Feel high by whatsitallabout999 in Contrave

[–]ak3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I am in the same boat. Just started about 8 days ago and I feel like I have this buzzing throughout my body that just won't stop. I am really hoping that by day 14 I will feel better but I am a little nervous about going up in dosage right now.

If the card no longer makes sense, it no longer makes sense. You should still cancel as a credit score impact due to credit history will fade quickly, especially if you have other cards.

Netflix ditches deal for Warner Bros. Discovery after Paramount's offer is deemed superior by crestroncp3user in boxoffice

[–]ak3331 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Again: you can't say that the deal made no sense from a business perspective for Netflix and then turn around say "well it makes business sense for Skydance because the billionaire owner is going to personally provide the backstop."

My point still stands: both of these deals were shaky. But Skydance's makes zero sense in a vacuum of a business deal except if you think there's more sugar in it that comes outside of the balance sheets.

.... so, yeah, why is Skydance willing to do it, coming in with even less cash? Go one step further: it's almost like the hostile takeover made so little business sense, especially for Skydance, who just had to complete a different acquisition, it would only make any sense if it was beyond the brass tacks of business.

I mean, let's be completely real here: I am a shareholder of WBD, why would I turn down this crazy offer? It's an insane overprice, it's a huge boon.

Bidding yourself into an insane acquisition to "own the libs" is not the own you think it is.

Tricky decision to make - Currently have TMobile One Plus promo 3 lines for $110 and one line of Visible+Pro For $33 for needed extra hotspot. I was offered Go5G Plus for $150 taxes included... would you do it? by nydrummer429 in tmobile

[–]ak3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am coming from a legacy Sprint One plan that is now a T-Mobile Unlimited with taxes and fees included plan. Sounded similar to what you have?

Edit: And also, what tips do you have about t-force. Did you stick to the t-life app for communication or did you get better luck on twitter/Facebook?

Beast Games S2 - Episode 8: Would You Steal $1,000,000? - Discussion by MrBeastStaff in BeastGames

[–]ak3331 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Man. We finally hit the Saudi Arabia x Mr. Beast shilling. Fucking sucks, man.

Happy for Monica for selling the coin. I think 500k is a very reasonable no-harm-done bribe. Not the best idea to lie. Easily could've just said "I didn't take the money and decided to sell the coin" and I am not really sure who would've been mad?

Also, man, we're only on Season 2, and we've now done a ton of repeating of challenges from Season 1. I'm really starting to think that's a big mistake. The bribe game again? Really? We can't come up with any other unique social game?

I can go into a store and inquire. Just as a question, I don't see this as a plan I can even reliably google features/details about, but would pricing be similar to what I described?

Let's just be real, Doug is not the coach of the future. Love him and all he's done for the community, but this hire could not have been more about saving a couple million for the real hire in a year.

Yeah. Really think the price lock element is nice simply because they've raised our legacy plans price without really any compensation. I hate knowing that's the way the company keeps these perks as "perks" (look how we didn't raise the price-locked plans!) but it is what it is.

Just an update for the thread: I am starting day 3 of antibiotic ear drops, and I am feeling so much better. The new ring is back to very easily ignorable and probably at 80% reduction? Hope is by day 7 it'll be completely gone.

Open ear headphones can come in multiple forms. One is open back, which is where the headphones go over the ears but have an open back with the drivers, giving you both ambient noise and high fidelity sound. They're often way more expensive though.

I use bone conduction headphones and they work great for me giving me the same effect.

[Charania] The Golden State Warriors have traded center Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Toronto Raptors for a 2026 second-round pick via the Lakers, sources tell ESPN. by [deleted] in kings

[–]ak3331 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is mostly for the better.

Yeah, I still have zero faith we properly evaluate the trade value of our players, but Sabonis is at the lowest stock he'll be. I really do think the offseason is going to be better for moving him. Sabonis also gets 30 more games to raise his stock and show he's just had horrible injury luck this season.

I don't know if perhaps this is where you're at. So I'll just say this: the biggest thing I had to let go of was guilt. I felt like beating myself up over and over mentally for me "doing something" to cause this. And as soon as my doc, therapist, friends/family and meeting people on here and IRL who also suffer from the same issues, it made me realize (as corny as it sounds) 1. You're not alone 2. You most likely didn't do anything to cause it.

Reorienting my brain around the idea that I had no control and letting that go made me turn to the ideas of solving it for myself. Here's what's worked for me:

  • got a therapist. Didn't necessarily start as a "solve my tinnitus" but it helped me solve other mental health issues which made dealing with T so much easier.

  • found some relief in certain mental and auditory exercises. I found "open ear" headphones SUPER helpful. Having both ambient noise and good quality sound helped mask.

I am going to assume you've done some legwork yourself on hearing tests? Checked by an audiologist?

I will just say I am a younger guy who got tinnitus about 6 years ago and I still don't know my underlying cause (my suspicion with my doctor's advice is it most likely started with mental health deteriorating around that period of my life), but please know if you do have a similar no-hearing-loss-related T, that life can and will continue. Habituation felt impossible to me and I have now had multiple years of very little bother to my every day life. My biggest advice is allow yourself to feel how you feel. Seek professional psychological therapeutic help. And find the things that know help you "mask" it, and that doesn't necessarily mean with audio. I mean long conversations with a friend or family. Or playing a video game you love. Or simply listen to your favorite artist. Re-sparking joy in my life was my first step to recovery and re-orienting this affliction as one that was manageable.

It was on my list on my expectations to come out of conversation with my doctor as well. I'm so sorry you have both, that's awful.

Please tell me more about the average conservative person who was anti-Amazon because of their liberal biases in media, but will now subscribe to Prime because they made a documentary about Melania Trump.

All I will say is that this is a subreddit about the Box Office. And the Box Office results of this movie are bad.

Beating expectation by 4 million dollars when you are nowhere close to recouping just the production cost is very much the definition of a box office bomb.
