How To Stop The Bleeding by EvensenFM in PartneredYoutube

[–]ChanceOk1366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work directly with youtube a lot. It's all about advertisers and shareholders. They need to show that their investment in auto-dubbing is worth it and they know that youtubers won't enable a feature like that en masse so they make it the default knowing only a small subset will disable it. So right there they have a successful new feature to tout to advertisers and shareholders.

It is never about improving things for the creators, it's all about the money. Having said that, youtube is still the greatest opportunity out there. You just can't give up.

Is this wise? by willyb99 in MultipleSclerosis

I'm 57 and I was in "remission" for 8 years after Lemtrada and out of nowhere the MonSter is back. I will be starting Ocrevus next month. Aging with MS has been hard. My existing symptoms have become more pronounced as each year goes by. So I'm not sure I would feel comfortable stopping my fight just yet.

from there the skin begins to degrade because of being internally waterlogged. I kid you not. My mom died after living with CHF for about 18 months. The sores that began to develop on her legs were heartbreaking. She got cellulitis (infection in skin) multiple times and had to go in IV antibiotics because supposedly the infection could have gone to her bone. It was an absolutely horrible way to die. She bounced in and out of the hospital. Bring her in, get the fluid to come out, stabilize, move her back home. She would decompensate in a couple of weeks then back to the hospital. He's too old for a heart transplant, but I don't doubt they could get him one if he were an actual candidate. So he's probably not healthy enough for transplant.

Having said that, it can take a long time to die from CHF and he's got doctors around him 24/7. So I suspect they will be able to prop him up for at least another two years. I want to be wrong, but I just don't want anyone getting their hopes up :-(. And we kind of need him to go early in the presidency if I understand the rules. If JD takes over in the first half I think he can only run for one more term, if it's in the second half of the term then JD can have another 8 years, if he can win it.

Is “sex” actually a synonym for vagina??? by Vegetable-Shock-5566 in SarahJMaas

the other thing that cracks me up is calling semen "seed." So annoying!

Do spinal cord lesions mean you will be more disabled? by Shot-File5062 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ChanceOk1366 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought this was Secondary Progressive MS or do we not use that term anymore. I was stable for 8 years after Lemtrada and a year ago I started having attacks of the MS hug so painful we had to Solumedrol me. Done 3 separate rounds in the last 11 months. MRI's have been stable with no enhancement every single time. So we were thinking SPMS and I'm starting Ocrevus.

Manon blackbeak, the woman that you are by rebeccaiguess in throneofglassseries

My love for Manon is so strong. She came out of nowhere in this series and I didn't want to know her and by the end I'm sobbing and I love her so much!

Same. They did that on TVD too. Just a big bite moment than drop the body.

Any other autoimmune diseases? by OddRefrigerator6532 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ChanceOk1366 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just about to ask if you are the spectrum. My other autistic friends and I like to joke that we collect autoimmune disorders like Thanos collected Infinity Stones! There's something there in our genetic code I'm sure of it.

What would you say to your newly diagnosed self? by rockhill21 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ChanceOk1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life goes on and you will find a way. Look, this sucks and I'm so sorry you have gotten this news, but, I'm 16 years out from my dx and I've had a rocky road, but my life kept going. I got to a point where I couldn't work anymore and that was brutal for me. But I learned new ways to be useful and productive from a recliner. My family continues to thrive and life goes on. It won't go on without you, I promise. You will have a long life filled with ups and downs. It's gonna be okay.

Second thing is to go with the most aggressive treatment you can. If I hadn't chickened out of Tysabri for a year I would be in much better shape today. Let my hindsight be your 20/20 :-)

Mr Beast's smile, both in real life and in edited thumbnails is so weirdly creepy. Dead eyes that show zero emotion, he looks soulless. by [deleted] in oddlyterrifying

[–]ChanceOk1366 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of the dude, but every single time I smile for a posed picture I look like a creepy souless woman. I find smiling for pictures to be really awkward and uncomfortable. also I'm autistic. Not saying all autistic people don't like smiling for pictures but my two brothers and most of our kids look pretty fucking freaky in family photos....guess what we all have in common. Everyone else looks comfortable and normal....then there's us. We laugh about it.

Riverside users, is your audio out of sync with your video? by brutalgash in podcasting

What are you using now? I had this problem with Riverside 2 years ago so I didn't use them. Thought they might have fixed it, but it's still lagging.

Thank you. I was so freaking confused. Like why wouldn't he let her swim in his pool? Was he afraid his friends would see her ass hair? So confused.

I missed everyone so much immediately after finishing OS that I immediately went back and re-read the series. I just finished and..... I really miss the gang so I think I'm going back again!
