I can think of it in terms of close future events like I need to buy a family member a birthday present or go to a wedding but long term how do I see my life going just doesn't happen and when asked I blank. I have a job I like that is safe and I like everyone I work with but this is a lack of ambition and that isn't good apparently. Even my parents have commented they're worried about my lack of ambition.

Not surprised though. wait, that was a real thing I am flabbergasted quote:I'm the one who bought all the Giada avatars to people who posted in that food network thread. There isn't really a joke to it, I just thought it would bother people who had less money to blow than I do. I don't know if I've noticed that this was a thing, but Giada is hot and if there's a foodie-related reason to not like her I don't know what it is so I'm ok with it quote:I inadvertently helped a fugitive not too long ago. They approached me at a gas station begging me for a ride. He told me a sob story about how his car broke down and he really needs to make it home because his son is there alone, that kind of thing. He seemed nice and genuine enough so I did and drove him about 30 miles to some rural area and dropped him off. As he was getting out he mentioned it was his kid's birthday soon and especially with the upcoming car repair cost he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get him a present. He asked for only 20 dollars but I was feeling bad and wanted to help especially since a kid was involved so I gave him all the money I had (just over 100 dollars). If it helps, he might not have committed the robbery yet at the time. He might not have been "on the run," he might have just wanted to scam a free ride and some pocket money off you. This is a really common grift, and the kind of person who'd run it could probably also rob a store. Someone asked me for money for gas at a rest stop once; I offered to instead help him push his car to a pump and fill it up for him, and he changed his mind and said he didn't need help after all fake-edit: wait I wanna change my story. I said "yup, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself, and we could all use a little chaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE" and he just kinda left

It makes a ton of sense! Though why he chose The Walking Dead instead of something HBO related is weird. I just figured they were pretending to be someone on Better Call Saul. edit: Oh no! Could it be Michael McKean?!

Mutie skull house goon, you might be able to spin it into some real times money, or more likely at least break even. Weave up a story about how difficult it was to renovate, you had to do some renovations twice, spirits of the mutant dead, incest hell clan, what happened to the final owner, etc. Somebody has more money than sense and is hosed up enough to want to buy that house. Hell, wreck up your renovations on it it might make it all more believable. Gaslit goon, i'd say be prepared to man. There's a good chance that she actually literally believes the reality she creates and that's just a toxic, bad scene.

I mean for actual decisions. Obviously you would still chat, but if this is an issue you're trying to figure out, it wouldn't kill him to text "looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at 7 at Joe's" or for her to email the grocery list or whatever. It's a weird enough situation that I understand wanting to figure out what the gently caress is happening rather than just ending it immediately.

quote:Some time ago i was seized by a sudden desperate need to reduce my weigth. Yeah this is not a good way to lose weight If your body's in starvation mode (which it is) it will balloon right back up the instant you start eating like a normal person again and I think it'll stay that way. You absolutely can get "used" to eating too much as well, which is why you were so hungry all the time before, but this is not a good response. quote:I'm pretty sure I'm a sociopath. Somehow. I don't really know how that happened. bro It doesn't sound like psych drugs are for you but you should still try to work on yourself without them because you're not happy

Still should be doing some exercise and getting more protein, May want to take a multi vitamin as well if you're just gonna stick with that diet.

Extreme diet goon, congrats on seeing your problem and making the effort. That is way more than others do. However, I agree, fasting, which is essentially what you do, doesn't work, you will add the weight back on in no time. Since you already have the will to slim down, get the knowledge to do it right. Speak to a nutritional expert. Generally speaking, you need to make sure your daily intake covers at least your base requirement in terms of calories so you can function normally. For an office worker that's about 2000 I think but check that. Your stomach als needs to get used to smaller portions, then your will be less hungry overall. And cut out the soda. Water with a splash of lemon juice for flavour if you want and tea without sugar are your best friends. Anyway get the professional help you need and check whether your health insurance offers support, some do. Don't be afraid to get help, be proud that you tackle your problem.

Look at all these leftist new age medicine diet advice givers. Congrats on your soup cut bro, seems like it's working. The body does not "go into starvation mode" and "balloon back up" as soon as you start eating. Yea, there's some minor differences between people/ages/genders as far as base metabolic rate but they are not significant, not really and definitely not over a reasonable period of time. (e.g. if you're sick or something you might have a much higher base rate just because you're sick or whatever, but it'll go back to average once you are not sick, or near 0 if you die lol) Your body mass (how fat you are) will entirely depend on your diet and there is no magic to it. If you want to absolutely control it then control everything you eat, measure it by the gram/oz/stone/cumweight, and calculate the nutritional content. This is a lot easier than it sounds but also you will be socially rejected if weak baby people see you doing this because it will make everyone who's not doing it feel fat and weak (they are). Or you can be some kinda spooky soul cooking person that bases all their health decisions on their feels and making sure not to fat shame or something, but everyone who does that ends up like one of those half fat people who aren't fat or skinny and have weak arms.

But I dunno if they've done any studies on regular fat people (not 400+-pounders like that show), so I dunno if that holds.

Fatgoon: try keto. Worked wonders for me and a load of my friends and family in shedding weight. Once you get to where you need to be start reintroducing carbs slowly and from there on portion control and having your stomach adjust to it should help you keep a stable weight.

I recommend the Keto diet. It's basically low carb, but it's not anything crazy like "ALL MEAT AND CHEESE ALL DAY EVERY DAY", doing it properly means balancing, as it should be. But you pretty much cut out bread and sugar. And then you feel INCREDIBLE (after the first week).

The goon who was in a child pornography ring when he was little posted a followupquote:I meant that talking to someone about it was the next best thing, not sending in a fesh specifically. I know that being in a crowd of pissbitches and Kanes and Gohans and Fake Doobies is definitely not going to be the best thing for my (or anyone's) mental health. A lot of the therapy that I've gotten over the years was the advisement to tell people about what happened to me and see their reactions - mostly to prove to myself that I'm not going to be considered some sort of weird monster because something hosed up happened to me. Considering nobody in-thread called me a human being, I'd say it worked out. Alright, well then, glad we could help Nobody should have to go through what you went through, but you're not a broken person. quote:I hate my job and I see no prospect of getting out of it. Corporate bullshit will chew you up and spit you out if you let it, man. Really it seems like picking up stakes and moving away might be your best bet, but I can fully understand how that might feel intimidating. Focus on how good your new life could be and try to take some motivation from that.

quote:I'm moderately disabled. It's ugly (people stare when it's visible) and it does limit me in some things but I'm not in a wheelchair and I can do most of the stuff normal people can. I can see both sides of this one, honestly. I think if I found out by surprise that someone I was dating had a visible disability of some sort I'd feel lied to, but also I'm imagining being told "uh exCUSE me but this date is under false pretenses because I was not aware you were a BROKEN HALF-PERSON" and the person saying that comes off as a total tool I dunno, I say don't take a Horrible Injury Selfie or whatever, but do mention it after you start talking to someone but before you go on a date with them, so they don't feel "tricked". quote:I have some very close friends who are trans. They are some of the closest friends I've ever had. I support them, and I'll do anything for them. This issue is kind of a live grenade on the Internet in general and I'm too tired today to really articulate myself well so I'll just leave it at that
