The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Just an update/journal/vent. Im 5 days into a 1-week subscription to HingeX, with new photos that are 40lbs lighter, having progressively swiped through every profile in a 1, then 2, then 3, et-cetera-mile radius, until I'm looking at Chicago's entire West side. I try to send comments most of the time. I don't bother liking anyone with their Instagram listed or who's obviously too hot.
Advanced filters: No one with politics listed as "Other", around here that can really only mean Marxist or Hard Leftist, many of the people who list themselves as "Liberal" also have a prompt demanding that anyone who messages them be a Leftist. Already saw a profile that mostly talked about how dreamy Mamdani is, to add to the "Hasan Piker is so dreamy" pile of Things That If I Had Not Seen I Would Hate The World Less.
Absolutely zero interaction. Getting flaked on or stood up won't wind up being a problem, it turns out.
How so? Has the public opinion pendulum swung so hard the other way that you can't say you're leftist in polite conpany?
IIRC Hinge doesn't have a "leftist" option.
