It's not really DLC, no one would buy it, it's more like a forced software update you can't decline.

As an autistic, with an autistic wife and child, wouldn't it be fascinating if they were right! Paracetamol changing brains would be big news.

But they are just scapegoating and now they are going to punish women with autistic children for poisoning their children in utero.

I'm looking forward to the start of the eugenics program, it's all very Aryan of them.

I'm an ok gamer, maybe even good, but premium? I don't know... I guess this game isn't for me. Better spend my money on other games then.

Working out. Used to think it was too hard and I didn't have time. Pushed myself, started exercising at home and it's snowballed to protein loading, supplement taking, and lifting to failure. It's good to feel like jelly.

Not in the US, but a doctor quizzed me, told me that ladies have loads of easier, safer, reversible options, and was I really REALLY sure.

I got put on a waiting list eventually.

 

I'm not very musical, but I am super envious of people that can just pick up an instrument and strum or pick out some easy music.

I'd like to move from easy to tavern music because I watched a video of someone playing fantasy music on a mandolin which was beautiful.

What can I start with to just play with? I don't know if a stringed instrument is best, because when I have tried guitar it sort of sounds flat, like the guitar is stuffed with socks. Maybe it was a garbage guitar.

Maybe something with keys, or even blow, like a flute?

I tried trumpet but I couldn't get used to the blowing raspberries through the mouth piece...

Advice please!

Im a 40m divorcee and I am absolutely out of my depth thinking about dating.

I have looked at the apps and sites and they never go anywhere for me. No matches or conversations that go no where.

I sort of think that meeting someone will happen when it happens, but I really miss that excitement of learning all about someone and talking all night.

Im also interested in meeting someone outside of my country, because Id love to experience something new, but that makes me look like a scammer.

Incognito mode works, but you can't see the history

Thanks, i had read some bits about it, but not how dramatically it can affect. Might be worth a test to see what my levels are.

I am using a calisthenics app and I really like it to be fair, but augment with the resistance bands and some cardio.

But I want to be ripped now!

I do have a before photo which I will use as a bench mark.

 

I just turned 40, and for the past 5 or so years I have been unhappy with the way I look.

All my life my metabolism has been insane, I could literally eat anything all day and not gain a gram, which has its downsides as well, but not the point.

My weight went up to 80kg and I formed a pot belly which I didnt like. One night I decided enough was enough, started a diet and exercise routine.

I did look at gyms but they are stupid expensive where I live, so I bought a resistance band thing from InnStar. Its like a Gymproluxe if you have been bombarded with Facebook ads. I use it every day for bench press, preacher curls, and some other things I dont know the name of.

I also started using a body weight exercise app that claimed results in a month.

The diet I thought would be hardest, but I immediately stopped all snacks and moved onto a weightloss protein shake which are amazing and I cant believe it took this long to taste them.

Its been a week, and I feel better, Im not sleeping as much, I look forward to exercise, I am much more physically active than before, but I dont feel like I look any different. I am not expecting instant results and I havent booked myself into a Mr World contest this weekend, but I am curious to hear real experiences of when people started to notice their own changes.

 

So I got really into CIV 6 recently. And of course I built a huge army and started steam rolling everyone around me and made the ENTIRE WORLD furious, which apparently isnt the point of the game.

So is there a similar 4x game where I can be a warmonger and not be shunned?

 

Was it because I finished her song with her? I wonder if she has a romance Arc.

Oh... Oh no...

 

I wanted sweets from the old days of big glass jars in the corner shop, so I bought aniseed balls and cola cubes online, because they are no where in my sleepy town.

I only briefly glanced at the weights and assumed they were about right, and in my giddy, pre sugared state I glossed over the price.

Imagine my surprise when I got a kilo of each.

I have eaten so many aniseed balls everything tastes like medicine, which I also quite like.
