  • Not that I’m taking this thread very seriously based on the other comments… but other than seeing a doctor, have you tried the obvious things? The things you are describing are not a 30 year old thing. You are way too young to attiribute all of those things to age.

    • Exercise (very important). Get your steps in. Get a watch or something and count em.
    • Eat a proper, balanced diet. Don’t calorie load before bed, eat throughout the day.
    • Go to bed at a decent hour, whatever that is for you. Make sure you are getting at least 8 hours. Women typically need a little more.

    I’ve known a few people that have all your symptoms, and the common denominator is that they are all extremely sedentary and take 0 accountability for their own health. They somehow expect a doctor to fix a problem only they can solve with the things I mentioned above.

    If you’ve been seeing a doctor for years and aren’t doing any of the things I’ve mentioned, you are wasting your time.

    Haha damn, totally missed it.

    It’s actually significantly more expansive than it looks. Part of the bridge you see runs under our deck, and then on the other side there is an enclosed ramp up to our kitchen window. Another part of it forks off to the front of the deck so they have a primo sunbathing spot .We simply unlock the little cat door that was installed in the window screen, and they are out.

    Thanks for the kind words. We feel good about the compromise of letting them outside, but not letting them kill all the surrounding wildlife.

    I made a catio in my backyard (3rd one attached the house) because our little bastards will kill everything in a kilometre radius. Not that we’ve ever tested that, but we’ve seen how they act when creatures smaller then them are out and about within their purview.






  • Just my 2 cents, and echoing some of the sentiment in this thread.

    IMO, if he’s buying Telsa stock, it doesn’t make your buddy a Nazi, or even a Nazi sympathizer. He’s just a guy making money in a capitalist system. It is what it is, and I’m not going to blame anyone for trying to make money where they can. I have friends in the same situation, making money off Telsa, and also despising Elon as a person. I don’t hold it against them, everyone needs to find a way to support themselves. You aren’t going to sewer your own financials just to be morally superior, because that’s going to be a net loss, and it’s pissing into the wind in terms of fighting the system.

    If he’s overtly supporting Elon himself, that’s a different story, but it sounds like he just is making bank off the stock, will ride it out as it’s in his best interest, and there isn’t much cause for concern.

    Again, like other commenters have said, just talk to him. Make him aware you understand he likes Tesla, but ask him if he supports Elon politically/ethically. Make your decisions based off of that. A lot can be accomplished with just a casual conversation. I wouldn’t recommend talking to him with an accusatory or defensive standpoint. I would be pretty casual about it to see where he sits.

    Good luck friend. It’s nasty out there.



  • Not one comment in here about Lord of the Rings.

    Which I agree with. Amazing movies. Glad everyone’s on the same page.

    For me, it’s James Cameron’s Avatar. Visually stunning, especially for its time, but the story has to be the most cliche, predictable, boring, lazy piece of writing to ever have existed. It’s like they held an environmentally conscious 11 year old at gun point and made them write a story. The cigar chomping military guy working for corpos wants to pilfer a beautiful planet for its resources with disregard for the native populations that live there. Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, ALL AROUND ME, EVERY FUCKING GOD DAMN DAY. Get an original idea.

    Fuck this stupid piece of shit dumbass movie. It’s intellectually insulting. It’s a disgrace.
