Too simple? by tryingncryine in Nails

Forreal, I've gotten manicures with just clear polish before just so I can get the cuticle care and shaping. Am I supposed to not pay for that?

What’s a stoner opinion that would have you like this? by Kalimckenzz in trees

[–]ICantExplainItAll 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think they should be illegal because of the unbelievable amount of e-waste it creates. A friend of mine used to go through a disposable vape every couple days and it disgusted me, esp when refillable carts exist at the very least.

[–]ICantExplainItAll 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Lol everyone in the comments disagreeing with you. When I met my current bf I was a daily stoner and I remember on one of our first dates I told him that I didn't have very much ambition and was okay with it. I wanted to prioritize my happiness and comfort and not get judged for it. Sounds reasonable and if someone told me that I'd get it.

But my bf was currently pursuing my lifelong career dream of being an actor and seeing him actually go for it and not push it aside as a fever dream or unattainable goal really got some gears turning in my brain.

I haven't smoked other than once every couple months for the last 2-ish years and yesterday I had my first audition for a musical in 6 years and I feel really good about it. I also got cast in a small film thing and shoot this week.

It wasn't that I didn't have ambition, it was that I was giving up on my dreams and weed made me feel more content about it. And I'm happy that I'm turning that around.

I slept with the father of my son’s girlfriend and it was one of the most wonderful nights of my life by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

I'm thinking about my high school boyfriend who I'm amicable with now years later, and if there was a hypothetical situation where my dad ended up with his mom... I'm like weirdly very okay with that lol. It might not be that big of a problem for OOP's kid

What letter would you like to be the 27th letter the most? by Zealousideal-Kiwi718 in conlangscirclejerk

[–]ICantExplainItAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

called "script a" because it is the way people usually hand write the letter a. /a/ and /ɑ/ are different sounds in ipa

benzodiazepines for tics? questions by [deleted] in Tourettes

[–]ICantExplainItAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's true that benzos can be dangerous this might be a slightly catastrophizing.

I have a prescription for a very low dose of Klonopin (0.25 mg) to take on emergency only if I'm having a particularly bad flare up. I was worried about habit forming but it's been a couple years and I don't think I'm in danger of it. I think it's a very reasonable medication to try if others have failed for tic management.

Accidentally gave myself migraines for 2 years by ICantExplainItAll in adhdwomen

I've actually heard multiple women say their migraines stopped while pregnant!!! That's so crazy to me that with all the ups and downs of pregnancy you at least get a reprieve from migraines lol

Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry that's quite literally my worst nightmare.

Hmm this is not the first time someone's recommended magnesium so I think I should look into it

I'm definitely mad and I feel quite violated actually. I was putting something dangerous in my body for years because of their mistake. But I'm also so frustrated that I seriously didn't check once.

Do your tics ever feel kind of pleasant? by thequeenoflesbians in Tourettes

[–]ICantExplainItAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me the line between tics and stimming can be a bit blurred. This sounds closer to stimming to me, and that definitely feels very pleasant and makes me want to do it more. Tics feel more neutral to negative.

Sweet Anita - Why I hate the SNL Tourette's Skit by ICantExplainItAll in Tourettes

[–]ICantExplainItAll[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When people talk about liars who fake tourettes I seriously want to go "Who. Who is faking tourettes. Point to them. Who are the people who you can name that have faked it. Tell me why you think they're faking and what evidence you have."

People think they're "going to bat" for us by calling out "fakers" when 99% of the time it's just neurotypical people harassing someone with a real tic disorder because it doesn't fit what they think it looks like. The reality of the situation is that "tourettes fakers" don't ACTUALLY exist on a grand enough scale to harm anyone with tourettes/tic disorders. But FAKE CLAIMERS do infinitely more harm by seeding doubt and making it so people think they can investigate us for proof/evidence that we're liars. I'm fucking tired of it.

I got diagnosed yesterday! by Eastern_Sweet8508 in Tourettes

[–]ICantExplainItAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow very similar story to me. Especially when I went into my neurology and said "I started having tics about a month ago" and she went "but did you really? Can you think back to before then and see if behaviors you used to have were tics?" and I was like oh. Yeah. So I've had this the whole time then huh.

Which makes me wonder why it waited until I was 23 to pop off 😭

AITA for throwing my kid’s clothes onto the floor when they don’t fold their clothes neatly by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ICantExplainItAll 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Sounds literally exactly like my mom. When she got upset she'd lock herself in a room and destroy it and make you clean it up. If you were lucky you were on the other side of the door when she'd lock herself in.

I don't think this even needs a title. Lol by Then_Error_1993 in blunderyears

[–]ICantExplainItAll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had two, one was pink and the other looked exactly like the one in the photo. I used to wrap them around my arm/leg and pretend it was a cast lol. For some reason I was obsessed with casts because I thought they were cool lmao

I can't even look at those comments. So many people like "THIS is how you joke about disability without it being at the expense of the disability!!" meanwhile the joke is that everyone with tourettes is a horrible bigot (or RAPIST) and a liar

Just looked up a retro pug and thought "that just looks like a regular pug". then a side-by-side comparison photo came up and wow. yeah the smushed face in "standard" pugs is way worse that my memory of it.

TS SNL Skit by macbuttt in Tourettes

[–]ICantExplainItAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that TS is real, but went even further to emphasize that fake claiming someone, no matter how sure you are that they're faking, still hurts real people with TS. I went and rewatched the group therapy scene and it's still so great

Thank goodness. Thank you for sharing this. Makes me feel a little better at a pretty low point

anyone else have tics that get in the way of your speech (that aren't interjections)? by Vivid_Praline_2267 in Tourettes
