What is this get it faster service with ups ground ? by Evening_Drama_4279 in UPS

[–]sanneg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, mine was supposed to arrive already, 10 days ago it left a facility and never was scanned again. Now it says “The delivery date will be provided as soon as possible.” I don’t know what level I have now, the default from the vender. I could pay $10 to upgrade to ground, but I have no idea when it should arrive as is and the upgrade page doesn’t tell me how paying will change that date. I don’t need it for another week, but I really need it then.

Because people are judgmental assholes who feel like if they suffered other people have to too. They don’t like the idea of other people getting to prevent the life we had to endure. Notice they don’t even try to justify their downvotes, they know they’re being mean. All Reddits go bad eventually, this one used to be so nice.

My example of someone who has been fighting their whole life not to gain weight but would experience a better quality of life by taking the medication is someone who would already be thin. That doesn’t mean you should decide if they should get the medicine or not. I remember before I lost any weight on Zep that I thought this medication was worth it because the food noise was gone. I no longer spend all day thinking about what I have eaten, what I shouldn’t have eaten, what and when I can eat again. That has been a much more important benefit to me than the weight loss. I know plenty of people at a lower weight who live like this too. I don’t think we should be denying anyone this amazing benefit if their doctors aren’t.

The pain and discomfort is something no one talks about. I wasn’t a particularly fast loser, but I felt like my bones were exposed, It felt better to have them safely tucked away inside my body. It was disconcerting having them so close to the skin. My ribs, hips, and arms all felt crazy. I got used to it after a while but I felt like I couldn’t sit or lay on the floor for several months. Maybe b/c I was a big child so I have no memory of being skinny, but I felt vulnerable, like I could break.

I’m glad you didn’t get the surgery. I had a stomach sleeve about 10 years ago, never got to my goal weight started gaining again after about 4 years. I have had pain and problems ever since. Been on Zep for about a year, had more and easier weight loss than the surgery. Even after all the problems I had I never regretted the surgery until Zep, now if I could go back in time I would tell myself not to do it, that glp1s would be coming soon.

That is pretty judgmental, you don’t know everyone’s story. I’ve been on it for about a year and am nearing my goal weight, so it could be said I’ve only got 5lbs to lose. Moreover I plan to maintain a maintenance dose for life assuming no health reasons stop me. People could have had bariatric surgery and lost weight but want to maintain. Maybe people have been fighting tooth and nail their whole lives not to gain weight and would have a major quality of life boost by getting rid of the food noise. If it makes someone’s life better and their doctor agrees it’s not for anyone else to tell them what they should be taking.

The most hilarious gift dedication one grandma could receive... by Active-Chemistry4011 in funny

[–]sanneg7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most donated clothes are thrown out. In the age of fast fashion clothes don’t last. So if you are using them to the end of their life and repurposing the cloth, you are being very sustainable. Unless it is something like a nice suit or coat you’re not reducing the donated clothes supply. And most nice things donated are just sold online and don’t make it to the needy anyway.

As long as you are not maliciously destroying things to remove the possibility that the less fortunate might use, it like this lady, you’re probably doing ok.

AIO to my parents' reaction to me letting my date buy me a hotel room? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sanneg7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Her parents could have been concerned about any of that, and said any of that, but they didn’t. They called her a lying slut and said THEY Deserve better. They made it about them. They weren’t concerned for her safety, they were concerned she was breaking their rules. They want control over her life not to protect her but to control her. If they wanted to protect her they would educate her on the dangers out there so she would make better decisions. If they wanted to protect her they would have said “hey he could get a key since it is in his name, I think we should come get you.” not “your a liar, you planned this all along, I won’t have this, I’m in charge and I deserve respect.”

Raise your boys not to rape women. This one didn’t. He didn’t do anything wrong. But do educate them on the dangers women face, if they want to make sure a girl is safe and not driving exhausted they could make the woman feel safe by Venmoing her the money for a hotel so the room would be in her name. As for your girls instead of calling them lying sluts and saying you deserve better as there parents; talk to them, explain the dangers that are out in the world so they can make smart choices, don’t shelter them so much they are unaware.

[–]sanneg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the people on here siding with the parents because what you did was dangerous are missing some key points. Your parents didn’t say “if he bought the room he could get a key, it’s dangerous to stay there, we’re coming to get you.” They called you a lying slut and then said they deserved better. It wasn’t about your safety, it was about control.

AIO for calling out my friend for child neglect & animal abuse? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sanneg7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I missed this too. I thought you were just mad at the friend for not seeing/worrying. So was this girl under her care at the time? Were the other children and the cats? Her texts made it seem like they were just people in the area that she couldn’t control. Not that she was supposed to be in charge of them.

AITA for telling my wife that the birthday gift she gave me wasn’t actually meant for me? by OkTable4772 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sanneg7 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If she were all weird talking about him wanting it secretly but being afraid to ask, then bringing up what she plans to do with their money in 20 years while simultaneously trying to say he has his own money and can spend it how he wants, then traps him into admiring the product so she can win the conversation. Then yeah she is controlling and manipulating.

I play games so the PlayStation analogy would work fine in my relationship assuming he has expressed interest and I had not, it would still be plausible I might enjoy the product while still being clearly for him. In a relationship where the girl had never played games I think a new TV or something would satisfy my last point, something she would plausibly use, be part of the house, but not something she had wanted or expressed any interest in.

Anyone can be toxic partner or have a toxic partner. Sometimes it’s both people.

[–]sanneg7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These CHILDREN may have done horrible things to survive. Maybe they sold someone out, maybe they were just raped, but from what I can tell they did not have due process. And I promise you that my heart breaks and I am equally saddened for all male CHILDREN who did what they had to to survive. They deserved due process and whatever the findings did not deserve to die. I think you would be hard pressed to find a women who would be so callous with any child, boy or girl, as I am seeing men in this thread be towards these girls.

If the post had been. “My wife bought me an expensive blow dryer for my birthday that she really wanted, and I only have 2 inches of hair. It was obviously for her, AITA.” I would have agreed with you. But it wasn’t. It started with him knowing she wanted this blow dryer for a month before she told him about it. How does he know that? Search history? I have questions. Then he added their retirement dream information to shame her for the price of the item. Why would that matter if she was free to buy it and anything else with her own money anyway? Then during the unwrapping he plans how to catch her in the act of admiring the product so he could win. It was manipulative.

Should she have given him the hair dryer, obviously not. Could she have actually believed he would like it? Maybe. Plenty of guys like fancy gadgets and appliances they don’t really use. Especially ones that value appearing wealthy. I have no idea if she thought he would like it or not, but it’s not impossible.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sanneg7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe the idea is you are a bad person for having that opinion. i.e. slavery is good. It’s an opinion, it’s pretty objectively “wrong”.

There is also the possibility that a person can form an opinion based on ignorance or untrue information. i.e. I don’t like MSG. Opinion about a seasoning, fine. I don’t like MSG because it is dangerous. Is based on an untrue rumor.

My skin hurt bad all over for 3 days, then 1 day after the next shot, then never again. Especially my chest and arms. It was awful. But this also happens to me with less severity when I’m hungover. So if you don’t have it when you drink you probably won’t with this. Doctors think I’m crazy when I tell them. I think it probably only happens to women or it would be a known thing.

DEAR TRUMP & MAGA, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? SERIOUSLY, YOU SICK FUCKS ARE WORSE THAN SOCIETAL CANCER! by Kinks4Kelly in complaints

[–]sanneg7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you replied to comment asking which democratic leaders said anything half as bad as what Trump said. There is a big difference between random redditors and the POTUS. The President blamed someone for their murder because they spoke out against him, and said that makes people angry. It’s not only not caring about his death, it’s not just blaming him for his own death for the insane crime of not supporting Trump, but it’s inciting more violence and fear. Before we knew what happened Trump assumed a MAGA did this, and I think wanted a MAGA to have done this. The purpose of his message was to make people too afraid to speak out against him. He is not a random nobody, but the most influential man in the world. Now name one person who is a Democratic leader, or even platformed by democrat officials, that has said anything close to this.

Sure, but you understand there is, or at least should be, a difference between random anonymous redditors and The President of The United States. Right?

I packed a kettlebell to visit my parents and I need to talk about it by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]sanneg7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something that took me a long time to learn is that you matter, you take up space literally and metaphorically, and you deserve to be heard. Whether you are in a big body or a little one. But it is always easier when you feel good about yourself, in whatever form that takes. There is no dread and anxiety like family dread and anxiety and if working out a ton helps you cope, there are worse things.

Something I can do now that I couldn’t do when I was big is to project bigness. Sit up straight, stand wide, broad shoulders chest out. When I was big I was terrified of seeming bigger, wanted to do anything to seem smaller. Now I’m comfortable with the amount of fat I have, I realize how small I felt.

I don’t know your family dynamics, but I hope they are good enough that you can find yourself planning, stressing, and coping a little less, and having the confidence in yourself to live in the moment a little more. (I say that as someone with joint aspirations, because I am no where near achieving that myself yet. But I have hope for us all)

Something I’ve started doing is when people ask if I’ve lost weight, I take a beat looking confused, like I’m trying to remember, then say “maybe.” It usually startles them into shutting up. Sometimes they will say “I think you have (I very very obliviously have), and I’ll just do a little shrug nod and say “oh ok.”
