What earplugs do y'all recommend? My sensory issues putting things in my ears makes most of them unpleasant for me.
  • frequency frequency Now 100%

    I think it's personal, we all have different ear canals and different levels of noise tolerance. I'm fine without earplugs during the day, but at night I need them. I tried Loop but they slipped out of my ears(nothing wrong, they just don't fit my ear canals). I tried custom made, but they are too firm for sleeping and my ears will hurt in the morning. Foam will hurt too. Eventually I tried a lot of them for sleeping and settled on these ones, with two layers as they are a bit smaller and made out of silicone and won't hurt during the night.

    There's a dish in Slavic cuisine called "kholodets", which is a filtered meat/bone stock that has been chilled to make a jelly with the meats inside. It's pretty good if you have been eating it since you were a kid, just got used to it you know. But this is some whole new level of creativity here, this cook is pushing the limits of trust.

    I'll agree with that lol. Although I do pay for a YouTube premium, I like YT.music algorithm better than Spotify and not having ads on videos is just a nice bonus. So I do use yt app, as well as newpipe and smarttubenext because yt app is missing some features.

  • Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on. Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .

    what are the downsides of a diagnosis?
  • frequency frequency Now 33%

    Can confirm. Got a 20yo roommate, who before the diagnosis was striving to be better, was trying to learn and figure stuff out. After diagnosis turned into total pain in the ass, blaming everything on the disability, stopped cleaning after himself, kinda gave up on himself in general. I agree, it might be because he stopped masking but it was just sad to see such a change for worse, he took it the wrong way.

    OP though sounds like a conscious person, weighing their options, asking for opinion from others. Good job OP!

  • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
  • frequency frequency Now 100%

    I think Brave did some aggressive marketing, including social media posts and comments. I did buy their narrative at first too - a browser that already tuned to block ads and trackers. But later I've noticed that it constantly connects back to brave server and it looked suspicious. Firefox is the best.

    Looks like their propaganda is in damage control mode. Desperately trying to adjust their narratives to make it look like "Pu is working on it". Which just makes it more apparent that he has less and less control lol.

    Casios are great, still have a couple simple ones. Reliable and affordable. Absolutely loved the timer option - 2 pushes left bottom button, 1 time right bottom one, 15 minutes rice timer is started in a second and without unlocking the phone :)

  • frequency frequency Now 100%

    To me it did look kinda cool at first, I agree, kinda complex, almost like a large detailed chronograph. But then, one of the reasons to buy a wristwatch was to avoid looking at the cellphone to see the time. So eventually, the reality hit and it turned out I am so used to large numbers to be hours(from childhood apparently), it's a habit, an expectation. And those are hard to change. In a way, I gave up coolness for utility :) Thank you for the kind words!

    Seiko 5

    Got myself Seiko 5 field watch as a starter, the cheapest automatic. Thought I would be ok with minute numbers being bigger than hour numbers but no. Everytime I looked, had to do some mental gymnastics for a second. After a month of this decided to switch it to no numbers at all. Today received the dial, switched it over. Omg, this is so much easier to read.
