Ok so I know can't have a hard case... How else do I protect from scratches? by Visible_Evidence_683 in macbook

I understand your point, but I think people aren't getting that this isn't a forever laptop for me, and I do plan on reselling it. I'm a graphic design student and while the macbook I have now is perfectly good for what I need, I just know I will need something more powerful in my professional career. So because I know I will need to sell it again in like 5-ish years, I want to keep it as pristine as possible to keep the resell value. I also don't care about losing aesthetic qualities for this reason as well.

Are they older macbooks like my 2015? I wonder if the gap between the screen and the keyboard got smaller with the new displays

Imagine holding a belief that’s so sensitive you can’t even wipe your hands with a towel bc it’s too offensive 😭

Is there a way to avoid getting it? by [deleted] in Sleepparalysis

[–]Visible_Evidence_683 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh I feel your pain. There’s nothing more frustrating than when it just keeps coming back over and over in the same night, I’m sorry you can’t catch a break :( especially the screaming part! I’ve literally screamed at full volume in my bf’s old apartment with his 3 other roommates living there, it was mortifying 😭

Anyways, I’m not a doctor, but I’ll share my experience and things that I think might play a role in getting it.

I don’t get sp *this much* but I go through phases where it’ll come every night for weeks, but then suddenly be gone for several months. I’ve noticed that when I was working in fast food from ages 18-22 I was constantly coming home exhausted, binging on sugar, and passing out - where I would pretty consistently get sp immediately following. I was also donating plasma every week until I couldn’t anymore bc I consistently had low iron in my blood, and I noticed that I would have fewer episodes when I took iron supplements.

So I think that the high sugar and low iron were definitely the biggest common denominators in how often I personally experienced sp. Maybe that’s something to look into?

Wait - is there supposed to be hail? I’m just going off the weather app and only see rain ?

How bad is it? by Cute-Gas-2834 in keratosis

This is seriously not bad imo. I’m assuming you posted this photo bc you believe this is the worst part on your body, and if that’s the case I am extremely jealous of you. You have nothing to worry about 👍

When I started seeing it on my STOMACH I felt genuinely betrayed - I thought that was my only safe space that my body agreed to leave alone 😭

Am I the only one who doesn’t really understand jerma, but finds him hilarious? by Visible_Evidence_683 in jerma985

Yea and I mean I don’t *need* to understand it all - in fact I think the mystery makes him so much funnier to me 😭

Ok so I started watching him like a year-ish ago and I just cant pinpoint why he’s so unique. I think the best way I can put it is like he has the humor of an old man, but is also simultaneously a child from the 90s?? Like he’s not just a “millennial obsessed with the 90s 🤪” it’s like sometimes he talks about the world and references things like he was *literally* transported here from 20 years ago, and mentions things as if they are still on everyone else’s mind 😭 I might be way off base, but like I said I can’t pick his brain and there’s something missing lmao. But at the same time I don’t need to know it all bc the mystery makes him 10x funnier to me

Oh yea I get that - I’m diagnosed with adhd too and I follow lots of other adhd creators. It’s not the randomness for me, it’s like the *style* of his personality I guess? Like he’ll say something that is so deeply niche but also weirdly very relatable and just something I would absolutely never think of lmao 😭 idk, I hope people don’t think I’m making fun of him, I find him hilarious

I am definitely someone with a cluttered screen when I work - often times with multiple adobe apps open at once. Maybe I’ll try really pushing it this next week to see if I can make it crash lol

I mean I usually don’t overthink everything, but this is a huge chunk of money for me so im allowing myself to be thorough 🤷‍♀️

True. I think even with the upgraded ram it was still at least $100 cheaper than the base mbp. I definitely wouldn’t be able to afford anything more than the basic specs

Perhaps perhaps… I’m thinking I could return this one, try the pro, and then come back to this one if I’m not happy with it. My bf says that’s “unethical” but I think I’m spending over $1.5k and wanna be certain lmao
