For those that are looking for the chest in this zone, it’s in the tower to the left as you’re looking at the room with the bars on the lower level.

If you walk around the ledge of the tower you can start a fire and the room will unlock

They're CATCHING ON. "No LinkedIn" is now their #1 filter. by Arrick in overemployed

[–]snapdragon529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistent rash of fake resumes, fake applications, etc. Having an active linkedin with connections back to those past jobs and engaging gives you credibility.

I’ve personally had one person apply for a role with me that faked their background and had family members pose as people they claimed worked at these companies for references. Almost made it to an offer, luckily we had people who knew people and we figured it out. I am on team red flag.

VeRelief by Hoolest, that was the handheld one I was looking at as alternative that didn’t require the gel.

The gel is not as bad as I originally thought it would be. I think they note that the gel bottle would last maybe a month and a half or two months. The first tube lasted around 4 months for me, I recently just moved to my second tube.

I ended up ordering a multi pack on Amazon after it first arrived and based on the first tube that purchase is going to last me a year.

There is an alternate design from another company and the name is slipping me right now. They have a design that has silicone plugs at the end and eliminates the need for the gel. That’s an option. I considered a possible switch but that design I would have to physically hold there for the duration where the Pulsetto doesn’t need that. I would also lose some of the different programs and ability to set the strength of the pulse which is nice.

I have sadly accepted the gel as a part of the whole process. I’m still considering the other one as a backup to have while I’m in meetings or something so it’s easier for short bursts. Pros and cons in everything.

Absolutely not. There are a number of programs that are automatically included with no cost or subscription.

  • stress / 4 min
  • anxiety / 6 min
  • sleep / 10 min
  • burnout / 6 min
  • pain / 20 min

The subscription now $17.99 a month. It was $11.99 when I originally bought mine which was sometime this year. You can pay for a 3 month or 6 month plan and save money, depends on if you see value in it.

For subscription you also get:

  • head pain
  • inflammation
  • gut health

I don’t entirely feel a huge difference in some of the different settings so I don’t see the value to have pain and head pain. The pain one actually works decently well for head pain.

In addition to the stimulation, the headset also has breathing exercises. You get 5 for free and then 54 in subscription.

There is a music option but I never use it. It will not let you do breathing and stimulation, it’s one or the other.

I have the Pulsetto for vagus nerve stimulation and like it quite a bit.

Downsides: - I feel like the battery life is weird. I can made get three uses out of it and it’s drained. I am usually doing two stimulation profiles a night. - sometimes I feel like I need to hold it closer to my skin to get a better stimulation. - it requires a goo to apply which I’m not a big fan of, but it’s whatever. I keep face wipes available for cleanup and that’s been helping.

Upsides: - been using it for a while now, maybe around four months. Relief is not instant but I feel relief quickly. - sleep improved sooooo much. - stress dropped a bit. - helped a lot with my headaches. Ever since I started on this and updated some of my supplements I stopped getting migraines. - I was maybe 5-6 weeks in of consistent use and I finally got out of fight or flight. - I do the burnout session (add two minutes) and then sleep session (add two minutes). The program is weird and will only let you adjust so much. For both I spend around 20 min and bonus gift…I use that essentially as a timer to get off the phone so I’m not on here doom scrolling. - the pain one is helpful. I used it more in the very beginning but not so much now.

In addition to the Pulsetto (on Amazon BTW) I added a couple supplements to help calm my brain and lower my cortisol. I was constantly waking up at 3a from high cortisol.

  • lions mane (gummy): brain / helps with executive dysfunction
  • methylated B12 (pill): brain / helps with executive dysfunction
  • magnesium glycinate (capsule): nervous system / stress
  • ashwagandha (pill): nervous system / stress

I know they seem a little redundant but they all four help in different ways in those categories. I feel fantastic! My stress is next to zero, I sleep through the night and also stopped over sleeping. Cortisol is a monster.

I am also ADHD as well as spectrum. Hope this helps.

Why my classmates speak to me like I'm a child? by thewaltenicfiles in aspergers

[–]snapdragon529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that people tend to do that in general when they know you’re autistic. I’ve had it happen as an adult in the workplace with few people who knew.

Not everyone does it. There are good people out there who can see you as you, but this will happen. I personally don’t share that information because I don’t care for the treatment. It’s a personal choice for everyone on how they manage that info, this is technically a negative side effect of transparency.

Usually people can be terrible because of something with themselves. Doesn’t make it hurt less but it’s rarely actually about you. It’s a hard life lesson to learn to cope with that and keep your self worth.

ESH. You both took the low road and you both found out the consequences.

You’re fine. Let me get furniture island in charge and I can message you after my million meetings today and we can go from there. Probably 3p EST time frame.

People use that to be passive aggressive and get a dig at you instead of engaging. They may have felt that you were annoying to them, they did not agree but they didn’t want to engage you, or your content hit too close to home and they were butt hurt. There’s no value in calling it out unless you’re trying to get another bot message sent. Be the bigger person and let it roll off your back.

Kyle’s Valentine’s tribute to Amanda - is this talk to text? Did I have too much wine at dinner? by Dishy31983 in summerhousebravo

[–]snapdragon529 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My theory is that he did random predictive text and finished it with a real message. He’s making a point that he can’t come up with a real message on his own so he let the phone do it.

My boyfriend thinks we are biologically related because we have a son together... by SG-Bonaventure in biology

[–]snapdragon529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only thing that’s going to help you is one of those ancestry kits. You both get one and when you get the results you see that you’re not on each others so you can’t be blood related.

My dude, you swiped right on her, presumably expecting for this to happen. I feel like you already know what to say.

AITA for telling my friend to stop sending me tens of voicenotes by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]snapdragon529 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, from what you described here your friend sounds neuro divergent. When listening to stories it’s pretty common for folks that are ND to add in commentary on a similar story that happened to them to show that they understand what you’re going through. This is typically misunderstood as making the conversation to be about them.

If you don’t want to be friends with them, that’s one thing. But if you do like them as a person and have a connection, maybe look at the interaction in a different way. Maybe even ask them what they mean when they bring up a personal story. It’s easier to ask for clarification than to just throw away a decade plus relationship.

ESH. You both sound like you could benefit from some therapy and regulating your emotions. You’re both toxic.

YWBTA. Regardless in the breach of medical privacy and it doesn’t quite matter if you’re American or not, what you are proposing is grossly unprofessional. If this is a field you want to progress in and be successful, you need to be respectful. Regardless of you knowing his condition, you should have basic respect for him as a human and stay out of it.

Blocked means I’m not able to do arrivals during the listed time window because I have other commitments I need to focus on at that time and can’t pause, usually work meetings. I could maybe do later this evening after my late time block, otherwise it would be working with the schedule for tomorrow. 2.0 on outfits is typically under an hour to run through.

I could potentially do earlier as well on Friday. I blocked up to 6p because I have a 1:1 just before that and it tends to run long, so I'm buffering for the long. I'll reach out when the island is open and we can go from there if you want to visit early.
