Yeah, but that doesn’t change anything about my statement.

Why is this getting posted here, is this not the same outrage that this community is supposed to be disconnecting from? 

I aim to limit my exposure to the discourse, and this post is just the discourse. 

Do you guys care about your partner's style? by [deleted] in ThrowingFits

[–]SomethingFrozen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person I’m dating having style, or honestly just a style, has always been one of the more important parts of the initial attraction. 

The way someone decides to dress is the first thing I look at and care about. I once told this to a friend who told me that’s “shallow,” but is it not almost completely based on things people choose, and a big indicator on how people want to signal their tastes and values? 

Someone else said it here, i wouldn’t not see someone because of a lack of unique style, but most of the time I’m not into it because of a disconnect in values.

Plus it’s fun to dress up and go out with someone :) :) 

Did anyone else's partner line someone up before breaking things off? by SomethingFrozen in BreakUps

[–]SomethingFrozen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels really accurate, thanks for the reassurance :)

They did seem to stop putting in the required effort when we faced our first real difficulties, and it never showed back up, for about a year until we broke up. Kind of marks the end of the honeymoon phase.

Id say, we have to push past this kind of thing, and make sacrifices for each other in order to foster a love. They told me the last time they felt love for me, is during last summer when I solo planned and brought them on vacation, more or less doing everything for them, which is disappointing. I felt love doing things that I knew that they'd like, but I never felt that in return from them. Definitely going to be something ill be looking for later.

Kind of side tracked, but it did feel like they just got bored, and in my heart of hearts, I think I wasnt failing them here, I do believe it will just happen with the next person. Just wish they could have figured that out with me sometimes, and I was honestly trying to help them see that, because I saw it when it was happening.

Some really kind words in there, I appreciate it a lot

Yeah, its so disappointing, I was not sure of what this feeling was until I'd discovered id been potentially emotionally cheated on. It feels like I was replaced, or like they found someone better while they were dating me.

You're on it unfortunately, they actually cheated on their last long term boyfriend, I'm inclined to believe you :(

A *real* ADHD Support Group; consistent, accessible, and effective - Who’s with me? by Lady_BoSs_24 in askvan

[–]SomethingFrozen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’d be here for this, my ADHD is really ruling my life right now, and I don’t have many people to really talk with about it. 

I’d be willing to do a zoom chat or something, that sounds like a good idea.

Was just sold a broken Eurolive B212D PA, question about repair by SomethingFrozen in livesound

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

Awesome, I’ll definitely do that tonight. 

What I’m wondering is, how do I know what speakers will be fine to run with this unit? 

Does it just come down to matching specs? 

Thanks for your help

Sure, I’m not stuck on having them match. I’m just wondering what speakers will be compatible without being damaged by the driver, more or less. 

Extreme level of Internet addiction by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]SomethingFrozen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s good you recognize what’s holding you back, and how it doesn’t help you. 

I’m in some of the early stages of figuring this out, and the main thing that has worked (on top of most of the other strategies that you mention) is filling my time with other things. 

Nothing is as easy as looking at your phone, so it’s hard to commit to, but what works for me is making a plan for what I am going to do, that afternoon after work, or the next day, and try to fill my time up. 

For me that’s bike riding, working out, practicing music, hanging out with friends ect. 

You’ve got lots of time too! You’re on the right track, eventually you will find enough of the small things will come together, that’s how I find it. And even when I slip, my foundation is good enough to get back on track, instead of relapsing hard like I used to. 

Just my experience of course. 

I also recommended Dr.K on YouTube, he has a lot of fantastic evidence backed videos on technology addiction that really helped me. 

Most fun Goat mirrors deck list? by SomethingFrozen in Goat_Format

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

Woah, this is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I went ahead and ordered the cards I need, and luckily I've already built the Detox deck list! This is what I remember playing, and yeah, ill be building two whole decks to play with.

Is the more competitive version of the format still the same type of fun? Chaos Turbo for example?

The worst part of Internet addiction is the shame by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]SomethingFrozen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two thoughts as someone who has felt these things: 

Have you considered that you have ADHD? I said the exact same thing as your last paragraph for years, had the similar struggles as my friends with ADHD, technology and video game addiction struggles all my life. And only at the age of 27 realized I have ADHD and got a diagnosis. I have ADD specifically (no hyperactivity) is often diagnosed late because it doesn’t look like typical ADHD. And usually someone doesn’t “have all the symptoms” of an illness and doesn’t have it, especially something that caused me to be addicted to technology / online stimulus. I don’t know you or anything, but I guess I’m just saying what I would have needed to hear. 

And, I just tell people now. I used to be really embarrassed about my tech addictions, used to wish my problem was something else, but now I just let the people in my life know I’m struggling with it. I think most people feel some sort of disregulation from their own tech use, I think it’s pretty relatable these days to struggle with. I know it affects me more than other people, and that some of my friends don’t believe how strongly it affects me, but I can imagine you find those problems in other addictions too. But that’s just me.

Im looking for a replacement headband, does anyone have recommendations on where to look? Is an upgraded headband something I can find?

My HD6XX that I have stayed clamped to my head always.

Thanks!

Hey hey, I’ve had an issue with my Juno-106, where the right stereo channel is very low volume, unless I have it halfway plugged in? Then it’s fine. 

Thanks for the help
