Join with Asthma? 24M

Asthmatics of my level (its a spectrum and different for any patients) require a daily maintenance inhaler, which makes your lungs essentially function like a normal humans.
The only drawback is, it’s temporary. The infamous rescue inhaler that most people think us asthmatics just carry around all the time is only used as a back up if for some reason we haven’t had access to our regular maintenance inhaler.

Joining the military was my biggest dream as a teenager. I was absolutely crushed I was unable to join and I’ve had a very chaotic and unstructured life since.
The reason I didn’t lie and join anyway was because patients are known to grow out of asthma and I didn’t want a medical discharge on my record because I believed if there was a 1% chance that my asthma could go away I’d rather wait for that so I don’t get permanently locked out.

Well… it hasn’t. Still there. If I am active daily with cardio I can push myself very far without needing inhaler but it has to be every day of cardiovascular activity.
I’ve done marathons and tri’s, and all kinds of Spartan races etc. Fitness isn’t a question. Motivation isn’t a question.

Now at the time I was looking, you could easily lie about medical conditions you had to get in. Is that still the case? I’ve heard they now actually pull private medical records?

I work in a first responder field right now and the most solid and squared away people, the ones that I always struggle to keep up with, all have prior military experience. I know why. I have ADHD and life has sucked since I graduated HS and I’ve had almost no grounded structure except for this past year.

I’m seriously looking at giving this a shot. I’ll take any pointers, advice, knowledge regarding boot camp, etc. If any asthmatics want to chip in please let me know.

Help me find another chestpiece

Trying to go for a "slick assassin" look. I don't want a cape and nothing too bulky.

Current tops:

- Outlander Maverick's Breastplate. too much brown that doesn't dye for some reason. The chestplate also is kind of wide

- Blade Tyrant's chestguard. I love this one the absolute most. Its not to big, no cloak, and with the dyes I think it fits very well with the Freelance Hunter's Greaves. However, there are 2 bright red rectangles that didn't dye (like damn wtf's even the point of getting dyes) and it ruins the whole look for me

- Suppression Trooper Chestpiece. Honestly bought the chestpiece just for this fit but there isn't a single dye on the market that I want. They're all too contrasting with each other and my biggest gripe are those shoulder stripes. If it didnt have those shoulder stripes I wouldn't be bothered by it at all.

If there are any dyes or other chestpieces that fit the look I want please let me know. I essentially want armors with similar shapes but the coloring flows better. Also if anyone wants to sell me a dark color (only blue or gray... maybe purple)x black dye I'll buy.

Is this a Mesh Tear

Idk if we can post photos but I got a small bulge where my hernia was on my left aide. I was moving a lot starting 6 days after recovery and its been 2.5 weeks I started going back to work which included LOTS of movement. I’ve been twisting, turning, getting up and down a lot, walking up and down flights of stairs, carrying my backpack with a laptop, water, and lunch, etc.
I’ve been getting fatigued and exhausted lately as well as experiencing discomfort and now I’m scared my mesh has torn. But I have no way of knowing.

Doc says Bulge on Ballsack not a Hernia?

When I have sexual activity I get a lot of pressure and pain above my right testicle. My hernia surgeon did a physical exam, CT contrast scan, and 2 ultrasounds. No hernia on the right side was detected. My surgeon told me he had no idea what that was and sent me to the urologist. Urologist told me there was nothing.

I did the bilateral inguinal hernia surgery (there was a hernia on my left side but he cleared both sides anyway) 10 days ago and have followed all instructions I was given for recovery. The bulge is still prominent. I have a video also if anyone with a medical profession wants to DM me I’d LOVE to find out wtf this is.

Jedi Ending becomes General

I saw the Jedi Knight dark side ending where you can be chastised by Satele Shan and immediately the military admiral next to her just gives you the rank of general.

I wanna role play that my Jedi left the order and joined the military. (Funny enough I had his backstory as him joining the military before they discovered he was force sensitive then moved him to Tython).

What’s a good outfit for formal command or dress wear? (For crying out loud do NOT recommend me Jedi battle armor like the Stormguard set).
I really like the Alderaanian Battler Jacket but want to explore more options.

Preferably no hoods

Republic Officer gear?

There’s TONS of Imperial Officer gear (Elite Tactician, etc.) and damn they’re selling a whole bundle on the market right now.

What gear would be closest to a military dress uniform I can get for my Republic Trooper?

Best way to credit farm/ how can I get cartel market items

Damn all I want is the gnarls manka cat mount but its 5 mil on GTN and I only got ~300k in my legacy bank.
I saw something online that said to buy and sell crafting materials but I know nothing about crafting.

Also I see a shit ton of cartel items on the GTN but they aren’t on the cartel market. Is that whole market limited time only? For how long? Is there another way to get cartel market items without credits?

Dudes with Girlfriends: how are you addicted?

I’m a 24m virgin who’s barely touched women throughout my life. Made out with this chick almost 2 months ago and that jumpstarted me into several 2 week streaks and EASILY disregarding my horny temptations while beforehand I couldn’t last more than 3 days.

This happens every-time I get close to a girl. I go 14-20 (sometimes 30) days w/out looking (or even jerking off for that matter) and its as easy as riding a boat instead of the normal swim in upstream.

I’m just wondering how dudes with access to sex even get tempted by porn and a hard hand rather than your partner.
I have ED issues and when I get a gf I plan to easily wait out the 3 months required to reset your system before engaging in sex but damn am I just hoping for something unrealistic? Am I gonna relapse halfway in?
I’ve never gone more than a month on my own and today marks the longest I’ve gone since January of this year (before that it was like July 2024). I always thought only single dudes suffered from this but I keep seeing posts with guys who have gfs or wives that struggle.

Just deleted my saved 🌽

So this year I’ve been on two 20 day streaks. The first was during a LONG work trip and I used the change in environment to boost my streak (Atomic Habits goes into this).
The second was after a date with a girl I met via Hinge in June and we made out quite a bit. I straight up didn’t have the desire for two weeks but it slowly came back after a bit.

Since then the frequency has decreased. Instead of every day, its decreased to maybe I do it for several days straight followed by a week or two of NoFap. I know the last time I did it was sometime this month but I have no idea the exact number of days I’ve been clean but I think its been two weeks.

Anyway, I think God has touched me a little. I was driving the other day, saw a beautiful women and started moving close to the boundary of thinking some dirty thoughts when all of the sudden I started screaming at myself: WE DON’T FUCKING DO THAT ANYMORE!! STOP IT BRAIN!! WE DON’T DO THAT!!!

I wrote down the progress and I started almost leaping in joy at how far I’ve come. I went to confession tonight and I decided to just fucking commit and deleted all the videos I had saved in my notes and my other Reddit account where I followed a ton of OF girls and had lots of 🌽 saved. I’m feeling so amazing guys I just wanted to share!!

FUCKING HYPED!!!!

Germany v Poland

Hey everyone! My dad and I will be traveling to Europe in the fall for about 1 week. We will be arriving in Rome, Italy to spend a few days there.

After, we want to either go to Germany or Poland. Which one should we do? Here’s what we want to see

Germany:
- Dachau Concentration Camp
- Neuchwanstein Castle
- what other sites?

Poland:
- Prague Castle
- St. Vitus Cathedral
- Aushwitz

Are there any other cooler spots in Poland or Germany that outshine the other? We’re going to have to pick one over the other.

I’ve never been to Europe and have no idea which country to pick. We really want to experience magnificent architecture and European culture. We’d also like to see a concentration camp but it can be removed if its holding us back in any way.

I also wanted to inquire, are there any cool hiking spots that include castles or ruins? There’s hiking in the U.S. I’m not interested in just woods if we hike in Europe I want it to have a unique European vibe, if there aren’t any we likely won’t go.

Mods Won’t Load

Here is a list of all my mods. I have been playing a particular game for about a week now with these mods loaded in and for some reason I was playing today and decided to reload one of my saves mid play-through and now none of my mods will load.

I have loaded past autosaves where the mods were once active and for some reason they’re not loading there either. I have disabled and re-enabled the mods hundreds of times and I have closed out and reloaded the game hundreds of times in every conceivable order. Why will these mods refuse to load on the exact same save file they’ve been active on for hundreds of hours?
