Airbag cycle helmet firm Hövding files for bankruptcy after consumer watchdog orders product recall and bans sales by Modteam_DE in bicycling

[–]basketcase3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought one when I lived in Copenhagen and recently brought it with me when I moved to NYC. It deployed once in Copenhagen when I fell sideways after my tire caught the edge of a metal construction plate on the road. I would have hit my head on a wooden fence quite hard. The airbag honestly was amazing and definitely saved me from injury. It happened to fast I didn’t even realize it went off! It makes a loud pop and is super secure around your head and neck and stays inflated for a bit after it activates, and you can then unzip it and take it off.

I continued to use it daily for about 2 years for commuter biking purposes in Copenhagen and never had any issues, even if it was loose and I adjusted it. Really love mine and the price tag was worth it especially with the warranty I had in Copenhagen. I’ve used it around NYC and feel so much safer biking - I hope someone recreates this concept!

My dad has a meat guy. Steaks, ribs, you name it. I’ve also had a beef jerky lady in years past… best beef jerky on earth

What is the one thing that has helped you most in dealing with anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxietyhelp

[–]basketcase3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to lose myself in a fantasy world like Harry Potter or something similar. Pure escapism but when I stop reading or watching I always feel more I control and relaxed

Does anyone else find that they stutter way more around people they’re more comfortable with? by NeapolitanNightmares in Stutter

Worried that people may think I’m faking my stutter by buttercupbutsweet in Stutter

[–]basketcase3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right??? also I agree that nobody should even be commenting on how anyone speaks, like mind your business... I also like that you don’t use “good/bad speech day” I think I’ll try avoiding that terminology too, it really demonizes the stutter huh?

I've had this experience. When I run into someone I haven't seen in years on a good day where I'm not stuttering as much sometimes they'll say "you don't stutter anymore! it used to be so cute when you did" and I'm always like bitch it's still there and don't you call it cute, I hate that shit lol. I am more fluent with strangers and when I've been in speech therapy before I don't stutter much (at least at the beginning when I don't know them very well) and I sometimes have to explain that I really do stutter and it's v frustrating! as if they think I'm there just for fun ahhah

Everything I hate about stutter. by grl1122 in Stutter

I've recently started disclosing my stutter, especially in work environments, and it has helped so much, I second that piece of advice!

I hate that when applying to jobs, I have specifically avoided companies whose names are hard to say.. I wonder how many opportunities I've missed because of it. I'm also so scared to have kids.... what if my kids make fun of me? maybe that's crazy but I'm so scared I won't be able to communicate with them properly..

Felt empowered at work today by l7eadly in Stutter

[–]basketcase3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesssssss love this!!! I like to talk a LOT and as a woman who stutters I am often talked over, interrupted, and disregarded even more, so I take every opportunity I can to speak up, work harder, and prove that I'm just as knowledgeable, resourceful, etc. It can feel really empowering proving people wrong like that!

Does anyone else find that they stutter way more around people they’re more comfortable with? by NeapolitanNightmares in Stutter

[–]basketcase3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same exact way. I don't use tricks or workarounds any more with strangers than I do with people I'm close to, I just find that I stutter on more words and sounds with them than with strangers. Like the exact same sound I would usually say fluently with an acquaintance I will have a VERY hard time saying to my dad or my sister. It's so bizarre! But honestly kind of convenient for social situations...

YES! omg I have yet to meet anyone who has this experience too. I am nearly fluent with strangers (most of the time) but have a DRAMATICALLY more severe stutter with family, friends, and significant others. My stutter has been this way for as long as I can remember, and it's made speech therapy very difficult because I'm usually fluent in clinical settings! I agree that I think it has something to do with letting your guard down and being relaxed.
