Memento Mori Tattoo Idea

Memento Mori Tattoo Idea

I recently came across a video talking about the motto “Memento Mori” meaning “remember you must die”

Essentially, a reminder that no matter what, death will come. So stop worrying and over thinking and just live. I overthink like crazy so I think it’s fitting.

I like this alteration to the hand of Adam painting to represent this, but I want to see what people think about a couple things. Would it be better to replace Adam’s hand or gods hand with the skeleton hand? How would you incorporate the actual moto, “Memento Mori”, into the tattoo without it looking too forced? Is this a decent idea?

MacroFactor App Not Adding Macros/Calories Correctly?

My app says I have eaten/will the following today:

174.4g protein

93.3g fat

327.1g carbs

Which according to my math should come out to 2,845.7 calories but my app is saying those macros work out to 2,681 calories

What am I missing?? This is driving me nuts

Edit: Does it have something to do with my fiber intake?

I don't know anything about computers, please help me pick one

As the title says, I know next to nothing about computers. But I want to buy a PC. It definitely does not need to be anything crazy. I would mainly use it for very general web use (managing our money/finances, researching things, etc.), potentially work (things such as Blue Beam, Procore, etc.) and MAYBE one day the slightest bit of gaming (I will probably just stick to my Xbox). Thanks!

Please help me pick a bike

Looking to buy my first dirt bike, I have some riding experience but have never owned one. I am looking for a bike to ride pretty casually on trails and messing around on my property. Don't need one with a whole bunch of power. I am 6' 4" 210 lb.

As the title says, my lack of friends is starting to weigh on me pretty heavily. I (22M) have always been a pretty shy & socially anxious person which has always led me to never really be outgoing, and I think I may start to feel the impacts of that more and more. Don't get me wrong, I had plenty of friends growing up and throughout high school and community college. Largely thanks to playing sports and a couple long term friends that helped introduce me to others. Then, I moved a couple states away to finish my last couple years of college. I played a sport my first year here at this school which helped a tiny bit, but I didn't make real friends then I decided to not play my senior year, so overall I have felt pretty isolated here, largely my own fault. It's hard to have friends if you don't actively try to make friends I am starting to realize (particularly as you age) and as I said, I have never been good at that. And now I am about to move back home as I am finishing up college.

I have an awesome fiancé, a great family, and I would say 2 very solid friends, all of which I am so grateful for. I think being back by my family will help me feel a little better, but the feeling of lacking friends will still linger especially considering those 2 very solid friends no longer live back home where I will be returning. Naturally, since it's where I am from, there are a handful of other people there I would consider acquaintance type friends but none that I talk to or expect to see when I get there. It's a little depressing hardly getting any texts and close to never from someone outside of the people that I said I am grateful for.

To add on to this all, I am getting married this fall. I asked 4 friends total to be groomsmen, all said yes, but I am not feeling great about 2 of them. I just am worried that we aren't that close of friends and that it might seem weird for me to have them as groomsmen or that they themselves think it's odd. Other than them I have maybe 2 "friends" I plan to invite. Debating on inviting even the acquaintance type friends just to have people there. Hopefully I make a friend or two at the new job I'll be starting but I don't think any people my age even work there. I have a little personal goal of making and inviting a few friends between now and the wedding (~6 months). Not sure how I will do it though.

Kind of dumb, but my fiancé has plenty of friends which in a way makes me feel worse. I am very happy for her and that she is happy, it's just I wish I did too I guess. I never make her feel bad about hanging out with friends or ask her not to or anything. Just wish I had friends to go hang out with too.

For anyone that can relate, what are you doing to change this? Where should I try to make friends? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

As the title says, I am looking for some recommendations as to where to shop for my wedding band. I am undecided on what color/finish I want, but I do know I want a pretty simple one and I'd prefer it not to have some brands name engraved on the inside (I've been seeing that on a few sites). Ideally it would be in the ballpark of $200. I might get a higher quality & more expensive one down the line. Thank you!

As the title says, I am having some regret/anxiety when it comes to who I picked for my groomsmen.

Context: 22M, wedding is this fall (~7 months away), I am admittingly a chronic overthinker

So, I am having 8 total groomsmen. 4 friends, dad, brother, and nephews. The issue I am having is with 2 of the friends that I picked. Let's call them Joe and Bob. The issue essentially is, idk if we are be my groomsmen type of friends. Don't get me wrong, I like them, they like me, and we've known each other for a while (~8 years for Joe and ~4 years for Bob). But the more I've thought about it, we just aren't super close, and I would be surprised if they had me as their groomsmen. We have also all already went on my bachelor trip which further complicates retracting the groomsmen invite. We went on the trip about 4 months ago (I had fun and I think everyone else did too). I haven't hardly talked to Joe since the trip and I don't talk to Bob super consistently either, it's been about a week and a half with him. Joe and I, and a few others, go on an annual trip every year for the past 6 years. So, we are long time pretty good friends, but we just don't stay in touch all the time so I'm having second thoughts.

Honestly, I don't have a bunch of friends at the moment. Well, I have a lot of "friends" in the since that if I ran into them at the store or something, we'd be happy to see each other and say what's up. But not many friends, that I am in regular contact with. This is not counting coworkers, almost all of them are significantly older than me anyways. This is partially due to the fact that I moved away to a different state 2 years ago, made next to no attempts to socialize, and now will actually be moving back home soon. Joe and Bob both live where I am moving back to. So hopefully we hang out often between now and the wedding and that cures these feelings. It's hard in my experience to communicate regularly when you don't naturally see someone and especially when you live a couple thousand miles away. Other than my groomsmen, I might invite a handful of other friends, but we will see how things go and If I decide to invite friends I haven't talked to in a while due to life & moving away and things.

I feel great about the other 2 friends and my family that will be groomsmen. This situation is just causing some anxiety for me. Should I retract the groomsmen invites to them or would that be a bad move?
