I was watching PBS (Public Broadcast Station in the US, which is free TV you can watch via antenna) and a show about yoga came on. The host was a woman and others in the background were all women.

The theme was yoga for intimacy and it was framed as something good to do for your husband as you age and stop feeling as sexual. 🤮

One of the ladies in the back of the room came forward to the host and she was older, probably late 60s or early 70s. She said she was interested in the yoga because at night she enjoys playing scrabble on her iPad but her husband would rather her have sex with him instead of playing scrabble. I immediately felt so sad for her.

I found the framing of everything so weird, like you need to put in the effort of doing yoga to please someone else, not because you have your own sexuality. I was disappointed in it because typically PBS shows are either neutral or left-leaning.

Anyway that's my rant and disappointment for today. 😞

Hi all, looking to do my first "decent" speaker setup for my PC

I just received Edifier MR3 speakers and also have access to Dayton Audio SUB-1000 10" Powered Subwoofer and SMSL PS200PRO ES9039Q2M HiFi DAC

Please ELI5 on the best setup I can achieve with these or if I need to buy anything else ~$200

Hopefully this is appropriate and within the scope of the subreddit. As I'm closing in on 200 lbs lost and reaching my goal I've had a lot on my mind, a mix of celebration and mourning.

I'm almost 41 years old and have been obese, morbidly obese, for most of my life, from childhood. I've had depression and anxiety from childhood as well, and a major contributor to that was my obesity and how I was mistreated by others for it.

I've spent my entire adult life losing weight and lost my first 100 lbs in my 20s. I gained it back and then some while in an abusive relationship where I stayed way too long because of poor self esteem. I've done it all, low carb, plant based, Mediterranean, fasting, keto, shakes, powders, and on and on. Lose, gain, lose, gain.

I'm now the lowest weight I've been since childhood, a healthy bmi, and I can't help but think about how different my life could've been without the struggle of obesity and self-hatred. It feels so complicated.

Is anyone else going through this?
