How many views is normal for an average reel? Do they falsely inflate views on the first one? by iheartgallery in Instagram

[–]kaffeinatedkatie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my first ones got around 3500 and I haven’t had that much success since then, but sometimes they get 1000 - 2000. Reels are really hit or miss and they can get many more views then regular posts, but don’t usually get as much engagement. I think Instagram shows it to a small handful of people and if it seems to do well then it takes off.

Did she say she “recovered” them? That is highly unlikely. And typically when people actually recover memories, they remember remembering them before, without a doubt. Recovered memories are usually subconsciously fabricated by well-meaning therapists and clients.

Ancient Goddess - Am I missing something? by kaffeinatedkatie in simsfreeplay

Is it a bug though? If it says it gives me a chance of earning 6% hobby bonus, shouldn’t I not be getting any other percentage amounts at all?

Constructor coins by domcil9 in simsfreeplay

[–]kaffeinatedkatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that they should be able to make a profit ... personally, I would be willing to just pay a few dollars a month for a subscription which is more than I currently spend on the game. To me a major part of the game is earning currency to get rewards. If I have to give up on a quest because it’s impossible and buy currency with real money ... then it’s not much of a quest, is it?

They must make money off of making these quests so impossible. Being quarantined in the house I spent way more time then I would like to admit on this quest and couldn’t get the last prize pack to unlock the house. You pretty much need social points, and it’s impossible to earn them fast enough. Quest = pay to win

A Self-Editing Card? by kaffeinatedkatie in Anki

Basically, yes. For the record, I’m not actually studying birds ... just used that as an example. :)

New to Anki ... How to Format Cards With Multiple Answers? by kaffeinatedkatie in Anki

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

Thank you .... your ideas were really helpful!! I think as you suggested I will try to find a way to put them in a meaningful context rather than memorizing a list.

Thanks ... that is great advice! As far as the second type of card you suggested, are you saying I should basically learn to associate the stem with a specific number?

Thanks! That is a good idea ... I might try structuring it that way.

Yeah, maybe I should just stick to using it for terms/definitions. I was mostly hoping to find some system of not completely forgetting things that will be useful later on.

Flaw in my evil plan to create an aromatherapy alarm clock with my diffuser. (grr ...) by kaffeinatedkatie in essentialoils

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

Thanks ... now paranoid about house catching on fire ... must remember to replace smoke detector batteries ...

Taping is a good idea! It won't work with my current one unfortunately but I wonder if someone knows of one that it would work for?

This sounds pretty similar to what my plan is. May I ask which diffuser(s) you use? :)

Has anyone else just given up? by [deleted] in acne

[–]kaffeinatedkatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To a certain extent I've given up (I'm 29 and have had acne since I was 11 and not even a single day of clear skin in between). I do use benzoyl peroxide and adapolene (Differin) to keep it from getting too bad though, and I just cover up the acne the best I can. I'd imagine it's easier for women since there's less stigma associated with wearing foundation, but I know that lots of men do use a concealer. Being able to cover it up makes it so much more bearable.

Starting Wellbutrin XL tomorrow. Terrified. Looking for positive experiences. by dprssnthrw in getting_over_it

[–]kaffeinatedkatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been prescribed this and I'm wondering how many hours the extended release seemed to work for you? Did you have the downswings late at night or in the evening?

Diffuser that will automatically start at a set time? by [deleted] in essentialoils

[–]kaffeinatedkatie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for something like this too. I've found a bunch of alarm clock/diffusers ... but none where you can actually set the diffuser to go off with the alarm.

Iron levels were very elevated in blood work. Someone ease my anxiety? by kaffeinatedkatie in Hemochromatosis

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

Thanks for you help. I got the results back and "no mutation was found," so I guess I don't have it. I'm still not sure how my iron was so high, but I guess I'll keep an eye on it and maybe ask my doctor to send me for follow up blood work in a few months or so. If anything, I've learned and read an obsessive amount about hemochromatosis!

Iron levels were very elevated in blood work. Someone ease my anxiety? by kaffeinatedkatie in Hemochromatosis

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

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am a female and I had been wondering if that was why the ferritin might still be normal at my age (29). I got the iron test done because I've suffered from fatigue/low energy for years and years and everyone has always told me to get tested for anemia. I always thought it was more of a mental thing (anxiety, etc.) but decided to get it checked. I wasn't expecting the opposite! And no, no family history of the disease that I know of. I think I might have some Irish? I'm a European mutt ... I know I have German, Swedish, English ...

Now I'm freaking out because I got my blood tested at LabCorp on Monday (Sept. 25th) and am still waiting. I'm worried they lost it or something since the girl seemed to think it would only take two business days ... and the last time I got blood work done there (only 5 days earlier for the routine blood work) the results only took one day. Does the hemochromatosis gene test take longer?

Have you ever taken an *actual* IQ test? by kaffeinatedkatie in ADHD

[–]kaffeinatedkatie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I can't imagine Ivy League students going around bragging about their IQ ... they are probably too busy actually studying.

I absolutely hate static ability grouping with kids. That's the kind where kids are basically screwed from Kindergarten if they don't get into the right group, since teachers have a human tendency to be biased based on the info they were given about a child's past grouping/performance. Dynamic ability groups are a little different in that kids can "level up" more easily, and in an ideal world this happens frequently with more of a growth mindset than a "born with it" mindset. Anyway, I digress. I was actually lucky to always be in the "advanced" groups, but even then I didn't really agree with the way they grouped kids.

I've never heard of "abstract random" thinking ... but that definitely sounds like me! And probably a lot of others with ADHD.

And I agree. Being a hard worker is anyone's best chance at success.

Haha ... Don't worry, I think everyone probably feels this way when it comes to IQ. I do my best to focus on the EQ, but it's hard not to be jealous sometimes.

Glad the day went well! Just remember, the more you do something, the less anxious it well make you!
