34yr old male here and currently sitting in an urgent care while I wait for an ambulance. Fun.

Woke up today with chest and shoulder pain. Dull pain. Shrugged it off and went about my day. Hours pass and my wife and I are laying in bed and I start feeling the pain again. This time I feel like my arm is going numb which freaked me out so I get up to shake it off and I'm not feeling better. My heart starts racing and I feel a bit dizzy.

I tell my wife I think I need to go see a doctor so we head to the closest urgent care. They take my blood, an ekg, x ray, and my heart is fine. What's not fine is I'm sitting at 7 hemoglobin when I should be at 14.

Idk how long I've been anemic. I've been cutting and working out 6 days a week for the past month. Before that I was going 3 days a week. I've never really felt weird before today. But I guess we'll see what happens and what might be the cause.

Fun. Fun times.

I’ve noticed that this subreddit has become largely unmoderated, and over time the quality of discussion has started to decline. There are still plenty of helpful people here, but it’s become harder to find good advice among the repetitive and low-effort posts.

Because of that, I created r/SkinnyFatSupport as an alternative for anyone interested in a more actively moderated community focused on evidence-based fitness advice and higher-quality discussion.

The goal isn’t to replace this subreddit or compete with it. I simply wanted to build a place where discussions stay on topic and beginners can get reliable guidance in an actively moderated subreddit to combat the issues that have developed here.

Some of the things you’ll find there:

• Active moderation
• Evidence-based training and nutrition advice
• Beginner-friendly resources and FAQs (in progress)
• Fewer repetitive posts (such as body-fat percentage guess requests)
• A focus on helping people make long-term progress

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, you’re welcome to join. The community is new, so feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.

Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

That mnemonic has stuck with me my whole life. I'll be 254 and going by Edward and I'll still have that locked into my memory.

Share your mnemonics that have stuck with you for decades. I might learn something today.

So I'm basically stupid and went to SANS and earned 3 GIAC certificates hoping for a job at the end of the rainbow.

Obviously didn't happen and it's been awhile so I pretty much forgot everything I passed the tests on.

I'm not passionate about this stuff but it's something I think I can do for a career. Just need help getting started. I come from customer service and warehouse jobs so I have absolutely ZERO experience

Go to any subreddit about whatever or watch some clip about blah and you'll find so many people raving about things like how they love the movie's soundtrack or some one talking about their favorite anime intro song. It's as if no one just enjoys things casually. Everyone is SUPER into whatever they're talking about.

Now you're reading this and thinking, "duh. Of course they're super passionate about it. Theyre literally on a subreddit about that thing." Fair enough. But I think that hides the ratio and could mislead people into thinking this is how most people are. And imo, I think most of us enjoy things casually. I can watch movies, shows, or any activity and not become a super fan who is out there adding flair to my personality because I watch One Punch Man.

I've never related to people who are into music. Who can speak at length about their favorite genre, band, song, etc. I'm not someone who listens to music often. If I'm in the car I just play TikTok videos. When I'm at the gym I'll put on YouTube videos.

That said I do have a stereo system with a vinyl record player and cassette player. Have quite a few records actually. But it's mainly because I think records and cassettes are cool. It's not like I never have an urge to listen to music. I just...consume it like I would a hamburger. I'll enjoy it and then once it's gone I'm not thinking about it until the next time I get hungry.

Background: jailbroke my ps4 yesterday with the help from the YouTuber Mario. My knowledge stops there.

What I learned: apparently a lot of the packages Mario had me download I don't need.

What you do: Mario had us download this ps4 explorer (apparently you can just straight up use gold hen) and all you do is put your game package on your external usb hard drive, plug it into your ps4, open the explorer, and select it from the directory (it's under mnt, I think, and then you select one of the usb directories. Then what you do after that is click it, and install the package. You're done.

What I saw on here: a bunch of posts complicating the FUCK out of this process.

I see this happen all the time. Be yourself, but actually don't because you're weird.

Prime example is what I saw happen on the nba subreddit today. Comments were popping up celebrating KAT because he's often mocked online for the way he talks and expresses himself . Another user chimed in saying he relates because the way he expresses himself gets flamed all the time. He described what he does. When posting weight loss photos he'd draw over his underwear and make Superman briefs out of them so his dick print isn't noticeable.

Those same people in that thread boasting KAT up then proceeded to flame him. They were saying it's not the same when the point was that here's something this individual does to express himself, and he gets criticized and hate for it.

It's really my fault for talking to people and writing things in a way that assumes they can comprehend what is being said.

I always give people on Reddit or wherever the benefit of the doubt. Reddit is full of big brains right? Wrong. No better than TikTok comments. Only difference is they'll try to dress up their comment with an excess of words.

What's even better 😃 is that the number of people who can't comprehend is so high that the bullshit always rises to the top. Poor comprehension leads to one assumption and that leads to another and so on and so forth. Before you know it you're at -10 and the stupidest fucking comment you've ever seen is rising.

So I left a three star review for the gym I go to on Google. Wasn't that bad. Complained that the bathrooms are disgusting. Moldy and smell like pee. Included pics. The owner goes on a rant in the response so I updated to a 1 star review and responded...to their response.

Well, their weird response annoyed me so I went to help to leave a review too. I didn't have a yelp account so I chose the quick apple sign up/login. This is where I screwed up. I forgot to change my profile name. So after I leave the review I noticed what happened almost immediately and changed the profile name and deleted the review for good measure. This took at most 15 minutes.

Well, apparently within that time frame. The gym owners saw it or help sent them a notification with the old profile name.

Hours later I get a text from the gym owner about how someone with my name left a negative review and they checked their memberships and I'm the only one with that name.

I KNEW this would happen which was I made sure to have a nickname on google. My mistake was thinking apple login would NOT use my actual name to sign up with.

Now idk what to do. I'm going to ignore the text because that shit is just weird. But I'm pretty damn sure the owners can find out when I use the fob to enter the gym and they might watch me on the cameras to see who I am. I go to the gym at 1-2am so I'm unlikely to meet them but I don't but it past them now to randomly show up that early and start probing me about the fucking review. Smh. I've been going to this gym for 4 years lol and it's the only 24 hr by me. I think. I might have to look harder now

My wife's other provider is closing up and this one popped up on Reddit when searching. No discussion of it though.

Looks like they opened up last year and do third party testing
