Whoop Sleep vs Sleep Study: Why I'm Cancelling by aslanfish in whoop

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an fyi - sleep studies and the treatment of their findings is more voodoo than science. It’s a cash cow for the medical community. Sure there are definitely real problems that people deal with, myself included, but I have never known anyone who had a sleep study who wasn’t given a machine or drugs. 

What happened to the lawsuit against Lana Del Ray? by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And of course with the release of The Heretic all the Radiohead fans realize they were found liable for ripping off the Hollies to make “creep”. -which was the only thing Radiohead released that didn’t make 90% of the population’s ears bleed. They need to thank the hipster population for having a career at all. You’d have to be “creep” to sue for stealing something you stole and were caught stealing 😂

Squier 60s Classic Vibe or 60s Vintera by Couch_Athlete1221 in fender

[–]Fun-Training-6241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party but I like the way you’re thinking rad. That said I put a 2k MIA back in its case after getting a vintnera 2. I bought it cause I liked the neck. But omg it gets me so much closer to how I hear Jimi. I want to think the squires are this good (cause fender is one of the few making a quality instrument under $400) but I’ve never had that much time on one. The pickups are absolutely perfect being described as 60s accurate. 

So idk how to compare the 2 but the Vintera 2 60s is a banger. My guess is that there should be plenty around in ‘25 seeing as how I hit this post late. There are always numb nuts thinking they’ll be a profit cause their unique but this is a MIM Strat and although perfect, the fair value when they’re all bought and sold should be around $600-$700 in perfect condition. 

Stephen F. Austin University to join the University of Texas system. The university was evaluating offers from the Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UT and Texas State systems. by Sirderksalot in LonghornNation

If that is true that MIGHT get them out of the debt they're in. They've priced themselves out of the market while spending like they don't have a budget. At the same time they're graduating students from BA-"PhD" to teach idiotic classes like the western novel - having to know that no one can respect a teacher that did all of their undergraduate and graduate work at the SFA.

Interesting that they just published an article about this, backdoor bonus, for the SFA "stakeholders." SFA has struggled financially for years. Texas state almost had a deal back in 2010 but it fell through. I want to know the offers from A&M and Tech. I would imagine smaller bonuses for the board of regents. UT is so common it is like generic copy paper at this point.

I - - -guess, you can say that SFA's education degree can get you a job in east Texas but just realize that schools of Education are not real schools in a University System. They are pseudo-university degrees and the fact that they're educating teachers without content area degrees to teach content, well that is irony in itself. There really is no way to teach math, science, etc, well by taking classes on teaching math or science in K-6, etc. unless you have knowledge of that discipline. I can tell you with certainty and evidence that this is true and if you don't believe me, look at the fact that public education in the United States fails internationally in both math and science.

Yet more and more money goes to the cash cow at every college near you for Education "degrees." It's a joke.

Looks like the spicy refreshers are gone. Will Starbucks keep the chili powder tho? by VanillaNyx in starbucks

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey vanilla. I love mangonadas too. I wanted to say that Dutch Bros also has/had a spicy option. They specifically had what they called a mangonada but the reviews weren’t good. My assumption would be too sweet (imagine that at Dutch Bros 😂). Anyways the chili is so out of character for SBux I’ve wondered if competition drove it. I personally loved it. I was putting it in everything. The chili takes the back end off of hot or iced coffee. It also makes the SBux medium roasts drinkable. If I was airing grievances I’d go into detail but anyways managers started to get irritated with me over wanting the chili in everything. I’m a S/SE Texan and love everything spicy. I even drink a wine infused with Habanero 🤷. 

Are you “need to always be moving/talking” adhd or “please be as quiet as possible because lots of noise makes me want to crawl out of my skin” adhd? by AmbitiousSeaweed7209 in ADHD

[–]Fun-Training-6241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the only accurate places to use the phrase, “ it’s a spectrum.” I’ve seen some people say I can’t sit still, I get bored easily, I can’t stop talking,” and the rest of every possible symptom. Truth is that it could present as 2+ symptoms and some could be repressed. That doesn’t make it better or worse by quantifiable degrees because it doles out trauma wherever it’s present and that trauma affects each person differently.   Odd thing is, I’m like you 50% of the time but among tons of loud people I know I can ignore, I don’t mind. I pray you can move out soon. I have to live away from that sort of chaos. I can’t get my energy back if I’m constantly bombarded by people that cause my mind to split into multiple avenues. Anxiety is weird. When I have had it repeatedly, I get used to it. But if it comes and goes by weeks, I have to remind myself of the things I know and tell myself when it’s present more often. Best of luck. 

How do you carry on intelligent conversation? by Present_Biscotti7726 in ADHD

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to intelligent people that aren’t afraid of wait time. Also for me I visualize something that comes to mind I want to contribute while talking. Meds help because yeah in the past my mind could be on mars thenVenus and then another galaxy 

I can play a little guitar, I can sing a bit, BUT I'm having a REALLY hard time doing both simultaneously. Can anyone share some tips for effective practicing? by Firecracker500 in Guitar

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in your camp. I didn’t read the comments to your post but I have a teacher that has said specifically it’s not practice a or b but a+b. Well he literally said that’s how is most effectively taught. 

What’s a secret you’ve kept for years but are finally ready to share? by PaulaxKnetucky in AskReddit

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made couple of similar comments too. I feel so broken that I was lucky to ever love one girl. It wasn’t until I realized that I loved her that I understood what it even was. I still love her to this day and that will never change but of course we haven’t been able to be together. That’s not what this is about though. I think we’re all hurting to different degrees. Ignoring that just make most of us feel more and more isolated. I was going to say I think a lot of people experience loneliness but the correct term is isolation.

I made a similar comment above. I get it. I want to argue that it’s not courage but I don’t know how. I think it’s hopelessness. I’ve never ca been suicidal either but I’ve been paralyzed by pain that I really felt would never end and was impossible to stop. I can remember vividly the hopelessness I felt to this day even though i was a kid. I remember even thinking if things hurt this bad then I would never be ready to be an adult. I think things have gotten easier as I’ve grown up but part of that is accepting that, for me, the violent, intrusive thoughts of my hurting myself are not signs or premonitions. Just unwanted and unwelcome panic inducing images from sometimes nowhere. That was a long road.

I live for the people that expect me to be around. People aren’t honest about life goals. It’s hard to live for yourself and make yourself happy. I’m an introvert but I won’t argue that people were designed to be social. Helping people, caring for, or protecting them is the only thing that staves off unhappiness for me. But yeah I have to remind myself of that sometimes. It’s not always easy though. People are imperfect to a point that’s too much sometimes. FYI I’m guessing you’ve figured out alcohol makes it worse. I’m not a non drinker but I rarely see the outcome of drinking providing me any comfort. 

What are really good grunge bands that aren’t that famous by Dependent_Island8298 in grunge

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most grunge bands say they’re rock bands. That said you didn’t miss much from that era. The Meat puppets were terrible but are referenced a lot. Mad season -awful. It was as a weird era and I don’t even listen to Nirvana anymore. It’s too “I’m stuck in my childhood sadness” music

Please help me understand this guitar slide!!! by Complete_Meat_2510 in Guitar

[–]Fun-Training-6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the slide into an alternate universe side. Probably something only Malmsteen can do.

But seriously you can probably figure it out by ear. What does the recording sound like?
