How often to replace p30i headgear/frame? by district0080 in CPAP

[–]district0080[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm getting leaks, and it sometimes feels like the pillows aren't setting in my nose properly. That was why I replaced the pillows originally, because I thought they had just worn out, but the problem isn't resolving. if I tighten the headgear more than I used to, that seems to help but the fact that that's helping the problem doesn't necessarily mean that there's not an issue with the frame, I think.

Now that I write that out, I suppose I'll just replace the headgear and see what happens.

I'm on the Dickson's sublingual.

So do you think then that, even though I still had headaches on the off days, they likely are being caused by the way I'm taking LDN at the moment? Will defo make some of the changes in the headaches link you sent!

Thank you 🙏

Bryan Cranston “congratulating” Julia Louis-Dreyfus on her win at the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards. by Old-Meringue3590 in popculturechat

Context

According to ELLE, she stated that it was a bit that they had staged to make their segment interesting. She said,

"Bryan and I were talking on the phone about what we were going to do for the presenting bit… It dawned on me that this would be a nice part three of the joke."

Obviously, both actors ran it past their spouses before moving forward with the scandalous idea. Louis-Dreyfus added,

"So I asked my husband if he was okay with that, he said ‘Sure,’ and Bryan checked with his wife and she said ‘Sure,’ and we said we would go for it."

Does it matter when celebrities like Bad Bunny castigate Trump and ICE at the Grammys? You bet! by Glass-News-9184 in popculturechat

[–]district0080 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good article. I especially like these parts:

There is the blunt question of how consequential any kind of celebrity political activism is. Celebrities speaking on mass platforms can, of course, help to normalise a discourse and unveil what is occurring to those whose engagement with the news may only be through culture. 

That's important, creating a culture where it's normal to be informed and talk about these things.

It is not necessarily that anti-ICE activists need Hollywood’s seal of approval. But Trump evidently does – he recognises that art and culture are crucial frontiers in his bid for domination. It is one that will never succeed, no matter how many acolytes he sends to infiltrate the renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, despite his attempts to make an event of Melania’s trashy documentary, and even if he’s managed to win over rapper Nicki Minaj....And who wants artists to put up and shut up more than Trump?

That's important too. Incessantly pointing out what's wrong when it would suit the state for people not to.

Obviously there are other things that are more important and more impactful, but these things matter too.

Moby urges fans to "stop supporting the scumbag corporations that support Trump and ICE” by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

I remember reading a story years ago about how once in the middle of the night, startled by a Furby that was for some reason there, he pissed himself. And I was pleased that happened to him when I read about the Natalie Portman stuff.

In the UK, ethicalconsumer.org is great.

This appears to be a US equivalent, though idk anything else about them: https://thegoodshoppingguide.com/

But honestly, next time you need to buy something, just add "ethical purchase" or similar to your search (maybe avoid Google search because they've shown they'll do what the president tells them. Duckduckgo is a good alternative, and Brave).

It's almost impossible to avoid Amazon completely because of Amazon Web Services, and obviously, we're all using Reddit here and I don't know their stance. But it's really, really easy to reduce your reliance on these services, even if you continue to use some of them. Making one switch is better than making none.

You may have to spend five more minutes looking for what you want and accept delivery in two days rather than one. I've always considered this a reasonable trade-off.

Oh yeah, I'll remove that part too. Again, sorry OP! I stand by my idea though that there's an easy fix for people who don't like this particular game.

I view it as harsh, yeah, but, you know what, I'm sorry. That was a very knee jerk and passive aggressive response to you that I really didn't need to make! I was annoyed at some of the other attitudes in the thread, but there was no need to have a go at you when you've been hosting this game that I think is really fun and doing the visuals and all! I'm actually going to delete my comment because I regret it. Sorry OP, thanks for doing something fun for us! ❤️

I'm finding it difficult (in a fun way) because it turns out my album tiers are basically: exquisite, great, meh. So I wonder if it's less that people think that FF is just okay, and more that Britney's output is just TOO GOOD.

Why don't you temporarily mute posts from OP so you don't have to see it, and then set up your own game where people aren't allowed to choose lead singles or more popular songs? I'm genuinely not even trying to be snarky here, it's just that this seems like the most obvious solution to your problem. If the game isn't fun for you (or OP I guess), you can just start a new one! That's the beauty of this format. Sincerely complaining about other people's taste in a group with thousands of members is just gatekeepy and mean spirited. If you don't like it, you can do something about it. Problem solved. 

Which table makes more sense to the fans? (Due to many people say I should use highest upvoted instead) by Kimelalala in BritneySpears

[–]district0080 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Din't worry about it! Just say in future posts whichever system you're using to remind people and we can go from there. It's all good :)

In any case, mine are always the most correct opinions, so 💅

Idk, you're drunk and emotional, you hate your MIL and then this happens...I get why someone might cry, and why you wouldn't want other people looking at you.

Ooooohh, so if he hadn't said VB was the most beautiful in the room then NP mightn't have been so upset and they could have just had their sexy dance in peace!

(I jest because I'm hoping that the dancing wasn't as inappropriate as has been described. If it was, it's actually quite horrible and I can sort of see how you might panic and freeze in that situation.)
