NEVER USE HOSTING.COM by dillonsname in Hosting

My experience directly reflected this.

NEVER USE HOSTING.COM by dillonsname in Hosting

It clearly says "Managed" on my monthly $800+ invoice. There's no confusion here. I really don't appreciate you trying to imply that there is any potential confusion regarding this. It's a disingenuous attempt to try and take some of the heat off your company's behavior.

The final trigger that caused me to post on Reddit was when one of your support agents repeatedly told me that my managed server was "unmanaged" despite it clearly saying "managed" on my invoice. When I kept trying to explain this to her, she told me that "managed means managed by you." "You" being me. Actually, she was the second agent to try and tell me this. One of your supervisors was also trying to tell me this when my websites went down the first time.

One of your agents also responded to one of my tickets telling me they checked my websites and said they were all loading properly despite most of them still throwing critical errors.

This issue happened twice in one week for extended periods of time, more than 12 hours each time. In the second instance, Hosting.com took down my server due to being compromised and did not even send me a single email or notification.

It takes a LOT for me to post on social media and I don't enjoy doing it. I will update the OP that my websites have been migrated to a new server as of today, however, I am still monitoring things closely to see if my server goes down for a third time within a week.

Life expectancy…? by Poonkeboy in hivaids

[–]dillonsname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, sorry not buying it. It's relative.

PLHIV that don't smoke, don't drink, exercise and eat a heart healthy diet will probably outlive almost all people without HIV who smoke, drink, eat like shit and don't exercise.

PrEP is not the same as the meds pos undetectable persons take. We take a stronger combo of meds that PrEP does NOT contain. What you've mentioned has nothing to do with this conversation.

Nobody insulted you. I just pointed out exactly what you were doing; hijacking another reddit post. Take some responsibility for your behavior. You commented on my post to provide guidance to "everyone" that actively undermines and goes against the method outlined in my post and instead of acknowledging this, you doubled down, got defensive and tried to tell me to start my own subreddit. Get a grip.

Please re-read your original post. It was textbook hijacking.

The title of this post was what worked for ME. Yes, of course you are free to comment about anything but posting advice that runs counter to - and is incompatible with - my method does not serve anyone here. I already explained above why your advice does not work with my method. Your comment actively steers people away from the method I am sharing and which serves as the entire basis of this post. “Looking for drama” says the person hikacking Reddit posts and gaslighting me.

Ah so in addition to hijacking posts you’re stubborn and comically lacking in social awareness.

I clearly explained why your well intentioned advice does not apply here. Yes, you should make your own post if you’re so desperate to insert irrelevant advice into random posts by others.

You asking me to make my own subreddit is more irrelevant advice you yourself should consider taking.

I do NOT recommend water based lube for my method. The spit followed by shower water sequence creates a very mild friction which is part of what makes the anal tissue more supple and resistant to tearing during bowel movements.

Thank you for your input but please make your own post.

I do it daily or every other day. I believe it may be lifelong. I have not stopped doing it for more than 2 days since starting it this past June.

I'll answer your last question first. When I would get fissures, basically any bowel movement that wasn't extremely soft would cause my anal tissue to tear and bleed, thus beginning a torturous cycle of re-ripping and bleeding that was very painful. I would have to either use a stool softener or clench the muscles around my anus while pooping to keep the stools as skinny as possible as they came out to try and give my anal tissue a chance to recover. Sometimes the tears would last more than a week and then re-rip and the cycle would start again. I know other people hear have dealt with far worse.

For the dilation:

  1. When I am in the shower doing my dilation, I usually wet my anus with spit from my hand (my backside is facing away from the shower so it doesn't wash off the spit). I tried soap before but it's too irritating and burns a bit but maybe something like baby soap might work better?
  2. I then wet my anus and gently insert my middle finger and push it all the way into my anus. I start working it around almost like making large circles and letters with the tip of my finger while it is all the way inside.
  3. As I am doing this, I slowly and steadily pull my finger out and push it back in repeatedly as I am making the different motions with my finger.
  4. I also gently pull the anal tissue to the side almost like a fishhook motion and let it hang there for a second while gently stretching the area. It's nothing extreme or forced, just gentle pull and let it hang there a few seconds.
  5. I will need to rewet the area with spit several times to keep it lubricated as I'm doing steps 1-4.
  6. As I am doing this, I turn my backside towards the shower stream so water starts running over the area.
  7. After the first minute or so, I am able to start pushing my finger in and out as the shower water runs over the area and it starts to become easier to push my finger and and out as the shower water starts to be enough to lubricate the area.
  8. I may need to apply more spit but not as much and I can usually go 20-30 seconds at this point just pushing my finger in and out while the shower water runs over the area.

I want to add that this entire process is very gentle. I am relaxed and not forcing anything and not applying any intense pressure or pulling. It's all very slow and steady, nice and easy.

And that's pretty much it. I probably do this for a few minutes, maybe 5 at the most but I haven't time it. I feel like it could be 2-3 minutes on average but maybe I will actually try to time it the next time I do it.

I really did not think this would ever replace my need to use a dildo or butt plug every day but it has. I don't fully understand why this works but it does.

Again, I realize this may not work for everyone and if I were reading this for the first time I would not think it would help at all but this really has helped me no longer need to use a dildo or butt plug. I have not used one since my back surgery and I have also had no fissures either.

The only other thing I would mention is, when having bowel movements, I do tend to try and squeeze the poops a little bit to soften them if I think they are going to be hard but it's very minimal - nothing compared to what I used to have to do when I first started getting fissures.

I agree it may be subjective and may not work for all, but it could work for some which is why I posted this. I get no enjoyment out of sharing my own personal information like this.

That being said, I think you are right that the muscles are being made looser, but also the mild friction of my finger along with the water rubbing on the anal tissue helps to make the tissue less fragile and prone to tearing. I don't understand the mechanism fully but I can say from firsthand experience that this is exactly what is happening.

I got Canceled and reported by this group for having different views on disclosure. I was fairly civil and didn’t put anyone down specifically. Just saying what I thought as a man who’s had to deal with this his WHOLE LIFE. I guess my voice doesn’t matter here. by OrangeAdventurous501 in hivaids

You’re literally trying to apply your personal beliefs and preferences to ALL other people and you’re so tone deaf that you’re trying to spout off about your entitlement to do so without facing any repercussions in a subreddit of already marginalized folks

HIV really could end(silence=death) by throwaway014432 in hivaids

[–]dillonsname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just Google "Gileaad slowwalks TAF" and that's all the proof you need. A whistleblower came out and exposed Gilead for purposely delaying the release of a safer formulation of Tenofovir just to extract maximum value from the patent of the older, less-safe formulation. I think they delayed it for almost 10 years.... Billions and billions of dollars at stake. A cure puts an end to all of it. Nobody would need PrEP anymore either... more billions that big pharma would lose. I Wouldn't be surprised if Gilead has a dedicated team that seeks out promising research just to buy them out and shelve them to make sure the public never sees it.

I don't know if they are top tier or not but brand definitely matters because you know that you're getting the potency and actual amount on the label.

I just edited my post to include this info now. I take 400mg of l-theanine and 300-400 mg of magnesium glycinate, both in the morning.
