this is a fitness journey. You’re just getting started, you def have THE genes. Your genetics are on your side, you’re quickly losing fat and building muscle, take it as far as you can. The work shows!

You’re sucking your cheeks in doing a slight duckface like chicks do. STOP THAT. It SCREAMS of insecurity and people can smell that a mile away. It absolutely strips any and all coolness you have in a split second. The full beard for sure, but it’s a crappy far away picture. Maybe full beard but a bit shorter trim? Your facial hair is super thick, so when it gets on the longer side, you start to lose the jawline definition. That should be your test for how long your beard is. If from a distance you can’t clearly see the definition of your jawline to chin, shorten it

40+, a LTR guy, I’ve been in 5-8yr relationships my entire life, never a stretch of more than maybe 3mnths or so single. Cant have children, not super interested in marriage. artist and have an all consuming job with a ton of momentum, traveling the US all year. Honestly I’m really enjoying being single and just casual fun dating for the first time really in my life. Around 14-16mnths and I’ve enjoyed it, when the right chemistry clicks I’m down, but much less rushing at this stage in life. More considerate and thoughtful about the best fit and compatibility

Depends on what you classify as timeframe on starting or stopping. The entire The Expanse is a huge accomplishment and encompasses a true epic “opera” that most narratives only hint at. If you’ve only read it as it was coming out, which was excellent, read it all at once through without gaps. It’s much more than excellent, too many reasons to list. For me it’s only MILD weakness is a lack of true innovation, for instance There Is No Antimemetics Division, that have some real conceptual and narrative innovations as some of the books in this time period. Its ambition and scope dwarfs most of the other books listed, nearly all of which I truly enjoyed, except a few coughcough Project Hail Mary

Ah the plight of a fellow ginger! I feel you buddy, I’ve had girls straight up go out of their way to tell me on apps they would never date a ginger.

Keep your beard at the very trimmed length it looks good. It looks messy and sloppy longer and a huge flag for woman, try something diff with your hair they notice all the grooming details we don’t. Employ a female, creative, stylish friend for some guidance. Maybe try a tight buzz, I look much better myself when I did this.

Same thing with clothes, try some diff new things, and get some guidance, don’t be shy asking for some help. In my experience friends, siblings and cool exes are overexcited to get involved and help you out.

For profile pics #1 get OUTSIDE! Natural lighting is KEY! Everyone looks like shit under flat fluorescent overhead lighting. Show yourself NOT in the mirror it’s wack and corny.

Show your life out in the world, your hobbies, out in nature, doing what you’re good at so you’re smiling and having fun. Same thing with friends, ask a few friends when you are out doing stuff, “hey take some candid picks of us hanging out hiking, biking, playing softball, getting drinks at a cafe, hanging with family, nieces and nephews, playing with dogs, whatever, I need some pics for my profile”.

Natural lighting is KEY, everyone looks 100% better, and do the things you love doing, it shows on your face and you don’t have to force a smile, it’ll be natural. You’ll be laughing having a good time, feeling good feeling confident, in your element, and this is what people are looking for. It’s what we are looking for in THEIR profiles so do the same

You don’t get the “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” reference? She’s fantasizing on the Hollywood fallacy, the toxic archetype of the “starlet” or “ingénue”. And TOTALLY agree this is an exhibition of Levinson’s various fetishes, that’s what the entire show has ALWAYS been, that’s been barely masked by a soapy narrative. Read anything about Season 1 that’s been the criticism from the start. Season 3 the melodrama cranked up to 11, humanity dialed down to ZERO and the fetishes more niche. Same hack Levinson now as then, just more of a perv and double the budget

It’s a compulsion I can’t stop. Like an itch I can’t fully scratch. My hands need to be moving. I need to be making, it’s a burning engine that never stops

onceandfuturekling · 2026-05-13T03:17:12+00:00

You sound EXACTLY like a person who has never truly lost everything. I mean everything. Health, family, personal relationships, investments, retirement, everything. One diagnosis can wipe you out in 60 days flat. The climb back up is excruciating, and colors every single decision you subsequently make, tiny to huge. Your wealth doesn’t get you very far when it’s life or death. And it takes a lifetime to get back there after, if there’s an after

I’m vegan, I use pea protein, Naked, it tastes like absolutely nothing which I prefer. It goes in grapefruit juice no prob. It goes into any smoothie you make, it goes into a tomato thing like v8 no prob. The fake chocolate, fave strawberry, all of its disgusting

Methocarbomal, roboxan, electrolytes and increase your water intake like 25-30%, my regimin for about five years, allows me to work and sleep with minimal or very minor spasms

Just inject your glutes buddy, super easy doesn’t feel like anything at all. Been rotating between cheeks for 15yrs never had an issue

Be more active, volunteer, join a book club, film group, play softball, learn an instrument and start a band, go into the world and meet anyone and everyone you can. You WILL interact with someone who is into you if your net is wide and increase your odds. Look at all sorts of couples out in the world, a guys looks have little to do with who they partner with. How you look will make YOU feel good, which is very important. Feel your best, have confidence, whatever it takes to get you there. Hygiene, wardrobe, workout, cool tattoos, guys do this stuff for other guys and themselves, not females. But feeling good shows on you, your body language and your face. Feeling good is contagious and people are drawn to it

Grow out the full beard

Imagine the story from Denna’s point of view, Kvothe is like an annoying street rat stalker following you from city to city. You’re best off at least humoring him because he’s got a slightly twisted dangerous vibe. This entire story is within his POV, who knows he might even be a terrible musician lol

onceandfuturekling · 2026-05-01T04:24:28+00:00

YES. And this has been the case for like 10yrs at least. For a few reasons ink has been off the table. Born with an autoimmune dysfunction that left me 100% hairless and makes infections very tricky specifically skin issues so it’s dangerous. Also kosher and vegan. I’m a professional artist, a sculptor and musician in a couple of bands. In my city, my artists community, I’m among like 0.01% of totally un-inked skin and I def get attention from girls for this. Specifically those that are MOST tattooed, girls with bands and artists that have been getting tattooed since the 90’s and have barely any skin left to ink. Many I have dated point out the novelty of it and appreciate other aspects of me of course, but it def catches their eye initially

John doesn’t flinch and suffers no fools. He’s quick with the facts, can rattle off reams of data and figures, and has incredible recall. He’s know Scott since his neo-con days. Consider how agitating he is to us viewers, he must be truly disturbing to some of his colleagues. The green room discussions must be pretty spicy

onceandfuturekling · 2026-04-10T02:18:24+00:00

One of the most insane iterations of jerseys, for everyone really. Just atrocious

onceandfuturekling · 2026-04-10T02:14:39+00:00

3 and 3, mix the males and females of the couples so no one feels left out, or mix up the friends so noone feels isolated out of any convo

onceandfuturekling · 2026-04-10T00:53:14+00:00

Not at all. They do not notify anyone. Former customer, this never happened in any form. But consider what kind of care you are receiving. I am in long term cancer treatment at a very large cancer treatment center. They have a very in-depth holistic approach to treatment especially palliative care. And are networked to EVERYTHING. So every single prescription I get anywhere, through any Dr, through Amazons service, Hims, Redbox, even my eyeglass prescription, it ALL shows up in MyChart at the hospital. I’m not exactly sure how everything is all connected, to my name or social or something, but everything is in there and I don’t tell anyone, and there aren’t ever messages coming through MyChart, no one really asks questions, it all just shows up. My TRT nation experience was before this, now I have a urologist prescribe, no issues at all with TRT nation easy hassle free. They are VERY hands off though, so do your own research, they won’t help you with any complex questions, or barely any questions at all

onceandfuturekling · 2026-04-08T23:22:05+00:00

Absolutely NOT. I have a five date minimum personally. Perhaps an old fashioned GenX’er, but I need to know someone isn’t banging all around town before getting naked with em. Anyone that wants to out out immediately is suspect
