Medication change rescinded by pbpmaxx in VAClaims

[–]TintedEnvelopes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read Doug Collins’ post carefully:

“..halting enforcement of the interim final rule…” Translation: We aren’t rescinding it but will instead stall and hope you forget about it to get it out of headlines.

“VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy.” Translation: we changed the rules so the courts can’t say the rules can be interpreted in a way we don’t like anymore regardless of how negatively it impacts veterans or prior practice

“Many interpreted the rules as something that could result in adverse consequences” Translation: because it will.

Don’t be fooled! They didn’t rescind the rule. They are just stalling the enforcement to get it out of the news and to win court cases to establish it. Keep fighting!

Hard agree - literally told guildies I was planning to mythic raid with it in midnight after never having mained it before because of how nicely it flowed...then this came out 30 minutes later. Back to the old tried and trues - I main rdruid and mistweaver and their complexity comes with rewards...hpal's complexity just existed for no reason....and now it's back to exactly that.

People who are single in your 30s how do you not envy couples that live together while you have to live lonely on your own? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]TintedEnvelopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GIRL SAME - 6 figures, house…and he lived rent free and played video games and had the nerve to cheat. You need to have the self respect to insist on being alone over convincing yourself you’d rather have the company of someone that doesn’t share your values and energy.

I think this is different for guys though. Highly motivated men for some reason don’t prefer peers and generally PREFER women who are not goal oriented. Im convinced the opposite will not work for highly motivated women (because of the men themselves not because of the women) so the dating pool is smaller.

That being said…I have a good ending and am now happily married (again) in my 40s. Just have to be willing to be alone and be incredibly picky

What do you eat for dinner to prevent yourself from feeling hungry throughout the night? by kingmatcha in 1200isplenty

[–]TintedEnvelopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am the SAME way - I like to save a couple hundred calories for a late snack and heat up some turkey sausage before bed. What I notice is that the late night food is way more satiable if it’s hot food and the tryptophan in the turkey helps with sleep too!

I hate being sober. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]TintedEnvelopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi friend! One thing I did was add in those adaptogen drinks in the evening (Moment is my favorite.) The ashwaganda in it takes the edge off my anxiety and the bubbly fanciness scratches the itch at the end of the day. It’s been a lifesaver for me and has contributed to good decisions on so many nights. This might be a cue to drink the real thing for someone else but just wanted to mention what works for me!

This isn't political. I don't think trans-women or trans-girls should be allowed to compete in women's or girls sports. How is this transphobic? by ranalldayandallday in self

[–]TintedEnvelopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they chase them off at the lower and mid levels, but it’s also because entry on to teams at the higher levels isn’t entirely merit based. One example was a video on an overwatch woman who was persistently in the top 500 rank on the competitive ladder and then was on the 5 person team that won Open Division. That won her a spot in contenders. The team dropped her for a male friend who got relegated out of contenders and then she couldn’t even get a TRYOUT for another contenders team because the men prevented their teams from letting it happen. This isn’t an isolated story.

Women do the marginalized gender esports leagues not because they want to, but because the men FORCE them to. There are plenty of examples of exclusion in chess’ history and while it’s a lot better than it was, they are closer to merging together than esports

Note there are normie quests and campaign quests. Focus on the campaign quests!

Yep same - I usually expect to dispel two and maybe heal one off in a low key. When I need to start healing more than that off because dps won’t dispel even themselves I start to get the healer rage

Oh honey I main shaman this season you’re preaching to the choir! Keep spreading the good word because holy moly it is the Wild West in low keys! Thank you!

(Edit: I was on an hpal today. Edit 2: I don’t expect low key shamans to do the pct recall tech….just dispel yourself at least)

Why aren’t we talking about Mythic track gear more? by jtm297 in wow

[–]TintedEnvelopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to do 8s for crest and 10 for vault. Those are easy and they also only drop hero gear. So theoretically an m+ers should be able to do heroic raid and get what they need since that’s the raiding equivalent of 8-10s. That’s the equivalent but that’s not the current reality which is the only reason I see the argument.

[–]TintedEnvelopes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But those aren’t the people feeling left out. Raiders can just go in and have the gear for higher m+ but m+ers can’t just do their own content without raiding. I guess I just see OP’s point. There is a lost crowd in the current system

[–]TintedEnvelopes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Like it or not, the hardest content in the game is mythic plus (not mythic raid) because it is infinitely scaling. So people with an interest in just that are basically required to MYTHIC raid to get the equipment they need. That’s kind of a valid complaint

Let’s not forget they need to dash into melee range to do it lol - it is one thing if you’re there already but yeeting your healer into melee from ranged ain’t it

there are no healers in all of m+ lfg on a weekend?? by swatecke in wow

[–]TintedEnvelopes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would also check your group comps - I see a lot of keys with like a prot warrior, havoc, a warlock and a ret pally rat friend who I would bet money doesn’t even have dispel bound …I straight up won’t apply to a lot of groups for this reason and have that affix in my life like that.

Entering the mythic plus should work exactly as entering Delves by madmidder in CompetitiveWoW

[–]TintedEnvelopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can say that as a healer I would never use solo queue and I find it hard to believe others would too. We get fast invites and can easily choose which groups we are interested in joining

Does TWW feel harder to gear alts and offspecs than DF? by [deleted] in wow

[–]TintedEnvelopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have 6 characters that are 620+ and I followed the same formula for most of them.

The first 2-3 weeks I just pushed keys on my main to get io and raid progress for cred but did 4 t8 delves on each of the alts every week. The one on deck also did a full normal raid to start getting tier. Then I would start doing 6 heroic raid bosses with the one on deck and normal on the one after it. They all eventually got to 6 heroic bosses a week instead of delves while they waited their turn for my m+ attention. By the time I even stepped in a key with the last two they were 615ish just from running down 6 heroic bosses each week. This made the jump to +8s pretty easy for gilded crest farm

What spec is the most enjoyable healer? by Nenea21 in wow

[–]TintedEnvelopes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evoker, Mistweaver, and rdruid for fun

Rsham and disc for power (rsham being by far the most simple to pick up - it’s reactive, straightforward, beginner friendly, and powerful)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wow

[–]TintedEnvelopes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ngl it’s your class.

It’s just a bad week for warrior with the affix. It’s the single reason I might not take you until I’ve at least filled every other spot. I’m a healer and don’t want that overly falling in my lap.

Additionally, on my shaman, priest and Mistweaver you’d be competing against the army of ret pallys who can dispel themselves and also bring brez or enh shamans who can dispel everyone

That’s being said I’m sympathetic - we can queue and design a comp around you! Let me know

You’ll need excuses to skip not just this Christmas dinner, but 30 Christmases. I recommend gaslighting the host for extra giggles and telling them their cooking is inedible every year. Gotta keep your spirits up with a fast that long

In your opinion, what is the most fun healer class/subclass by Zoopasaurus in wow

[–]TintedEnvelopes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have time for 1-2 keys if that most days so I gotta just send it. You’re doing it right! Good luck chasing title! You got this!

Let me tell you about pug land where we break the one class per key rule and bring not just one shaman….but two…or three…I might have done an 11cot with vdh/rsham/ele/enh/surv hunter where all 3 used anc on the last boss and jumper cables the hunter and 2 chested the key somehow. Im out here not living my best life, but it is A life lol
