u/AdhesivenessOnly2485

This has me conflicted. A guy that I've been talking to had asked me how my day was and I had supper. Now, I take Adderall IR along with Zepbound. Both that have been prescribed to me by my doctor for legit medical purposes. One for my adhd, and the other to help me lose weight as I was morbidly obese, and now in the overweight category through all of my hard work.

When I told him that because these meds that im on literally kills my appetite (as we all know), he then tells me that he takes Adderall too. I was surprised and asked if he had ADHD, excited to meet a potential romantic partner who would finally GET having adhd.

Nope. He tells me that he's perfectly fine and buys it off of his friend, just when he needs a "pick me up". now knowing this, I really dont know if I want to even continue seeing him. Any adhd meds as we know are harder to come by, and its thanks to people like him. Its taking all of me to hold myself back to just say how dare him take away a resource that people in the community desperately need.

I have a date with him this saturday and im not sure to stick with it and end it afterwards or to just do it now. How would you all react in my situation?

Already my university is pro-RDM, so that part I can cross off my list. I'm trying to gage though what other institutions offer as services to their faculty/researchers in regards to RDM? Already, I have been helping researchers with their DMP before submitting them to the funder in question, but I feel like I should be offering more services aside from that one. Like my position is relatively new and I am the first RDM Librarian at my Uni so I have nothing to go off of.

One biggest service though I have seen other unis do is to provide metadata services to researchers to help them clean up their data and prepare it to the repository of their choice. I was wondering what all involves in that service if this is something you do provide? Fortunately we already have a Librarian for Schol Comm so publishing is something I don't really need to worry about either.

I'm pretty new to the RDM space, but because of my background in Archives and Metadata, I feel like it does put me at an advantage for services I could provide, but would love to know what other University Libraries are doing. Thanks all!

I'm down for mostly any type of game. Whether it's Uno to Marvel Rivals. I do play Marvel Rivals a lot, but am open to try new games too. I do have BG3 and would love to do a campaign run, or any type of co-op. Other than that, sometimes I like to just chill and yap too, we don't really have to be doing anything.

Like I said, I just found out today that one can be both Oily and have Dehydrated skin. This has gone on for me for years when I first started tret, noticed the it was flakey and just assumed my skin just magically become dry. So I would buy all of these super moisterizing products, but ofc felt like a complete greaseball.

I am on tret again along with using other active ingredients and I had noticed that I felt like no matter what I did with my appearance, it always looked cakey and that towards the end of the day, it would really separate around my chin area. When I researched into this (and please correct me if I'm wrong) but it's due to the lack of hydration that my skin has been compensating and making me oilier.

Here I am now, dumbfounded and yet so ready to fix this. Here is a list of all of the products I use now:

in the AM:

-CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser

-Peach slices Snail Rescue toner

-for moisterizers I switch between La Roche Posay Double Repair Matte, Vanicream Daily Facial Moisterizer, and the Dieux air angel

-CeraVe Invisible Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

in the PM:

-Benzyol Peroxide 10%

-Paula's Choice 4% BHA Advanced Exfoliating Serum Toner

-Haruharu wonder black rice essence

-Either the Vanicream or the Dieux Air Angel

-Tret (0.025% in the gel form)

-Moisterize again

Again, I feel so stupid and want to learn to take care of my skin properly. My skin is oily, with acne around the chin area and large pores. I want to have a proper routine of when I should use these products and what is best for me as I am so tired of my skin looking bleh.

I've been following her for quite some time and noticed that she started her weight loss journey and has been using GLP-1s to help. I've been following her updates on the GLP-1 and have noticed that she may not be as honest as she claims to be?

I forget which GLP-1 she was on first, but pretty much, she wasn't seeing any results. When I went to her comment section, a lot of people were asking if she was working out, drinking enough water, getting her protein/fiber intake, etc. I feel like anytime anyone would ask or offer her genuine advice, she gets super defensive, stating that, that part is personal and is between her and her doctor. So then...you're not being 100% transparent?

I had also saw the link in her bio too for the company she is using to help her on her journey and assume she gets a small commission when people use her link to sign up. So if this company never reached out to her, she wouldn't have even started?

Idk, I feel like there are just some things about her GLP-1 content that is just so off imo. I wanted to see what other people thought about it. Again, I think it is an amazing step to get your life back on track and to become healthy again. We're not perfect and so striving to become the best version of ourselves is something that should be commended.

***I forgot to mention as yes I am aware she did state she has PCOS/PMOS and that also could affect it.

My baby boy is about 12 lbs last that I took him to the vets (he's a Siberian Mix). I had recently gotten him the PetLibro water fountation from the Catit Water Fountain. Already love it. I love the design and the fact that I can track his water intake.

With that in mind, I had noticed that he only drinks about 2 oz of water a day. When I researched to see how much water he should be drinking, the recommended was 8-10 oz. Aside from drinking water, he also stays hydrated with the wet food I feed him daily, which is the Friskies lil soups. But I fear it's not enough. AND on top of that, when it comes to wet food, he's very particular. I can't feed him wet foods with mostly solids as he'll only drinks the liquids out of it, but it can't be all liquids because he won't eat it at all. So the Lil Soups has been the compromise. But, I understand that these are meant to be toppers and not full meals of themselves. When I lift the scruff on his neck, it does go back down to normal, no delays or anything.

What have you all done to help your kitty reach their water goals? Do you also have a particular cat like mine when it comes to his wet food?

We all love those, don't we?

I was coming back from a concert and was a little tipsy. Not enough where driving was a problem. Anyways, I noticed that I was about to run out of gas, so like anyone with common sense I pulled into the gas station. The next is what follows.

A guy in a black car pulls into the station next to mine. I am about done with pumping up this ridiculously high priced gas and getting into my car.

Him: What's her name?

Me: *looks over*

Him: *Looks intently at me*

Me: What do you mean?

Him: Your car, what is her name?

Me: Oh my car doesn't have a name (actually yes she does and her name is Kitty, but why the fuck would I tell you that?)

Him: Everyone names their cars though

Me: Oh I guess not me. Well have a goodnight.

Him: What's the rush? Are you in a hurry?

Me: Oh yea, it's midnight and I am little tipsy and tired.

Him: Yea me too.

Me: Ok well have a good night.

Him: You're leaving because I'm black isn't it?

Me: No I just have to get up early tomorrow.

I wanted to get out of there so badly that I had forgotten to put the cap back on my gas tank. I didn't drive too far before I noticed. And EXCUSE ME. What the hell does race have to do with this???? IDC what race you are, it's creepy to approach a woman at midnight at a gas station when it's just the TWO of you.

The audacity.
