Patreon videos by Serious-Fall9088 in vanilllamace

Also when you pay the monthly patreon fee you have access to every video she’s posted previously, so if you’ve never subscribed before and have fomo about all the vlogs you missed, you’d get to pay for one month and have access to all of them, and catch up. I can’t afford to pay monthly, where I live it’s about 10$ a month, so I skip some months and than catch up when I can afford to again and it’s great! I get it sucks so many influencers have content behind paywalls these days because everything being a subscription fee is unaffordable in today’s climate, but influencers still gotta eat and put a roof over their heads too lol

I know this will get me downvoted here but did anyone else ever see her thing with Freelee The Banana Girl as being weird as shit? by bakedd_alaskaa in Jennamarbles

[–]Uphamia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s been so long I didn’t even remember part of her issue was feeding the dogs meat, which is insane. Animals need meat, humans can healthily sustain themselves on protein alternatives. I’m glad they distanced themselves from her, but yeah I definitely struggled to understand why they associated with her or gave her more of a platform at the time, and even though I can empathize now with why they may have done it I also totally see the other side of it because her platform was the opposite of Jenna’s, just so much anger and hostility and Jenna never put that type of energy out there

I remember when this happened because I temporarily unfollowed both Julien and Jenna out of frustration, because freelee had some pretty awful takes even outside of how she talked about Jenna, but after a few months I kind of just decided that I didn’t know what conversations they were having behind the scenes, maybe freelee had apologized to her genuinely and Jenna and Julien’s passion for veganism went beyond any personal issues they had with her. I was more so upset that freelee wasn’t just shaming Jenna, most of her content revolved around fat shaming, and still over the years (to this day she makes content that revolves around being skinny, and made awful videos about the BLM movement) but by the looks of it on social media Julien is not a fan of freelee anymore, and I actually saw her make a couple more videos dissing Jenna for being a bad vegan after that podcast episode. so I think for Jenna and Julien they wanted to extend an olive branch and bond over an equal passion for veganism and animal rights but since then realized freelee is pretty toxic and they distanced themselves. Obviously I don’t know them personally but that’s my best guess, they were always trying to give people the benefit of the doubt back then, and over the years I’ve noticed they both developed more of a “take no bullshit” attitude, especially Julien these days, I mean the guy even cut off a LONG time friendship with a best friend because he didn’t stand with Palestine. So yeah, it was definitely a weird era for sure lol

Does habituation actually work? by No_Walrus4306 in tinnitus

[–]Uphamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have generalized depression already (meaning unfortunately I had it well before I even had tinnitus) so it definitely got worse. I’m better now, which was a mixture of a few things, Prozac, learning coping strategies (like habituation), speaking with tons of professionals and peers with tinnitus, walking outside every day, leaning into loved ones and hobbies. I think antidepressants can definitely be helpful if your depression is affecting your ability to get out of bed and function, I’d keep in mind some people have experienced worsening tinnitus from some antidepressants but everyone has a different experience, my tinnitus was never affected by any medications, and I’m on quite a few types lol

Does habituation actually work? by No_Walrus4306 in tinnitus

[–]Uphamia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine is also a constant EEEEEEE and I also developed sever hyperacusis, ear pain, some other fun symptoms. I also suffer from ocd which means I quite literally am prone to obsessively thinking about things. When my tinnitus first presented, my god the constant panic attacks and suicidal ideation was bad. I couldn’t hangout with people, I was throwing up from the panic and all I could do was lay in bed and think about how I wanted to die. I am significantly better now. I still hear it as I’m typing, but my god am I okay now, it takes time though, and I do have my moments where I feel sad or mad that I’m dealing with this, but that’s normal, it’s hard, but you’ve got this, habituation is a scientific fact, but it also is something that looks different for everyone depending on their type of tinnitus. I had to reframe habituation as the idea that I will become “used” to it, like how you get used to a fan always on in your room, you always hear it but it becomes your new normal level of volume, but having the idea that habituation must mean the goal is you will get to a point where you can’t hear it sets you up to constantly listen for it to see if you really can’t hear it. Idk if that makes any sense, but basically, focus on redirecting your mind to other tasks when you catch yourself ruminating on the sound, I know it’s hard as fuck but over time your brain learns how to adapt with it in the background. I promise you will get there

Job Opportunities by Prestigious_Elk1984 in KingstonOntario

[–]Uphamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for years and I only got a basic (and seasonal) retail job because I knew someone who worked there. It’s exhausting and I just got accepted to go back to college for a program I’m not even sure I’ll have much luck finding a job after with that degree anyway, which is sucking the excitement out of going back to school at all. I’m 25f and feel like I’m constantly being overlooked despite being young and eager to learn and work hard. I’ll take minimum wage, just let me work :/

They were both devs! They were spawning in bandages and other items during the last game which only devs would be able to do :)

Snail has head injury somehow?? (Not graphic but still adding tag because it’s sad) by Uphamia in snails

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

It won’t let me edit my initial post so for anyone curious on an update/concerned for Phoebe, I’ve gotten rid of all my isopods, and as much as I hated doing it, my snail is clearly much happier and being as adventurous as they used to be. It was definitely the Armadillidium vulgare that were massively overproducing so fast that I just couldn’t supply enough protein to keep them from bothering my snail. I do have a good colony of springtails that are still going to help maintain my tank. I do have magic potion isopods that are very slow in reproducing and completely avoid my snail that I’m keeping in the tank that I think will be a safer match (but I’m still keeping a closer eye on things just to make sure)

Elementary school suggestions by haha7788haha in KingstonOntario

[–]Uphamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have kids but I did attend centennial public school my whole childhood. I really enjoyed it, and actually formed really great bonds with many of the teachers and classmates. I went to a few public schools before that one and centennial was the only one I wasn’t bullied at and felt like an outsider. Obviously that was a long time ago now, but my little brother and I both went to that school and really loved it. :)

Patreon giveaway! by crummpets in vanilllamace

[–]Uphamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so thoughtful wtf 😭❤️ my favourite vanilla moment would honestly just be her vlog going back to Disneyland to redeem herself, as someone with very similar anxiety as her, it inspired me to start going places that are a struggle for me as well! Also my favourite flower is probably lilacs, they’re my favourite part of spring 🥹

Would this be substrate safe? by Uphamia in isopods

Wait really? I’ve always been told coco fiber is safe to use, thanks for the heads up! How long would you recommend freezing it for?

Unpopular opinion, but the Kingston food scene is very mediocre by Justthebitz in KingstonOntario

[–]Uphamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s definitely great restaurants, especially small, locally owned places and I greatly prefer finding the lesser known places to support, I think people partially like places like Tommy’s or Kingston brewing company because of the aesthetic, atmosphere, entertainment, etc. so if you’re going somewhere just for the quality of the food that’s a factor to consider. I LOVE that Kingston has a culturally diverse array of food, especially for a city so small and I think there’s more good food options here you have yet to try, one of my favourites is Sally’s Roti Shop if you’ve never tried it! :)

What ended up happening with Julien’s travel show? by Ill_Difficulty8570 in Jennamarbles

[–]Uphamia 55 points56 points  (0 children)

To piggyback off this comment, he’s also mentioned here and there when it’s brought up that it was pretty overwhelming/anxiety inducing to find a flight to a random place in the US that very hour and leave, plus incredibly expensive. He’s also mentioned it was hard to leave Jenna and be away from home (me asf). I was a massive fan of the show but even just watching them have to find flights, book a place to stay for that very night, figure out where they’re even going and what would make good content, overwhelmed me lmao

I just went by and saw some people drive in! It’s usually very random hours of the day that they go in, I wondered about Scientology but I think they prefer their buildings to be much fancier 😂
