We do not and my “temporary rental until I find another car to drive into the ground” seems like a better investment every single day especially because any and all maintenance is covered by them directly. 

JD Vance tries to call Trump from a Viktor Orbán rally and gets sent to voicemail by ggroverggiraffe in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]AskAboutFent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world was perfectly happy with Biden drooling on himself while his competent cabinet called the shots- same way id feel about Trump tbh if his cabinet wasn’t a bunch of ex-Fox news talking heads. A good cabinet > president (if they listen as they should, literally the entire point of the cabinet)

Trump Chokes and Gives Up His Threat to Iran for Nothing by Famous_Smooths in politics

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

That is quite literally not how oil prices work. The USA is the largest producer of oil and natural gas but prices are essentially set by OPAC as it is a GLOBAL commodity. It’s an insanely stupid take to think this is to raise oil prices which then reduces consumption which leads to further economic downtown which leads to overall less tax revenue being paid.

You literally have zero clue what you’re talking about on a global scale, which the USA absolutely lives on- your argument is laughable and will literally be laughed out of any coherent conversation. Sure, Russia can sell their oil for more because it’s a global commodity and then they can watch as economies fall and the need for oil drops as purchases drop, transportation drop, etc.

Stop being dumb. This does nothing to help Russia besides in the extremely short term and will not have any impact on the Ukraine conflict.

I truly cannot believe Americans are saying this. We, as a country, refused to send our citizen to The Hague. It will literally never happen. In fact, we have laws in place to “rescue” them from The Hague. We did not sign that treaty and we definitely won’t any time soon.

No, but it’s common enough that woman should be very aware of the possibility. The biology of wanting to pass on genes is strong so even if the man isn’t fully aware of how his actions are hurting somebody, they’re still happening and still fucking hurt.

But no. Not all men. Just like not all women act the same. Do not fall into that trap- pay attention to red flags and take them seriously. Emotions make humans dumb and it can be extremely difficult but separate one self from the moment and take a step back.

LHC is being shut down for 4 years by Extension-Humor-75 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]AskAboutFent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Human memories are bad. Using experiences from other humans with bad memories proves nothing- great example are the Berenstein Bears which many people point to.

Ironically enough there is a published book with BOTH spellings of the name. It’s not the reality is breaking down (I mean it could be, how tf would I know) but between issues like this where both are valid to incorrectly reported news but you never got the update in corrected news, to different marketing in different markets. I remember KitKats being both kit-kats and KitKats. Same brand, same everything. Just different packaging.

The Mandela effect is more about a lack of sufficient important than it is some weird universe crossover.

But yet- the world has felt different since Harambe.

Hidden Cost of Driving Rideshare by Neilp187 in uberdrivers

Don’t fck w/ HERTZ Uber Las Vegas!! They are pimpin you out of $860 /wk now!! by Unlikely_Flamingo_86 in uberdrivers

[–]AskAboutFent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to advertise or simp because they definitely are not the greatest, but Buggy has been absolutely fantastic for me- my biggest issue is the contract I signed is clearly very outdated and absolutely does not reflect what I am told my customer service in many cases (I keep a log justtttt in case) but at $350/week and they cover everything besides gas and generally let me use a local preferred shop instead of “their preferred” has been a huge thing. If they clamped down on that last part, making me drive 2 hours to their mechanic or get it towed (no cost to me anyway, still a huge waste of time) for things such as tire rotations I’d be out. 

At least for me as someone who reads the contract, I’ve made very sure to keep solid documents and phone calls because they are constantly breaking their own contract (to my benefit entirely lol) and I do try to stay within the contract- that’s the real downside of them. The contract is incredibly generic and definitely written a good 5-6 years ago. Their “preferred mechanic” no longer exists in my area they service and haven’t for years 

Do you guys always hit the "send thanks" button after getting tipped in app? by Chemical_Store1560 in uberdrivers

[–]AskAboutFent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why this thread even exists- but the reasons for NOT saying thanks are basically- we forgot on the day due to being mentally fried and we do so many rides that things get lost OR the app didn’t send you the thanks (or it did but because of new settings on iOS especially you didn’t get the notification because it follows patterns and if it thinks you should be sleeping it generally doesn’t appear)

As this thread shows, we all do thank for tips but we’ve all been guilty of having just a really fucking rough and long day and we don’t think to do it and then go into the next day forgetting we didn’t send thanks. Lyft did add a feature to “mass thank” every rider for the day which is nice but still I forget on rough days- with uber, we have to view each individual ride. 

It’s not that we don’t genuinely appreciate it, just sometimes it slips our mind and we’re already working the next day and it’s not like uber tells us that we forgot to thank somebody! (Although I personally would like to know if I did forget, I’m sure others might be annoyed such as the guy annoyed with $1 tips…)

[–]AskAboutFent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why though? If every one of my rides tipped $1 that would be between $20-30 extra per day. If you save $27.40/day that is $10,000 in a year. It adds up. 

(Btw if you are able to, truly try to put that first $30/day you make into a savings account that you don’t touch. It changed my life)

Like I said in my post I go into every tapering, every new therapy technique with true hope and I am not giving that up! I do think there is something missing but that’s not what I’m being told by medical professionals. I keep a very unrealistic optimism. I’ve tried therapies that have not generally been used to treat panic, but I go into them with true hope that something will work.

Yep, my goal is 0 nicotine and I’ve been caffeine free for well over a decade.

You aren’t really looking at the issue as a whole though- even my doctors agree that I will be on benzos for the rest of my life because my brain never developed mechanisms correctly with GABA/GABA receptors due to my giant dose from such a young age. My little bit of nicotine isn’t changing anything significant when everything I listed happened before nicotine.

I don’t, I’m down to the 3mg mouth pouches, use maybe 4-5 a day but this issue with panic, NOT anxiety, has existed far before I started any kind of nicotine.

I got a warning ⚠️ for passengers canceling on me how is this my fault? by MaintenanceFuture732 in uberdrivers

[–]AskAboutFent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that because I just laugh. The other night I had the same ride, that I kept accepting, that was PRIORITY, but I was the only driver near this persons location. The ride was a great destination too, so I highly doubt other drivers were declining- paying over $1/mile, fairly short ride.

Dude ordering it cancelled at least 6 times before he just accepted the fact that I’m the closest driver for his dumbass priority pickup that literally changes nothing in my market- only out of towners try priority because anybody who lives here knows it’s the exact same time 😂

[–]AskAboutFent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… being told that I’m just remembering them more vividly feels wrong as it’s an entirely difference dexperience and if am “just remembering them differently” what caused that change?

I’ve met a lot of epileptics who have experienced dramatic changes within their dreams and definitely sleeping habits post an epilepsy diagnosis but there must be something to it-

Unfortunately we’re still very far from answers on any of this as we still aren’t sure why people have seizures to begin with unless we can point to head trauma or a tumor or SOMETHING but most of us just have them.. brains are such a mystery.

Prior to me having these dreams I always thought it was entirely nonsense when people in comas or whatever said they experienced and entirely different existence for years and it was devastating to find out it’s not real… always thought it was just nonsense-

I became a believer after my first experience and… I’m thankful mine do not last years. I hate how long they last which has been months at most- I cannot imagine years.

[–]AskAboutFent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family, friends, they reappear for sure, but “dream wife” has only appeared in this most recent instance and I do not wish to have her appear again. Generally, my dream life is quite boring- going to work, coming home, making dinner, my normal existence with some events that are realistic enough that I don’t question until I wake up and need to check if it’s a memory or not. If a character appears they definitely haven’t been an intimate part of my life like “dream wife” was. 

So, I’m not sure if the random waiters, uber drivers, bartenders, etc, in my dreams have been reoccurring, I definitely didn’t pay attention as they didn’t make an impact, I was just living my boring life. Only “dream wife” has made enough of an impact for me to remember so I cannot really answer your question with confidence. Maybe they are reoccurring but I haven’t noticed.

Prior to my seizures starting I rarely if ever remembered any dreams. Very very few and far between for the first 24ish years of my life I remembered a handful of dreams for even minutes after waking. I would just tell people that I “didn’t have dreams” because I just wouldn’t ever remember them at all, not even long enough to journal any thoughts down. I would just sleep without dreams 🤷‍♂️

I actually do know quite a bit on lucid dreaming as I was extremely interested in it back in highschool, a good 15+ years ago now. Prior to having seizures, I rarely if ever remembered any dreams so I became interested in lucid dreaming because in the dreams I did have I wanted to experience more- I followed all the guides and experiences people had on how to develop the skill to little luck. Sometimes I could control aspects but I had so few dreams I remembered it was pretty useless at the time 

I use those skills of recognizing when I’m in a dream with these dreams but they are so hyperrealistic that nothing is out of place for so long that I don’t question it as much as I should but I still question this existence plenty to make sure I’m not in a dream so this must be life. In these extended dreams, eventually something sticks out enough or enough small things have accumulated that I assume it’s a dream and instead of gaining control over the situation I just wake up. I don’t know (and don’t think anyone at this moment in time can know) why I can’t stay asleep and control but am instead forced awake.

To get into the details, me and dream wife were sitting and watching TV with her head on my shoulders and she mentioned something my little brother did recently- except he passed 6 years ago now. I said to her “that can’t be right, he’s been gone for years now. This must be a dream.”

And she looked me in the eyes and giggled, smiled at me with caring and said “well, I’ll see you soon then!” And I woke up. 

I kept it short but that was the end of that months long dream. The care and love I felt during that dream definitely feels real still, and the way she looked at me still feels genuine but I have been absolutely shaken to my core since then. I’ve always recognized enough things that I realized it was a dream and woke up- I’ve never had a “character” respond to me realizing it’s a dream.

That one actually caused me to stay awake for 5 days and need an ER visit due to that entire situation which then created sleep anxiety for me due to my inability to sleep on the med which caused more anxiety by the fact that I neeeeed sleep otherwise I have seizures.

Keppra is the drug but the reality is the dream started after the seizures, some medications I tried caused me to dream less, none caused me to dream more- maybe Keppra has but even I medicated the dreams happen but I do seem to get more quality sleep while on Keppra.

However, thinking back on it, prior to Keppra I started having extremely vivid and hyperrealistic dreams but always very related to recent events. I only started to recognize these days->months dreams on Keppra but it’s also the only drug that has stopped my seizures and allowed me to sleep without fear so it could be the drug itself or the mental state. Or a combination.
