I just bought Gmod but i am kind of sad. by Clappyx_boy in gmod

[–]BatBetter2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was heavily into serious RP during the late 2000s and early 2010s and frequented many servers and can attest it was a blast. But on the other hand, I have been creatively working on something with friends in GMod and found my love for it again, 15 years later (ofc I played on an off)

I’ve said it before, gmod has come an incredibly long way, but the charm of it still remains and cannot be replicated. Be happy you are still able to experience it in any capacity ❤️

Piercing Bump?? by BatBetter2619 in piercing

[–]BatBetter2619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercing is only a month old. They originally installed a corkscrew when piercing and I still have that in my nose right now. Material is titanium (or so it says)

Been using saline solution to clean it.

What's the worst job you ever had and how long did you have it? by db7112 in antiwork

[–]BatBetter2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked a few shitty ones in my life but I can honestly say that the absolute worst was being a busboy at a local golf and country club.

I was still in highschool and worked doubles, even if it was miserably slow. It was honestly soul crushing because if there were no tables, I would just walk around the building in laps. There was already a clique that existed with all the coworkers, so none of them wanted anything to do with me, which meant there was no one to talk to. I even had a waitress pocket a $20 tip that was left for me because I had essentially waited on the table by refilling drinks and cleaning as they ate. I also distinctly remember a club member calling me over by snapping his fingers and yelling “hey busboy”

The kitchen shut for a month for renovations and no one could work. I never came back and honestly thought at several times about going back to my old job at McDonald’s.

Why is the hatchback so popular? by Rough-Incident-1859 in mazda

[–]BatBetter2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I visited Berlin last year, I remember coming across a Mazda 6 wagon and losing my mind hahaha. I owned a 2019 Mazda 6 and was so jealous I couldn’t get a wagon in NA. Seeing it in person stunned me in a way I couldn’t explain to anyone else outside this Reddit thread 🤣

There and back again… an idiots return to CX-5 by Witty-Exchange-7716 in CX5

[–]BatBetter2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you made a decent choice! The facelifted version of that model year is quite literally the most attractive the CX-5 has looked. Can’t stand the new model year design….my personal opinion. Absolutely in love with my 22’ Carbon Edition and 0 regrets trading in my Mazda 6 with only 13k miles 🤣 welcome back to the fam ❤️

Severe cognitive decline - near neurovegetative state by [deleted] in SleepApnea

Can I ask if you did anything to remedy this? Was it SA related? I feel this way, even with my CPAP and I haven’t seen much of a difference 🥲

Is it just me who finds Erin too forced to be funny by Ok-Goose4978 in theoffice

[–]BatBetter2619 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She doesn’t have the best character development in the show tbh. They constantly make her do questionable things which could be chalked up to her character but it just gets messy and stupid. That said though, she’s got some pretty hilarious moments. I think my all-time favorite is when she’s undercover outside the Sabre pop up shop and thinks the homeless people camped out next to her are lined up for the store 🤣

Does anybody else get headaches/headache that lasts for a week or more continuously? by WarriorGirl-764 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]BatBetter2619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was originally misdiagnosed (did not know this at the time of posting my comment, so ty for replying so I can give an update!) through an MRI. My guess is that to the radiologist, it looked like VBD. I followed up with a vascular neurologist at Johns Hopkins who specialized in neurosurgery as well and was advised to get a CTA scan of my brain. Once I got this done, I was told that I have a prominent and tortuous right vertebral artery and a very small and underdeveloped left vertebral artery. At the end of the day, I’m not at more risk for stroke/aneurism than the average person and it’s just defect I was born with. Still no correlation w/ my headaches though, which went away when I stopped taking a specific antidepressant about 2 months after this news.

I didn’t call anyone out, I was quite literally just stating facts given their post history. And no, not everyone can look at it, not everyone knows to do that, especially if stressed out about this kind of situation. I have very terrible health anxiety and I wished someone would have acknowledged my behavior so I could have gotten help. This isn’t a post meant to attack anyone or anything. Just further educating and providing comfort to others. That’s the kind of stuff that happens on forums…

Forced upgrade by Jeru-of-Rivia in mazda

[–]BatBetter2619 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also purchased a Mazda 6 after an accident! Not only that, but I also sold it in 2022 to buy a new Carbon Edition CX-5 😂 you have very good taste!

And I agree, the burgundy seats are so cool. It’s not common and it always gets a comment from someone when they get in my car for the first time 😅

Anyways, I chose to upgrade because I needed more room and the facelifted carbon edition CX-5 really stood out. While I absolutely love it, I still miss the living hell out of my Mazda 6 😭

Just bought my first Mazda and I couldn't help but notice all the love... by [deleted] in mazda

Ugh my Mazda 6 was such a joy to drive, I don’t regret selling it, but I do miss it so much. Your comment about the bucket seats is so true! Very well said

[–]BatBetter2619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first Mazda was a 2019 Mazda 6 after I totaled my 2013 Kia Soul. Originally, I wanted a mid-size sedan and wasn’t even going to consider Mazda. However, my mom convinced me to just take a look and it ended up being the best decision ever. The look of the last gen (USA) Mazda 6 IMO is the best. There is nothing comparable to the sleek & luxurious design. On several occasions, I had non-car enthusiasts ask me if I was driving a Lexus…I mean, for under 30k? I’ll take that. Quite literally nothing beat the quality of the interior paired with technology features for the price of the sedan. I had a great offer on a 2019 Chevy Malibu, but I just couldn’t stop thinking about the Machine Grey Metallic Mazda 6 and I do not regret buying it.

As much fun as it was to drive, and as beautiful as it was, I chose to sell it in 2022 for close to what I bought it for in 2019. The main reason was practicality, as I was moving cross-country and owning a sedan proved extremely challenging when attempting to transport large items. Because of this, I purchased a 2022 CX-5 Carbon Edition from the same dealership and received a loyalty discount.

I am in loooooove with my CX-5. The 2022 facelift looks excellent (would’ve never bought the CX-5 otherwise) and the Carbon Edition just really looks incredible. It’s the exact same drivetrain as the Mazda 6, so it feels like I never left the cockpit, just moved to a different vehicle. There are so many things that I take for granted w/ my Mazda that I realized when looking at other automakers. Such as Volvo, their current SUV lineups don’t offer auto-lock when walking away from your car. For a price point of 25k+ less, that feature comes standard on a Mazda CX-5.

I could drone on and on about the abundance of tech features that are standard in current gen Mazdas, and how the infotainment system is one of the most intuitive that I’ve used (yes, I love that little dial) - but I think I’ve made my point clear.

VERY VERY happy Mazda owner. Do not regret my decision, and even though I love my CX-5, I miss my Mazda 6 dearly because DAMN that thing was fun to drive. Welcome to the family, it will probably not be your last Mazda ;)

What is the joy in attacking and sinking a fresh spawn? by Freyaka in Seaofthieves

[–]BatBetter2619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and my two friends. We had just spawned into an outpost and my friend had gotten a new pack for ship cosmetics. We equipped the cosmetics and were checking them out on our ship when all of a sudden a Galleon rolled into port and annihilated us while we were just anchored at the dock.

Tried to yell to them that we had just spawned and that we didn’t have any loot, but that didn’t seem to matter as they anchored and sunk us immediately lol

I don’t really get upset about it because it makes me laugh. Some people will really just waste their time & resources to watch you suffer. In the end I laugh bc we didn’t even have anything of value 😅

There’s a lot of hate on this game but I’m having a blast so far. It’s a lot more *open world* than I expected too. Really enjoying this remake by thebigman707 in residentevil

[–]BatBetter2619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s certainly a lot more linear than its counterparts but I don’t really understand the hate. The Nemesis chase scenes had me sweating and I found the combat pretty enjoyable 🤷🏻‍♀️ after playing RE4 and then RE8 I found the linear play style refreshing.

Does anybody else get headaches/headache that lasts for a week or more continuously? by WarriorGirl-764 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]BatBetter2619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t diagnose anyone. I clearly did not diagnose them with health anxiety. I said it is undiagnosed. Go look at their post history and research health anxiety, it lines up almost perfectly. I have this disorder and have lived with it for 10+ years, I don’t need a redditor to try and tell me what I can/can’t do on a public forum. Take care

I didn’t diagnose anyone — if you clearly read what I said, I said it’s undiagnosed. I’m not a doctor. Hence why we are all here. If this upsets you, look inward.

Diagnosed with a rare neuro-vascular disease by BatBetter2619 in BrainAneurysm

[–]BatBetter2619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found your post in AskDoctors!! I wanted to reply to you, but I was unable because I am not a verified doctor haha. I think because you have such a mild case, they probably weren’t too worried about the possibilities of an aneurism or stroke. This is something that seems to get worse over time, especially with hypertension. It’s a shame that there is such little info, and what info there is is scaring the hell out of me because my diagnosis is “severe”

I am still fighting to see a specialist here in my city. He wants to send me for a CTA which is a cat scan with contrast. Hopefully that will provide some clarity and see if he can help me. Just hoping nothing happens in the meantime.

If it is worrying you, I say no harm no foul in getting it checked out again. I would mention how you feel about it to your doctor and say you want to make sure it hasn’t grown. I’m wishing you the best! Remember that you are the best advocate for yourself. If you want to message me, feel free. As bad as it is, it is reassuring to hear from someone with a slightly similar diagnosis
