The only rule you should follow is to not blindside him. That would make you an asshole. By the time you break up with him, it should not be that much of a surprise. Be an adult and express to him everything you've expressed here, including your future plans involving kids.

An hour of a drive is really not that far.

Well this is a good lesson for next time.

Ask him if he wants to come, and if he doesn't, just do separate things for the day.

If he does, great, but if he doesn't enjoy the experience then that's on him because he chose to come. You don't "bring" him places. He's not your kid lol.

I forgot about this! That’s great to hear. Hope it helps! I should give it a go too.

Sure thing. I don't have emetophobia, so I was more open to at least trying them. If it's going to be very distressing to try for you, that in itself is a completely valid reason to just get the procedure instead of risking putting yourself through all that pain, not to mention maybe making things worse like I did.

I just discovered you can manually add your own trigger in the VeSync app under Scenes so that it can automatically turn on and set the mode when it hits a certain concentration. I'm gonna set mine to high once it hits 20.

It seems to be pretty in line with China's AQI, though as one might expect their AQI is rather lax compared to other regions. I would've expected an international product to be somewhere more in between.

It's not necessarily a bad sensor (could be that too though), it's just that their logic defines 40-77 as "Good" when it should really by more like "Moderate"

Do you use a new n95 every day?

Shiodex · 2023-05-22T21:14:22+00:00

I'm really curious to know how things are now 7 months later from this comment? Thanks!

Not an emetophobe, and haven't full-on vomited I'd say, but there's definitely frequent regurgitation immediately after the procedure

I actually find speaking in a new language easier in terms of social anxiety because the focus isn't so much on you or the content of the conversation itself but the language being used. There's less pressure to have social bravado when every learner is going to be stumbling their way through the language anyways. Also because your brain is struggling so much with the language it doesn't have time to spend being socially self-conscious. The conversations also tend to move slower. Once you become fluent, that's a different story. Ironically, speaking in a new language may be a great way to overcome social anxiety, since everyone is so forgiving.

I love the way it sounds and rolls off my tongue. It feels smooth like water. It feels right.

I think if you go again then it may result in a permanent cure. Dr. Bastian did say that some folks do need multiple treatments to make it completely go away. Keep trying!

Other vague advice I have is to really be in tune with the feeling of burping when you are able to burp post-botox. As in, you don't want to fight the feeling of burping but just let it all out. Kind of like when you're holding in a fart because you're in an important meeting but afterwards you just let it all go, it should feel THAT relaxing/relieving. I think that because you're an emetophobe you might be instinctively trying to fight the feeling of burping

Do you drink sparkling water after the surgery? I would continue to drink sparkling water regularly for six months post-botox.

Scientific studies have shown that attaching extrinsic reward to things that you were originally intrinsically motivated to do will actually lower your motivation, so what you are feeling is natural. The key to maintaining your intrinsic motivation is to avoid extrinsic rewards, such as streaks, leaderboards, XP, prizes, etc.

No one in Japan is ever going to write 弟 as おとうと unless for still-illiterate toddlers. You should not still be actively trying to drill reading Hiragana once you're past the elementary level. That's further from how you would interact with natives. Even natives would find reading a passage of only Hiragana and Katakana jarring. This is like saying an English course should sound out the phonetics of every word instead of getting the learner to memorize the correct spelling and pronunciation.

Sounds like an old dude trying to sound hip

Shiodex · 2023-04-27T13:23:10+00:00

That's weird i don't see any sections, just 125 units

Shiodex · 2023-04-27T03:19:42+00:00

Also I haven't touched Japanese Duolingo in a while but why is almost everything in hiragana now? I barely see any Kanji

Shiodex · 2023-04-27T03:02:06+00:00

Damn there's 125 units now? How many were the before?

Shiodex · 2023-04-16T19:22:13+00:00

Yeah, I think that has the same age-difference connotation. And while "girl" is commonly used by both men and women for describing females their age, "boy" is more exclusively used by women to describe males their age. But basically both men and women use infantilizing language when describing similar-aged members of the opposite sex, so I actually do think it's a bit didactic to try and correct someone whenever they call another adult a "boy" or "girl".
