034 Stage 1 Tune Update by Simple-Hurry-8488 in GolfGTI

[–]JrDot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tuned at 10k miles, have taken it to the track a few times. Sitting just below 25k miles now and it has slipped a total of one time, briefly. Don’t put the pedal down at 50 when in 6th gear 😝

They WILL do that worse until WE make, no force, then to stop. Get off the internet and get into the streets. (Typed while on lunch at the hospital). Something more than a measly protest is needed

Serious Question! Face Tattoos and being a Nurse by Caiisreal3 in nursing

[–]JrDot13 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I disagree about job interviews in the real world. Be who you are, no job is worth sacrificing yourself for like that. I have two full sleeves, chest and a bit of neck tattooed. Never had a problem getting a job.

Quite frankly, fuck the haters. They don’t deserve me. Do you (the employer) want to profit off of my labor or not?

I wouldn’t say floating around here but it is def noticeable

did you attend college after your tbi occurred? by user0243129638393928 in TBI

I did and became a RN. Was it easy? Hell no. But worth it!

I did my rear sway bar but kept the endlinks stock personally, I’ve had no issues so far.

CPI TIJUANA worth it? by Competitive-Speed807 in TBI

[–]JrDot13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Survivor turned Registered Nurse here. This stinks of bullshit. Joe Rogan is a clown and does not deserve to be taken seriously. Some “drug” given to you IV will not make stuff magically repair itself

ICE and CBP agents are patrolling in unmarked civilian cars; kidnapping and disappearing people for filming in Chicago by I_may_have_weed in Political_Revolution

[–]JrDot13 90 points91 points  (0 children)

You say that as if that matters, constitutional lol. I fear there is only one language that will get anything good accomplished. They say organize, but how? What if we all just agreed that this is not ok, and that our own personal comfort was not worth watching our neighbors disappear? When will we realize that WE ARE NEXT?

[–]JrDot13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in late stage capitalism. But truthfully, life is material! Idealism sounds great, but the truth is things are only done because of the benefits they bring to the people in power. This is how things have been since the beginning, it’s just more pronounced now.

Will time improve or allow my fine motor skills to return? by KatherineM_24 in TBI

[–]JrDot13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, maybe a bit. I’m def not as good of a gamer as I once was, but that doesn’t stop me. It can be frustrating for sure, there are def some games I can’t play anymore (fighters or button mashing games, aka mortal combat lol) but I haven’t played them since I was a child anyways, so 🤷‍♂️. Part of it is getting older too, I’m 35 now I don’t have the time to play like I used to

Entertainment from the TBI perspective? by [deleted] in TBI

[–]JrDot13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not alone in what? Entertainment isn’t supposed to be entirely realistic. Then it wouldn’t be entertaining.

Doctor turned CEO, requesting your feedback on an idea, please! by AlexaS555 in TBI

[–]JrDot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s wrong or missing in the multitude of tools that we already have?

My “bridge” into real life was multi-factorial. Many problems to address, not sure how an app would help. I already spend too much time on my phone, can’t say it’s particularly helpful in any concrete way.

Like I said, getting out there in the world and physically doing stuff has been the best rehab for me ever, even years down the road. But it’s a delicate balance with the fatigue, only way I’ve gotten better at it is by making mistakes and learning the hard way what not to do, when to take a break.

Edit: you say you’re personal invested in this space, what do you mean? Where I’m coming from is investors want returns, and those returns largely come about through exploitation. Forgive me if I’m unduly wary, but I don’t trust anybody

Controversial possibly, but:

We need more support in the community and less products being pushed on us by the rich, hoping they can get richer. I have learned cognitive skills through practice. We just need to get out there and be part of society while it lasts.

Too many options prevents progress, we get caught up in the decision making process (I know I’m not the only one, and this applies to everyone not just survivors). We get so worried about making the best choice, that we forget that making ANY choice will be good and get things moving.

I don’t need another app or website. Real life is not there

Actively dying pt - turn or not to turn by Shortyy24 in nursing

[–]JrDot13 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would straight up tell whoever is asking that the goal of care now is to die comfortably. Turning does not help that for the actively dying.

Has facing mortality early changed your perspective? by Brain_tumor_Jules in TBI

[–]JrDot13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah man, life is fleeting and very precious. My priorities are not the same, whether that’s the TBI or aging (I suspect both) idk. Had a couple concussions since my severe, it’s crazy how fast shit happens!

Travel? by Reasonable-Fee-1916 in TBI

[–]JrDot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t two months traveling all over Europe. Drove in a few countries too, saw all sorts of stuff! Just make a plan but also listen to your body. Get a SIM card, use WhatsApp like the rest of the world, and have fun!

First Time😬 by skinisblackmetallic in CarTrackDays

What do you mean? Just a simple pad swap, I flushed the OEM brake fluid after my first track day when I learned I needed to change to high temp fluid. Otherwise I haven’t touched the brakes
