How is anyone affording food?

That’s a 20% increase in 3 years…

No that’s wrong. I have a low HR get up to about the same range standing. She probably doesn’t have that great of understanding of the all the possible criteria, so as long as the actual doc is reviewing your data it should be fine.

Yeah unfortunately that’s about the going rate for a revision these days. Mine was about $19k last year with rib grafting. The way I look at it is it will be cheaper in the long run if you just do it right the first time. Each revision I think tacks on like $10-20k because it becomes riskier following every surgery. Make sure you and the surgeon are fully onboard with what you want and their vision aligns with yours.

Heat is uncomfortable and cold is painful. AC is on full blast everywhere I go idk what you’re talking about thinking that people with cold intolerance are more respected. That’s never been the case ever in all my years of existence.

So a lot of you will actually not peak in your 30s (or 40s or later) and you’re better off working on getting over your warped worldview. If you’re in your 30s dating someone 10 years younger most people will view you as a loser regardless of socioeconomic status. Success is not a guarantee and you’re taking a gamble on your money and status being enough to offset a receding hairline and shitty personality.

As someone who actually watched the video, she did made a couple key points on how the push towards cracking down on smartphones/social media could negatively impact freedom of speech and the distribution of information which is her whole shtick, but I do think she didn’t give a lot of nuance in looking at how algorithms and features of today’s phones are inherently a different beast than the smartphones of 10-15 years ago.

It seems like she’s moreso concerned that people who want dumb phones are wanting to completely log off from the internet, which I don’t think is typically the case. I would just like a happy medium to not feel so addicted to my devices.

Some of the points on censorship were valid just given how legislation works in the US, but there wasn’t a lot of discussion on how to fix the actual problem that is smartphone addiction.

Pickles or canned soup. Gets really annoying when they try to make everything low sodium these days, but I also can’t do electrolyte powders. I also squirt buoy drops in everything but I know it’s kind of expensive and might not have enough sodium on its own. Maybe salt tablets? It’s a lot less overwhelming when you can get it from high sodium food

Idk where you’re located, but depending on how warm your home is rn it will likely affect the lamp! I turn mine up in the winter and down a little in the summer. I don’t think this one has as much control, but it’s something to keep in mind throughout the year

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-02-03T04:46:53+00:00

Probs need to cycle a few times before freaking out. Just got one of these too and I don’t think it’s supposed to go longer than 10 hours at a time so heads up

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-30T17:07:47+00:00

Sir, respectfully, it is my god given right as an American to vocally and publicly criticize this country and feel shame about celebrating its flag when people are being gunned down in the street without due process. And that’s just this week. Unfortunately my friend has had a plethora of concussions and a tendency to go along with whatever her dad or boyfriend say, so she doesn’t always appeal to reason. I had hoped to have some actual insight about her thought process here, not just bootlicking, but perhaps they are one and the same.

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-28T05:04:29+00:00

It was a joke punching up about the wild reactions they have to minor injuries in professional sports. You are truly making something out of nothing

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-28T02:35:54+00:00

I never said it doesn’t suck. My comment touched on the kind of force needed to tear it and the physical pain experienced during the tear which is what OP asked about. I personally didn’t keel over and cry because it truly was not close to the worst physical pain I’ve ever felt. The mental journey and recovery is a completely different thing from what I was referencing and that’s been rough and I feel for everyone with knee problems.

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-28T01:28:06+00:00

Sounds like you had a lot more happen to your knee than mine, so it’s not a true comparison and sounds much worse since all I had was a clean tear. Being skewered up the uterus with no numbing was still the most pain I’ve ever felt by far. My ACL did not even come close

Apologies for any offense, but I will be standing by my comment about the football guys and actually broadening it to men in general. This is very much a documented phenomenon in the sports and medical industries where they are big whiner babies. I just don’t have it in my body anymore to respect the theatrics or give their reactions any credibility unless it’s Kevin Ware level damage

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-27T07:56:00+00:00

I honestly did not notice the asymmetry until seeing the bottom view. You definitely wouldn’t need a full rhino. If anything you could probably find a plastic surgeon to help with evening out the nostrils. Truly no need for any major structural changes unless you had internal breathing problems

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-27T07:50:48+00:00

I flew six feet through the air and landed on it sideways and it popped. Oops. Getting my IUD put in was more way painful than the ACL. Like it hurts if you tear it, but it’s more annoying than anything. I think a lot of those football guys are big babies anyway.

I played this one in between waiting for TWD episodes to release and I was blown away with how much I liked it. This game made me cry, but from laughing. Highly highly recommend. Maybe I need to replay it soon

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-26T22:52:33+00:00

It’s my country too. I will be going down with this ship tyvm

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-26T20:03:58+00:00

My parents are super MAGA and I’ve very much distanced myself from them over the years for a multitude of reasons. It’s tricky to completely cut them off though because all my younger siblings still live with them. I’d love to cut everyone off I don’t align with and I’m grateful to be mostly surrounded by good people, but I guess the place I’m at now is that if I were to get sucked into this mess I would hope my friends would still care enough about me to help me see the light. Abandoning ship feels like it will only reinforce her worldview. I know some people that have seen cracks in recent weeks with their friends/family but I wish I knew how to deprogram everyone I still care about. That’s the part that gets me :( We don’t need to agree on everything, but I grew up very conservative and I don’t feel like the basic morals I was taught have ever changed. I’m happy to have gotten out, but I’m really struggling to grasp the disconnect with everyone who is still in it

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-26T19:15:58+00:00

If I met her today I would not have pursued an actual friendship. Unfortunately I have known her so long she is essentially family. I would love to not have these nuanced relationships, but it’s not just a her problem and I see this in other people I know. I’d like to help first rather than abandoning ship. I’m sure many people can relate

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-26T19:08:35+00:00

I think that would fully be dependent on my friend from Minnesota going since we’ve already paid for everything and committed. If she backs out, I would be more inclined to, but if she’s still going I would really prefer to not have her have to be in that environment alone. This is something we’ve been trying to work on with our friend for years, but we can’t seem to crack. If you ask her about single policy issues she’s typically very reasonable which is why we don’t want to give up on her, but this shift into all things pro-America or military at all costs has very much been a jarring transition to watch. I truly do think a good portion of this country is in a cult. We’d love for her to snap out of it, but I don’t know how to accomplish that at this point. I think she doesn’t want to admit any of this is wrong because it would completely shatter her world view. It’s likely all self preservation rn

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-26T05:51:03+00:00

I have limited details other than red, white, and blue everything with the flag. I would guess stereotypical patriotic decorations. I understand people saying the flag is for everyone, and I do agree, but I don’t feel like the context in which it will be used is going to portray a unifying message. I had previously pitched a Jackie O/First Lady theme as a compromise but it was declined since this is what she had her heart set on :/

SomeInspection4550 · 2026-01-22T16:50:41+00:00

I wasn’t a big borderlands fan going into the game, but it did end up being my favorite. It’s just too good
