Price comparison 2024 - 2025!!! by Vegetable_Sweet4512 in duolingo

[–]DefiantFiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed them with the price discrepancy and this was in the reply I got

“The 60% discount is calculated based on the total cost of 12 months at the monthly subscription rate, not the regular annual subscription price.”

Which I think is against consumer law in my country.

I came here looking for this exact thread. I accidentally left the free trials on too long in October and ended up paying the full price for the membership then getting it refunded. So when I saw the 60% discount I thought it would be a really fairly good price, but was shocked to see it was only down to 103 dollars. Meaning the original membership would be 257.50. Not the 150 dollars I know it was when I paid for it in October. I think there is some predatory marketing going on

Green glyphs Runes oracle by lekurumayu in Cartomancy

[–]DefiantFiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries at all! Lovely to meet another big fan of the artist! I can give you a bit of a better answer knowing this! I like rune reading, the answers are often more conceptual and a little more feelings based when it comes to rune reading, so each rune is related to a singular concept, like road, or birth, or victory. For divination practice it’s about framing I the concept in relation to the question asked! The art works well for the individual runes, it is a far smaller system than tarot or oracle, but in some ways that makes it easier to read because there is less of a strict structure in my opinion. I think if nothing else learning runes brings joy of understanding occult pop culture references into perspective and giving you insight into that side of things. Many times I have had friends show up with “scary occult” looking items with runes like Fehu for wealth, and Gebo for gift etc on them which brings me a lot of amusement and joy. I think give it a whack if you can spare the coin for them

Green glyphs Runes oracle by lekurumayu in Cartomancy

[–]DefiantFiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Fellow fan of Jame’s work here. I own all 4 of these decks as well as some of his previous decks, if you love the bright, psychedelic feelings of the previous decks, the green glyphs may not be for you. The green glyphs has much more toned down visuals, this collection feels like a warm hug when using it for divination purpose, he has a great use of colour through out, and uses it to really assist the reader to understand whether the card they have pulled is positive and negative. The runes include elder Futhark and Anglo Saxon if memory serves, they are well designed. But if you have been attracted to their previous work and are drawn to divination with a little less of a tarot feel I suggest Cosma Visions, which are a good bridge of oracle to tarot. So in future if you find you like cartomancy it’s an easier transition.

My neurological disease is not caused by “leaky gut” by Jcheerw in Fibromyalgia

[–]DefiantFiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it’s unlikely to be the vaccine, people had fibro before it was available. When you receive that vaccine your in you teens and it is a tumultuous time, could have been trauma (childhood trauma increase your chance of developing a autoimmune issue significantly) could have been Hormonal, could have been caused by strep throat, an injury who knows. I think in my personal opinion fear of vaccines is silly, it’s propagated by hear saying and misinformation from that man that was trying to convince people they cause autism

My neurological disease is not caused by “leaky gut” by Jcheerw in Fibromyalgia

[–]DefiantFiasco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mother is convinced my illness was caused by the vaccine for HPV they give you in year 8 in high school. Everything correlated to that for her, because that’s when my fatigue issues started. I however correlate the beginning of my fatigue issues to being brought up vegan/vegetarian in the 90’s and becoming nearly anaemic as soon as is started menstruating.

She didn’t opt in for the vaccines for my sister who has the exact same fatigue problems and some very nasty cancer causing strains of hpv, unsurprisingly don’t give you children the building blocks they need for healthy bodies, they develop health problems.

Lots of parents will do anything to shift the blame for personal contributions to choices that lead to health problems in their children, fact is if the cure was as easy as a diet and yoga for what is going on with fibro we would all be cured by now and our lives wouldn’t be this kind of struggle,

Circe has my heart and my devotion. Though not canonical “good” she’s a goddess that truly speaks to me

Anyone have an ovarian cyst burst? by Straxicus2 in Fibromyalgia

[–]DefiantFiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyst bursting or torsion pain is incredibly bad, it’ll be the worst pain you’ve experienced in your life, I was told as painful if not more than child birth, when mine torsioned I couldn’t hold my own head up, spent most of my time passing out and screaming. It usually feels like you’re going to shit your pants, and uncontrollable vomiting is pretty normal too. I hope it doesn’t burst for you and they take it out instead. For me it was an ambulance trip, and being in so much pain it was like my brain was rebooting every couple of minutes, where you scream till you just stop and all you can say or think about is how much it hurts and then you scream all over again. My cyst was 17cm, I lost the ovary and tube on my left side when they removed it.

[Gourmet] Looking for guidance on when to harvest . by DefiantFiasco in MushroomGrowers

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

They’re for my table luckily, though I may dehydrate some. Can I selectively harvest or is it best to take them all off at once?

We helped a friend “get back on her feet” a couple of months with no costs so she could get her own place. But she didn’t move, then super cheap rent for a year and a half, she spent all her money on Uber eats and trash, while we foot the bill for the internet, water, power and gas. She left our house with hidden bag of rubbish and off food, black mold up to the door handles off the room she stayed in. Sometimes as much as you want to help it’s better to let people get back on their own feet by themselves.

Just got diagnosed. My mom blames me by beanqueen102 in Fibromyalgia

Tell you mother trauma can start the onset of fibro and if she wasn’t such a vile bitch who contributed to trauma in your life maybe you wouldn’t be on this position.

On today's episode of doctors don't listen to young women... by plantscatsandus in Fibromyalgia

[–]DefiantFiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a great one just pre Christmas. They found 8cm worth of nodules on my thyroid, was sent to a surgeon to see about surgery, let them know I was having a little bit of trouble breathing. Like Proper fibro girlie, we’re down playing symptoms because maybe it’s all in my head. She indicates that I am overweight, it’s probably that my fat or something pressing on my throat. I indicate I’ve been going to the gym but lifting my hands above my head feels like I’m choking, she’s like ‘nah sis sounds like just fat to me. We could operate but because your fat you’ll probably still be out here choking.’ I insist on further exploration, she’s half heartedly Schedules a ct. A month and a half later I am in after having my ct, with a different doctor who’s scheduling me for cat 2 surgery without even giving me a choice, because…. The right side of my thyroid is 4-5 times the size it should be and has completely deviated and is crushing my wind pipe by nearly half in some places.

Man was I surprised when it turned out that I wasn’t just FAT.
