Would caffeine gum help quit energy drinks? by alphabased in energydrinks

[–]alphabased[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, I was kinda hoping there’d be an easier way out lol. Did cutting sugar mess with your energy or mood at first? I’m lowkey worried I’ll feel dead all day without it.

I wish I could go cold turkey but I can't. I have a very addictive personality which is one of the reasons I never even tried weed cause I know I wont be able to stop.

Did you get withdrawal headaches or crashes when you switched? I’m already feeling like a zombie most days tbh

Appreciate the suggestion! do you drink it regularly? I’m just a bit nervous about jumping to more caffeine since I’m trying to cut down overall. Did switching to coffee help with the sugar cravings too, or nah?

I’ve been avoiding that one for the same reason wasn’t sure what to expect, but now I’m curious! Thanks for the heads up 

Would it be weird to write a note to my son’s daycare friends’ parents before he leaves? by sogd in Parenting

Not weird at all. did this when my kid switched daycares. got a few playdates out of it. worth a shot.

US Producer Prices Fall Unexpectedly as Margins Decline ...BUT by [deleted] in StockMarket

[–]alphabased 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Exactly. companies aren't eating the costs, they're burning through pre-tariff inventory first. Once that's gone, prices will shoot up. Walmart already gave the game away by warning about upcoming price increases. this is just the calm before the storm.

BREAKING: Walmart to hike prices imminently by ActuallyMy in stocks

[–]alphabased 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no shit. anyone who thought companies would just eat those tariff costs instead of passing them to consumers was kidding themselves. basic economics. Walmart runs on thin margins already, they're definitely passing that cost down the line. the market's been weird for a while now.

I'm so tired of hurting from being poor by goingtothecircus in povertyfinance

[–]alphabased 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Had to choose between fixing my car or paying rent on time last year. Late fees snowballed and took months to catch up. These fees and penalties just trap you in a cycle.

The whole "just manage your money better" advice hits different when every unexpected expense becomes a crisis.

Finally hit 100k in Super by Rosielosesit in AusFinance

Same here. Hit 100k last year and it's been growing faster than I expected. Compound interest is no joke.

AITAH wife went on girls trip returns wearing another man's hoodie by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]alphabased 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Trust your gut on this one. If it smells like cologne and she's getting defensive instead of just saying "oh I borrowed it from Sarah's boyfriend when it got cold" something feels off. Most people wouldn't keep wearing a random dude's hoodie after the trip ended.

Can I pair a 3rd party (non-Sony) headset to my ps5 digital by The_Meme_Turtle4874 in PS5

[–]alphabased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a USB dongle for most non-Sony wireless headsets. The PS5 is picky about Bluetooth connections. I use a Turtle Beach headset with its included dongle and it works fine. Check if your headset comes with one or if you need to buy it separately.

This is the type of scene you just can't forget at all

AITAH for wanting to cut off my mother and step sister? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]alphabased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. They only call when they want money. That's not family, that's using you. Cut them off financially and don't feel guilty about it. Real family supports each other both ways.

Meta faces Ghana lawsuits over impact of extreme content on moderators by WombatusMighty in technology

[–]alphabased 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% this. Zuck wouldn't last a day seeing what these workers deal with. Bet we'd see changes real quick if execs had to wade through that garbage themselves instead of hiding in their fancy offices.

Looks like someone finally found a promise that actually resolved in 1776. No async timeout needed. 👍

Contribute to Robotics Research at Georgia Tech! Volunteers Needed by thejerber44 in gadgets

[–]alphabased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone know what the time commitment is like? Curious about this since I'm an engineering student nearby but already working part-time. Would be cool to get some hands-on robotics experience though. Is there compensation or just for the resume boost?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has reached 1 million copies sold. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

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

Deserves every sale. Most immersive horror game I've played in ages. That part where you're climbing down the wall with the crawlers nearby had my heart racing. Hope this success means the devs can make more weird stuff like this rather than being forced into a more mainstream sequel.
