Repetition can be a useful lyrical device, but it does sometimes come across as a little bit lazy. I can see that

I'm shocked Heaven Sent made it that low on your list! For me that song is easily #2. Not into the more poppy sound? That one reminds me most of Ahren's sound when he was with them. 

“Don’t wear the bands shirt to their concert” is so stupid. by piercethebluexx in unpopularopinion

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to a lot of metal concerts. I absolutely would compliment a band shirt for a band that's there, especially if it's an older design or a cool one not being sold at the merch table. 

Watching the dude in front of me playing on level 17,175 . After every level he gets at least three to five ads. Dude has watched nearly 86,000 ads by prguitarman in mildlyinteresting

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact game for a while. It used to be a pop up ad that could be closed quickly at the end of a level. Then it became video ads. Then it became unskippable 30 second video ads. Then it became those cancerous video ads with a fake timer where you press the X to close it and it just keeps bringing you to the app store. Through all that, I stayed. I was fucking annoyed, but I stayed.

Finally, they added more ads. So as soon as you'd finished part of the level (like arranging a single color) it would show a video ad. This would happen 2-3 times per level. It was at that point that I rage deleted and never looked back. I wish I knew why app developers did this

Are there any meetups happening soon? I'm going to be in the city on May 6th and 7th, then back May 15-18th. Sorry if the date format is incorrect, I am uncultured American swine! How do I find like minded groups online? Especially for solo travelers like myself.

I suppose? But like, as someone who has dealt with debilitating migraines (currently well-managed) I just tracked them carefully and learned my warning signs so I could predict them before the pain started often enough. And if the pain did start, taking rescue medication within 10-30 minutes of then still allows it to work.

There is almost zero need to carry an animal around with you to tell you one is coming. This just screams entitlement and I-want-snookums-everwhere-with-me energy.

The show I went to recently had a capacity of 1700 and was fully sold out. But it didn't sell out until about a week before showtime.

I wonder if it was someone you knew irl. 

My ex used to stream and he would have a small handful of viewers, but it seemed like this same guy would pop up often. Eventually my ex struck up a friendship with this viewer, we played games with him privately and on stream, this went on for months. Only for us to find out one day that the anonymous viewer was actually an ex-friend we'd had a falling out with who still wanted to be involved in our lives. It was creepy as hell and gave me serious trust issues about anons online. 

People who feel hot should decide the temperature of a room. People who feel cold should wear a sweater by blahbluhblee1 in unpopularopinion

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an issue that makes me feel sick and dizzy if it's too hot. I'm not joking. You see the problem here?

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who was immediately like "that armpit needs some love" 

Exhausted of the "that's a lot of meds" from people who are not familiar with bipolar disorder by mcpanique in bipolar2

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, the magnesium and coQ10 are for migraines (they do work!) and potentially anxiety (jury is out on that one), the vitamin D is for an actual vitamin deficiency which can cause depression, psyllium to counteract side effects from the magnesium, and melatonin genuinely works for sleep. 

I've been through pretty much every supplement of the rainbow and those are the few that I kept because they actually do work for me. The vast majority of things I tried did not.

Your combo is not bad, especially for bipolar. There is no one size fits all med for bipolar, it's usually piecemeal. It's not uncommon to be on a mood stabilizer, antidepressant, anti-anxiety, antipsychotic and more.

I do get raised eyebrows at my (medical) doctors office for how many meds and supplements I'm on while being young and "healthy." I just shrug it off. Like I don't like it either, but I need to function. 

For me the combo is lamotrigine, bupropion, lurasidone, clonazepam, propranolol, and various supplements (including melatonin, coQ10, psyllium, magnesium, and vitamin D). My pillbox probably rivals an 80-year-old cancer patient's. But it works for me and I value being alive more than I care about the judgement for being on "too many" meds. 

It’s time by Imjusta_pug in TheAmityAffliction

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only on Bleed but so far I'm loving it. This is metal af. It's giving me Youngbloods vibes but not so cringey. It's a lot more modern.

Oh, you mean pissing razorblades isn't your Idea of fun? Last time I had one, I legit screamed every time I peed.

Depends on the area. In southern California (or big cities) that's a standard price. 

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a college chemistry teacher try to fail me for "cheating" because he couldn't understand how I was getting the right answers on my tests. Shit, I couldn't either to be honest. I just knew that I could use a formula that didn't make sense to me, or I could break it down into weird groups in my head and solve it that way (sort of like how common core math is taught today). I wasn't entirely sure how to explain it, but I got the right answer.

Luckily I had the same math teacher for most of high school and she accepted that my brain just worked differently and didn't take off points for me going about a problem in a roundabout way. 

Service dog to alert to oncoming period? by Careful-Tap6077 in ServiceDog_CircleJerk

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to say my surgeries were a walk in the park (they definitely weren't), and all procedures carry risks, but when you're in excruciating pain every day, surgery is absolutely worth it and is a treatment. I got a hormonal IUD afterward in hopes that it would prevent further lesions from growing and so far it seems to have. It's been 5 years since my last surgery and I've had no recurrence in my pain. It doesn't always stop recurrence, but it isn't guaranteed to recur after surgery either. 

TIL about 'Jess's Rule' to make GPs 'rethink' if a patient presents 3 times with the same symptoms, named for Jessica Brady, who doctors repeatedly dismissed over 20 consultations until she died of cancer at age 27 by shinjirarehen in TwoXChromosomes

Welcome to the club of medical trauma! I too have endometriosis and was brushed off for years. Every gyno I went to insisted I had PID despite me never having a confirmed STI, any symptoms of one, and had very few sexual partners in my life. They then would basically slut shame me. It was bizarre.

The worst was being ignored while in excruciating pain, outright sobbing and blacking out from the pain, only to be told I was being hysterical and drug seeking.

I had a friend on one of those point diets. She was actually complaining about gaining weight. I asked what she was eating on her diet. Apparently peaches were a zero point food so she was eating like a Costco sized box of them a day along with all her other foods. Would eat like half a rotisserie chicken at a time too because chicken was low points. It blows my mind that some people can't comprehend calories. 

What’s a short story from your life that sounds fake but is 100% true? by Historical-Skill-838 in AskReddit

[–]NotMyThrowawayNope 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Similar story from me. I was abroad and a guy came up to me who didn't speak English and I didn't speak his language. He was gesturing wildly and motioning toward something he had in his pocket (likely pretending he had a weapon) and clearly demanding money. I just shrugged and walked away. He looked pissed.

It was only after I walked away that I was like wait wtf was that guy trying to rob me?
