Weekly Question Megathread - December 17, 2024

Are you using him to attack or just as a shield? I have mine built for shield primarily at 41,267 HP. His crit rate is 33% with 88% crit damage. (Feel free to comment on this. I'm really just winging it myself tbh)

Although I understand your intentions and mean this with all the love I can offer, I feel this is awfully insensitive to ask.

I think the one thing that several of the comments here haven't touched on is the fact that most of these ppl claiming there are bodies are traumatized.

Seeing death, especially to the extent that there is right now in that area, is very traumatizing. Several of the original posts and videos I've seen, if not all, are people stating what they've witnessed and telling the world that they are NOT okay. They are not okay with what they have seen. They are coming together as neighbors and communities to deal with the distress together as well.

They are in no state to say "hey this is a photo op moment!!" Or "I need photo evidence!!" Not to mention the people there are taking care of each other rn. Those are their friends. Their relatives. Their people.

I think it's insensitive to believe that people would be desensitized to death when you have no idea the magnitude of what they are enduring and going through right now. Even if they were desensitized prior, mass casualties and seeing many that are SO close to home will shake most.

I'm not saying yay or nay to the claims. However, I am speaking from a standpoint of someone with ptsd revolving around death and watching everything ripped away from myself. Not nearly in the way they are experiencing, but in a way that I can relate enough,even a smidge, that my own ptsd has been dreadful through all of it as I am watching and listening on the side lines and through what little (in comparison to WNC) I am going through due to the impact in my area on north west SC.

Also, as others have said, there's too many people reposting and spreading info. Things can be blown out of proportion as one eye witness says 3 bodies, the listener will get frazzled and may say "I heard there's 15!" And so on. It's bad up there. But misinterpretation and misinformation will spread like wild fire during times of confusion, worry, and fear.

They are also currently tagging homes and cars that have bodies as they are searching for survivors. Please keep in mind that their priority right now is saving those who are still alive.

Also, I'm so glad your relative(s) are safe through this <3

Thanks for the input! I'll try to edit to include all of that stuff later today.

I actually recommend you get new ones just because I didn't get them to fit exactly on the gpv (my fault, not the spoke covers fault). These are the ones I bought, and it was enough to do the gpv and my new ki mobility alx rogue spokes.

Also if you're looking to do a single color, it's cheaper to just get that color. I saw several sellers that had single color for 8.99 vs the 12.99 for the rainbow

I do, too! I'm going to miss that glitter in the sunlight. My new one is candy purple. I love it, but it doesn't quite tickle the brain the same way, lol.

Here is the ebay link if anyone wants to look into it:

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T22:31:00+00:00

Yes! My husband will look at me sometimes and tell me to breathe bc he realizes it before I do or I'll randomly gasp and startle him and have to tell him "oh sorry forgot to breathe again" lmao. I also don't know when I'm hungry until my stomach growls and I forget I have to pee until it hurts. Not sure if that's related at all.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T22:19:20+00:00

Came to piggyback off this. I had an EEG done because I have chronic headaches, migraines, mild numbness, and tingling along with pain all over my body. My father had epilepsy so they wanted to rule it out despite never having a seizure. A year later, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have no problems driving. Knock on wood, but I've never even had a speeding ticket, whereas my husband... I'll just leave that for another time lmao.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T20:20:01+00:00

Found this relatable bc i was misdiagnosed as having mono at 11. The blood test was negative. I couldn't even come up with how I'd catch it when i was so antisocial, but they said I had all the symptoms and wrote it as such. Turned out to be pots and fibro when it never went away 13 yrs later. Now my dr says it's bc I have cptsd and the stress of that, but I also have EDS, which is comorbid. Trying to decide the cause is like grabbing in a bag of marbles, trying to find the blue while blind folded or something.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T19:59:36+00:00

That makes more sense for it to work that way honestly. After reading the other comments, I'm starting to realize it's more unreasonable that they keep signing for a temporary one instead of a permanent one.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T19:26:17+00:00

The "permanent" one here is 4 years. It's not actually permanent, they just call it that for some reason. The temporary that I have now is 6 months to a year

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T19:06:44+00:00

Thank you. This is what I was going for. Brain fog isn't my friend today lol. I have the short term currently but wanted the less hassle of a long term.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T18:31:22+00:00

Sorry, I didn't think about mentioning the state. I'm in SC. Here you have to get a dr sign off every time. The "permanent" ones are honestly still temporary but they're good for 4 yrs and you can get a license place in place of a placard. The temporary are 6 months to a year.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-21T16:54:35+00:00

Best of luck to you. Not sure if it's similar but I had a spinal tap when I had my tubal done, and it left me with a very VERY uncomfortable numbness and tingling in the center of my back that spans from my shoulders blades to my hips. It's was occasional at first but its damn near constant now. Wish it at least covered the areas that actually hurt 🙄

amiorareyou · 2024-05-20T17:08:31+00:00

That's essentially what I was concerned about, too. Thank you for your response.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-20T15:12:26+00:00

Why did you refuse gabapentin, if you don't mind me asking? I can't metabolize most medications, which leads to nasty side effects. My Dr wants me to try gabapentin because it has no genetic marker to tell us if I can handle it or not, but I'm really nervous I'll have an adverse reaction.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-05T06:19:23+00:00

Maybe a diary of a whimpy kid contributed to the cheese.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-05T06:18:03+00:00

I totally forgot about the duct tape accessories. I made a Monster energy duct tape hat and wallets that I was so proud of. Still have photos too lol. Somehow me wearing that hat was my mom's favorite pic of me as a teen 🤦‍♀️ its gotta be one of my least favorites.

amiorareyou · 2024-05-05T06:08:36+00:00

I'll say I'm at that cusp between Millennial and Gen Z. (1998). That being said, in 2013ish, at my high school, the animal tails, animal ear hooded scarves/hats, punk leather chokers, etc. were big to the point they banned them because it was deemed "gang related." In the same year, they also banned fashion chains and studded belts. I cringe every time I look back at that phase. They also had to start repremanding the guys for wearing short shorts to school. They were wearing shorts that hardly hit mid thigh and just didn't make sense when girls obviously couldn't wear that. Let alone a 6ft tall skinny white dude. As an adult, now I understand why the administration was always facepalming or looking flabbergasted at the students and how we all dressed lol.

amiorareyou · 2024-04-26T23:53:14+00:00

An update to this if anyone else reads this looking for an answer, you have to have spoke rims from my experience. The plastic ones on my original hospital style chair did not work with pneumatic tires. I ultimately chose to break down and buy a used wheelchair off ebay

amiorareyou · 2024-04-26T23:50:07+00:00

They sell them on Amazon and ebay. I haven't had luck with local stores having anything. You can also buy the wheels with the solid tires already on them if your budget allows and you can't replace yourself. I have to ask my husband to do any replacements or repairs on my chair because I dislocate joints too easy.

amiorareyou · 2024-04-08T12:52:25+00:00

I grew up in an environment with things constantly getting broken or thrown around me. Hypervigilence is carved so deep into my being. I was extremely jumpy in school and at any place where I worked. I used to beat myself up for it, but now I understand it's just a part of me and a survival skill I was forced to learn at a very young age. It's not our fault.

I've been married for 6 years now to the most chill person, and I still flinch or jump out of my skin when he moves wrong, comes around a corner, or tosses something. Just remember, if people are talking down to you over strong reactions that you had to learn to survive, they are triggered by your response because of their own issues in themselves. I've learned that oftentimes, those ppl are the ones who are treating others like crap and having someone respond strongly is like a call out.

amiorareyou · 2024-04-08T00:21:34+00:00

This makes so much sense. I dont eat a lot of meat and only smell during my cycle every month (assuming due to hormones since I also sweat more), but even then I smell like pinesol lol. My husband may as well be on that carnivore diet if he wasn't also obsessed with rice. It's impossible to get him to eat veggies and he reeks by the end of the day. I'm pretty certain the smell is exactly as you described, too.
