When I take just 300-500 mg max in a day, I find that I can focus and that I am in a good mood, I was functional for the whole day, could focus on work, etc...
Any more mg than that and its like all the calming and anti-anxiety benefits simply disappear and I feel panic and more anxiety in every way imaginable.
Why is this the case?
Why do I ONLY really get the CALMING and ANTI-ANXIETY effects from gabapentin if my total daily dose is on the lower end of the scale?

Hello, I come from cult because some people told me I should better ask here, so I will paste my situation and questions in here.
"Someone from my school is a Jehovas witness, and things are starting to get scary. First of all, I don't know if they're in danger or not. I'm not all that familiar with cults and especially not this one. They are kind of isolated, but still allowed to visit school (well, they're not allowed to go on fieldtrips and that stuff). They don't have a phone or any connection to the internet, and always say nice things about their "religion" but I will get to that later. I started talking to them recently, and they always seemed to be a very smart and genuinely kind person, but I started hearing stuff from other students. Let's just call this affected person Sam. Appearently, Sam showed a friend of theirs the cuts on their wrists. When the friend asked what happend there, Sam just smiled and said they cut themselves with scissors. When the friend asked if it was by accident or not, Sam just smiled. When I heard this, it already concerned me because I wouldn't have ever expected this from them.
​
Now for context, I'll explain the family situation. Sam always portrays their family as the best and always talks about how close they are. Sam's mom just always hugs them, and even in the lunch break, their mom picks them up and drives them somewhere to eat with their family instead. They're also a little too close with their sibling....(who btw is also isolated). On some days of the weeks, they have "family bonding time" and some "assembly" (which I assume is cult activity).
BUT NOW THIS IS WHAT REALLY MADE ME WORRY
I heard from someone that Sam has suicidal thoughts. That someone also told me that Sam told their mom about these thoughts, and guess what? Their mom said she had them too when she was a child, and said she totally can relate.
Now if this isn't a very cult-y thing then I don't know what is. Sam even said that their religion is what helped them survive, and how great the religion is (which again I assume is gaslight by the parents and other cult members). They also see their parents as some sort of gods who they're scared to say anything against or argue whatsoever, but kinda in a nice way?
​
Sam always speaks about how they are different, don't have these "modern" problems, and seem to be "seeking attention" or trying to be different very hard, which I personally see as a call for help. I should also mention that it isn't so easy for me to just tell a teacher or an adult, since Sam only really talks to us so they would immediately know who "snitched". It might damage Sam, maybe their parents will do something bad if they found out what Sam told us about their private life, since Sam is very open with everything with their mother, they even share a phone (Sam isn't allowed to have one). I don't even know it it's a good idea to get involved into this, but I saw some things about cults and I'm aware of how dangerous they can be. Once in an interview, a survivor said that without external help, they should never have done it out of the cult. I want to provide help, because if I don't, who else will? No one else knows about this, and I might save them from whatever might come.
​
Now if you've read this far I want to thank you for reading, and if someone, anyone can help me with answers that would be so great. I have just a few questions, and I'd appreciate to get educated on anything in relation to this by someone who knows about this stuff.
​
Here's a few questions I have:
​
- could it be that the parents themselves don't know about this cult stuff going on, or are they actively gaslighting?
- Is there something me and my friends can do to help Sam? I feel so helpless.
- am I making a big deal out of this and this is actually very normal?
- should I speak to teachers or parents or will that maybe harm Sam?
- is Sam looking for help with all these signs? (cus I'm pretty sure Sam isn't allowed to tell us these things about their life and the cult stuff)
​
I got a few answers on how to help, but if it is alright, I appreciate any kinds of tips from victims themselves, and your perspectives on what a good approach to the situation would be. Maybe something that helped you get out of it, and something I can do as an outsider to help this person.
Thanks in advance everyone.

(I flaired this as HELP because I don't know how serious the situation is, sorry if that is incorrect.)

So I’ve been enjoying the early part of my swimming journey since Jan. My times are slowly improving. I’m now being a bit more consistent in land training. My biggest realisation in getting the best times in my 50’s/25’s is that the less I breathe, the better my times. So now able to hit ~14sec for a 25m, but this isn’t translating to my 50’s as stuck around 34secs and my 100m isn’t really shifting below 1:15ish.
My question is how best to train to just breathe less? Is it just doing more sets with pushing my lungs? I’ve had a few intercostal muscle issues recently from pushing it. (M44, all SCM from standing start)
TIA

I’ve been waiting a week and a half now to make a lump purchase tomorrow of bitcoin and Coinbase stock. All the influencers were saying 0 rate hike, which I thought was bullshit, no way Powell can’t raise it .25 tomorrow, so I figured it would start pulling back today before the hike tomorrow. Stocks have been following that like clockwork and coins to some degree. What is going on?? I’m going to be STUNNED if there’s no pullback tomorrow. That would mean the sector has detached from rate hikes. Thoughts?

It has been mentioned a few times in the discord that Reddit posts are better format for suggestions so here goes nothing.
First thing to get out of the way is: Turning off animations is not a thing that will happen and I am aware/agree with this position. That's not what I want to discuss here. I won't discuss dynamic camera angles here either.
My general suggestion is: Streamline the pacing of geatrait/immunity UI pop ups that appear on your battle screen. As the lack of consistency can disturb the pace of a battle.
Example 1: Extra pop ups that are completely unnecessary. Insert "I KNOW, I KNOW, I GOT IT. I GET THE CONCEPT." Hades meme
Take a Bruiser Owlhe with War Drum. The War Drum pop up will appear once as the attack is casting and then show up again once or twice along with Bruiser depending on how many targets were hit with Helicopter Kick in this example. The first pop up is fine, it doesn't slow the battle pace but the latter two halt everything even if the targets are just staring at you waiting to play the knocked out animations. Please look at video sample from 00:00 to 00:40 I think one set of pop-ups for this would be enough.
Example 1)A: You have a Kalabyss with War Drum, it will give you the gear pop up AFTER the attack has been casted and without any type of delay.
Look at video from 00:48 to 00:59. Which leads us to my next point:
Example 2: Sometimes Trait + Gear Pop ups slow down the battle pace. We already saw it with Bruiser Owlhe but here's some more examples:
You have a Physmaster Innki with War Drum, the gear pop up will also appear after the attack is cast but interacting with the trait slows down the knock out animation unnecessarily by 3 seconds. (Which might not sound like a lot but when you have this repeated by x300 on a radar it suddenly becomes 15 minutes. Which might also sound insignificant but it's truly NOT necessary.)
Look at video sample from 01:00 to 1:23
Example 2)A: Drill on an Adoroboros that will cast Virulent Gust. In this case the gear drags out the start of the skill. Look at video sample 01:25 to 01:52. The clip with drill activated is about 4 seconds longer. (Timestamp difference is 7 seeconds but we should exclude the Autotomy proc of the Broccoblin and any human error that the clips aren't perfectly alingned.) Let's say only 150 out of 300 broccoblins in a radar have Autotomy, that's 150 times the battle is slowed down because of the pop ups, easily 10min. 20min if you are unlucky and they are all Autotomy.
Another bad example is Tactical-Strike Turoc using Rockfall.
​
Example 3: This doesn't seem to always be the case and in some situations, these pop ups do not disturb the pace of the battle.
Look at video sample from 01:55 to 02:39. You can see the Lure and Mushook's Parrier trait pop-ups are fast and don't drag it out. Same with the Poisoned and Sleeping immunity pop-ups.
Example 3)A: Two Broccoblins' Autotomy traits can trigger within fast succession of each other. Look at video sample from 02:42 to 02:50. I think this clip is quite important because I think all pop ups should show as a "ladder" just like this, instead of appearing and having to disappear to give way for another pop up. I understand this is simply because they are both traits triggered at the same time, but I think this should be the standard for all of these pop-ups.
​
Most of the players who play Endgame wish their battles were faster, so here are few more suggestions that could help with that:
Have the option after the campaign to turn off gear procs during wild encounters. Have the option to speed up the battle intro animation during wild encounters. Have the option to speed up the catching animation. (The last two could be in the same toggle.)
Have the option to speed up the knock-out animation of wild tems. Virulent Gust is the perfect example of this and I wish I could turn ON an option so this is the standard.
I understand that these differences might seem to "save" a negligible amount of time during an activity can take a couple of hours to finish. But answer me honestly, who needs to see their gear or trait proc 300 or 600 times during a radar or freetem? Who needs to see the battle intro where you throw your cards every.single.time you have an encounter in saipark? I'm pretty sure someone in Endgame has seen the battle intro and catching animation enough to appreciate them, please no more.
I think tweaking the timing and speeding up a couple of things would be welcome QOL to make any grindy activity more comfortable. What are your thoughts Crema and Community?

Has anyone tried them? I've considered the All Soft one for my virgin, low porosity, medium coarse 2b/2c hair. The ABC has lots of good reviews but mainly from people with either blonde/dyed or fine hair so not sure if I'd benefit from it. The other one frlm their long hair line has been thrown around too but it's hard to find actual helpful reviews
I could at least throw out frizz dismiss so far

Hey everyone. I'm a high school student who lives with his parents and partakes in many loud activities (some of which being gaming with friends and playing instruments like drums and guitar). All of my 'noise makers' are against the wall that is beside my parents' room and I am looking for ways to insulate the noise. My goal is to eliminate the sounds of me talking at a louder volume or playing through my guitar amp at a low volume to the best of my abilities. What are the best ways I can insulate sound and prevent my own parents from filing a noise complaint on my sorry ass (not literally). Also, it's good to note that I prefer to not hang up massive noise panels as it's my bedroom and I want to make it look nice too. The cheaper the better. Thanks!

I've had this issue for a few months now. I saw a doctor ~2 months ago and the issue has worsened in ways (left foot much more purple) and better in others (right foot not dealing with much discoloration if any)- they provided a few things it could be (reynauds, chillblains, diabetes, and some others i forgot) but I need testing to find out what it actually is. I cannot afford to spend really anything near what these tests cost but may be able to do whichever test seems most probable or indicative soon. My marketplace insurance doesn't cover blood testing until i meet a copay i dont have a chance of meeting. I will provide as much information as I can and let me know any questions I missed. The primary issue is my left foot having, what appears to be, very low blood flow in particular but my other foot/fingers are a bit colder than usual. Right foot has been paleish/purpleish especially when I saw the doctor 2 months ago but never as bad as the left included in pictures.
Particularly the left foot has had the worst part of the issue for the 3~ months it's been ongoing. At this point, all of the toes are generally a little purple and there have been times they don't blanch at all. My right foot sometimes seems inverse of this, but very rarely / not sure if it has happened since 2 months ago is also a little purple on the right side / right pinky toe. Currently the right foot is generally white and looks fine but still cold at the toes. I just put my feet under some warm water and the left foot gets red but the right almost turns whiter, brighter not pale.
The issue did seem worse around the time I saw the doctor, with my fingers having more profound coldness and issues with purple/paleness on the right foot. But my left foot didn't have nearly as many/much purple toes. Initially my left foot, 1st toe to the left of the big toe, would get sort of inflamed. Appears like fluid retention from my general research, gets red and a little itchy / sensitive , not super swollen but possibly swells a little? Looks like "covid toes" that I had seen. I still get this on my fingers randomly which dissipates quickly, where some fingers are red around the nail and it's a little more sensitive. I feel like this occurs a lot when I leave my apartment, now that I think about it. I have not had much pain aside from the early red toes/current occasional red fingers which is still pretty minor pain. No pain on the feet or anywhere else really, aside from the hemorrhoid(s) i had/have. If I excerise or run it under warm water it does blanch a little, but if I try it when I'm at my desk sometimes it doesn't blanch at all. I haven't really lost feeling anywhere on my body, it doesn't usually get numb but every now and then. Doctors did check blood flow to my foot, seemed fine. I visited urgent care for a hemorrhoid and asked them to take a look as well, and they checked the flow to my foot which appeared fine and didn't deem the issue urgent to take any further steps. Color is restored pretty quickly upon excerise, warm water, or raising my feet. My foot looks practically normal if I just do any of those things, but gets back to purple/pale quickly if I sit. Unsure about Reynauds as a cause because my limited understanding of Reynauds is that it isn't constant like this, more so a reaction. My feet have never really been itchy, only a little when they were initially inflamed. Again, I have not really had much pain anywhere at all which a lot of causes seem to have.
My background: I believe my blood mother had blood pressure issues but it's unclear. I have psoriasis, I have never been tested for diabetes, I have anxiety/depression, started ADHD medication (adderall) ~4 months ago so around a month before this issue arose - no prior ADHD diagnosis in my family. Wheneve i don't take it or do take it, doesnt seem to have an impact but I am going to try skipping it both of my weekend days instead of the usual one and see if there are any changes. I have always had issues with dexterity and feel out of breath quickly, have seen 205 bpm or so on a smart watch when going for a run (smart watch, so who knows). I was obese at that time around 210 I believe. My peak weight was 225 during 2022, but since lost weight and now around 175. Issue probably began when I was around 190. I went from 200 to 175 over a span of 4-5 months I'd say. All weight measurements in pounds. I work from home and don't know anybody here so leave very rarely, have had a pretty sedentary lifestyle for the last 2 or 3 years hence the weight gain. I did run a little when I got here but rarely leave for a run now. I do tend to sit poorly at my desk, with my legs crossed or one up but have been sitting properly the last week or so. I have been sleeping with my feet elevated. My diet is poor as I don't have a lot of spare money and struggle with most foods. I don't eat any meat right now, have usually eaten a lot of chicken in the past. Could have a minor lactose issue, but not diagnosed as the first time I've seen a primary care doctor was at that visit in Jan. Blood pressure checks appear fine everytime I've been tested. My resting rate is usually 78-85. I'm a 22 years old 5'9 ~175lb white male. I did use thc a while back 5 months+ but haven't since, never smoked or used tobacco, and don't drink. I was taking doxylamine succinate for the past few years but have recently stopped. Only known allergies are from a "severe drug eruption" due to Trazodone and recently another skin rash reaction to Quetiapine. Taking mirtazpine since 2 weeks ago, taking fish oil supplemements since a week ago. Have purchased some other supplements (Niacin, B12, Magnesium, Iron, L-argynine). The day after I took Niacin and L-argynine my heart felt weird, believe it was palpitations so haven't taken again.
I know this is a lot of information, and it may be an obvious (you need to be active or eat better) to fix the issue. I'm hoping to confirm that, or if it is something someone has seen before. I really struggle with excerise mainly due to insecurities and how tired it makes me, but have been doing jumping jacks on breaks and such to get my heart moving. It's difficult to go for a run when it absolutely exhausts me, went outside for 12 ish minutes total a few days ago and ran as much as I could which was not continous or for a very long period; at most I ran for 20-30s at a time and run out of breath. I had to chill for ~1hr30 afterwards before i could get up and try to play a game.
Let me know if you have any questions or any suggestions, thank you. Photo below.
tldr; unsure of cause of left foot having very purple feet from initially red/inflamed feet; and have limited resources for blood tests to figure it out for sure. Hoping someone has seen this before.

Hello everyone! A few months ago we moved to the Netherlands because my husband got a job offer in a local company as a qualified employee (1-year contract). After he started working for the company, strange things started to happen that are more like discrimination than normal working conditions. For example, when my husband fell ill and could not go to work because he felt very ill, the company informed him in writing on the second day that he was not allowed to be sick for more than 2 days in the company.
When public transport strikes started and for this reason, my husband could be half an hour late for work (like 1-2 days per 2 weeks), the company informed him that they were not interested in the strike issue, he should buy a bicycle, and get to work by bicycle (the distance to and from work is 70 kilometres !!!!). We do not understand if we have any form of protection and if this is the norm or discrimination in the Netherlands. Yes, we understand that the only option in this situation is to find another job, but I am very worried that this company will do something even worse, which might affect my husband's career in the future.
Maybe you can give us some advice or tell us if there is any protection for workers in the Netherlands in these cases or if it is better to leave the job on your own (which of course will put our financial situation at risk, since we have just moved to the country and started to pay rent, but we just cannot see any other way out of this situation).
Thank you all very much for your comments, perhaps you can advise us on something we haven't even considered.

This isn't a humble brag but I have read several recent post from younger players saying they are tired of playing, etc. While I have never been to the point of contemplating quitting, I have had my fair share of respawns, game objective changes, and "bugs as features" which have seemed more like malicious code written specifically for me at the time.
Through all of it, I'm in my late 30s now w a great career and loving family. I have a two year old who until reently found the "turn it up 10PM-6AM" buff and I do believe the devs need to patch it bc he raised it to 14/10 and overclocked for several consecutive months which sucked and my five year old seems to have more viruses than uTorrent but overall, the game is pretty pretty pretty good these days.
The point here is, keep playing! THere seems to be a lot of negative post on this sub about the game and I get it, no one needs to feel guilty for posting them, we all have those times in life, but, it can and often does get better w time and leveling up.
Best to all you players out there!

So to start, my mbti is somewhere between INTP, ENTP, ISTP, and INFJ. kind of all over the place, I know. I thought I was an INTP for years, and somewhat still do believe that. I'm almost completely sure that Ti is my dominant function. But, I'm starting to wonder if thinking that I have Ne is just from years of internal bias. Primarily because I think I have Se rather than Si, and because I think my dominant function is Ti, I'm starting to wonder if I'm ISTP.
so, all of that being said - how do you guys do things? I feel like I'm either 0 or 100. like I used to work 60 hours a week at my job and I'd spend the weekends unsure what to do to relax and I'd just clean all day. But then I hit major burnout, as I kind of hated my job and was surrounded by people who made me stressed and angry.
cut to now, about a year and a half later, and I'm at a job that I love with people I love, and I have almost total control of my schedule. I work between 30 and 35 hours a week, which is perfect, because I have a ton of hobbies and interests. the only problem is that I don't actually do any of them. In addition, I've been really struggling with chronic fatigue. But, I'm starting to think that the reason I never have any energy is because I'm not doing anything. But it's turned into this feedback loop that I don't know how to break, and it's starting to drive me a little crazy.
so I guess, tldr, how do you guys break out of a rut where not doing anything actually leaves you more exhausted, which then makes you to continue not doing anything?

Is it by chance a cover, did someone else make a cover of it, is it inspired from some older song? I'm feeling like Its maybe a song from the 80s... Shit, I don't know. I swere it's going to bug me all day.
Anyway.. song's pretty awesome. Thanks guys

Brand new Shield user as of today and I’m at my wits end. I have a very niche use case as I’m using a Nest Hub to cast music via Apple Music to my Shield with Shield as the audio destination set in the Google Home app. My young daughters and wife like to do this rather than AirPlay or the Sonos app to my Sonos Arc system.
My topology so to speak:
Voice casting from Nest Hub to Shield.
Shield is connected to 77” LG C1 via HDMI 3 with HDMI 3 set to bitstream and LG C1 audio set to pass through.
Audio out is to a full Sonos Arc 5.1.2 system. Audio with music is crackling and heavy static but all audio with video playback is perfect. All audio processing on the Shield is turned off currently with auto formats selected, DD DD+, DD+ Atmos, and True HD although this is just 2.0 stereo.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Sonos can be set as an audio destination in the Google Home app but unfortunately it doesn’t work with Apple Music so this is the only workaround I can think of.

Hey all,
My Dad passed over a month ago now, he was my best friend in the entire world, the closest person in my life and now he's gone. He went at a respectable age from cancer, but due to being a late child, I'm myself only in my mid-20s and now without any parents remaining.
Something that's making me so annoyed with myself is that I never took many photographs of my Dad, no videos at all of him or us being together, nothing to capture his voice so I could remember it throughout the years as I cannot remember my Mums who passed when I was a young teenager.
We had all these ideas to get videos of us sat together, for him to record me a message for when he passes, some funny pictures holding toy swords doing heroic poses, plenty of holidays where I haven't taken any pictures or even one time where I took many and the phone died which caused them all to be lost.
Now I'm very fortunate that I got to take a small few of and with my Dad, but I can't help but get frustrated thinking of all the wasted times and opportunities and I'm scared that the fact I never captured his voice via video or dial speaker will just keep gnawing away at me in the back of my mind.

Hello all!
Im from Montreal Canada and I’ve really been getting into watching football (soccer but I prefer to say football even though it’s confusing here since we have American football also).
I’ve been a hockey fan my whole life so I never really watched a lot of football growing up so I never really supported a team I just watched as a casual fan if there was a match on TV.
I’ve always like more underdog teams I never liked jumping on board with the top teams because it feels like cheating. So I decided to support Brighton! They’ve been playing good this season and I’ve really been enjoying watching them upset some of the bigger clubs. I’m excited to support and follow this team through the ups and down! ( I don’t know how to finish this post) So go Brighton go?

Hello. I recently applied for two different remote HR roles with CVS. Both roles are pretty much the same, but one involves phones and the other does not. The roles are just perfect for me as they are pretty much the same things I did in my previous remote HR role. I greatly enjoy this type of work and desperately want this job.
I applied to the first one about 2 weeks ago and the other just a few days ago. When I check the status it says, "Application in Review", which I assume means that it hasn't been looked at. I made sure to tailor my resume for this role and use keywords from the job description in hopes that I would get through ATS. Do you all have any other tips for getting my application to someone in the HR or recruiting department. I really want this job & believe that I could excel at it.
Any & all help is appreciated. Thanks.

Oh no I can't type... HOUSTON TX!
Hi everyone!
About a month ago I posted here looking for anything not-DnD and managed to scrounge a couple people to try out a Deadlands one shot with me GMing my very first game ever. It seems it went really well because we're starting a campaign!
I've had some other people show interest but no solid confirmations outside of the main two. So with one other "maybe" (which in my experience means no), I'm looking for at least one but preferably two more cowpokes to round out the posse.
Since I am a brand new Marshall, I will be pretty fast and loose with the rules, and learning as we go. I really enjoy games with a lot of IC interaction and more focus on role playing and overarching narrative rather than combating a new monster of the week. While I am accepting of all lifestyles, the game does take place in 19th century America. racism and sexism have been downplayed a lot in the setting and, while there will most likely be un-PC moments, none of it will be emphasized. I fully intend to respect everybody's comfort levels.
Anyway, before I ramble on. We're planning to play probably every other Sunday, from 2-6pm starting this Sunday, March 26. It'll be at a local game shop on the west side with future prospects of taking it to a player's house. if you're interested, send me a message. Well talk things out and go from there.
Thanks
