Reply to LPT: If you want to compliment someone for losing weight, try not to fixate on how big they used to be by Dyert

Someone told me at work I had lost weight and "looked good". The problem: I was not overweight before. I had severe appetite loss from meds and so got too thin. Im struggling to work on it and eat enough. I cant really fit into pants and mostly wear leggings. The comment fucked me up a while.

Basically,you dont know what health issues people might have. Its better just to not comment on people's bodies. If you want to just say they look good and leave it at that.

I used my email during high school when I didnt have my own laptop so I fear that my email still is in their old computers they probably dont know the password tho

Fun times lol glad my email has survived this long

Regular password changes are actually recommended against by most major cybersecurity and governmental security organisations. But that usually pertains to *enforced* password changes (e.g. every 60 days, etc.).

If your password was secure last month, it should still be uncrackable this month, and for every month going forward.

Reply to LPT Request: Anyone have any advice for dealing with lower back pain? by apeprom123

I have a lot of lower back issues. They're different for everyone but I have a few things I do really consistently.

Yoga & low/no weight back exercises Icing multiple times a day (heat causes inflammation so even if it feels good it usually feels worse after) Seeing a chiro regularly to get adjusted, ultrasounded, and electrostim

Edit I totally forgot someone else said standing desk, that's key & one other thing, get a good chair for sitting. Something that really supports your back.
