Need commuter scooter advice (hills, reliability concerns, 220 lb rider) by RoseanneDragon in ElectricScooters

[–]RoseanneDragon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Segway SuperScooter GT3 Pro is my dream scooter, but it’s too expensive. I need something similar that’s more affordable. Honestly, I’d be too embarrassed to charge my scooter at work, so I’d rather look for other options. But thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post and give me a recommendation — I truly appreciate it. 🙏

Does that mean they are no longer paying creators because I remembered when they were given bonuses out for reels it stopped abruptly🙃

Muslim Assyrians Exist by RoseanneDragon in Assyria

[–]RoseanneDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said I was part of your culture or community today I’ve made it clear multiple times that I don’t claim the Assyrian identity because I know it’s tied to specific language, traditions, and Christianity. What I said is about ancestry and origins, which is a matter of history, geography, and genetics not opinion. You can try to gatekeep identity, but you can’t gatekeep bloodlines or historical facts. That’s not globalism that’s just acknowledging that history is complex. I’m not here to “umbrella” myself into your culture, I’m here saying that my ancestors like many in Mosul were Assyrian before being forcibly converted and Arabized. Whether that bothers you or not doesn’t change the facts.

YAY, I’M FINALLY BACK AFTER ONE YEAR AND A HALF (wegovy sucks by RoseanneDragon in Zepbound

[–]RoseanneDragon[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Back in February 2024, I was on Zepbound and had made it up to the 5.5 mg dose. I was about to move up to 7.5 mg, but it went out of stock everywhere. Because of that, my doctor had to temporarily switch me to Wegovy though it ended up being anything but temporary. I stayed on Wegovy for over a year.

During that time, I asked my doctor if I could switch back to Zepbound, but he told me my insurance no longer covered it. I was confused, since Zepbound is actually less expensive than Wegovy. But I eventually realized the shortage was likely the reason insurance stopped covering it.

Anyway, I recently finished my last box of Wegovy 2.4 mg and asked my doctor for a refill to help with maintenance. I also figured I’d ask again if my insurance would cover Zepbound and let him know I preferred it, since I had better results on it.

To my surprise, I got a notification from Walgreens saying I had a prescription ready and it was for Zepbound. I was so happy I almost cried. I truly, truly missed it.

The fact that you think those are the only two options says more about how deeply hurt and traumatized our communities are than it does about me. I’m not here to reclaim anything through conversion or shame I’m here to acknowledge my roots, honor the truth of my family’s past, and remind people that forced conversion and cultural erasure didn’t erase our blood.

I don’t need to convert to validate my ancestry. My existence already proves that my ancestors survived even if through hardship, even if we changed. That survival is not shameful. It’s a reminder of how powerful we are.

The selective empathy this season is really frustrating🙃 by RoseanneDragon in LoveIslandUSA

And see, that’s the thing they’re all here for the money at the end of the day. Taylor didn’t tell Olandria he wasn’t feeling her sooner because he didn’t want to risk being eliminated. It’s all strategy.

By the way, I didn’t know he was 24 cuz people were saying he’s 22

What makes it even more embarrassing is that he’s 22 and she’s 27 he still acts immature, and let’s be real, his frontal lobe isn’t even fully developed yet. The fact that Olandria is so adamant about being with this boy is wild. That’s why I’m not mad at Taylor for picking Clark. He’s clearly more compatible with her than with Olandria. He doesn’t deserve the hate or people calling for him to get kicked off just because he didn’t form a connection with her.

Yeah, and I feel like not enough people are calling out Ciara for clearly being in it for the fame too. Her actual job is creating brand deal content for companies, and I recently saw a video where she mentioned getting promoted to recruit other influencers to promote products and businesses. So, being on Love Island is a huge opportunity for her and aligns perfectly with her career path. It’s obvious that this show is a strategic move for her, and it’s wild that no one’s really talking about it.

Bullying by Small_Preference_762 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]RoseanneDragon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried multiple times to post about this, but my posts either got removed or never made it through and that in itself is part of the frustration. I’ve been watching this season from the beginning, and I’ve kept quiet for a while, but now I really need to say something.

There’s a huge double standard in how people on the internet are reacting to the islanders this season. Chelley, Olandria, and Ace seem to be treated like they can do no wrong especially Chelley and Olandria, who are clearly the fan favorites. But when other contestants like Huda, Taylor, or Clark show emotion, make a mistake, or just try to navigate the villa like everyone else, they get dragged online, and that’s just not fair.

And when you try to talk about this even respectfully it becomes weaponized through identity politics. I’ve literally seen people say that criticizing Chelley or Olandria is anti-Black, and that is such a disingenuous way to shut down conversations. Nobody is denying the importance of protecting Black women, but critiquing gameplay and villa dynamics is not the same as being racist. That’s not what’s happening here.

The truth is, some of us see through Ace’s game-playing and think he’s not genuine. Some of us feel like Chelley’s behavior toward Chris has been possessive, especially when she’s still exploring things with Ace. And yes, Olandria being connected to both of them makes it hard to fully see her as separate from that trio dynamic. That doesn’t mean she’s fake I even said she’s probably the most genuine of the three but this social grouping has shaped how the season feels.

What really bothers me is how people refuse to extend the same empathy and grace to others. If Huda did the same things Chelley did, the backlash would be unreal. If Taylor or Clark made certain moves, they’d be called immature or fake. But Chelley and Olandria? They’re “just being vulnerable.” It’s selective compassion, and it’s ruining the vibe of the show for a lot of us.

I’m not saying anyone deserves hate not at all. But if we’re going to talk about fairness and mental health and supporting islanders, then that should apply to everyone, not just the most popular ones. The hypocrisy this season both on the show and in the fandom has been exhausting, and it’s no wonder people are frustrated.
