I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much the "interview" has changed. It used to be this rigid, formal thing where someone sat behind a desk and grilled a guest. Now, it feels like everyone is trying to manufacture this hyper-specific, awkward, or "candid" vibe to make it feel more authentic. Sometimes I think the forced awkwardness is actually more performative than the old-school stuff ever was.
It’s interesting watching how creators decide who "fits" their brand. There's this unspoken rulebook now about who is "cool" enough to sit across from someone, or which public figures are too stuffy to work with. It feels like we're moving away from just asking questions and moving toward curated social vibes. If a guest doesn't match the aesthetic or the specific brand of humor, the whole thing just feels off, doesn't it?
I personally miss the days when you could just sit down with someone interesting, regardless of whether they fit a certain "niche" or vibe. Do you think the "vibe check" is ruining real conversation, or is it just the natural evolution of how we consume media?

Sorry, I just can't help myself—I'm always super skeptical when I see "recommendations" from forum users whose entire history is just one single, godforsaken post.
Absolute legend of a dentist—Dr. Trubić (right by Chipoteka) He pulled all my wisdom teeth except for one—which he actually referred out to a surgeon who handled it super smoothly and professionally about two years ago for $333 For the rest of the extractions, I think he charged me around $400 or maybe $150 per tooth (if my memory serves me right) I’m not really sure about his rates for other fillings or extractions
But honestly, I recommend him without hesitation because the guy is just a total pro!
My experience with Celest was a total mixed bag. On one hand, I didn't deal with any weight gain, my PMS basically vanished, and my periods stayed totally normal—no crazy cramps or anything. Plus, I didn't end up with those annoying varicose veins or any of that other stuff people complain about, and I definitely didn't have issues with bloating or digestive stuff. The downside? They absolutely triggered some melasma on my face, which finally cleared up once I stopped taking the birth control. So yeah, that was the "negative" part—and honestly, it was a pretty big deal to me.

Eat yogurt—once a day. Wear loose cotton pants or skirts. Skip the tights. Or if you absolutely have to—go with thick leggings or stay with just socks. Wash your lady parts with just water. (Or specialized soaps, if you’re really going to insist)
Avoid tampons. When it comes to pads, don't go for those ultra-thin ones; grab something slightly thicker (always stick to regular, and change them often) or even better, go old-school with the ones that aren't "super absorbent"—those thin ones always give you this fake sense of dryness.
After you pee, wipe from front to back. Always. Whenever you get the chance, go commando in some wide, comfy loungewear.
And seriously, go get a Pap smear done.
I'd also add: ditch the thongs, and work on boosting your immune system (maybe try some Aloe Vera or some other natural supplement) 😉
Timothy Campbell2 said:honestly, it feels like Little Red Riding Hood is actually kind of proud of it???
Bulimia is basically an escape hatch from everything else—because when you're hyper-fixated on that, you don't have to deal with the stuff that's actually tearing you apart. A person struggling with Bulimia pretty much lives and breathes food, purging, working out, calories, the scale, you name it... Once you hit a certain weight, you feel this weird sense of pride about being thin (EDIT: I gotta add, weight fluctuates like crazy, and let's be real, as someone with Bulimia, you rarely stay at that "perfect" thinness for long), but then almost immediately, the reflection in the mirror starts shifting again. You start feeling fat all over again. It’s because, in some twisted way, Bulimia becomes your entire lifestyle—it becomes a necessity—so you just trigger the whole cycle all over again. But here's the thing: this obsession with looks and being skinny is super abstract in a bulimic's head—you don't even feel connected to your own body. You don't feel like it's even yours.
I honestly don't even have the energy to talk about this—it was my entire reality for years, and even now, I'm still fighting it, even though my diet has finally leveled out and I'm not constantly going to extremes anymore. I wasted so many years just fighting this on my own, and let me tell you, I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Seriously, go get some help, make things easier on yourself, and find a therapist. 🙂
domosLutalus said:...not sure if this thread already exists... but I read somewhere that drinking way too much coffee isn't great for you... just wondering how many cups you guys go through a day... and where/when do you usually get your caffeine fix??? ...for me, it's about 2 to 4 cups daily..
I absolutely need one first thing in the morning—I'm basically a zombie without it... then maybe a quick macchiato in the afternoon... though not every single day. 🙂
I’m knocking back like 2 or 3 liters of water every single day, and honestly? I feel freaking amazing since I started making it a thing. I can totally see the difference in my skin and just my overall vibe—there is no way I'm ever going back to being dehydrated. 🙂
a fake Black Knights said:Man, I just tried it. It’s nasty. I don't usually drink this stuff, but maybe the filter on my intake valve is shot or something because it's not purifying anymore. You can see all these tiny particles floating in it under the light, and the taste? Just gross.
I honestly drink more Fiji Water than this tap water crap. This is seriously 🙂
What about you guys? And let me know what city you're in.
Newport and Mystic—those areas actually have killer tap water. For me, that’s the gold standard. And honestly, Cleveland isn't far behind on that front either. So yeah, I'm definitely a tap water drinker, and I make sure to knock back at least 2 liters of pure water every single day.

To me, it feels like routine is what provides that safety net. We all have our own little habits that keep us grounded, right? For me, my security comes from my expertise—knowing I can always hold my own professionally—and that gut confidence that I’ll figure it out. No matter what happens, whether it's a rough patch or a major setback, I know I can navigate through it.
Jerry Moore2 said:I’m dying to know what you guys think about this one from Azrin:
"When she says NO, she actually means MAYBE. When she says MAYBE—well, god help you, because whatever happens, happens. But when she says YES? I’m absolutely terrified."
Honestly, pretty much every guy out there is thinking along those exact same lines. 😁
I read somewhere that they didn't stick strictly to history—that there are some changes here and there—but honestly, it’s a movie you should just go see for the spectacle, those massive scenes, and the hot actors... fuck history anyway... real life is harsh enough as it is
Kenneth Hernandez67 said:I'm positive things are going to improve 🙂
Look, even this past year has proven that you can actually make a massive difference, even in the toughest cases. 👍
But sure, obviously... my patience is wearing thin... like—we've been keeping this guy in a psych ward for a whole year, burning through serious cash every single month, and now he’s right back where he started. 🙄
Don't get me wrong... that's not really the point. He might feel "better" in some ways, but he isn't getting "cured"—you knew that from day one... Ups and downs are just part of the deal with his condition, unfortunately...
The real win here is that you've allowed him to live with some actual dignity despite being sick. He isn't wandering around looking like a mess, and he's under professional medical supervision.
Look, I’m gonna be real with you—I think you just don't get enough physical exhaustion. You seriously need to start moving more. That back pain? It's probably because you're being too sedentary. Start with some light exercise twice a week, stop eating right before bed, and for heaven's sake, leave work at the office when the day is done.
Look, I don't work at some massive corporation... 😎 And it’s not even crap!!! This was actually a pretty decent read... plus, I'm totally with Tony on this one. Working for a giant firm isn't some universal benchmark for success,
BUT WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT WE CAN LOOK AT OUR LIVES DIFFERENTLY—LIKE A GLASS HALF FULL INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY STARING AT THE EMPTY HALF! 🙏
A LITTLE BIT OF OPTIMISM WOULDN'T HURT!!! 😁 🙏 ESPECIALLY ON A DREARY, GRAY, RAINY DAY LIKE THIS....
