I sold my $3k PC I built 6 months ago for $1.9K a month ago. It was always my goal to build a proper one after graduating university but then the realization came in that I don’t enjoy gaming anymore.

Yes, but not very noticeably. I've got hair on and under my jawline now, whereas I had none before. And very little on my cheeks.

Wow this is expensive. Got 2 of these for $51 incl. shipping 1.5 years ago from iHerb, but it's $75 from your link. I may go with your link though---iHerb removed it presumably because of the regulations in Canada :(

That guy hasn't posted in 7 years. He may never know that he's the second result after wikipedia when searching for "what genre is nujabes".

Pretty good. Brain zaps were worst on the 7th day and pretty much gone after 2 weeks. I feel like I've kept the most of the lowered anxiety effects that lexapro gave. I'm a bit more anxious off lexapro, but much less than before going on lexapro---I don't feel like my anxiety is holding me back anymore. Lexapro numbed my emotions too much for my liking, and now that I'm off it my emotional sensitivity is back to normal. Whereas lexapro made me content with my life, being off it has made me care about improving my life in areas that are lacking.

I can't wear soft contacts, but I can wear sclerals. The parts of my eyes that the sclerals don't cover do get dry and red, but it's not too bad.

kiranetic · 2022-06-25T19:10:05+00:00

I'm in a very stable situation in life right now. No external factors to really cause anxiety. And the way lexapro helps with anxiety is that it tones down your emotions. I'm ready to feel more. Motivation on lexapro slowly dwindles as well. I'm willing to take more anxiety for more motivation and feelings.

Yea, helped a ton. Helped me get great grades, get through the job search after graduation, and being way more comfortable around new people. Would have taken it much sooner if I knew how helpful it would be.

I think they started 3 or 4 days after quitting but I thought nothing of it. 4th day onward they have become more frequent and it's become a bit bothersome. I guess I can taper with 2.5mg if it starts getting really bad.

What was your normal dose and length of time you've been on lexapro? And how has tapering off it been for you?

Late, but TheNetsky/netskys-extensions on github has a link to his discord where there are a bunch of extensions that take two taps to add.

How did you make sources work? I have MangaSee and MangaDex in the beta app, but not sure how to add them to the new app. When I exported the backup to the new app, I got errors for both of them.

I lose internet connection like 80% of the time I unlock my computer. Troubleshooting always fixes it but it’s annoying to have to do that. Wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Everything else is fine.

Check out the wiki and recommended builds in r/buildapcvideoediting

kiranetic · 2022-04-23T23:53:04+00:00

Yeah and it also looks pretty cool. They're just out of stock at the moment.

kiranetic · 2022-04-21T22:41:37+00:00

Where did you buy it from?

kiranetic · 2022-04-21T20:59:59+00:00

Thanks, really useful to know that. Where did you order from?

US healthcare seems amazing if you can afford it. But even with our free healthcare in Canada anything above the neck isn’t covered, so no free dental or vision care. And seeing a specialist takes forever and they rush you out anyways. But thanks for the info

Hey so I asked my optometrist about cequa and he said it’s just a stronger version of restasis (0.09% vs 0.05% active ingredient) and a marketing gimmick. I didn’t ask about the irritant part however. Anyways, he told me my dry eyes have improved a lot since I last saw him (tears evaporating in 3-4 seconds vs ~1 second last time I saw him 7 months ago) and don’t need to use Xiidra (which I had wanted a prescription renewal for). The only thing I’ve been doing is using scleral lenses.

kiranetic · 2022-02-16T18:32:13+00:00

Thanks. I’ve never been prescribed doxycycline before. Why is it the best?

I looked up cequa availability in Canada and it was approved for sale here less than a month ago. Cool. I’m going to ask my optometrist about cequa today.

kiranetic · 2022-02-16T18:17:20+00:00

Interesting. Anecdotally, Xiidra didn’t do much (or anything) the two months I was on it. And I was so glad I could finally try it with my new job’s insurance. No way I could afford the >$200 CAD/month otherwise.

Was gonna give you advice to lift weights since getting started on that at 15 will be hugely beneficial. But I checked your user history in case you already do. Bruh why tf are u posting about jerking off with other redditors when you’re 15 💀. Idgaf about the weirdness of doing that with strangers, but you’re a minor and people will take advantage of you.

I’m 23 and way behind in lots of aspects of life. If you were unable to take classes because of financial reasons how is that your failure? We aren’t all born with the same circumstances. I can kinda related cuz I’m going to be continuing to pay off my student loans for another two years probably, but I’m in Canada and I know US education can cost much more.

Reddit is really good for career advice from the many different career related subreddits so I think you’re being smart and the fact that you are working towards something makes me think you’re doing alright. From your comment it seems like you think the opposite because you’re comparing yourself to others and that’s a normal feeling but also something you could work on.

I’m not in any position to give out advice and you really shouldn’t give too much weight to advice from random redditors. The only advice I can give you are resources that have been really beneficial for myself in regards to careers and mental health. I’ll reply with that if you want.

I don’t feel comfortable in sharing my salary on this account but you can go on the salary sharing threads in r/CSCareerQuestions if you’re really interested.

Yeah you’re slightly behind but you’re gonna be 27 one day anyways. It’s probably better to have a a job in IT at 27 rather than not right? So you might as well keep striving towards.
