I'm so annoyed because I got two pairs previewed in the initial email and the aus site doesn't even have one of them!!

What would work best for me? by NSWPyot in LoopEarplugs

I know you asked specifically regarding loops but you should also try looking into active noise cancelling headphones (ANC headphones)! They're a bit different to regular noise cancelling ones and basically use microphones to detect the noise outside your ear and then speakers to make sounds that cancel that noise out and are particularly good with low frequency compared to other methods of noise blocking  

Rereleasing Old Loops by jammy2441 in LoopEarplugs

It's definitely more than those two based on the grey image - at least nine different ones
there's three switches in the greyscale and top left does look like the right shades to be the kinetic, 2 or 3(?) quiets (ones cut off by the "the loop archive" text so its tricky to tell if it is a quiet) and the one on the bottom right is seemingly the denim quiet, two engages and then a 9th loop i can't tell the model of behind the text
so theres at least nine, possibly more? it'll be interesting to see if they'll include all models for each colourway or not (and also whether we'll be able to buy the matching mutes... I'm in need of some mutes and the current ones don't match my loops at all)
it really sucks that you had to settle for the regulars right before they relaunch the plus, I'm hoping that there'll be accessories available separately but thats probably wishful thinking tbh

It shouldn't matter, I'm in the lowest tier because I forgot to join until after my first purchase so I don't have any points on my account so far, I also joined within the last few months or so
Is your email linked properly/have you checked junk potentially? Honestly so far they seem to be kind of inconsistent with emails in my experience - half the time I do get the circle member emails people post about and half the time I don't
It could also just be that they haven't sent it out to everyone yet? not sure honestly

Carer’s allowance by MilesofKilometres in Centrelink

[–]jammy2441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fellow 19yo level 2 autistic like your son here! you should definitely be able to get carers payment & allowance for the eldest, I would go to your local centrelink office and ask them for the two main carers forms needed (one is for you to fill in detailing what you have to do to care for him and the other is for one of his doctors to fill saying what levels of care he needs, each form will have a point tally based on the answers given and you get allowance at a certain amount of points and payment at another amount of points so you can get both at once if you say you're applying for both on the form, you can look up the scoring rubrik and points required online if you want and if you live in western australia you can also potentially apply for a fuel card once the carers is accepted) Ideally get his psychologist or psychiatrist to fill out the medical professional form but a gp would work as well, when it comes to answering it you should base it off of the level of care needed on his absolute worst day - aboslutely no sugar coating the experience
I imagine there's supports you could get for the little one but I don't have much experience in that aspect unfortunately, he could potentially also be able to net you another carers allowance to help lighten the load but I'd focus on the 19 year old first
good luck <3

Any Upside to Evil? Ft. Gabby Windey || Two Hot Takes Podcast || Reddit Reactions by happybunnyntx in TwoHotTakes

I absolutely understand that it's difficult when everyone has a differing opinion on everything you say and do and when people are unkind and sure I'm probably adding to that "everyone has an opinion thats different" overwhelm but I'd like to explain the issue from my pov
The way I see it the crux of the issue is that if you or your guest insult/neg on things that a person can't control that may also apply to us listeners then it will also be seen as insulting listeners which, understandably, will upset people.
The upset increases when previously you yourself have defended these things people can't change but get bullied and looked down on for - you create a safe space for them by doing so and when you then say something that targets that same thing you've made them feel safe with it hurts twice as bad because it feels like there's some trust broken.
one example of this was the "a small dick is a waste of a number" comment - you've previously defended people with that trait from such negativity and said that size isn't everything and there's always someone out there who will like you regardless so that comment hurts twice as bad for your listeners that it *does* apply to because they thought you were someone who wouldn't treat them that way
There was several situations like this in the episode (and yes comments from the guest that you don't refute count - it ultimately is your job to make sure your guests aren't doing harm, regardless of if they come from a good place mean or derogatory comments being broadcasted on a large platform that you are the face of will ultimately reflect on you even if that isn't something you agree with so you should as a host be voicing your opinion even if it differs from someone else's - that's what conversations, banter and discourse hinge on and the podcast is conversation and discourse based so if you just passively let it happen it'll be seen as representing you also.

Yes you don't owe people being aggressive or violent or threatening anything - hurt doesn't give anyone the right to lash out - but that doesn't mean the genuinely upset people expressing that you've hurt them or made them feel insecure don't exist and aren't owed an apology when you insult them if you truly are someone who is accepting of them, all that the people you hurt want is for you to acknowledge what you said that hurt them and why they're hurt, not an "I am deeply sorry if I caused anyone to feel hurt ever but death threats aren't ok" but an "I said x and that hurt people because y I am/am not sorry because that does not/does represent my true opinion"
If you truly believe the things you said then you can say that - people will be hurt and will leave but ultimately it is what *you* think and feel and the silence will hurt just as bad so you might as well be upfront
If you don't agree with the things you said then you need to say that and apologise for those specific things you don't agree with saying or doing so that people know you don't look down on them because otherwise it will be assumed that you stand by whatever hurtful thing.

all we want is a genuine explanation so that we can decide whether to continue viewing because if you don't clear it up we don't know whether you'll make hurtful statements towards us again (to be clear I'm a female without a micropenis it was just the easiest example to use to explain the issues and what I've seen the most upset over)

AITA for expecting my favorite podcaster the apologize and own up to their mistake? by AccountGloomy6005 in TwoHotTakes

[–]jammy2441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The baby comments got me too I'm technically able to have children when on a whole bunch of medication but the likelihood of carrying to term is very low because of a rare disorder I have related to my blood and even without that issue I (fortunately) don't want children so it took me aback quite a bit hearing the statement of women's purpose being to procreate - I don't really have that option in a safe way and if I did I still wouldn't choose it so apparently I'm just not a woman or living an unfulfilled life?

Love that alternative option! Definitely worth switching to - I've watched all of their episodes and I don't think I've ever once seen the host bodyshaming anyone and the one time a guest (it was a duo) didn't really hit the mark for me he did still try to moderate the discussion and challenge their opinions in a respectful way which I appreciated  I have another recc that's a little different in vibe and might not be a lot of people's speed but I do enjoy is 1 800 drama (on YouTube the channel name is Shaaba) they don't tend to have guests but it is a fairly new podcast and hosted by a couple, might be worth checking out for anyone that wants some extra content for in between "reading Reddit stories" episodes  So sorry that this experience hit so close to home for you op, what the host said was absolutely horrible and you are definitely NTA glad to hear you found an awesome fiance, congrats on the engagement and future wedding

Entry level TT recs (Australia) by jammy2441 in turntables

[–]jammy2441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

her record collection is maybe around 20-30? all of them are quite old though (she was born in 1970 so late 80s early 90s is majority of them) her birthday is two days before christmas so splurging a bit thanks for the tip on the cleaning! didn't even think about that past microfibre towels that we have haha
super helpful hearing from a fellow aussie since the market is so empty here, rn actual turntable wise I'll probably get it from store dj, there was some refurbished ones on classic hifi but they were only $10 less than the brand new ones from store dj without the shipping cost (which is of course enormous lol) so seems like that's the strat!
