Someone change this thread's title to "HandsomeGAF".

Either that or PhotogenicGAF.

I've been avoiding some readings I had to do for my Law Philosophy course because reasons and here I am, doing them all now

I'll read through the 2890401483048 pages in this Thread to entertain myself during breaks.
that means everytime. All times.

That, and actual... weird feeling-ness. Wasn't my best day today.

But hey, I've actually read this. I just have to memorize quite a deal of it.

I'm assuming you'll be having some sort of exam? Well best of luck! Also as far as reading, it's tricky... sometimes you just don't feel like reading; especially if you have a thick book, with 500+ pages, and a really small font with no pictures or illustrations whatsoever. It's a struggle for me to even read a page when I have classes that require such books. But I've always struggled concentrating when reading any book, I actually need to listen to music when reading to concentrate better. Also, finals are almost here! yay... I:

I know there's some of you that are trying to shed a few pounds, so I'll recommend L-Carnitine. It's a supplement that makes your body use fat as energy. It increases body fat usage. I was skeptical try this but it's been wonderful so far. It gives you more energy - well duh, you're using your own far as energy. It's great for those of us that have low metabolisms. If you know a vitamin/supplement store like GNC or Vitamin World, ask them for a sample.

I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, but I'm always cautious about things that change the way your body fundamentally works. I mean, after millions of years of evolution, there's got to be a reason it burns fat the way it does, right?

Yes there are downsides to it. Our own body produces L-Carnitine, some foods also have it. So taking more of it has been known to cause health problems. There's actually a study out there that points this out. I'll try to find it an link it. I only take it three times a week - a tablespoon each. That's three tablespoons a week. Some people take up to three tablespoons a day or more. I would say as long as you don't overdo it, there's not a lot of health risks involved if your diet is healthy and you yourself don't have any medical conditions like asthma etc.

Here's the study about carnitine that I found online in regards to the potential health issues:

“Carnitine is not an essential nutrient; our body naturally produces all we need,” he says. “We need to examine the safety of chronically consuming carnitine supplements as we’ve shown that, under some conditions, it can foster the growth of bacteria that produce TMAO and potentially clog arteries.”

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/abou...-and-compound-found-in-red-meat-energy-drinks

The study was only done with six people, which is a very small sample. They were also given a lot of carnitine, so much that your body would not really use. There's many articles out there that point out the positive effects of taking carnitine for example this:

Several studies have examined the effectiveness of supplemental carnitine in the management of cardiac ischemia (restriction of blood flow to the heart) and peripheral arterial disease (whose most important symptom is poor circulation in the legs, known as intermittent claudication)

In any case, like any other supplement, moderation is key.

Thanks everyone! I feel so weird being 25 and never having a boyfriend :p. I haven't even dated much yet!

Don't feel weird, nothing wrong with being single regardless of how old you are. Some people are much older you and still single! That should make you feel better ;)

Those icons! How did you get them? Did you make them? They look OG!! Nice desktop setup you got there.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I made them. It's a mix of google image searching for high-resolution icons and then photoshopping / illustratoring what I can't. Applying the actual colors is pretty straightforward and it's just a matter of dividing the 360 possible hues by [however many icons make up a particular rainbow] and then color-coding. The only ones I made completely on my own were the Photoshop / Illustrator ones because I thought they'd look better with more unique typefaces, and then the Mixcraft (aquamarine x-looking thing) icon I had to do in vector format.

Oh, my Twitter feed went nuts with this. It looks good AND it's gay as heck. I've been meaning to watch it for quite some time, but I'm lazy. BTW, I started to watch Sakamichi no Apollon again and the two boys are just meant to each other

Yeah I had no info about the show. Am pleasantly surprised. It helps that one of the guys is a hunky police officer. I have a thing for police uniforms.

Also I've been meaning to watch Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon).

Smoking 4 racks of babyback ribs, and will have about 8 pounds of chicken in the slow cooker uh... slow cooking. I'm hosting Thanksgiving for lots of single coworkers. There will be tons of delicious food, and probably a lot of Smash/Mario Kart being played.

KremlinChaos, it's nice to finally see what you look like. You're so cute! Happy birthday and all the best.

As for not having a boyfriend at your age, don't worry about that. I was almost 27 when that happened, so there's still hope :D There's always hope.

I think it looks great, but try to just keep it at that length and let it grow on the rest of your face, any longer would not look as good.

@KremlinChaos you are so cute, it is weird that you haven't had a boyfriend so far but it is okay, no need to rush it. And happy belated birthday, I hope you had a great day.

Man, my Animal Crossing villagers really want me to crossdress. Lots of gifts of skirts and dresses (one attached to a letter saying to "try something new"), and now a letter from Zell:

"This accessory will bring out a new, even more charming side of you... That's the feeling I get, anyway! It's the perfect disguise for when you want to sneak out at night..."

Attached: a Matronly Bun, a.k.a. grandmother hair. I need to have a talk with Zell. His fetishes are getting out of control.

So, this British guy started to talk to me through Hornet. At first I just thought he was hitting on me in a "one and done" sort of way. He complimented me and then I made some snide comment and surprisingly he made one in return. I don't think you guys understand, I have tried this with like 20 different guys and literally always reply with "nice." Despite so many profiles demanding their partners to be witty, my humor never wins anyone over. This was a rare moment for me.

Anyway, we ended up having back and forth banter for like 3 hours. It never really felt like he was objectifying me, even if he asked for pictures. Always polite about it, making sure he never overstepped his boundaries. It was weird how we connected on multiple levels. But he lives like 3000 miles away why did he even start talking to me. Kind of hating him right now for starting this.

P.S. He is super cute. Like upper echelon cute.

That sounds tough... Someone you really like and potential bf material thousands (3) of miles away. Online dating isn't east, your success rate is fairly normal actually (1 in 10, approximately).
