While humorous, the spelling mistakes and grammar drive me crazy.

I am fairly certain the dentist did not say "you be grinding in your sleep".

I understand errors, and thanks to "autocorrect" I make a lot myself on touch screens, but still. I see this kind of stuff everywhere. It is like people celebrate writing and talking like a 5 year old. Cute on a kid, infuriating on an adult.

Lack of capitalisation grates on me.

I got a Facebook ads tip from an Instagram meme page of all places and my cost per purchase halved.

No targeting. I've tried it before and it never worked but there you go, that's whats working now.

Run ads with no targeting.

You need an established business with Facebook pixel data for it to work but yeah test it, even if you've tried it in the past.

Oh I do this all the time! People recoil back in horror when I tell them. But, FB's algo is far cleverer than I am. It works out who's clicking and does its thing. Works brilliantly.

I read that as "lack of Capitalism grates on me". Both are true, both are acceptable.

So I leave for Canada in a few days. It really makes me sad for a multitude of reasons. I have 6 months to make it so that leaving anywhere doesn't generate this feeling, as every time I travel will be for reasons of my own and not due to situations made up by outside entities that go against my will.

180 days... maybe 200. Lets do this!

I've said this before in this thread, but since it recently came up in a self defense video that I was watching...

...NEVER GET INVOLVED IN A DOMESTIC DISPUTE BETWEEN ROMANTIC PARTNERS. EVER!

If you get involved, they will BOTH turn on you, and assuming that you get out of that volcanic situation unscathed, you might have to deal with both of them lying to the police.

I get where you're coming from and why you would want to do that, but don't - you aren't qualified.

Just get away from the situation and call the cops.

Very true, I'd even argue never to get involved in a dispute that is not your concern... A few weeks ago in a local club here, an 18 yo guy was leaving the place in the middle of the night, probably drunk, when he saw a girl crying in the parking lot. He wanted to help and went to talk to her. He got punched from behind, fell head first to the ground and died of intracranial hemorrhage. F*ck...

How many of you wake up in the middle of the night to pee?

I dont but, but do you suffer from this problem sir?
There are possible solutions to this and i know few of them.

 

[MTF]

Every single night, sometimes 2-3 times. If I don't wake up to pee it's a national celebration.

I'm getting all my news from JP from now on. At least it's fun.

Or better yet, don’t get your news from anyone

I had a girlfriend years back that would think it was a good idea to get in between arguing crackhead couples in the middle of the city because she thought it was going to turn into violence against the woman. But they were just crackheads yelling. And then I had to help her get away from both of them.

Thanks Amanda good job.

I would have immediately dumped her over that. Glad that you made it out OK.

Woah. Do you drink beer in the evenings or take creatine/l-glutamine/another amino in the latter part of the day?

When was the last time you had a blood test + urine sample? Check sodium and glucose.

Used to every night but now it's a rare occurrence. Why do you ask?

I don't drink alcohol at all and don't take any of the supplements. I just drink a shit ton of water ever since I remember.

I had a blood test last year, everything was fine.

Fair enough. I can easily see going once per night but 2-3 seems a bit excessive to me... Unless you're drinking a full glass after you go the first time?

Depends but usually I drink maybe half a glass at night. The bigger problem is how much I drink before I go to sleep. But that's often inevitable. For example I'm now stretching for 90 minutes in the evening. You need a lot of water when doing that.

me unfortunately, because of this anti-seizure medicine I am currently taking

Is the stretching making you sweat or is there another explanation for why you need water?

 

[Antifragile]

The older you get, the more you’ll get up to pee at night. And eventually you won’t even get up to pee.

Just the demands of it. No necessarily sweating a lot but it's still pretty demanding to do it for so long.

Maybe you need to have your prostate examined, to check if it is enlarged?

The fact that your credit score drops after six inquiries furthers my opinion that credit scoring is set up to benefit the lending companies. I have great credit but the one negative I have is too many inquiries. I will always shop around on everything.

Didn’t we see how great the system works in 2008?

Hmmm….
