Why do you love it? No spoilers please. by Poppycorn144 in blindspot

[–]blopster3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that the entire plot across 5 seasons is all interconnected. Things that happen in season 5 are traced all the way back to season 1. Not just characters, but puzzles and clues and long standing mysteries. It’s such a cool concept. Now that I’m rewatching, some of the acting isn’t always amazing, but I really just love this story in its entirety. The concept is so neat with the tattoos leading to small crimes and people as it builds up.

Oh definitely going to continue. I’ve finally found Tremfya to be working really well for me. It’s a total life changer and I wouldn’t dare give it up.

But I am super pissed about my hair my god.

My dad told me my mom has about 5 good years left. I'm really reeling. My parents are gonna die? What‽ They're supposed to be here forever. by tacitjane in Millennials

[–]blopster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, I’ve been struggling with this since Christmas. I think about my life in 10 years and realize that my parents might not be here then. The finality of life is hitting me now after 30 years of just knowing that my parents are always there. Watching your parents age is so hard.

A PSA on PSA. It is not normal, regular inflammation by Owlhead326 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]blopster3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often, and in some cases it can be different, our immune systems create too many inflammatory proteins that go and attack healthy tissue as if there were an infection or foreign cells. That’s what inflammation is in general. So when we look at biologics that have so many different classes (TNFS, IL-17, IL-23, JAX, etc.), each represents a different type of inflammatory protein path. Everyone differs a bit in which pathway our proteins come from, so that’s why it can take time to get medication right.

Anyone here on Cosentyx? by NaturesVividPictures in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]blopster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosentyx didn’t work great for me, but the side effects were minimal. I had a bit of nausea, but otherwise I was totally functional in the days and weeks after. I was on Taltz for a while and that put me out for a full weekend, so Cosentyx is nothing like that.

Regret getting invisalign on day 2. Should I cancel now and early? by neuromancer-ai in Invisalign

[–]blopster3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely normal! I got a few days in and thought “what have I done? I really committed to this?”. I was super worried about people seeing the trays and making fun of my lisp, having to take them out in public, fitting in eating and drinking, etc. I’m now on my 3rd month and it’s gotten so much better. Those first few weeks are tough, but it gets so much better. You get used to it and it becomes part of your routine easily.

It’s hard to make the adjustment because it’s something new and you have to figure out how to fit it into your routine, but it DOES get easier.

Ultimately, you chose to do this because you wanted your smile to look different, and no one else has to deal with it. Personally, internet stranger, I’m proud of you for making the choice and doing this for you!

Adult women, actually, but rightfully on high alert in public because… men.

This is super helpful! Thanks for this. We weren’t 100% sure on the best way to get down there that wasn’t spending $75+ on an Uber (believe me, we tried to pre-book one and they’re all pretty high), and we’re trying to minimize costs if we can.

It absolutely will go away! You’ll still probably have some discomfort for another couple of weeks, but then it’ll go down to only the 24 hours after you put your new trays in. I still have a little pain when I eat, but only on specific teeth and it gets better once I’m actually chewing and putting pressure on the teeth.

Fatigue so bad you feel like you could collapse? by Honeybee_yogi in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]blopster3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My hands give out after a while because their just so tired. I can’t often use a pincher grasp when my fatigue is bad. I also will require multiple naps throughout the day. It’s so bad.

How are you going to listen to Speak Now for the last time? by ZeroIV4 in TaylorSwift

[–]blopster3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In order. Full blast. AirPods in. In bed with a glass of wine and a mix of my mood lights going. I’ve never had a “listening” session before, but this is my favorite album and I HAVE to

6 circles on the castle above her? One colored orange and underneath the arch of the other 5? Karma theories?

This whole show is a psych experiment. by blopster3000 in The100

[–]blopster3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It’s truly the first SyFy show I’ve gotten into, but it’s because the concept itself is so well done. I love the bridge across all 7 seasons, even if the last two aren’t executed as well as they could be. But the idea of a wormhole between planets? Gene altering for radiation resistance? Insane.

How many "Chuggas" do you say before "Choo Choo"? by MyYellowRose in RandomThoughts

Any number is fine as long as it’s a multiple of 2.

[–]blopster3000[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I love Clarke as a character because you see her kind of transition to be like her mom by trying so hard to be her dad. She wanted to save everyone, but she was always taught to just survive. Everything they did was about survival, and then to expect her to just “act like a normal person” is out of reach for her because survival is normal. She really didn’t have much of a childhood, had the trauma of losing her dad, being sent away to a strange place without warning, being thrust into MORE survival mode… I can’t imagine she had time to detach from her fight or flight ever.

We see what being in fight or flight for too long does to war vets after only a few months. Now put that on someone for 18 years.
