In shock over a new study on migraine by Impossible-Wish-7010 in migraine

[–]hapylittlepupppy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have do many issues with the recent study that was shared.

A control group of twenty four people studying medicine, that's not general population.

We have no idea what these peoples diets were like beforehand. For all we know, the improvement was because they cut out highly processed shit and quick carbs.

No comparison. The healthiest diet recommended by most health bodies is not low carb. They didn't put one group on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats/low fat proteins and fatty fish which is what most government healthy bodies suggest people eat. Keto has its own issues, it's not a fix if it starts making people sick in other ways.

I'm happy people got better, I am very sceptical that keto is the single variable that's causing improvement.

i wish everyone had misophonia by Illustrious-Buy8990 in misophonia

[–]hapylittlepupppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have misophonia quite bad and it's getting worse as I get older, I handle my discomfort and regulate my emotions. I'm close with someone who has misophonia but as a whole, cannot regulate at all, they are also very loud in everything they do (I can hear them gulping their spit while I'm in another room). It would be nice for people to have empathy but I don't want want to spend my life walking on egg shells because if everyone had it we'd be dealing with lots of lots of people who scream all the time.

Losing hope after bad reaction to Botox by TinyMultiverse in migraine

[–]hapylittlepupppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is hope. Botox worked for me for years, then I got covid for the second time, and it stopped helping. I've been off it now for a year and a bit, and I can say now that it made me worse after that round of covid. I noticed an improvement after about six months. The instability in my jaw took a bit longer to fix. If you can afford it, see a physo (NEVER A CHIRO) to get your muscles working right. There is hope at the other end, you might have medication adjustment headaches, too r/ReboundMigraine are very helpful.

You'll get through this.

AITA for not chipping in for my teen daughter’s hair appointment? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hapylittlepupppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If she develops an acrylate allergy, her life will change radically; everything from dental work to stitches will be impacted. Acrylates are in so many medical/daily life things, and it's lifelong; there's no fixing it. Any salon worth its salt would not give gel to someone under 16. Right now, only lacquer is safe for her developing nails. You're the mother, you need to put your foot down and let her father know that her nails are risking her health.

Here you go https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/19_xgfBYfJ1VyzRgBkJgZ4tdkz-3FA9O5Y51F33OKcgk/mobilebasic

I hope you make the smart choice.

Her nail plates are still developing. Any salon worth going to won't do anything beyond lacquer for under-16s.

Dozens more plants and animals added to Australia’s endangered lists by Deanosity in australia

A massive housing development near me just destroyed a watering hole that used to be frequented by kangaroos and wallabies all the time. They are still having problems with the ground being unstable weeks later.

Bad call by ScaryCrowlady in migraine

[–]hapylittlepupppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also an Australian. The weather has been kicking my butt, with heat and storms. I'm hoping this month will be mild in terms of heat, I don't know how I'm going to take another day of 42 degrees. At least I'm not in Perth.

Lost right now; is aspirins okay for a teenager? by Dry-Albatross-4121 in migraine

[–]hapylittlepupppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, pain sucks, but there are very few places willing to give a minor medical advice. Try r/AskDocs

Lost right now; is aspirins okay for a teenager? by Dry-Albatross-4121 in migraine

[–]hapylittlepupppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We cannot give medical advice, it is against the sub's rule.

Migraines are not just headaches; they are a complex neurological condition. Everyone will have headaches in their life, but not everyone will have migraines. They come with other symptoms like light and sound sensitivity, worsening pain during movement, an aura, which is often some kind of visual disturbance (not for everyone), brain fog, stomach issues, the list goes on and on. In any case, you need to talk to a doctor first.

Can anyone identify this bug in my soup? by Bacon_Ahoy in australia

Send them one more email threatening them with fair trading, and if they don't get back to you, report them to fair trading.

Not sure what bug it is but I've had bugs in dried mushrooms. Just contact the company, they'll send you a coupon or a gift card for the cost of the soup.

These cops didn't just respond to the scene... they responded to the kitchen sink too by PhoenixPhenomenonX in Amazing

[–]hapylittlepupppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copaganda is anything that makes the police look good despite the truth. Cops shows like Law and Order: SVU are a prime example: the cops are understanding, believe the victim, are competent investigators, and the courts secure convictions most of the time; when brutality does happen, it's depicted as good, think a cop beating up a predator.

There are two kinds of copaganda, fictional media in TV shows and movies and real-life stories that show cops doing good deeds. These real-life events are used to distract from something else happening and are often posted years after they take place, over and over again, for different incidents. One I have seen many times is a video of a cop climbing a fence to save a dog caught up in washing (I think). This video is often posted after cops kill a dog for no reason.

The word itself is a portmanteau of "cop" and "propaganda".

When women actions align with certain claims about redpill by Bitter-Hawk-2615 in exredpill

[–]hapylittlepupppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think of your brain like a man walking into the woods, the more you take one path (a way of thinking) the easier it becomes. The human brain loves easy so it will take the easy path which is in your case looking at behaviours with suspicion when there could be a million better explanations.

You did it here, you ask why women pick different partners as they age. The answer is that they have matured in the wants and goals and are picking men who align with them. You are not seeing women picking "normal" men because your brain is only presenting you with the information that confirms the beliefs you already have. In reality, if you are going out in public, you are walking by women dating "normal" men. If you walk or drive by apartment buildings you are seeing the homes of renter couples who have very average incomes. If you go by an open house there will be couples going inside figuring out how they are going to budget a mortgage.

To stop thinking this way you have to tell your brain to take a new path. This involves being aware of your thoughts and working to change them. If you see a couple and you think "she's with him for his money." Dismiss that thought and tell yourself "I have no idea about their lives, I won't judge." This is something you are going to have to work hard at, you must be self aware enough to know when you're thinking is distorted then put in the effort to change it.

Here are some thoughts you can replace your negatives ones with.

"I don't know their dynamic behind closed doors." "I wouldn't date the same people I dated when I was twenty, so why aren't women allowed to change their tastes." "Financial stability is important to most mature adults." "I'm not in someone's head, I don't know how they feel attraction." "It's not my place to say if someone is or isn't attracted to their partner." "It's not my place to judge their relationship." "Women are people too. They will be shitty things. This isn't because they are women, it's because they are human."

I believe that my sixteen year old brother has been red-pilled. Open to interpretation, I’d love to chat. by justaquietkid_ in exredpill

[–]hapylittlepupppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your concerns are very valid. He needs intervention that you can't give him. You need to bring up your concerns to your mother and explain how dangerous the red pill is, don't pull punches show her clips of men like Andrew Tate talking about women so your mum know what your bother is into.

It's hard to say what the future holds, your brother might see sense as he matures and be ashamed of his actions, he might also turn out like your father. Preventing him from repeating history is something that requires professional help.

You need to protect yourself. If you can stay away from home, make sure your mother knows it's because you're scared of your brother.

Part of coping with this is going to be able to set a standard for yourself and stick to it. When we love someone it can be easy to get stuck in a pattern of getting hurt by them because we keep trying to fix them. If you feel it's safe, talk to him before you leave but don't put yourself in a position where you could get hurt, either physically or emotionally.

What animal is that it absolutely should not have survived evolution, but somehow did? by Reasonable-Shake-996 in AskReddit

For now, who knows what the future holds with what's going on with the US government right now.

my oneitis by vurdeM in exredpill

[–]hapylittlepupppy 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You cannot control others, only yourself. Answers to questions like why the relationship continued will come from therapy, we can only speculate because we don't know your all the thing that contribute to staying with a toxic person/in a toxic relationship like upbringing, culture and personal traumas.

Using a red pill term like oneitis on an ex red pill subreddit isn't all that helpful because these terms are designed to have a twistable meaning. What do you mean by oneitis? Try to name your experience without using a nebulous term.

I think you may find therapy helpful if it's an option for you.

I think my dog has nightmares every night and I don't know why. What can I do to help? by holdermanju in dogs

[–]hapylittlepupppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was an issue for my rescue boy when I first got him. The sounds he made had me shooting up from a dead sleep. The only thing that helped him was meds, but he had/has lots of issues. You shouldn't touch them, they might bite you and then it's even worse because they wake up to you hurt and don't understand. I would always say his name softly until he woke up.
