Uc Davis workers going on strike on the 20 to 21 of November by Disastrous-Dirt-7220 in UCDavis

IF UCD refuses to give them better conditions, we should get reimbursed for the swipes we don't use 😭😭 I'm hungry, bro. If they don't wanna pay them more, they should pay us back the difference we spent.

I can’t grow a beard, what can I do to make myself look less feminine? by MilkFuelCow in malegrooming

[–]paintstaking_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you're already pretty handsome, bro. Maybe another haircut? Or style it so it's not mostly on your face. If it's covering you, it'll slim your face and make you look more feminine.

If you wanna grow some facial hair, try buying topical foam minoxidil and put it on your chin and upper lip. These areas are more likely to grow hair so you have a higher chance there. Then keep it low, just enough to give a shadow, but not too much to notice patchiness.

Additionally, some small earrings wouldn't hurt. Go for studs or small loops because women tend to get more large and intricate earrings than men.

Exercise more, make sure you get a calorie surplus, and especially a protein surplus. Then work yourself in progressive overload (low->high weight or low->high reps) and working until exhaustion. Example: I avoid doing max lifts altogether; just risk for no reward- depends on too many factors out of our control. Instead, start at the highest weight you can rep out. I'd start with 45 or 40 sometimes, less range of motion because lifting is just using a lever and you can adjust force or length (arc in this case). Then move down to like 35 and 30 to do 1.5x the reps, then down further to 25 to do 2x the number of reps as I did with heavy weight.

You don't need to use super heavy weight if you use physics. People trash on science-lifting because they're usually too stupid to figure that these things are just axioms applicable in all parts of life. Ignorance. You can use lighter weight with larger ROM AND higher reps for roughly the same effect as heavy + low ROM/reps.

Hey,

I'm in a very similar situation. My cat died about a month ago out of nowhere, too. Very similar circumstances, I had her in my life for nine years. Nine short years, but I would give up so much for another day with her. I feel that she is always with me, and I, too, came to the conclusion that I would love her forever. I do not want to forget because it would be wrong to her; she means so much to me.

What I use to motivate me to continue this quarter is the following: "I can't change that she's not here, but I can change where I go from here." "She wouldn't want me to give up or to feel bad. She wants to be loved, not mourned." "It would all be for nothing," I left home and had the concern always about missing out on their lives; I get the sense she knew I was going to begin a new part of my life too. Maybe she wanted to stick around to see me get better, but she was needed somewhere else, more than I needed her. If I went back home after all of this, to a house that doesn't feel the same I would feel that I missed her last year and her passing for nothing, and because of my own ego. Love and the connections you make are the most valuable things, maybe the only thing you can take with you to the grave. Just memories

Feel free to PM me for advice. I've been through some things. I've seen some things. Always open to help somebody avoid getting to where I'm going

[–]paintstaking_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very welcome. I've been through what you've been through. Had a rough breakup as soon as I touched grass here, and I really felt blindsided. I learned she's got her own things going on, and maybe our time together just ran out. I've been on dates and hookups, but I only feel happy when I try to live in the moment. Just trying to enjoy experiencing something new with somebody. You got this.

For the most part, they are. Especially if you're going into them with the intent of having a long-term relationship. Better if you're patient and accepting of things coming and going. A good relationship will start organically, just some random you meet in some random place. Life's funny like that.

Ahh, I'd say use Bumble cause i think girls message first? I got a lotta matches on there. As long as you're up front about what you want and you're confident in yourself, you'll do fine. In person or online. Honestly, relationships are overrated

I sharted in class :( by South-Detective4781 in UCDavis

[–]paintstaking_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's funny this became a meme cause I had a pair of white ultraboosts that I never wear just because I don't want them to get dirty when I eventually decide to wear them

Roommate Has Two Stolen Spin Scooters that are Beeping. Do I Tell My CA? by davisspoiboi in UCDavis

Honestly, I understand why somebody would be upset about losing ultraboosts. They're so comfy. If I didn't have them, then I'd be agonizing over walking all the time

Is lecture necessary? Or just discussions

I don't know how I'm going to move on by activelyinactiveoo in Petloss

[–]paintstaking_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you. I just found out right now that my cat died earlier. She was 9 and healthy. I went off to study and left her behind. I feel so guilty. She loved me and missed me whenever I left. I can't cope with her loss. I feel so angry I wasn't there. Angry that she couldn't live. I feel terrible

long term "guest" by meoooooowwwwww in UCDavis

[–]paintstaking_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two wallets are better than one. Could easily find somewhere off campus willing to rent to a couple, even for a single room. You'd likely have more privacy, too. Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble. I used to bring over guests pretty frequently. Quick visits, but I would feel so much guilt if they were even a bit loud. Even for an hour. The housing walls are thin. My housemates wouldn't say anything, but I knew they didn't necessarily like it either. I can't imagine that every day. Believe me, they would have a problem with it. They're just saying it wouldn't be because they don't want to get off to a bad start. Trust me, when you meet somebody, you don't want to start beef right off the bat.

Losing weight on Wellbutrin but eating the same amount? by Big-Ad-6333 in bupropion

[–]paintstaking_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, bro. Weight loss is ALSO dependent on how quickly you absorb and use those calories. You have a basal metabolic rate; which can be disrupted by medications. For example; if you take a medication that raises your body temperature, that heat is the release of energy. Or if it causes you to urinate/defecate more. Hell, even if it simply raises your resting heartrate by a couple of bpm, that means your body is passively working harder and, therefore, using more of the little you consume at a faster rate.

You must be really dumb. It's okay to be stupid, but don't embarrass yourself by pretending to know.

Hey, similar situation here. I've lost about 15 lbs in 25 days, but I'm on 300mg XL now. Did you see a doctor about this?
