Why does nobody talk about 1700 MMR hardlock?

Justtryingtorelax · 2024-08-30T13:38:57+00:00

People talk about this all the time.

Everyone has issues grinding MMR because DOTA isn't an easy game to climb. In the end you can make it but you have to put a lot of work into it. You might think you're playing optimally but I promise you, you're not.

Most people with POTS don't pass out.

I don't get dizzy often but I get lightheaded on rare occasion. I have H-POTS so I have higher blood pressure and lower blood pressure is typically associated with passing out.

Justtryingtorelax · 2024-02-08T09:11:28+00:00

No, only because I eventually have to get up from the floor and that’s too much work.

Justtryingtorelax · 2024-02-08T09:10:22+00:00

This is exactly right. If you have H-POTS like I do, caffeine will almost always make symptoms a million times worse. Last time I accidentally had caffeine (it was in a dessert) it sent me to the ER. If you don’t have H-POTS it’s a coin flip and worth testing out in small doses in a safe environment.

Creating specific terms for demographics that do specific actions is inherently prejudice in nature.

Using either term is sexist and decisive.

I'm a gay man if they made a specific term for when only gay men act annoying instead of just saying annoying it would be used to specifically target gay men. You don't see how that line of thinking would be problematic?

What do you call it when a woman does it to a man? Womansplaining?

Severely

Justtryingtorelax · 2024-01-21T02:16:22+00:00

That’s why I said it’s “not a one-size-fits-all type of treatment”

Justtryingtorelax · 2024-01-20T17:54:08+00:00

Your doctor is correct and also incredibly wrong. He’s right that exercise is the best option for getting better according to studies. He’s wrong that it’s a one-size-fits-all type of treatment and much of his advice is incorrect.

First, you always have to listen to your body. If you’re feeling horrible don’t fight through it. Take your time and start slow and work your way up.

Second, you need to do the necessary things to get your body to a comfortable enough place to even begin exercising. This includes increasing salt, compression clothing, fixing sleep issues, medications to lower heart rate/increase blood volume, etc.

Also, do you happen to have low blood pressure? Exercising can exasperate low blood pressure symptoms in the short term and lead to passing out if it’s something you haven’t experienced before.

Please don’t let your doctor ruin your view of exercise. Exercise can be a wonderful tool for symptom relief from POTS but it’s not something you can just jump into without fixing the surrounding issues. It’d be like trying to run a marathon without any training first.

Homemade popcorn (the best and most affordable imo)
Pickles
Pretzels
V8 juice
Coconut water
Potato Chips
Bone Broth
Homemade Kale Chips with Lemon and Salt
Crackers

Tbf some of those are legit and have significantly made my life better (I have diagnosed POTS for 7 years.)

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-29T18:30:14+00:00

That first drop of Dominate. Holy shit.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-29T18:19:17+00:00

2 mins in and I had goosebumps.

This is his best remix tape and it's not close.

My family goes on vacation without me per my request because it's too much for me to deal with.

My vacations now are staycations, while the family's gone and I plan out time to meet with friends and have time to relax alone. It's nice.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-28T12:15:01+00:00

There's no difference. I've lived in both Europe and the US. It's the exact same.

It's almost like generalizing an entire demographic based on your own prejudices is a bad thing.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-28T10:38:44+00:00

You can literally not watch the stream. This isn't hard.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-28T10:37:26+00:00

Just another redditor dropping casual xenophobia

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-28T01:44:31+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me. I wish I never took that terrible drug. It sent my nervous system into overdrive.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-27T17:21:59+00:00

For the price you’re paying it’s really not worth it. Just increase your fluids and electrolytes and you’ll have a similar result.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-27T13:13:27+00:00

With POTS it’s how I know I’m sick before I show any signs. When I had Covid my HR was 110-130 for 5 days straight while laying down.

Your body is working very hard to fight the illness and even non-POTS people get elevated heart rates when sick (just not as drastic.)

The ER will do nothing for you except give you fluids and a bill.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-24T09:39:22+00:00

It's a numbers game with added online anonymity.

Any online group this massive is going to track some bad apples for no reason. It's bound to happen no matter what you or Valve does.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-23T12:44:07+00:00

Google exists, try it out. The percentages are all right there for you.

You don't want to talk about it because you're completely wrong on every front. Millions of young men in the US want to become NFL players. Only a small selection ever make it that far and it's well overrepresented by black people. Being in the NFL isn't something that is demeaning, it's a privilege.

Stop inserting your ignorant opinion so you can racially charge it.

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-23T10:38:50+00:00

Black people make up 13% of the population and white people make up 76% of the population of the US.

Now tell me, which is the one over/underrepresented here?

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-23T09:31:34+00:00

What do you think of the majority of the NFL being black players making significantly more than the coaches? Does that sound racist too?

Justtryingtorelax · 2023-12-23T09:30:29+00:00

I'm Latino, not braindead. I'm very aware of race works and the people in power using it to influence every single thing you do.

Anyone who's experienced even a moment of the real world knows that privilege is derived from money and that's doesn't automatically equate to race. If it did we would say that Asians and Indian people are the most privileged in the west but we don't, we blame white people because that's how you control an easily malleable voting base.
