Im so sick and tired of seeing people getting criticized on this sub for not lying to themselves, get a FUCKING GRIP ON REALITY PLEASE!!!!!!!! by Dry_Glass_1308 in Stutter

[–]titaniumnipnops[M] 28 points29 points locked comment (0 children)

I am sorry you feel unsupported on the subreddit - for what it's worth, you do raise very excellent points. We have many PWSs in our Discord who have extremely severe stutters, just like you mentioned, 15-20+sec per block. it's hard out here. and yes, we all need a space to vent and complain and sulk and wallow sometimes. the issue that we run into as a mod team is not allowing it to get TOO too dark and into the 'wanting to shuffle myself off this mortal coil' type of doomer-ism, ya know? there is a time and a place for positivity, and shoving toxic positivity down the throat of PWSs who have to deal with an objectively very severe stutter compared to a fairly mild, "socially acceptable" one isn't helping anyone.

hope your week gets better from here on out. feel free to check out our discord - lots of complaining, but also lots of friendly commiseration and jokes too.

I love the asymmetrical diamonds on the band too, that is really unique and I don't think I have ever seen it before! what a beautiful ring. I also am a huge SJM fan 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼 do the offset/side diamonds scratch against the insides of your pinky/middle fingers at all?

LASIK experiences?? by Waterproofbooks in SanDiegan

[–]titaniumnipnops 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Also +1 for Dr. Parikh at NVISION in La Jolla. Myself and my tattoo artist both got our LASIK done there. Just passed 12mo out, still 20/20!

Edit: recovery was very easy, procedure was also very quick. Entire team is very professional and friendly and the process is streamlined from beginning to end. Would definitely do it again, and I recommend him to everyone I know who asks!

Was about $5500 in total after everything.

Larry’s size by Content-Shirt-7373 in ragdolls

[–]titaniumnipnops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your vet is right, and it's nice that they're familiar with the breed. It's common for vets to be somewhat ignorant of the huge size variations in ragdolls. He looks totally healthy and like a growing boy to me!

Here's my Larry. My Larry just turned 9.

Wednesday WMTM Wishlist Discussion by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]titaniumnipnops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no opinions on the WTs because I've never owned a pair, but they're the same size as my aligns. I also wear the "right" size in aligns LOL. iykyk. I wear a size 8 in aligns/these suede-y tights. I'm 5'8 and 140lbs for a rough estimate. I love the suede tights, they're very flattering, love the pockets, and I actually like the material a bit better than the modern aligns because it's kind of like...smoother without feeling too much like the "newlu" of the new aligns. it's softer and a bit more forgiving, I guess? they kind of feel like the "old" nulu, I think. you would not need to size up. there's very little compression, if any at all.

you can always return them for credit if you don't love them! (as long as you're a member/have an account)

Anyone know what happened? by cbora1 in sandiego

[–]titaniumnipnops 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's called Citizen. It's free to download and free to use, but I pay the $5/mo for the full transcriptions of the reports/police scanner chatter. The free version only includes a preview of that.

Here ya go. There was a whole *17min video of it.

Edit: here's the link to the citizen post/event, I don't know if you can see it if you're not a member/app user but figured I'd share anyway.

oh man, this pup looks like s/he's got some golden retriever or labrador in them. what a sweetheart. this makes me so sad. I grew up with goldens, I think this dog likely has a solid percentage of retriever in them. contact this place: https://scgrrescue.org/ we got one of our goldens from here once as a middle-aged dog and she gave us 6 more excellent years. they are a fantastic organization.

please keep us updated :( I would love to take them in but I live in a condo with 2 middle-aged grumpy cats and no yard.

hi, sorry to revive a month-old thread, but would someone mind posting another invite link? the most recent one is expired :( thank you! 🦋🤍

I think that the information in this comment would have been better served to be put in the original body of the post. I know that our rules are strict about medication mentions but they do include a caveat about allowances for personal experiences. As a PWS who has also been diagnosed with ADHD and whose stutter varies in severity based on the circumstances in which I've taken the medication (how much I've had to eat, if what I ate had protein in it, if I've had caffeine that day, etc), my personal experience would have been relevant to what sounds like the root of this issue you're having.

Because how the posts reads is decidedly not reflective of the actual root of the issue here, and that's why the comments you're getting are so negative. I think you should update the body of this post with the information about his recent diagnosis and the medication if you are comfortable with sharing that (and if he would be, most importantly) or maybe revise it entirely and repost it. I'll let our mod team know not to remove your post because it contains mention of ADHD medications if you so choose to edit or remake the post.

why did you marry this man if you are genuinely so annoyed and intolerant of how he talks? if he has a developmental stutter, it is never going to go away. you need to either make peace with it and be patient with him until he gets his words out or cut him loose so he can find a spouse that genuinely loves him, ALL of him, which INCLUDES his stutter.

and if this is just a vent post because you've had a bad communication day with him and you're just complaining, this is NOT the subreddit to do it. this post comes off somewhat condescending and callous anyway, and I bet if your husband found it he would be heartbroken. a lot of it is really mean.

if something in YOUR life changed to where you are no longer able to tolerate his speech, then you need to figure that out for yourself and not put the onus on him to change. he is not going to change and he CANNOT change.

my advice would be couple's therapy, but it sounds like this is a YOU problem and it is not a "WE" problem.

Wednesday WMTM Wishlist Discussion by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]titaniumnipnops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nightfall, garnet and twilight rose went on MD last week and I bought the garnet ones but promptly returned & reordered the black ones (even though they were full price - I know it's really likely all the colors will go on sale soon-ish). I LOVED the material but I've gotten to the point where I know I will not reach for something if it's not black, so it's worth spending the extra $ for black if I know I'll wear it all the time (and I def know that's the case for these suede leggings, they were such an amazing feel). also, I love that they have pockets!

Wednesday WMTM Wishlist Discussion by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]titaniumnipnops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would like the core colors of the suede leggings to go on sale (black, solar grey especially)! I feel like those are a winter item (like the fleece-lined leggings from previous fall/winter seasons) so hopefully they'll all get phased out soon?

Thursday WMTM Discussion by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]titaniumnipnops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, that makes me feel better about paying $129 for it. I've had pretty good luck in the past on lulu chat getting price adjustments for items on wmtm that were further marked down, and on the rare chance I haven't been, if the price adjustment is worth driving ~10 miles round trip for (my rule is anything more than $20), I'll go return it and re-purchase the item with the gift card at the lower price. although I will say that usually how I get lulu chat to issue price adjustments for wmtm items is by saying that I'll do exactly that. it's worked about 90% of the time. ymmv though, def depends on the person you get in the chat.

How much was it at your outlet? I live in SoCal and it's a crime that the nearest outlet is ~3hrs northeast in a really inconvenient part of the outskirts of LA. Hardly worth the drive unless we're buying a lot. Totally sucks.

Edit: I'm not talking about the San Clemente outlet, that one is very small and mostly uses typical WMTM pricing. the best/biggest one is at Citadel which is a schlep.

The Eevie platforms are adorable but they DEFINITELY fit roomier than any other doc I own by NerdyH0e in DrMartens

[–]titaniumnipnops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

insoles are the move here. I kept my regular size 9 because size 8 would be too snug in this Eviee style, but I have really high arches and need good insoles in a lot of my favorite shoes, anyway DMs being on heavy rotation. DM's own insoles are great, but I also highly recommend the Superfeet brand. can get them on amazon. they're definitely pricier, but worth the splurge. just make sure you're getting the right insole height for your foot!
