That's what I want to do most of the time.
me too thanks
Scary story? More like the happy ending my guy
be me: loses 98 lbs.
"fuck yeah I feel great"
gets trendy haircut to make it look like I don't have thin hair
"fuck yeah I feel younger"
gets news glasses and clothes
"fuck yeah I LOOK great"
goes out to bar to see if I catch attention
gets attention
thinks: "fuck yeah, I'm in the game."
freezes
goes home
So yeah. I like home. Home is safe.
I mean hey, congrats on the weight loss. Nothing wrong with looking good for yourself.
Thanks! Yeah. I wish I could say it was hard. But wegovy was easy. I'm weaning off of it too, and so far no weight has come back.
Modern medicine is a marvel. I'm starting semaglutide too and so far it's having a huge effect on my habits, but I haven't lost too much weight yet.
It takes a bit. I didn't really start losing weight until 1.7mg dose. I went up to 2.4mg originally but I lost 10 lbs in two weeks so they brought be back to 1.7 for a month or two before bumping me back to 2.4mg /week.
Now, weaning off of it, I'm at 2 weeks between 2.4g doses. Then it will be 3. If I still don't lose weight, then I win.
That’s a success story.
Safe spaces is not where you grow and learn. That happens outside the comfort zone. Uncomfortable emotions will come up and they will pass.
Succeeding on the first try shouldn’t be expected. Try again.
Safe spaces is not where you grow and learn
imagine pinning that up at your local school ...
that would cause a shitstorm for sure. and they'd be right.
Jokes on you, that's all I wanted to do as a kid anyway. Livin' the dream!
“Whatever you want within what you can afford.” And staying home alone is cheap.
And it will be more glorious than you can imagine.
Can confirm. Hell is other people. At least 75% of the people I live around.
That low? Goddamn you’re lucky
That would not have scared child me. Child me would be delighted she wasn't been dragged to various things her mother wanted her to do.
My chances of unlawful arrest are less at home. Not zero….but less.
it's only scary because he left out the details like, the living room with a 55" 1.22m wide 4K oled display, gaming PC, mini fridge, air conditioning and a drawer filled with vegan chocolate and cookies.
What else does it have? Let me live this fantasy
lol, i just put things from my living room. okay, here some more stuff from it: a side table stacked with bags of potato chips, a sugar free gum ball dispenser, magnetic auto stirring cups, a box of grape juice packs and a crate water bottles, a remote to switch lights, multiple wireless headphones, gaming controllers, a solar charger and a regular charger for batteries for the controllers, two ergonomic chaiselounges, two laser leveling tools that project lines on the floor to show where best to move the chaiselounges for gaming.
And you'll be happy doing that
Not necessarily
As I get closer to 50 years old I begin to understand this. I still choose to go out most days but I start to see the appeal of just... Not.
Me, yesterday.
Long-ish day at school, my girlfriend went to friends for karaoke. I had the option of either going with her, going to table tennis practise, or go play Magic at our LGS for FNM.
I chose option D: stay home, smoke weed, watch YouTube, and play video games. Really needed it.
On the plus side, you can get a pie and eat it all yourself.
This works with cake, too...uh... according to my friend, who told me.
'Go home' is pretty much all I've ever wanted to do.
Me, a kid who spent most of my time home alone: Why is this a scary story?
Lol "chose anything you want."
And I hate myself for that 😁
You can't hate yourself into self-acceptance.
Practice kindness.
"I am allowed to rest and chill, life is draining."
And at the same time you should consider making plans to do small things just to get out of the house. Planning them ahead will make them more concrete and if you want to you can always bail on them later.
Start with the smallest steps like going for a walk.
Hey hey hey. I'm sure there are much better reasons to hate yourself
True dat, friend ❤️
Do you guys feel like you're the same people you were when you were kids? I feel like there's a direct connection between me now and me as a teenager (over 20 years ago) but a break between me now and me as a pre-teen who wanted to go out and do things instead of sitting at a computer all day.
I feel like that guy didnt have a group of wolves waiting for you to fuck up so they could tear you to bits.
Hm... I have no way to measure. All I've wanted for as long as I can remember was to be mostly left alone to enjoy my computer.
I figure I'll grow out of it shortly after I retire.
Bro I can't remember what I was doing this time last year
Oh to be able to choose
Oh no, god forbid you choose a little bit of meaningfull solitude over being connected everyday, all of the time
"who rests, rusts" and similar bullshit are prohibiting it xD
I want to own a library adjacent a bakery that I run which also serves Frappachinos and is open between 6pm and 6 am (no other of either is open past 6pm in this area) but I can't do that for one really big reason: MONEY, and one smaller reason: realtors never call you back.
I also want to open the following manufacturing facilities: Cetyl Alcohol, Propionic Acid, and lastly Semiconductor grade silicone powder. Stills and vats are easy enough after the red tape, but quartz crushers, seperation cells, and furnaces are a bit harder to come by.
You've described paradise. I hope you're able to make this happen.
Edit: I read the first half of your comment and then responded. But I guess manufacturing is good, too.
Can confirm.
Damnnnn I really need to get around to killing myself
pixeltree, i always see you saying these things. but why? what's the story, if you don't mind me asking :3
(you can also DM me in case you want to)
How is that a scary story? That’s how all decent people operate.
