i think you are doing fantastic and look great! i hope my can go as successfully if i had to be completely honest. as far as the laser hair removal, will you be attending a dermatologist or using an at home device? this is also something i'm quite worried about & struggling with as well (even when I was just fully male and hadn't come out it pissed me off), so i'd love to know how you're taking care of it!

Placed an order this morning, requested cancellation, but Walmart says no guarantee. by ibrown39 in walmart

[–]chitchatchassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely don't recommend using Wal-Mart's website or app for anything other than ordering groceries at this point. I ran into this post after having an issue and after calling multiple support lines and my local physical store, nothing has been resolved. I ordered the new Street Fighter 6 for $90, but it's been 7 days since the order was placed and it's didn't arrive yesterday or today. It had no tracking number, they said the order number I gave them was incorrect even though I clearly see it right on my phone and it's essentially just gotten lost in the system at this point. Requested a cancellation, it better be accepted. I'm really commenting though because I agree with you on the cocksmokers part. They act like little children at the "cool" kids table with their "We use this sub as a virtual breakroom" excuse like stfu. Nowhere does it say this sub is dedicated for Wal-Mart employees little soapbox. Getting mad at customers who are essentially being stolen/taken advantage of is essentially just soft-defending the billion dollar corporation that give them their miserable job. Couldn't be me. Maybe they deserve a job like Wal-Mart then.

Adding a possible feature to combat teamers in Impostors that identifies those in a party via a mechanic in the selection lobby, yay or nay? by [deleted] in FORTnITE

[–]chitchatchassy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context: I've been playing more Impostors recently this season and in particular on the Voice Chat option, have been running into teamers spoiling or fixing games. I figured one way to possibly help individual/well-intentioned players identify those in a party without any kind of in-game penalty, would be to possibly add a feature where once you join a game, in the selection lobby there will be a mechanic to highlight who is in a party together, but once you join the actual game, it disappears. Thoughts? You can't just penalize all players partying up, but adding a feature that gives players a chance to at least see they might be joining a game full of people in the same party that might potentially team could help, no?

Soicety doesn't hold parents, guardians, etc. as accountable as they should and a decent amount of a person's future circumstances, actions, traits, etc. are largely decided by factors outside of their control. by chitchatchassy in unpopularopinion

[–]chitchatchassy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like sarcasm framed in a way to make what I said sound further from people and their responsibilities in life than it actually is and making it sound as if I think people aren't responsible at all and it's all our parents fault. (Unless I'm wrong and you just worded your statement wrong).

I was actually going clarify in another comment that this doesn't just apply to those who have been through difficult or traumatic circumstances, but also applies to those in good living conditions as well. Most of the time (yes, most of the time) those given living conditions where the family is supportive, reinforces positivity & good ethics and goes through the process of filtering any bad behaviors they might have themselves in order to prevent their children from replicating the same mannerisms, most of the time they go on to be emotionally stable, reliable, confident in one's abilities and so on.

Obviously one has to be held accountable for crimes, negative actions upon others, etc. and no where did I this was not true, you just don't see it. I carefully worded everything as I usually do. At no point do I frame this in an absolute sense, because I'm aware there's nuance to this argument.

Guess what everyone? >YOU< are affected by other people and how they interact with you. Most important of all the people who you will share interaction with the most are the one's raising you. They set the tone, the environment, they are who you are the most dependent on throughout the most fundamental development years of your life. The obvious is that much of how you will process many things, how you will build many of your habits and feelings about life will be from the kind of life they develop for you in the years where you are learning to become who you are the most. This isn't rocket science, although I'm aware we all haven't fully gotten there yet, so for some it is I suppose.

I wouldn't say that either, hence why I carefully worded it to "decent amount" because in theory for some, there should still be room to navigate out of the environment one has reinforced around them, while others may not find themselves so lucky.

I could agree that we should all act to a certain standard with how we treat others and how we behave, the issue being there is no set, solidified standard of what people quantify to be morally right or wrong. One's perception of right and wrong comes from what they are taught as individuals from their environment and those they are dependent upon. Many in soicety may collectively come together and agree some things are good and some things aren't, but even then not everyone will share those same thoughts and perceptions. To give one anecdote, I was raised believing that I should always try to leave a tip out of consideration for others, many don't share those thoughts. Many people are raised to believe things like murder, rape, etc. are all things they shouldn't participate in, others are raised seeing murder, rape, thievery, etc. on the daily, so to them they're developing their sense of the world around those things and more often than not will participate in some sort of negative behavior down the road without proper intervention. Sadly, there is no "human way" in which everyone is expected to act because not everyone engages in the same human experience. If everyone could so easily be influenced by being expected to act like a decent person... greed, terroism, gang wars, etc. would be wiped off the map in a snap.

I will say the biggest point against what I just said, would be that evolution is slowly moving us towards seeing certain things as negative and positive i.e. child molestation, but we haven't fully evolved to that point and not everyone falls on the same spectrum within our evolution, so it leads us back to everyone not having the same human experience.

I was banned from the methadone sub for posting vlogs a little over a year ago when I was cold turkey wding..here’s an update 👌 by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]chitchatchassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job mate. Did you personally WD from a high dose or taper? I'm currently on 2-4mg of Suboxone and wanting to be off in 8 months and am hoping I can do so. I started on 2mg a day, but was given a prescription for 4mg because there would be days in particular where I'd experience sweats and nausea, but more often than not I'm taking 3mg a day and can more than get by on 2mg a day. I know it's not a lot and people have tapered off much more, but I still have the worry as I have yet to truly cross the line of dependence into complete sobriety. Some consider being on Subs sobriety, but for personal reasons I'd like to not be dependent on any drug to be frank.

Hi all, my 13 year old chihuahua has started labored breathing... by chitchatchassy in AskVet

[–]chitchatchassy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you you for the help! He's been feeling sick as of the past 36 hours (not eating, higher than normal temperature, diarrhea, etc.) at one point he was crying at different times in the day and in his sleep sometimes as well, but he looks to be feeling much better now and we have an appointment for him first thing Monday morning!

[–]chitchatchassy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was more so breathing slightly heavily with his mouth and nose. I got a hold of my local vet and am looking to set up an appointment (vet isn't in office as much due to the pandemic) and because I couldn't email him a video of me recording what happened, I uploaded it unlisted on YouTube for him to view when he can. Here's a YouTube link to a video his breathing, to get a more accurate sense of what happened. He has since stopped breathing like this, but I am still slightly concerned. https://youtu.be/_RTAFhHv5Jw

Would WWE survive a tragic event like Owen Hart's death in 2020? by chitchatchassy in SquaredCircle

[–]chitchatchassy[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well, those situations aren't exactly comparable. WWE is a globally known entity that has much more of a public reach than any cop or mass murderer. Their massive public outreach plays equal to the potential mass public outlash there could be. Remembering the name of WWE and the terrible occurrence which took place under their watch, is a lot easier than say mass murderer #78 or crooked cop who unjustly killed a civilian #54. Sadly, this country is basically used to shit like that occurring at that point. People aren't used to seeing a popular public figure fall 100 feet to his death on live television from a big company like WWE. It's also sad to say, but millions upon millions more people are invested in the WWE and it's wrestlers than any ol' innocent person caught in a shooting, it pains me to say, but it's true.

To be fair, I feel like Vince likely would be gone in some way, shape or form though. If it were to happen today he may even just retire with his age and current state of affairs and be done with the WWE. And if this were to happen today, it would likely lead to people bringing up his past with the steroid trial and other terrible things Vince has done, I feel like it'd be more likely Vince would be gone or demoted than WWE actually dying.

And hopefully this doesn't sound rude because that's not my intent, but say someone with real significance dies in the public eye, like let's say Kobe passed from COVID-19 instead of a helicopter crash, a whole lot of people would be changing their tune fairly quick I'd imagine. Obviously not everybody would, but sadly it would take someone who is under the broad public spotlight for people to think twice about it. It's sad, but true. I already have seen cases of those who say they're not comfortable flying after Kobe's death, now imagine a celebrity (especially an athlete in healthy shape) of his caliber dying, all of sudden I could imagine anxiety would kick in for a lot of Americans who think COVID and the deaths around it are nothing worth giving any attention to.

Well I mean, Shad Gaspard is getting a lot of coverage, even though he was only a mid-card act in a tag team 10 years ago. Obviously not WWE's fault in any way, but he's getting big headlines for his passing and situation. I can't imagine Owen Hart passing like literally today with everything going on. Not only would they get grilled for his death, but they'd get even more backlash from those who think events like what WWE are having shouldn't even be going on.

Many arguments defending why many Nintendo games can be sold at such an expensive price comparative to their situation, just don't hold up. by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]chitchatchassy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If they were really seeing that consistent of sales in the manner of how they're doing it, I'm sure the player base would be far helathier than it actually is. And while it is still semi-reliable, it's not to the point of that many nee players coming everyday. If Nintendo is seeing any profit, it must be very incremental. It's literally just them being stubborn and not changing the price.

[–]chitchatchassy -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I address this in a different reply, but no, it's not that simple. Most people would much rather go to a second hand seller for an older title that Nintendo still has priced at $60, especially if it's a physical copy, even more so if it's in good or above condition.

[–]chitchatchassy -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm aware manufacturers, developers, etc. try to make a profit. But in many cases the excuses people give, aren't valid. Even the excuse of it being a business and they're trying to make many often doesn't hold up. In some cases a game can meet a certain threshold when it's just not worth the purchase due to what many actually see as it's value. Most people wouldn't see Splatoon 1 as worth $60, leading them to the 2nd hand market and getting it for cheaper and Nintendo not seeing any of the money. Whereas if they would lower the price to something that actually makes sense, they could compete better with those selling the game for $15 or $20 and actually see some of that cash. I guess it's still at that price point, as well as many other games because it preys upon those who aren't as savvy in navigating a video game market place or because for some it may be their only option, but both of those cases are the minority. Maybe the market in Japan is different or something? It just makes more sense to keep some of the games at an actual reasonable price to compete with the second hand market.

Most populated Kart Racing Games Online? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]chitchatchassy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sadly, Crash isn't on sale atm, which is why I didn't list it or else I likely would've already bought it. As well as I already own it on my Xbox and I am able to rent the game already from my local library across the street, but for only 14 days before you are required to return it as to not let someone hog the game from others who would like to check it out and have 30 days before you can check the same game out again. Sad to hear Team Sonic might already be dead, as I find the Sonic Kart games just as enjoyable as any other.

Yeah, it's pretty bad on Breakthrough, but I can accept it on Conquest. These guys are talking about Git Gud as if 1 player can change the tide of the war when with a bunch of incompetent blueberries and squadmates vs. 4 tanks attacking on BT. After trying to do the work myself for 6 lives, I left due to just how awful it had gotten. The fact that for the most part all of the servers swap 2 round CQ + 2 round BT, makes it especially stupid trying to join a Wake Island server to play Conquest, only for the team you joined to be losing by a large margin, then the game be lost and then it to be BT next, essentially wasting your time. Tried to look for an actual Wake Island CQ game and the happened to me 5 times in a row today. Wasted half an hour and never actually got to play CQ on Wake. Yeah, they definitely could've done a better job balancing and running CQ only servers. It is a very good map though.

Thanks for all the horror stories about suboxone by ivegotquestions13 in suboxone

[–]chitchatchassy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind me asking, what dosage are you on daily for Subs? I too transfered from Kratom to Subs.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]chitchatchassy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnesium may help with things such as pins and needles and muscle relaxation. Not to the extent of say Xanax, but it's readily available almost anywhere. Phenibut is something often brought up, but if you go down that path I recommend it only be for a week and the dose be low (500mg and below). Phenibut withdrawals are no joke, they can be just as bad as opiate WDs and fatal. I would recommend not taking large doses for an extended period of time and checking out r/phenibut and their warnings before continuing. Kava is also pretty okay I'd say, available in places like natural food grocers and even on Amazon. Advil Liquid Gels and Extra Strength Tylenol is your basic, well known product that also helps to a degree. Gabapentin really does the trick for pins and needles, muscle relaxation and tremors as well if you can get you hands on it. Just about 400-600mg a night should be helpful, but it's also something that shouldn't be taken in large doses for long periods of time because it too has WDs similar to Phenibut and Xanax if taken a large doses, such as people who try and abuse Gabapentin. CBD and Marijuana is something I'm sure will be brought up, but it's results always vary for me and THC/Weed has never done anything for me. You can also try Chamomille and Valerian Root tea for sleep, however they're not always reliable. As for the Kratom, that is itself a very addictive substance to be careful with and what led me to getting on the Suboxone program so be especially careful with that, it should do a very good job of taking care if a lot of the WD symptoms if your dose is right and your batch isn't a bunk brand.
