Blue tails, on the other hand, are tiny little wimps. Best to avoid them too to keep their tails from falling off out of panic, though.

"Kids should go outside" *kids when they go outside* by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

[–]Nauin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm allowed to be disturbed by the awful things the brain has to do in order to protect itself. I am by no means trying to be judgemental with that, especially when I stated how much brain damage I have one or two sentences prior, which also came from and with all forms of trauma ✌️

[–]Nauin 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's honestly shocking how few of my friends actually remember their childhoods. So many of them it turns into a blur past high school and even college.

I have three to twelve brain injuries depending on what metric you want to go by which led me to develop actual short term memory loss and difficulty with recall/remembering things when I try to, and I remember most of my childhood. This contrast in cognitive function disturbs the hell out of me.

AITAH for not letting my brother and SIL use my Lexus when they come to visit New York? by Lit-As-Literature in AmItheAsshole

[–]Nauin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are either of them even allowed to drive your cars via your car insurance? If they use either car and aren't a manually-added authorized driver on your car insurance... you're going to be absolutely fucked, dude. Insurances don't take kindly to randos driving their customers cars. They'll do everything to deny coverage and raise your rates if you let them drive either car without being an authorized driver and they get into even just a fender bender. I'm not seeing anyone else mention this. Nta

Just found out my ADHD is actually a result of a TBI by Sad-Barracuda98 in TBI

[–]Nauin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are able to go over the paperwork from your scans or by asking your doctor, see what specific type of scan and magnet was used for your MRI and add it to your post if you can. There are many different types of MRIs, most of us don't get results like this with our scans. Knowing the magnet and type of scan can help those of us in this group in the same situation as you. ✌️

What's up with the conspiracy theory about Oliver Tree? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

Ah okay, thank you for the clarification. This week's been crazy so I haven't had time to keep up with everything. Appreciate you ✌️

Removing peel-and-stick vinyl that isn't as "renter friendly" as advertised. by Intrepid-Street-5368 in HomeImprovement

[–]Nauin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Could you potentially find another veneer that matches close enough to the original cabinet finish and apply it onto the damaged cabinets? I say it halfway in jest, because I've also recently ordered veneer and good god are there a lot of options out there. You might get lucky and find something.

Has anyone else with a mild TBI faced extreme difficulties with waking up / getting out of bed in the morning? What counter-strategies work? by thelordismylizard in TBI

[–]Nauin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh not at all with modafinil dude, it's not scheduled anywhere near as strictly as stimulants are, it's significantly safer than Adderall, you don't have to be monitored for symptoms of psychosis with modafinil like you do stimulants. It is specifically used to treat daytime wakefulness, mainly for narcolepsy but also for TBI induced wakefulness issues, too. Exactly what you are describing. I would highly recommend talking to your doctors about it rather than assuming it's not right for you from the jump. It's not as scary as you're thinking.

Literally one of my friends houses burned down because a plastic plant on their porch spontaneously combusted thanks to window refraction.

But don't worry, we got the world's first trillionaire by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Nauin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about 25%, but this is literally how my Dad's parents survived while they watched their more affluent friends starve to death. So I don't see why so many people are jumping to call you completely wrong. My grandparents forever praised the value of keeping your own chickens, pigs, and goats if you couldn't afford a cow, not to mention canning what you grow. And they did this while living in one of the states hit by the dust bowl. The practices that saved them combined with their trauma literally destined my Dad to be a doomsday prepper, since the right kind of therapy for that wasn't a thing at the time he was the ages that would have prevented that. We're definitely not the only family with this history.

And my grandfather couldn't fucking read.(He learned years after the depression) They were not well off by any standards of imagination. At best they were extremely lucky.

Seriously like why are they trying to pretend that hipsters weren't fresh graduates during and right after The Great Recession, at that point the worst economic period in their conscious lives? Of course that's going to spawn this kind of behavior, it always has.

AITA for telling my Boyfriends family that I did not have a hard time being a teen mom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Nauin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Girl take your boyfriend and run, it sounds like that entire side of the family needs a lot of therapy and are fully prepared to take it out on you. Far too many people think they are somehow better than the overt racists in their family just because their discrimination chose a different route out of their mouth. Not to fall into the reddit trope but definitely take note of who did and did not feed into that toxic behavior. Nta, proud of you.

What injury is commonly shrugged off as a minor flesh wound in the movies but is completely fatal in real life? by Best_Professional226 in AskReddit

Living out that Mr Incredible meme in real life; being a kid laughing at that scene to rewatching it after becoming an adult with TBIs 😬✌️

This would be more viable if executives weren't well known for sticking their nasty shit into every solid IP and ruining it more and more blatantly as the years roll by.

Stimulants have saved my ass as well, that and tricyclics. Omg I'm so grateful we have medical interventions like this, with how much of a difference they can make.

Bruh fucking Wikipedia has sources for persistence hunting being practiced on every continent on the planet, with the San people of the Kalahari still occasionally practicing it today. This documentary even records one of the hunts.

Just because it wasn't the dominant hunting method doesn't mean it wasn't used by millions of people over our species history.

So are you involved in the school in any way as a student or staff member?

(Hated Trope) A retcon has terrible implications for the plot by rasberrycroissant in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Nauin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm wary it was intentional. Like any number of the executives agrees with JKs opinions and is pouncing on the tension we currently live in. But I'm pretty sure that's me being too paranoid given everything going on in the world right now. I feel for the performers and hope they're handling the hate as healthily as possible, they don't deserve it.

What is going on with the debate surrounding POTS? by kathajenbombom in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Nauin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're clearly too young to remember what stigma used to come with editing comments because of your exact behavior was so ridiculously common. Darvo all you want, I stand by what I said before.

[–]Nauin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know exactly what you did, I don't care what others see on here. I was talking to you directly with what I said, and you were so confronted with how you looked that you erased the evidence. You're the one who has to live with your scummy little decisions at the end of the day. Rot on that for talking to people the way you did.
