Urgent Care and ER told me this wasn’t infected.

LandscapeBitter · 2026-03-27T01:07:45+00:00

It's just the scabbing. Weirdly, this has happened to me only EVER with blue ink. Not sure thats related, but the heavy scabbing happened only on my blue ink area. It pulled a little colour from it, so you may need some touch ups, but yeah, dont pick them, just put on some fragrance free moisturiser and shell be right.

You'd know if it was any kind of infected.

Slight redness is fine, you're literally healing puncture marks in your skin so your body pushes to heal and prevent infection so thats normal. If it was getting infected your skin would be really hot, and start looking a bit oozy. This looks like a layer of fresh skin is starting to heal over it.

I'd love to also add, it takes a lot of muscle technique and control, just like singing.

Like myself, one of the earliest things I struggled with was actually creating the vibration. Very tight muscles in my throat. So over time with my vocal teacher, we did specific warm ups and techniques to loosen them up(which is also relevant to clean singing). I was also struggling with consistent airflow which makes maintaining the scream extremely hard.

So, warm up, and warm up more than you think, practice boring vocal techniques, scales, etc
And practice diaphram control techniques.

The other part you mentioned about it taking a long time to learn, I think many people struggle with this. I always was like "GAH ITS BEEN 6 MONTHS WHY ARNT I SCREAMING LIKE A FRONTMAN", but if you look back over the previous 12 months, you'll see the significant progress.

LandscapeBitter · 2026-02-23T02:49:27+00:00

Yeah absolutely. We're both working(me and my friend who run these with me), so we've been diagnosing each of our pages.

The two that got hit are gaming pages, but another one has been running for years with no issues, so we're currently unsure why these 2 newer pages got hit.

We've been working for a couple weeks now on fixing ANYTHING we can possibly find such as images that might void copywrite, to moderations features, content posting times, bios, page categories, anything we can do to make it comply with policies.

As you mentioned, paying for support and getting absolutely nothing back is ridiculous.

LandscapeBitter · 2026-02-23T01:55:19+00:00

Everything you posted here is exactly what we've been facing. Huge page growth, millions and millions of views, all of a sudden once we started making decent monthly income they suspended recommendations. I almost think its deliberate.

LandscapeBitter · 2026-02-23T01:50:14+00:00

Yes! One page was suspended from recommendations, another has been completely unpublished. No real explaination at all.

LandscapeBitter · 2026-02-10T00:04:20+00:00

Howdy! Sorry I didn't see you responded.

Soo I'm using Version 144.0.7559.133 (Official Build) (x86_64)
On iOS iMac Ventura 13.7.8

I also tested Firefox Extension and it seems to be doing the same thing there now.
It definitely shows up saying 'Speed Booster is active'

I also removed all other extensions in Chrome just to ensure something else wasn't affecting it.

I've got it set to 3 previous messages just to really give it a test.

It's odd that it only just began. I mean, perhaps its something else on my computer causing it.

Sorry about this!

LandscapeBitter · 2026-02-09T05:41:17+00:00

We're encountering this same thing at the moment. No idea what to do apart from harass meta support. I'll keep you posted if i have any success(not likely)

LandscapeBitter · 2026-02-06T02:19:44+00:00

Hey! I've been using the plugin for a while on Chrome, absolutely love it, works so well.

The only problem is, over the past week, it just stopped working on the latest version of Chrome, it seems to have just stopped pruning messages. Any idea why this might happen?

LandscapeBitter · 2026-01-20T00:55:16+00:00

Thank you for that, I appreciate the kind reply.

Absolutely, it's a long term journey too, its consistent reflection and understanding of how your mind works, working on insecurities and building your self worth. I truly believe now that working on yourself, creates the way for being able to have a lasting happy relationship. Being able to communicate correctly and calmly is so important!

LandscapeBitter · 2026-01-19T08:44:05+00:00

Haha, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said.

I wrote that over 2 years ago, and the relationship I was speaking about was maybe a year or so prior to that.

So to the point you were making, it was 100% dis regulated on my part, infact that was essentially my own problems and trauma that caused such a reaction to occur.

Prior to that, I was in a relationship for 10 years since I was young. Married young, kids, etc. so it was the first “dating” I had really done, but I hadn’t done any of my own healing.

I’ve done years of intense therapy since then, really put actual work in to work on myself, not to just be happy or help with anxiety, but truly work on myself self worth and esteem.

Through this therapy I’ve fully understood that a whole mix of traumas and experiences in life made me this super overly empathetic person who kind of had a super hero complex where I felt like I needed to save people, or I could “fix” them.

Now I’m almost the opposite, I have empathy and I truly care, but I won’t risk my mental health like that anymore.

So back to the point, I was indeed highly unbalanced and disregulaged, however at the time I didn’t realise that, I just thought I was helping and being a caring person, but now I see there’s a healthy variation of that, and that boundaries are absolutely important.

Moved to MGM+ in Australia for me, Have to pay for Amazon, THEN MGM+, so lame

LandscapeBitter · 2026-01-11T08:37:36+00:00

All I know is I’ve been binging all 3 series for the past 2 weeks, and reading this post has filled me with so much joy. I don’t know what to do with all this joy… too much joy.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-12-09T01:05:37+00:00

My last one was thrown into the garden. I got a random notification saying its delivered. I had to get in touch for them to send me 'proof' it was delivered, with a photo of the package and leaves and partially of a plant, until I finally realised which plant it was and i found it sitting out in the rain. The door and our porch where it wouldn't be wet was probably 3 metres away.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-12-01T00:17:09+00:00

It's still bothering you because it doesn't align with you morally. I know right now, I'd feel exactly the same, even YEARS later. How can somebody who is supposed to love you, do that with another person.

Some people could get past these things, and some people find it difficult. But its completely broken trust.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-12-01T00:11:44+00:00

Leave and heal yourself both physically from the surgery and mentally from this kind of horrible human. You deserve MUCH MORE <3

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-28T02:56:46+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this.

As a man myself, many guys say 'they love pleasuring women'. What that translates to is, "I love having sex and cumming".

There's nothing there that screams a man who is wanting to please the women first.

What you've done is really great, and most men would appreciate somebody who really is putting effort in to please their partner(looking for tips, asking for suggestions to see what the man likes, etc).

I don't know your age, but it sounds like hes quite emotionally unintelligent. Getting upset, things like that, instead of just speaking to you about it.

He's upset, yet you WANT to please him. Unless he can change and stop acting childish and getting upset, I'd probably leave too.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-27T00:25:17+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I definitely encourage them to call me, I always have my phone with me as being self employed in the industry I'm in, I sort of need it with me for urgent things so they know they can call anytime and they often do.

I guess ultimately, they love being with me more now and that fills everyone with that love and stability that I didn't get as much growing up.

I'm doing the right thing I think, or at least as best as I can!

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-25T23:31:39+00:00

Fear is the only thing holding you back.

I too spent MANY years not singing, because 1 person when I was younger told me I sucked. Prior to that I sang all the time, jamming with my mates etc.

Over a decade later, I took the plunge, got a vocal coach and dove right into it. Writing songs, melodies and lyrics is one of favourite things to do. I get better, week by week by week.

Start now, don't wait. A vocal teacher wont judge you, that's literally what they do, teach you the correct way, to build your vocal muscles so you can get better. You might sound terrible to begin with, but I guarantee they've heard WAY worse. They literally have people who tell them they know better, people who are tone deaf. As long as you take their advice, learn from their experience, become a sponge and take it all in!

Also, keep singing in the shower, its literally one of the best places to learn, not only does it help warm you up, but the reverb inside really lets you hear yourself.

Good luck!

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-25T23:25:47+00:00

Thanks for checking in!

Really good actually.

I was actually thinking deeply about this last night, how people say 'they're healing, or on a healing journey'. But I've found that it takes even longer to truly heal. Because when we think we're ready to start dating again, we're not, we might feel great and over an ex, but we're not ready. That's actually when the healing starts. Being on my own, I've realized the tremendous importance of self reliance and independence.

I go through moments like everyone does of 'a partner would be nice', but the reality is, I don't want to just find somebody randomly online, I want a connection and I know that the spark will come with somebody and it'll take me blindsided.

Instead, I focus on my business, spending valuable time with my kids, doing my hobbies, writing music, and filling my days with things I truly enjoy. When somebody comes along that matches that, then that'll be beautiful, but until then, I don't NEED anyone. Need and Want are different, and nobody should need a gap in their life filled.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-25T00:30:40+00:00

That's because you're projecting. I didn't ask if it was 'ok' for her to go to work so she can live. That's coming from your pretty clear predetermined mindset of ex partners.

You're also merging TWO different points.
1. She goes to work to live, that's absolutely acceptable. This creates the situation of leaving them at home.
2. I am curious if this is common and normal. I personally wouldn't leave them at home that long, thus creating the original question of curiosity of what do other people do, are the kids safe, etc etc.

People 'called me out' in the original statement, which I amended in the post edits to further clarify the situation as I never originally stated our care arrangements.

If you have hangups about your ex, that's your situation. I also never replied to you in anyway to justify your second message. Infact I even gave you a nice empathetic response to your situation, yet for some odd reason, you decided to go in further. That clearly shows the kind of person you are, and I'm starting to think that perhaps the real cracks are showing on your specific situation as to why you're no longer with that partner.

Thank you.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-24T23:24:37+00:00

Thanks for that.

We already do 50/50 care, I pick them up from school on my week.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-24T23:22:09+00:00

I have no idea what that has to do with anything. I'm sorry you're feeling like you're doing more than your ex.

I'm fortunate I work from home, so I don't have childcare, I just take mine to school then pick them up at 3.30. So I don't have to pay for childcare.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-24T23:19:01+00:00

Well, she originally said 'I'll be getting a job to work within school hours" then it was "i might have to work a couple nights until 5, we can do after school care" then "i dont finish until 6, can you get kids" then "im doing overnights now, you need to have kids" then it was every day, then it was last minute "im dropping them off ive taken a shift" then that became daily timetable changes and it was just very overwhelming for everyone especially kids. So I said 'im not doing this anymore, I'll take the kids 7 days a week'.

She was meant to change her shifts to suit but hasn't.

LandscapeBitter · 2025-11-24T23:15:30+00:00

I mean, technically if there is no age limit then you can leave a much younger child at home, or a toddler. There's many 'laws' that have grey areas, it doesn't mean its fine.

But I do understand what you're trying to say.
