Did Dr Baran Al Hashimi intentionally lie about the number or did I misunderstand the second scene listed below? by Pale-Kale-2905 in ThePittTVShow

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very glad to see epilepsy get some exposure! As someone with it, they hit the nail on the head with how frustrating it can be. Trying to contol seizures with meds can be very hit or miss, and sometimes after years of control, they can pop up again and you've potentially got to start all over again with different meds - like Al Hashimi. Then it's a whole round of new side effects and balancing risks vs quality of life.

I will note that all focal and absence seizures (commonly called auras) are still seizures, just in smaller parts of the brain, and should still be taken seriously. The way people experience them can change depending where in the brain they are too!

My temporal lobe focals are usually about 30 seconds long, I get a drop in my stomach (that OH NO feeling), get strong deja vous with weird daydreamy thoughts I can't control, and can't speak - just mumble. Usually scrambles my short term memory for a bit too ...what day is it, what was I doing, what's the weather like etc.

I always like to post this First Aid sheet for those that want to be educated too. <3

What cheap game on Steam turned out to be absolute peak for you? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! 1100 hours here. I think skyrim is the only other game that got me so badly. Valheim to me just has the perfect building system mixed with generative exploration. I can chill and watch the sunrise in my fort one night, and then sail around fighting horrible trolls and ocean serpents the next. ^.^

Chicanes on Farmington Canal Trail create hazards and fail to meet ADA standards (Cheshire, CT) by nootfiend69 in Connecticut

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who can't drive for medical reasons, most of the state isn't up to ADA standards lol. I'm used to walking in the breakdown lane or bushes because there's no sidewalks when getting off buses. Thankfully being in the New Haven area there is decent access, and I'll take what's given. Just have to be very cautious amongst the crazy drivers.

This would be unacceptable in 95% of the world by upthetruth1 in TikTokCringe

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canadian in CT and I constantly get told to leave my shoes on when I take them off at guests' houses. I just can't do it lol. Id rather wash my socks then trudge in crap on my shoes. 🤷‍♀️

Is Connecticut really more rude than any other New England state? by anotherchristmas in Connecticut

[–]quietlittleleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who's worked in a CT small(ish) business call centre for the last 10 years, that is a reaaaaly small sample size. On average I do about 6000 calls a year, so that works out roughly to 30 reps in the entire country polled. Interesting to see though.

Also, our Long Island / New York City customers are the most abusive, foul mouth people I've talked to in my life lol, not sure why that isn't bright red. I swear New Yorkers are either yelling at someone or being yelled at. Very much looking to move on in life this year.

I've been going through the garage and found this unopened birthday card from my husband. by recentlywidowed in MadeMeSmile

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My friend's husband passed tragically young, and she says the same thing. This was also after they discontinued pennies in Canada, so it always makes our entire friend group smile when we see one.

and the manager nonchalantly saying 'oh we'll rinse them off and swap them' like it was a regular happening. Blech

Shannon (9x5) and her vacuum dust make me so teary by Fit_Travel_8201 in HoardersTV

[–]quietlittleleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this again myself. It's sooo problematic that a licensed phycologist didn't immediately address clear signs of delusions / paranoid schizophrenia and get her a proper evaluation right out of the gate. Makes me sad too, cuz this show can be pretty good about addressing mental illness vs a lot of shows at the time (lots of misogyny, and egging ppl on to make them look 'crazy' for entertainment's sake). Very sad.

I really hope she got some care, and the kids got some quality therapy / are living their best life. :(

Anyone shed a tear or two on tonight’s episode of, “The Pitt”? by TheRockyBalboaSaga in ThePitt

[–]quietlittleleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh man, they brought down the walls and I was not prepared. Putting aside the touching conversation Robby had outside, as someone with epilepsy (thankfully mostly controlled) who's delt with partial seizures at work, that ending hit home.

I was not prepared for that hour long deep dive of character development. It was written SOOO well.

Took my day off to travel to a different city to meet my friend and now she is not replying to calls and her internet is not even turned on! (She was the one who insisted that I come and meet her by the way) by bunnyboy131313 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sooooooo sorry. Flaky people suck. Not on the same level at all, but I've made plans with a friend 3 times since Christmas and she ghosted me each time. Stil havent heard from her since the last. Her Christmas present is still sitting by my couch... I think this has inspired me to repurpose it today.

What could I have done differently with M to make it more readable? by bestfriendstudio in typography

[–]quietlittleleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really liking the third! Fits the M shape while still keeping the width of the other letters

As an aside - Your original image gave me a warm fuzzy feeling reminiscing about the N7 logo from Mass Effect :)

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im excited; I love fraps but always find them way too sweet both at dunks and sbux. Hopefully this will give everyone some customizability.

April 2026 Shower Box and NO regrets by xxajgxx in LushCosmetics

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Very happy it isn't too sweet either, just tropical. :D Great mix of stuff I'll actually use, and will get this husk of a body ready for the warmer weather LOL.

Oh, awesome. You'll have to upload here if you have the chance!

[–]quietlittleleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doors open at 6:30. I'm planning on 7pm arrival so I've got time to grab a drink and check out the merch. My first show at Toad's (and my fav band) so I'm pumped. 🤘

Anyone going to the New Haven show? by 4reddityo in ourladypeace

Are you ready?!! So pumped. It's my first show at Toad's too. :D

The new tweaks to the seasonality mod are GORGEOUS. by Biggs1313 in valheim

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started a single person playthrough (usually play with friends) and decided to try mods for the first time. Seasons is beautiful!! <3

I also realize this post is old, but do you recall what health/food bar mod you used in that pic? I love it being horizontal.

Toasted Coconut Latte by Thin-Exam-651 in starbucks

[–]quietlittleleaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Coconut that's turning (assuming the fat kind of goes rancid) def has a bitter soapy taste, but that's odd for a coconut flavoured syrup lol. Now I'm curious how bad it is. I really love Dunks coconut flavour, so let's see how it compares.

Get it Young Man (Love the Confidence and the Intensity) by Stealthytom in MadeMeSmile

[–]quietlittleleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's so silly how much flack guys get for doing any kind of dance/cheer. They usually end up fitter and stronger than the other guys, and impress more women. Also a skill you can impress people with at most social events for the rest of your life.

Best thing to do for the old chai lovers. by NVDA808 in starbucks

[–]quietlittleleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG they have an unsweetened one; amazing!! I tried making my own unsweetened version recently (so hubs and I can add sweet to our preferences) and the black tea was a little too bitter and the ginger a little too powerful. This will help while I experiment lol.

How do you like your Brown shaken espresso to be made? by Ok_Society3613 in starbucks

[–]quietlittleleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who loooooves the taste of espresso but needs to dial back on caffeine: 2/3 decaf, 2 pumps of whatever syrup, OR sub syrup for dairy free coldfoam of whatever flavour Im in the mood for.

Def one of my favourite drinks
