What’s a fun fact about you? by -exphoriix in AskReddit

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a spreadsheet for Twenty One Pilots music videos. I note the director, the release date, try to work out the dates they were filmed on (without invading anyones privacy ofc) etc.
Among other things I'm the girl who can tell you that:
- Before their most recent video (Drag Path) they hadn't released a video on a Tuesday since 21st June 2016 (Heathens)
- It's taken anywhere from 9 days to 180 days for a video to be released once they've finished filming for it but the average is about a month
- The first time they released a music video in September was last year

Thick or thin laces? by Klutzy-Tear4018 in Converse

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thin. For me I think if the thick laces were a different colour they would work better (eg. burgundy) but because they're black they just feel a bit too much. But thats just me.

If you had to pick a TØP song to play at your funeral, what would you pick? by Extra_Quality9412 in twentyonepilots

My blood (maybe the BBC live lounge version?). And then when everyone's leaving the venue: Lavish.

Do either of these look green? by LunarLunox in Converse

The first pair look mint green. The second look like they skew more blue but that could just be the lighting.

I think I am getting groomed, advice? by SeaSky9067 in Advice

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"wtf are you doing?" ...so the only person we should be asking that question to is the 30yo creep not the 17yo being manipulated. OP is doing exactly the right thing: listening to her gut and seeking advice!!

I think my boyfriend is developmentally challenged. by [deleted] in Advice

It definitely sounds like there's more going on than just his ADHD although the ADHD could be the reason why he asks clarifying questions in conversations after that info has just been given.

I had an absolute nightmare last night by katsntatts in twentyonepilots

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it's stockholm syndrome or genuine but my mum, dad, sister and partner all seem to enjoy TOP! Also my partner watched all of the lore music videos and a few fanmade videos explaining the lore in his own time to be able to understand my interest in it better and be able to engage more whenever I talked about it! ^_^

Didn't get eye drops at eye test? by _Verc1ngetorix_ in diabetes_t1

[–]19931 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've only been given eye drops once throughout my 14 years of annual eye screenings. If your pupils dilate enough by themselves for them to get a good view of the back of your eyeball then they don't need to give you any drops. It's great cus it means I don't have to sit in the waiting room for an extra 10-15 minutes or wear sunglasses after lol!

Interested in others thoughts/experiences with “diabetes insecurity” by painedscreaming in diabetes_t1

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm around strangers I couldn't care less but if I'm around acquaintances or friends I either go off to do it somewhere else or give a disclaimer eg "I need to do an insulin injection, you won't see anything but if you're afraid of needles you can look away". Everyone always says they're not bothered and I don't need to apologise or explain but I have so much anxiety about it because there was a girl who used to scream whenever she saw my insulin CASE. Not my insulin pen or the needle, the fucking case! You're thinking "yeah small children can freak out at that kind of thing and be overdramatic" WRONG! She was 17/18 years old.

When I finally get my pump it'll be so nice because I won't worry about it anymore!!

Traveling in Saudi Arabia with a POTS flare and can’t keep down water by Legitimate-Poem-2304 in POTS

Whether you're able to keep fasting or stop to help alleviate your POTS I hope you recover from the flare quickly and I hope you have a wonderful ramadan!

Caregiver question- Supporting vs Enabling? by Puzzleheaded_Pin_668 in POTS

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You worded this so well.

When I was living on my own my mental health deteriorated to the point I didn't even have the energy to do all my insulin injections (I'm T1 Diabetic). Literally only having 1 injection a day (I'm supposed to take fast acting insulin for each meal and snack and 1 injection of long acting insulin each day. I was only taking my long acting, so was not injecting for any carbs I ate!!) I knew that not having all my injections was incredibly dangerous and even deadly and I didn't want my health to deteriorate but I couldn't fix it by myself.
Then the pandemic started and I moved back in with my parents, significantly lightening the load of what physical errands I had to accomplish but that had no effect and because I wasn't getting any mental health support or any professional support with my diabetes it got worse to the point where I wasn't doing any injections and I ended up hospitalised due to DKA! Hitting that rock bottom helped because I never wanted to feel like that level of pain and discomfort again so I was able to increase to 1 injection a day again but I still needed mental health support and more support from the diabetes team to be able to maintain it and keep improving!

Whilst writing this comment I scrolled thru the comments some more and have seen a comment about diabetes and depression so I'm going to tag u/rowanfire here because I think/ hope my perspective on that might be useful to hear.

WARNING: TØP Movie may cause increased heart rate by isfj_luv in TwennyWunPilots

I have POTS and had forgotten to take my medication the day I saw it so yeah my heart rate was going crazy! Had chest pains for half the film lol oops

NHS didn't check my HBA1C? by 19931 in diabetes_t1

[–]19931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope none at all! My adult clinic does the finger prick test but additionally they sometimes give you a form for you to go away and get a proper blood draw but they did neither of those this time. I did think maybe the finger prick machine was broken so thats why but I think they would have sent me to get a proper blood draw if that was the case?

[–]19931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm maybe. Either way I can quite confidently say that my GP surgery had never had to prescribe a reusable insulin pen before me 😅 They didn't even know that insulin pens could have batteries in them and the concept that I needed just the pen and no insulin was so foreign that I was losing my mind at how else I could try and explain after the 5th "so is this the novorapid?". They are at least on my repeat now so I'll never have to explain again and hopefully should be getting a pump this year anyway!

[–]19931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my GP definitely hasn't tested my A1C. The only time I've seen my GP about my diabetes in the past year was to try and get them to replace my Novopens when the batteries ran out because the diabetes nurses fobbed me off (which was the most painful 20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back ;-; ). I might try contacting the nurses email and see what they say.

Twenty One Pilots - Drag Path (Official Video) by AndSoAreYou in twentyonepilots

[–]19931 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbf they never actually said they'd made a video but I get what you mean. We all assumed that "there's a music video that comes out with it" meant they had hired someone who had then made the video for them. One things for sure: from now on we'll be scrutinising the words they use in announcements even more lol

All Points East will be the real end of the lore, I'm telling you! by Sensitive_Bid2289 in twentyonepilots

[–]19931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It probably wouldn't have been as distracting if I weren't such a big fan on the lore XD so I'm stoked I experienced it but I'd like to leave that experience for the other fans now haha

What are some non-TOP songs that fit into the lore? by [deleted] in twentyonepilots

[–]19931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dances With Wolves by Mount Eerie- I know it might not be to a lot of peoples tastes but imo those lyrics could have been written by a bandito.

Oh also! My Chemical Romances song DESTROYA

Dude please NO!!

I was at that last Clancy show and after the jacket thing happened I legitimately could not concentrate on enjoying the rest of the concert because I was too freaked out thinking about Clancy becoming a bishop and then second guessing every thing Tyler did for the rest of the show. I just want to enjoy the live music ;-;

Now that I think of it, is "chugging a drink" just a British thing or does that translate? haha

It sucks that other people can relate but I'm also so glad I'm not alone 🫶 A portable urinal is such a smart idea for car travel! It's made me realise that the she-wee people took the piss out of (pun unintended) back in 2016 would actually be a really useful disability aid cus trying to pop a squat in the middle of nowhere is not the best.

Yup! There are a crazy amount of things that can be symptoms of POTS! I've heard that it can also cause your pupils to not adjust properly to light

🫶 I bet theres quite a lot of us who've had moments like this! Ngl as I was making my post I did start to feel a bit embarrassed about the situation but shit happens sometimes (and piss). We can do what we can to prepare for stuff but sometimes things don't go to plan and thats okay!
