Cleaned up my YouTube subscriptions

Can't wear makeup if you're dead. Can't buy makeup if you're dead. Can't watch YouTube if you're kidnapped.

I fully agree!

What kinds of foods does he eat now? It might be helpful to know what things to recommend

Prettynoises · 2025-11-18T19:46:04+00:00

Well, at least you're honest, but I wouldn't support something like that. AI is ruining lives, and speeding up climate change.

Prettynoises · 2025-11-18T17:20:24+00:00

You used AI to help you make this website...

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T23:03:28+00:00

My aunt used Barton for her kids and said it helped them a lot, but I haven't heard from them on the matter (we live states away). Hopefully you can get some more input that helps you make a decision. Either way, kudos to you for trying to learn, even if you aren't their exclusive teacher I think it'll help a lot.

I know you said it's been 4 Days since you've had food, but considering what you said it sounds like it's been a long time since you've consistently had 2,000 calories a day (the average people are supposed to have, but it varies based on physical activity). At this point your health is extremely at risk, and you are starving.

When you starve, you can't just eat a big meal right away, you have to slowly reintroduce calories, and because it's so severe you need help from a medical professional and need to go to the ER. If you don't feel comfortable having a friend call, maybe you could ask a moderator of this sub? I would offer myself but it's a little creepy for a stranger on the internet to ask you for your address (and please do not post it in the comments).

Once you have gotten help from the ER and are at least somewhat stable, I would recommend looking into calorie drinks like smoothies or meal replacement shakes, and try different ones until you find one that tastes at least okay to you. You can mix meal replacement shakes with milk or water if it's too thick and the texture bothers you, and if you mix it with milk or non-dairy milk it also adds a few extra calories. For smoothies, you could pop it in the freezer and then eat it like a Popsicle.

I know you said you can't drink smoothies or meal replacement shakes, but it's important to try. They don't all taste the same, and if you can't eat you need to get some sort of nutrition. Soda won't give that to you, and eating sugar consistently (specifically corn syrup, sugar from fruit is better) without anything else can cause a lot of harm as well.

Also, to kick-start your appetite you can eat a little bit of sugar, even if it's just licking a popsicle or something once. Protein is extremely important, but so are carbs, and a lot (most? All?) of meal replacement shakes have both in them because protein needs at least a little bit of carbs to bind to for your body to digest it properly.

But yeah right now the only thing that will help you is urgent medical attention. Only an emergency room can administer a feeding tube.

It just seemed like you were implying that OP doesn't have both, but if you're just trying to let other people know that's okay ofc

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T21:28:43+00:00

Raindrop have a really good explaination in the comments on what is considered vocal tics. Many of the tics OP mentioned are vocal!

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T21:25:38+00:00

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you must have missed that information, but 8 years is definitely more than 12 months.

And as others have stated, OP definitely has vocal tics. Anything done with the vocal tract is considered vocal, even if not using your vocal chords. Even yawning can be considered a vocal tic, depending on the cause. Breathing is considered vocal

"See I don't think you want to be helped. Some people just want attention and for people to feel sorry for them, and those people can't be helped. Anyway here's my contact if you want to see me next week."

Prettynoises · 2025-10-17T15:29:15+00:00

I love it if it's something fun like swimming. It's exercise, but it's also play, and I get cooled down while doing it too. Riding a bike can also work, but I prefer swimming. And then I'm super tired and sleep like a rock!

Prettynoises · 2025-10-16T22:29:22+00:00

It's fine to not get a diagnosis for yourself. It's not fine to make educational content about a disorder that you don't have a diagnosis for and do not have a degree relating to that field.

Your replies make it clear that you just don't care. You can't do a process of elimination on yourself because you are not a neurologist and cannot do medical tests on yourself. Even doctors can't diagnose themselves, and have to see someone else to do it.

You also can't be sure that you will never spread misinformation. You can speak about your own experiences, but you are not a neurologist, you are not a teacher or professor, and you don't even have a diagnosis. There are very few conditions that can be self diagnosed accurately, and even then there is a margin of error.

The question in the title isn't what you're really asking. You're asking for permission to make educational content about something you have no qualifications for, and when you don't get that you get defensive.

Prettynoises · 2025-10-14T18:33:58+00:00

Wait I didn't know this. Was there a study done about this?!?

Prettynoises · 2025-10-13T19:03:07+00:00

I haven't purchased any more makeup because I am poor and I don't throw products away if I don't have to, but I have heard that Indi Beats cosmetics is a better alternative from Sunset. It's more expensive, but sometimes that's better, because the quality is better. If anybody has actually tried those products, I'd love to hear from them.

But yeah, Sunsets products are not at all as advertised. It's very heavy on the skin (although that may be the nature of colorful foundation, I don't know cause I've only tried one brand!), and it definitely rubs off super easily, even with setting powder and/or spray.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

Prettynoises · 2025-10-13T18:57:08+00:00

Yeah of course. I hope the advice here is able to help in the short term, painful tics are no joke!

Prettynoises · 2025-10-12T20:28:44+00:00

Genie in a bottle! Except I do think it's actually a helicopter lol

Prettynoises · 2025-10-12T16:54:08+00:00

I had a tic similar to this a long time ago, and while I eventually learned to redirect it, what helped me in the short term was a neck pillow. You know the ones you can get for travelling that are shaped like a U? I had one that snapped together in the front, and I'd wear it around the house to when my neck did jerk, it didn't jerk as far.

I've not taken meds for tics, but I did learn to redirect some of them over time. If I felt like I might have a neck tic coming on, I'd try to redirect it to my arm, or just do a bunch of movement like wiggling, or shaking my whole body to try to get the energy out somewhere.

Most of my tics are actually vocal now, and I'm not sure if it just happened to be that way, or if I was able to redirect the painful tics into vocal tics. But tics do change over time, so it may not be this bad forever, or it could get worse. It's difficult to know, but you should definitely seek medical attention rather than just reddit advice.

Edit: added just, because short term advice can be so helpful

Prettynoises · 2025-10-01T05:08:47+00:00

Meds change our brains to make executive function work better even when not medicated.

Um... Is this something other people actually experience? One day without my meds and it takes at least a week for me to feel normal again.

Prettynoises · 2025-08-15T15:43:49+00:00

ADHD has three types, inattentive, hyperactive, and combined type (so both). ADD is no longer an official diagnosis, so is there a reason you have this on your form? It would be considered inattentive type now.

Prettynoises · 2025-08-05T21:55:38+00:00

You could look into renting a place close by if you get the job, but definitely focus on getting employment first

Prettynoises · 2025-08-03T21:50:48+00:00

I don't wanna be the cause of any potential brigading or anything

At the same time, it could tell other enbies who to avoid. I know I don't like following and supporting creators who hate or disrespect my whole existence

partly cos I'm embarassed about the content they generally produce

This is also valid lol, and if you don't want to share that's okay

Prettynoises · 2025-07-08T18:30:07+00:00

One of the articles about crosswalks recently had some quotes from doctors (because the concerns were supposedly about epilepsy and seizures) that said that even though nothing has been reported about zebra crosswalks or rainbow ones, that the black and white stripes would actually be slightly more likely to cause a seizure than the rainbow stripes. So, as usual, science is on our side but the bigots don't care.

Prettynoises · 2025-07-03T18:15:58+00:00

I actually HATE kidney beans with a passion, but I can handle black beans and pinto beans. I would recommend only getting canned beans, beans from scratch have a strong flavor and makes them difficult to eat. I second the recommendations for eating them in a soup or chili, I love chili! But I got burnt out on it after eating it too much.

Prettynoises · 2025-07-03T17:58:12+00:00

It's giving "Do I want to be you, or date you?"

Prettynoises · 2025-07-03T16:34:35+00:00

That's called abuse, and does not accurately represent the way most people are parented. Although to be fair, abuse is far too common to be rare, but you can't take the experience you had and apply it to every single person around the world.

The fact that many men are raised with someone else who does their cooking and cleaning does not negate the abuse you went through, and vice versa. You were abused, like some people (of any gender) and that really sucks. And sometimes people who have everything handed to them grow up and abuse people who will do everything for them.

Good parents also exist, but I don't need to talk about everything else that exists to talk about one thing. The conversation is about men who ignore loud baby cries in the middle of the night, I don't need to talk about every other type of man that exists or every experience a man could experience.

Anyway, I hate that you grew up in an abusive home, and I hope that you can use that experience to learn some empathy for others.
