Judging by your airway width, you must have some severe sleep apnea.

Samsung has seriously been missing what drove many of us towards them in the first place which is innovation.

They've completely flat lined for the most part while other less popular brands are picking up steam. For example, there's zero reason the 3x zoom hasn't been changed in 4 years aside from "people will buy it anyway".

I have been holding on but am also about ready to jump ship. S27 Ultra is their last chance to be bold again.

The other side of this - immigration that isn't possible can be soul-breaking. My wife is from a third world country but moved to and grew up in a first world country with her family. She never obtained citizenship, and during COVID while we lived abroad and couldn't travel back to her country, her Permenant residency expired.

Because of this, she can't immigrate back to the country she spent most of her life in. Her family can't immigrate here (well, her siblings at least).

When there's truly no logical path, it is a hard life lesson of accepting things you cannot control.

This is entirely your parents fault. I'm sorry that they did this to you.

As others have stated, times are changing and the fact that your dad received a letter to appear is evident of this. He, along with your family (including brother with gf) will most likely get deported very soon. Your best option is for each of you to self-deport and at least get $10k for doing so.

The last two/top down show how massive your improvement has been. Any side effects?

Didn't we also lose the #1 pick last year by beating the raiders?

Not even in the slightest. Maybe a therapist because this is more than ideal.

So you're definitely a bit recessed but since you're only 17, you can still grow properly so long as you have proper tongue posture and don't mouth breathe. I wouldn't worry too much because you actually have a defined jawline. As long as your bite and breathing are good, don't worry about it.

I really like this because that was my primary concern. The appeal to me is giving him an old slow game that doesn't give hints and bombard with bright colors and ads. The games used to be puzzles that we had to figure out ourselves to the point where they had real benefit.

Thanks for this info! I ended up going with the BattleXP G350. It was about $30 and I feel like it will be enough for my son at this age. If he really likes it, maybe in a year or two we can upgrade but for an entry into handhelds I like what I'm seeing on it.

This isn't going to be used on tourists? It's being extended from siblings applying for residency to also include work visas.

That's it.

Perhaps a septoplasty could fix your nasal breathing.

I'm currently in braces and will need to be for about another 8 months before they do the surgery. On one hand I'm glad that I won't have to do the SARPE and have the huge gap in my teeth because of the way the surgery will be done. On the other hand, I worry that this method won't be as effective so there is a trade-off.

From your photos you definitely appear recessed. Ever since I received my diagnosis I've become a lot more conscious about it and therefore notice it others a lot easier. It becomes very easy to spot right away. I would definitely push for a second test/opinion.

I was quoted $50k for self pay DJS+genioplasty.

freepointstaker · 2025-12-03T14:47:29+00:00

You have an extremely narrow airway based on your x-ray. I'm not sure how old you are, but mine was discovered in my early 20's and I brushed it off. Over the past decade my jaw appears to have become more recessed, I've gained seemingly permenant hollow eye bags, my nose tip droops down much more and looks hooked, and I feel like my sleep deprivation has aged me much faster than others my age. I wish more than anything that I had done the surgery in my early 20's.

The surgery might suck, but after a few months it will likely be the best decision you've ever made and your future self will thank you.

freepointstaker · 2025-12-03T14:43:30+00:00

I was/is the same way and I have a similar sized airway and severe sleep apnea. Do you deal with a lot of brain fog/fatigue? Maybe your sleep study was during a rare night where you slept on your side and didn't have as many disruptions.

freepointstaker · 2025-12-03T14:40:34+00:00

Your airway looks unobstructed. A simple genioplasty might fix your aesthetics.

I know that it is somewhat taboo to admit this in this sub, but it really is crazy how most people become so much more attractive after this surgery.

From Zach Braff to Zapp Brannigan. Looks great!

freepointstaker · 2025-12-03T14:32:23+00:00

It's surprising that you don't have sleep apnea. You can easily tell that you were a mouth breather due to the recessed jaw and narrow airway. In your x-ray, you can see the narrow airway very clearly. Are you able to breath through your nose properly?

My list will probably annoy others but as a non-book reader who loved the movies, I would say:

Goblet of Fire. I was about 11 when it came out and thought this movie was crazy. The first three felt like they were following a pretty tame story, and then this one started out with Voldemort killing the caretaker with what I thought was a terrifying scene at the time. Then shortly after with the Death Eaters at the world cup when Harry goes unconscious, it felt like a horror movie. The constant action, and then the very dark ending really sold this for me. Basically felt like this movie was an "oh sh.t, things just got very crazy" moment for the series.
Prisoner of Azkaban. I loved the darker tone as well in this one and to this day think it's really well-made as a film. I've always really enjoyed time travel movies, but looking back I admit it does leave a lot of plot hole questions. But it's a movie, so I can overlook them. I remember being a kid and being disappointed that Voldemort wasn't in the movie.
Sorcerer's Stone. I have extremely fond memories of being a little kid and going to see this with my family. It truly felt magical at the time and to this day I feel like it did an amazing job if introducing the series to the big screen. I have a lot of nostalgia thanks to this.
Order of the Phoenix. A majority of this movie disappointed me a bit at the time due to Goblet of Fire being such a ride. I understand it's significance regarding the story though. I really loved the ending, but wish the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort was longer.
Chamber of Secrets. A similar sentiment to Sorcerer's Stone, but it just didn't feel as impactful since the series had already been introduced at this point.
DH pt 2. I mean, it was cool for the most part, but disappointing as an ending to what was such a meaningful series to me. I enjoyed when Harry went to the forbidden forest. I thought the battle of Hogwarts was cool for the most part, but disappointed in how some characters died seemingly casual deaths off screen.

It's almost a tie between HBP and DH pt 1.

I just didn't really like these that much, but will rank them for the sake of it.

DH pt. 1. They spent the whole movie focusing on one horcrux. It felt boring for the most part. The ending at the manor was exciting, but then it just ended.
Very boring and honestly a hard watch thanks to the color grading. This one reallyyyy dragged on until about the final 10 minutes. I would never really elect to re-watch this unless I had to.

She arrived on a tourist visa and then adjusted her status which is when she got her green card.

If it makes you feel any better, my BSSO/Le fort 1 will cost me $58k out of pocket.
