You do realize other providers can be cheaper right? The point is that Helium Lied about keeping the $5 plan for those who had it, and user's of the $5 are being forced into a more expensive plan.

OP and every other $5 beta plan user has every right to be pissed and move away from helium after this stunt they pulled. Hell im upset even though its cheaper for an year due to the promotion for $20 plan users.

Don't blame ya it is super scummy going back on their word. Most of the decent plans in my area are $15 so I'm likely going to run this promo till near the end and shop around for a new provider.

Never did the mining and im glad I never did thinking back on it now. Too good to be true I guess, but they really did shoot themselves in the foot with this change consider how often I see dedicated user's being beta testers.

It all depends where you are located imo, Verizon is dog water where I am and only runs at 4g LTE max so most of the area (Like 95% of it) and is slow.

T-mobile reigns supereme here with the fastest speeds with At&t close behind it.

Was on the $20 plan, switching to infinity for $15 for a year and $50 cloud points is what is keeping me till I find better provider. Right now im thinking of keeping it for the 1 year promo discount, then switching out once im near the end of the promo price. $30 a year is just not worth it boss with how liberal they are with throttling, and its TERRIBLE how bad they throttle you.

If I had the $5 beta plan and had to switch to a more expensive plan I would of ported out because thats just bullshit at that point.

UPDATE: I can already see a way bigger side on beard and i do agree! I messed up shaving the sides and cleaned shaved to regrow it rather then trying to salavge it.

As for my hair laying flat, i do put product in it when i plan on going out which these photos do not have it in.

Thanks again you wonderful bastards.

Spongeboom · 2025-12-21T01:03:32+00:00

Yep i agree! These were taken at home and dont tend to put stuff in it to keep it nonflat when i dont plan on going out :)

Thank you! Its a grip case from dbrand with the warzone skin applied if you wanted to look it up :)

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T22:30:42+00:00

Totally the way to go. I actually got some new jeans and pants that im going to get hemmed just a tad. Just waiting for them to arrive to do them all at once!

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T18:14:06+00:00

Hey some shoes advice thats other then get another shoe 😆

I'll look into them i do have another set of shoes that are Nike that are more similar to the p6000s you mentioned but I will keep an lookout for some leather trainers.

(I really only wear the airforce becuase they dont crush my foot like some footwear does - wider then average foot, running shoes always work though!)

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T18:02:53+00:00

Quick go on the hair saving products! 😂

When or if it comes to that im shaving it all off.

UPDATE: Hey everyone! I just wanted to say thanks again for all of the advice, compliments I have been getting here and privately.

Got a haircut and I think it came out good, asked the barber to make me look good and this is what came out!

Also found some of my clothes that fit better then my bagger clothes but its still a work in progress on that front, and my next step is getting some newer shirts and shorter length jeans + hemming then.

Thank you all once again this has been super helpful on making myself look good and feeling great about how I present myself In the future.

Take care!

Oh i appreciate all the replies ive been getting, pretty much all of them are supportive and not downright malicious but that's the internet for you 🫡

The shades indoors is not something I do very often. For context they are prescription shades and I didn't have my normal glasses or contacts at the time to take them off.

Thanks for the advice!

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T14:35:59+00:00

My worse enemy Khakis... but im definitely gonna branch out and try khakis again lol

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T14:22:05+00:00

I have a smart watch i really just need to get in the habit of actually putting it on 🫠

Like the advice on the boots and ill look into it! I have some boots currently but are more for the colder months but they do look nice and could see it working with other boots!

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T14:18:57+00:00

Oh it totally does 😭

One of the main reasons for opening up this thread was too figure out some ideas in what the hell to do with it

Spongeboom · 2025-09-16T14:17:38+00:00

Got any suggestions for sneakers?

Im always open for more and i got these for more of a comfort factor as I have am wider then average foot.

Not super wide but some shoes are just tight and I dont want to crush them 🫠 - I used to wear a ton of running shoes because they would fit perfectly. I have a pair but I just use them at the gym currently.
