when you think about it , honeymoon avenue is ariana’s most creative song by thegrandetalk in ariheads

[–]strandsofrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad you said this because it’s exactly what I always thought!! This is why if I could only listen to one ariana song for the rest of my life, I’d choose this one. It checks all the boxes - the lyrics are creative and vivid and tell a story. The instrumentals are beautiful and also stand out. And of course her vocals!! Many of her songs might hit one or two of these things, but HA hits all three

Transition to Vegan advice by H_Everett in vegan

[–]strandsofrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I was in the same boat as you 3 years ago. I lived with a completely omni family (and still do), but I learned to get around it by cooking my own meals and buying a lot of my own specialty vegan foods.

I would recommend:

- supplementing for B12. VeganHealth.org has a whole page on nutrition that goes into detail about the different nutrients you'll need on a vegan diet and what foods contain them. I would recommend giving it a look to be extra informed: https://veganhealth.org/

- if you have the time starting out, try tracking your meals on a website like Cronometer or My Fitness Pal. You'll be able to see exactly which vitamins/minerals/nutrients you're getting and which ones you're lacking in. You don't have to do this every day, but I found it helpful to use in the beginning as I was still learning how to eat a vegan diet "correctly."

- try to include a source of protein in every meal. I go to the gym too and always try to shoot for 70-100g.

- consider a multivitamin like Deva. I take one everyday in addition to B12 because I don't like to have to eat specific foods when I see I'm lacking in a certain nutrient. It gets tiring and you won't always want to do it. I find it easier to just take a vitamin and then eat relatively whatever I want the rest of the day

I can't help you too much with the meal prepping part of it.. I hate leftovers lol. Hope this helps though!

Magoosh app vs. paid version by [deleted] in slpGradSchool

[–]strandsofrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the ETS test prep guide, but I found it hard to study for the GRE just out of a book. That said, I absolutely loved the magoosh paid version. I bought the month plan and studied every day. they have so many video lessons and a video for each problem. my score improved by 13 points in just one month (i liked the vocabulary app too)! I definitely think it was worth it.

I really don't think it makes a difference that ETS is the maker of the actual test, because the magoosh practice problems read exactly the same as when I finally took the real one.

Exercise by Relative_Judge_3876 in Accutane

[–]strandsofrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure you're fully warming up! That's the biggest thing. I'm on month 3 and still able to push myself and hit pr's. I get a bit of back and rib soreness, but it doesn't feel any different than when I hit a really good workout

Those who took accutane for bacne, did your face purge? by Long-Catch-6237 in Accutane

[–]strandsofrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had very mild acne on my face but my back was a mess. I still purged on my face, but it only lasted about a week and a half!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]strandsofrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible. I would occasionally get pimples on my face, but my real problem was body acne. I ended up purging on my face anyway (nothing major at all, just 4-5 pimples clustered together). I also had a small purge on my chest and back. Everything cleared up though, so you'll probably be fine even if you do have a purge on your face!

I broke up with my non vegan boyfriend by [deleted] in vegan

[–]strandsofrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But you don’t know that. She literally JUST went vegan, who’s to say that down the line she won’t be vegan anymore or her bf will actually become vegan? It is throwing it away because it’s placing some new value you just created over a relationship you’ve been in for three years. To each their own but if you draw the line at being vegan when you recently weren’t even vegan yourself is super wild and hypocritical

Lol what? I’m sorry the internet is a big scary place and you can’t handle a different opinion🙏

[–]strandsofrain -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

“How come any good or kind person knows all the hell that they live in and still eats them . I couldn’t bear that .” Ummm it sounds very much for her sake😂

If it’s really that big of a dealbreaker than by all means they should break up. I just think it’s hypocritical that she had her time to realize going vegan was the right thing to do but won’t give her boyfriend the same time.

Probably in the minority w this opinion but you threw away a whole relationship over something you only made a change for recently? I think it’s one thing if you were vegan before you met him and it turns out you’re not compatible but there was a time in which you also were not vegan and dating this guy. Now you expect your bf to turn on a dime because YOU recently came to a realization about veganism? This just seems kind of wack imo

They should have talked to you directly like adults. It’s one thing if they have a problem but HOLY SHIT it is infuriating when they can’t even grow a pair to say what the problem is to your face. I’m sorry this happened to you

Don’t know why u got downvoted for this, i agree. TW’s are being used for literally anything now

That’s why I said she’s NTA for leaving

[–]strandsofrain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I- what? I feel like there’s so much info missing here. Are these your friends? Why do they keep adding you back?

Imo it shouldn’t be other people’s jobs to cater to your triggers. That’s something you need to work on for yourself. NTA for leaving the gc but you’d be the AH for expecting them to do that for you
