2023.06.02 01:36 Volitanic My Journey To Find Comfortable Wireless PS5 Headphones
I’ve recently started a search for some new headphones for my PS5 and wanted to share my results as it has been tough to find a set that is comfortable and doesn’t cause pain.
TL:DR – Start with the Sony InZone H7 (or even the H3 or H9).
For some background, I have a child under 3 and recently became able to play a bit longer each day. I am averaging around 1 hour a day using launch Pulse3Ds. Maybe once every week or two, I will have a longer session of up to 3 or 4 hours. Prior to this, I was at about half that time. As my playtime has increased, I have found myself getting headaches and ear pain. Specifically, pain in front of each ear near my temples and my left ear gets raw from rubbing the inside of the headphones. It seems that my shorter sessions were not an issue, but these longer sessions have added up to me being unable to wear headphones for days at a time while I recover.
I also work from home and wear a HyperX Cloud Stinger headset during meetings. This equates to around 4 or 5 hours a day of additional headphone time and I have not had this pair hurt or cause headaches.
Lastly, my rough head measurements are 23 inches around, 6 inches wide and my left ear (the one that rubs) sticks out around 2/3 of an inch.
Below are my thoughts on the headsets I’ve used in the order I tried them. I’ll try and cover what helped me land on a final set as it will hopefully help others with fit/pain issues. I am not covering sound quality much and will link to RTings for that. Given my head rejects most headphones, my focus is on comfort with sound quality and features being of much lower concern. My goal is to find the best headset I can that does not hurt me and will work wirelessly on my PS5 and possibly my Steam Deck (stretch goal). Sony Pulse 3D --Recommendation – I bought these at launch and would only buy them now if you are not sensitive to clamping pressure, have small-ish ears and do not want to buy anything of higher cost on this list. I sold my pair as these are what started this whole journey. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sony/pulse-3d-wireless --Spent - $100 + $30 for third party ear pads. --Type – Wireless Dongle --My Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight - .65 pounds --Clamping pressure – .9 pounds --Cup Friction – Some rubbing pain after long sessions. --Testing Duration – 2 Years --Thoughts – I powered through these for ~two years. This is the pair that caused me a lot of pain now that I have more gaming time. I thought the sound quality was fine at the price point, but the clamping pressure felt higher than .9 as the original and third-party ear cups were not soft enough. They also rubbed my ears and never loosened up. The top headband would also hurt my head if I moved around a lot during a session (getting food, water, etc). The original ear pads broke down and I replaced them about 4 months ago. These helped make them more comfortable, but the clamping pressure overpowered them. Lastly, I had to run a USB extension cable away from the console to plug the dongle in to as they would cut out randomly from some sort of interference otherwise. I do have a lot of electronics near the PS5, but most are powered off when I play and the only active WiFi thing is a Harmony Hub so I’m not sure what is causing the issue. The extension did solve the issue about 99.9% of the time. HyperX Cloud Stinger --Recommendation – I’ve owned these for a long time and would buy them if you have basic wired needs. I’m keeping my pair for Zoom use only. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/hyperx/cloud-stinger --Spent - $30 --Type - Wired --My Usage – Zoom, 4-5 hours each workday. Experimented with them as an option for long term gaming. --Weight - .6 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1 pound (these are old, so this is probably less now) --Cup Friction – No rubbing pain. --Testing Duration – 1 Day --Thoughts – I bought these on a whim pre-child when I started playing PS4 games that needed a microphone. These worked fine for those rare cases. However, I would not recommend them for regular gaming use as there are many better wired options now. However, they are totally sufficient for zoom meetings as I don’t care about sound quality or the mic being excellent. The volume control on them is also handy for this use case as is the flip up mic. While it would be nice for them to be wireless, it’s not worth the money to replace them just for Zoom. They have not caused me any pain during long stints, and they have held up extremely well over the past 3 years that I have used them heavily for Zoom. Bose QuietComfort 35 II --Recommendation – I’ve owned these for years and I love them. Everyone with comfort issues should own a pair for anything other than gaming. I’m keeping them until they break and may stockpile a few depending on what Bose does with the QC line. Will use them as a backup set for gaming. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/bose/quietcomfort-35-ii-qc35-ii-wireless-2018 --Spent - $350 --Type – Wireless Bluetooth --My Usage – Mainly travel and focused listening. Stints of up to 10 hours at a time on planes. Have been using them as a backup set for gaming on the PS5 while testing everything on this list. --Weight - .54 pounds --Clamping pressure – .69 pounds --Cup Friction – No rubbing pain. --Testing Duration – 3 Weeks --Thoughts – These are the first set of quality headphones I ever purchased. I used them mainly for travel and focused listening and did not realize how spoiled I was. These are extremely comfortable, and I think are part of the reason that I have such high needs for comfort in headphones. The only negative is the slight “underwater” pressure feeling you get when the ANC is on. However, they do work in a pinch for gaming and are extremely comfortable. If Bose ever makes a set for gaming that works over 2.4, they will have my money immediately. They are Bluetooth and thus need an adapter or something to hook into your system. I pipe the audio through a Taotronics Bluetooth adapter hooked into the headphone jack on my TV and it works ok. I’ve owned these since 2018. Aftershokz Trekz Air (Now called Shokz OpenRun Pro I think) --Recommendation – I’ve owned these for many years, and you should try a set of bone conducting headphones if you have not. I will always own a pair of this type of headset mainly for their versatility in providing audio when you don’t want to fully disconnect. I’m keeping these for other uses and maybe for the steam deck on rare occasions but they are not suited for regular gaming. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/aftershokz/trekz-air-bone-conduction --Spent - $160 --Type – Wireless Bluetooth --My Usage – Cycling, walking the dogs, listening to things while watching the kid. Experimented with use on the Steam Deck and as a final solution for PS5, and they are meh. So basically, I will use them for listening to things where I still need to hear the world. --Weight - .06 pounds --Clamping pressure – .32 pounds --Cup Friction – N/A --Testing Duration – 1 Day --Thoughts – They will not blow you away with sound quality, but I do love them for cases where I want to listen to something but need awareness of the world. They are weird feeling if you are not used to them, but I find I use these the most in my daily life outside of my Stinger headset for Zoom meetings. They are great for walking the dog, cycling, or listening to a podcast while Paw Patrol is on. Seriously, try a pair if you never have. Not really an option for a gaming headset though. Steelseries Arctis Nova 7p --Recommendation – Would buy if you are not sensitive to clamping pressure. This seems to be the best set for the price of all that I tested, and I would have kept them if I could have solved the pain issue. Ended up returning them. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/steelseries/arctis-nova-7-wireless-7-7p-7x --Spent - $140 --Type - Wireless --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight - .72 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1 pound --Cup Friction – Rubbing pain after long sessions. --Testing Duration – 2 Weeks --Thoughts – I was hoping these were the holy grail that everyone said. The sound was excellent, and the unit was well built. The headband was comfortable however, my ears still rubbed a tad but more importantly, they caused a ton of pain on each temple after only 1 hour. This seems to be due to the clamping pressure and the design of the pads (and possibly my head shape). My wife experienced the same issue though. I suppose I could have put them on a box to stretch them out and reduce the clamping pressure, but I experimented with manually reducing the pressure while they were on, and they still hurt my temples. It seems the pad/clamping combo does not work for me, and I really don’t want to gamble on the box method and buying third party pads as that seems like a lot to ask to make them work when there are other options. Astro A50 2019 --Recommendation – Skip these. I was extremely unimpressed compared to the cheaper sets on this list. Also, mine came with the headband busted which seems common and crazy as these launched in 2019 and this should be solved by now. I returned them. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/astro/a50-gen-4-wireless-2019 --Spent - $300 --Type – Wireless Dongle/Base --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight - .8 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1.3 pounds --Cup Friction – Rubbing pain after short sessions. --Testing Duration – 2 Days --Thoughts – Man I wanted to love these. They seemed full of features and of a high-ish quality. However, the headband constantly popped out, the cups kept sliding up and down when I took them off and on, my ears rubbed quite a bit and the sound was not particularly better than the Nova 7ps. Overall, I was thoroughly unimpressed by their price point and comfort. Lastly, the pads were a bit rough and had a weird smell to them that would probably go away but was noticeable from 2 feet away and was nauseating. Obviously, these were a huge letdown. Logitech Pro X Wireless --Recommendation – Probably skip these as they have a white noise hiss and clamping pressure issues. It’s sad as they sounded good, and I really liked the build. I returned these. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/logitech/g-pro-x-wireless-lightspeed-gaming-headset --Spent - $180 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .83 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1.1 pounds --Cup Friction – The white noise prevented a long session, but no rubbing pain after the short session. --Testing Duration – 1 Day --Thoughts – The build of these really impressed me when I took them out of the box. They felt sturdy and solid when moving it around. However, they hiss when turned on, which is crazy as these launched in like 2019. Apparently not everyone can hear it, but I can and it’s a common complaint for people who can still hear in that range. I tried updating the firmware sliding the volume around on them, the PS5, etc., and they just hiss. It’s like a light white noise that you can barely hear when it’s quiet. They also put a lot of pressure under my cheek bone after around 30 minutes. I’m not sure if that would be solved with some tweaking or using the second set of pads they came with as the headache inducing hiss was enough to send these back. Sony InZone H7 --Recommendation – These were my final pick after a couple of weeks of testing. The sound was a little less full than I would like, but it’s not noticeable unless directly compared to other headsets. I also felt the surround sound was better than most and these are really light and comfortable for a long time. I’d start here if you have similar issues to me. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sony/inzone-h7-wireless --Spent - $200 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .71 pounds --Clamping pressure – .8 pounds --Cup Friction – No rubbing pain. --Testing Duration – 3 Weeks --Thoughts – I really did not want to like these at first as they look like shooting headphones and feel cheap. Also, you cannot adjust the EQ on the PS5. However, these are extremely light and comfortable, and the spatial audio is good. I’m not sure that they are worth $200 compared to some of the others on the list, but these were the only pair that worked well over long sessions for me. The Barracuda Xs were close, but those were a little uncomfortable at first but that faded away in long sessions. The thing that sold these were the slight edge in comfort and the dual audio with Bluetooth. Astro A30 --Recommendation – These a worth a try if you do not mind a rubbery material on the headband and earpads and have a head/ears in the medium/small range. I personally found the material bothersome, and the headband hurt the top of my head. Returned them. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/astro/a30-wireless --Spent - $230 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .76 pounds --Clamping pressure – .9 pounds --Cup Friction – No rubbing pain. --Testing Duration – 3 Days --Thoughts – At first, the material on the pads seemed neat. It felt nice in my hands but the second I put them on, I hated it. The ear cup openings were a smidge too small for me but did not hurt when wearing them. The sound profile was decent, but the headband ended up hurting me after a long session. If the cups were a tad bigger and the material on them was different, I think they would have worked and not caused me head pain. Razer Barracuda X 2022 --Recommendation – These were my #2 choice. I really did like these to solve my comfort issues, but there was some random interference and very slight comfort issues during the first 10 minutes of wear that made me send them back. If it weren’t for that, I may have kept them as they are the cheapest set with a low clamping pressure. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razebarracuda-x-wireless-2021 --Spent - $100 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .59 pounds --Clamping pressure – .8 pounds --Cup Friction – No rubbing pain. --Testing Duration – 3 Weeks --Thoughts – This is a tough one. They were comfortable for long wear, but they caused interference with my controller and would cut out rarely even with the dongle on a long extension cord away from my entertainment center. I found these to sound slightly better than my #1 pick (H7s), but the Bluetooth was not active while playing and they could not have the EQ adjusted. It was by a slim margin that these went back. Razer Kaira Pro PlayStation Edition --Recommendation – They have a good all-around feature set, and I would try them only if you have a medium/small head and ears and are interested in the haptics as I don’t think the clamping would be an issue on a smaller head or maybe on someone with a different head shape. I sent these back but wished I didn’t have to. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razekaira-pro-wireless-for-xbox (They didn’t have the PS5 specific review) --Spent - $200 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .73 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1 pound --Cup Friction – Rubbing pain after short sessions. --Testing Duration – 2 Days --Thoughts – I really liked the idea of these with the haptic feedback, but it ended up just feeling like extra bass shake. I suspect I would have disliked it of long sessions and turned it off immediately. They put too much pressure on the front of my ears and caused pain and made them feel clogged. They also made my ears hot and both ears scrapped a bit. However, the feature set, like being able to swap sound profiles with a button, was great as was the sound. HyperX Cloud Alpha --Recommendation – Hello white noise my old friend. While not as bad as the Logitech Pro X, it was still enough to make these a no if you can hear it. If you cannot hear it, and are sensitive to clamping, these are a great option. Since HyperX has no fix for the white noise, I returned them. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/hyperx/cloud-alpha --Spent - $200 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .7 pounds --Clamping pressure – .9 pounds --Cup Friction – The white noise prevented a long session, but no rubbing pain after the short session. --Testing Duration – 1 Day --Thoughts – I thought I would hate these as they looked really ‘gamer’, but the build quality was pretty good. I liked the sound profile, and they were comfortable. I would say that these would have been a front runner if not my final pick were it not for the white noise. It was just enough that I knew it would cause a headache, which is unfortunate as the cups and headband did not cause any pain. So, if you cannot hear the white noise and are sensitive to clamping, consider these. Razer Kraken v3 Pro --Recommendation – Basically the same as the Kaira. I was hoping that these would feel better as I like the Kiara, but no luck. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razekraken-v3-pro-wireless --Spent - $180 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .8 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1 pound --Cup Friction – No rubbing pain. --Testing Duration – 2 Days --Thoughts – I really liked the Kaira ones and was hoping these would feel different. Like the Kaira, they put too much pressure on the front of my ears and caused pain and made them feel clogged. They also made my ears hot, but it didn’t scrape like the Kairas. Razer BlackShark V2 Pro --Recommendation – I tried these as I liked all the other Razer models other than their comfort issues. These also caused a lot of ear pain after about 20 minutes, so I sent them back. They were one of my favorites if you ignore the pain part. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razeblackshark-v2-pro-wireless --Spent - $130 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .72 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1 pound --Cup Friction – Rubbing pain after short sessions. --Testing Duration – 2 Days --Thoughts – Again, the Razer headsets seem to have clicked with me other than the comfort issues. I ordered this one on a whim to see if it would be better than the others, but the wire cup mountings made them less adjustable, and I think are what caused the pain so quickly. I thought these were well rounded and was a bit sad that the pain hit so early. Razer Barracuda Pro --Recommendation – Since the lower end Barracuda X was a finalist for me, I threw a stab at these despite the higher clamping force. Sadly, the clamping force was an issue, and they made my ears hot. I returned them. --
https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/razebarracuda-pro-wireless --Spent - $250 --Type – Wireless Dongle --Usage – Gaming, 1-2 hours a day with bursts of up to 4 hours. --Weight – .75 pounds --Clamping pressure – 1.1 pounds --Cup Friction – Rubbing pain on both ears. This was the only set to have that on both. --Testing Duration – 2 Days --Thoughts – It’s strange that these are so different from the 2022 X lower range model. I understand they have different drivers and features, but you wouldn’t think they would feel like a totally different line. However, they do and given the shallow cups and that they cause clamping pain and made my ear hot after only 30 minutes, these were a big disappointment.

2023.06.02 01:36 NopetyNope2 The loss of hope
I don't know where to begin, I've thought about writing this so many times and quit that I don't know if I'll go through with posting. I always feel stupid when I try. Who wants to even read this. I don't have anything worthwhile to say. Just to let it out, I guess. (I'll tag vent) Feeling anxious about what to title. Sigh I wasn't forever alone before, until I was for so many years that I realize now I am, I feel like this is it. This is me. This will be it until my long awaited demise. I am grateful for the things I got to experience in the past. Grateful that I once felt love or hope. But now I'm too broken from the past. Too afraid to even try, too worthless. Glad I got to experience being a mom, they are almost out of the house now, and soon they will go on with their lives if I've done well by them. That's not the type of loneliness that I fear. It's this closing myself off from even having hope for a relationship. Knowing there's just something in me not worth anything to anyone.
This was yesterday's attempt at posting, didn't have enough karma. Maybe this will go through today...

2023.06.02 01:36 KundalinirRZA There is nothing physical and that is a scientific fact.
Quantum physics reveals that everything is made out of energy.
Everything that seems to be stationary is actually on an atom level moving and vibrating at different frequencies. What quantum physics has found is that what we actually perceive as matter is actually just an illusion of energy and light.
When physicists started to take the atom apart, they found things like protons, neutrons, electrons and then they said what are those made out of? And then they've got to things like quarks. And then they said, well what are quarks made out of?
And basically at the fundamental core of an atom, there is nothing material there at all. It's all just energy, it's an energy vortex.
We perceive ourselves as physical beings, physical structures. But according to quantum physics we are just energy vortices.
If we can understand that what we perceive as matter is energy, that energy is the building blocks of matter, we can then manipulate our very spiritual energy to our benefit.
This spiritual energy is apart of everything but can be most easily felt within us through self-induced goosebumps from positive events.
It has been researched and documented under many names like Euphoria, Tension, Ecstasy, Prana, Chi, Qi, Vayus, Aura, Tummo, Orgone, Kriyas, Mana, Od, Bio-electricity, Life force, Pitī, Frisson, The Secret Fire, Voluntary Piloerection, Rapture, Ruah, Ether, Nephesch, Chills, ASMR, Nen, Spiritual Energy, The Force, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.
There is so much more I can share about what you can do, how to do it and etc with this energy but to avoid writing up a book here's a
Youtube video going more in-depth about the wonders of your spiritual energy.
P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on
spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.

2023.06.02 01:36 dinosanus Asked to complete days of work during the hiring process
The hiring manager at a company where I applied to intern asked me to work on a project with the company from Monday until Thursday to test my abilities
I wouldn't mind doing a "test task" for a couple of hours to prove my skills but 4 days of work seems a bit excessive. Even for a fresh graduate looking for entry-positions
From what I understand this is for an actual client?
Wanted opinions on this kind of practice, especially for young professionals bc idk if this is standard or not (doubt it is tbh)
any tips on how to handle it is welcome as well

2023.06.02 01:36 mattperkins86 Disclosure could happen today, but it wouldn't matter anyway.
The disinfo campaign has worked flawlessly. Let's be honest with ourselves. Short of Alien spaceships, landing in multiple major cities at the same time, any other disclosure would be met with skepticism.
Any real video of a UFO would be labelled as "Fake" thanks to today's CGI and techniques available to even the general public.
Any announcement from the U.S Government (Or any governing body) would have a sizeable number of skeptics claiming some sort of human cover-up (Project Bluebook, Fake Alien Invasion for NWO, etc.)
Any witnesses to any crash, Aliens, bodies or craft would be ridiculed and every black mark in their past brought into the public eye in an attempt to discredit them.
I can see a lot of people getting sick of the 'baiting' and 'promises' here. But what exactly, would make you happy? Because short of MASS contact, I simply don't think that 'Disclosure' is as simple as it sounds.
We live in the age of disinformation, where some people will defend their right to remain stupid aggressively and others will do anything in their power to spread whatever information they believe to be true despite evidence to the contrary.
We should be celebrating the fact that we know 'nothing' in the grand scheme of things. It's exciting, knowing there is so much more out there. The entire purpose of life is the peaceful pursuit of knowledge. I don't get why the unknown scares people so much.

2023.06.02 01:36 ad_astra96 What’s on the leaves. Guttation? Nectaries? Some sort of pest?
| Monstera adansonii cuttings. Got the plants a few weeks back right before a move, started yellowing at my new place (thought it had just been shocked at moving twice so soon) to the point where I’ve salvaged what I could in cuttings and wet sticks. It was like this when I got it, as in the green healthy leaves at the time still had this sticky/shiny substance and these weird beads with orange/brown centres. I had cleaned all the leaves with water and paper towel and now, about a month later, it’s back? I can’t seem to find an answer as to what it is… submitted by ad_astra96 to plants [link] [comments] |
2023.06.02 01:36 AislinnNoir "Very Minimal Marginal Osteophyte" Reversible???
I am an extremely active 32F. I am an average weight and spend around 6 days of the week at the gym. I do everything! I do cycling, weight lifting, machines, floor exercises, yoga. I have a personal trainer I see once a week to help me with the correct form.
Around 6 months ago I noticed I began having some lower back pain and stiffness, especially after walking long distances or bending over too much. I visited a physical therapist who told me it looked like a "stability" issue (my core was weak while the rest of me wasn't) and advised me to do core strengthening exercises, so I've been adding those onto my workouts.
However, I still had back pain, so today I finally went to an urgent care center to ask for an exam and an X-Ray. Imagine my surprise when I was diagnosed with scoliosis (my spine curves slightly to the left) as well as osteoarthritis in the lower back where the curve is. The diagnosis notes say that there's very minimal joint damage, and the doctor said that I can "reverse" said joint damage with resting. She said no more working out unless it's walking because I could make my damage worse.
She specifically recommended not going to the gym for 6-8 weeks and then seeing the physical therapist 3x a week. I spend so much time in the gym that I am terrified what this prolonged bed rest could do to my body.
However, as far as I know, it's not possible to reverse arthritis once its set in is it? I'm thinking of going for a second opinion. Not working out anymore seems like it would make things worse. But I also don't want to make it worse by continuing to work out. The doctor told me that if I keep overusing these joints, I could end up actually disabled, so I'm pretty scared now.
As far as I knew, I was a healthy, fit person who just happened to sometimes have some back stiffness. Now I'm in my early 30s with an arthritis diagnosis and an order for bed rest or else I risk disability.
I have no idea what to even do.

2023.06.02 01:36 Rakinika To the lady who "probably works in administration" on the bus this morning
I hope the rest of your journey inbound wasn't super painful and that racist and ignorant older woman who took up the three priority seats in front of you didn't take up more of your time. I apologise for choosing to stand at the front of the bus where "I was most at danger WHEN a bus accident occurs" and causing this woman to go into a downward spiral associating my decision with my race. And later your appearance with your job (unknown) and ability to contribute to society (more than me). Making eye contact with you smiling back in amusement made me feel a lot better. Unfortunately Apple doesn't make noise cancellation strong enough to cancel her.

2023.06.02 01:35 RyeNCheese Weird white patterns on my cactus
| The white patterns have been there quite a while. I let them be because it didn’t seem like it was hurting the plant but I noticed the growth without it is starting to look healthier than the stuff with it. I think I saw a similar post a while back that said something about bacterial/fungal infection but I can’t find it anymore. If anyone knows what’s going on with it or knows where to find that other post/can confirm that it’s bacterial/fungal please let me know. submitted by RyeNCheese to plantclinic [link] [comments] |

2023.06.02 01:35 Comfortable_Bat_6535 Duggar shows?
Hello!! I’ve never really watched the Duggar’s at all (besides a few episodes when I was younger and had cable). I keep seeing so many videos on tiktok about how they have a documentary coming out? My question is if I wanna watch all the Duggar content in chronological order where do I start? My impression is they had more shows than just 19 kids and counting? I would love to have a list of them all so I can go in order. Thank you!
Also sorry if this isn’t the right flair I wasn’t sure what to choose

2023.06.02 01:35 throwawayquestionsa I spent my life fighting to survive with dreams of someday feeling alive and I never will have the chance
My body is dying, my brain is alive, and I'm only 27y/o
All of my life I've fought alone, I lived in the projects with my mother not being in my life and my father trying his best but was never around
So I pushed through all of the horrors and managed to graduate high school even after not completing a single class in my junior year because I was in-and-out of a psych hospital for 4 months because of 3 suicide attempts
I was given my old medical records a few months ago and apparently had taken an IQ test while I was inpatient and was never told my score - apparently I was well into the genius level with a note from doctor that it would most likely be higher if I was in a less shattered state of mind
I can't ever claim to have considered myself dumb, and I have an unmeasured but obviously apparent EQ as well. I am hyper analytical and perceptive of the world and the people in it, to the point that I could read any person's emotional state just by their presence
It made me incredibly introverted as I am an empath I would feel the pain of those around me and the pain of living in this fucked up world and it was too much to bare so I would hide myself away because I couldn't turn it off and I couldn't cope with it either
I wanted to do something go in this world, I wanted to be able to fight for those who grew up in even worse situations than me, I wanted to help millions of people in even less developed countries because I knew the pain of never having help
I tried to go to college like I was supposed to, and would have had maximum financial aid but my grandfather passed away the year before I started and left my father money which was promptly stolen in a legal dispute from a greedy aunt, yet it showed his income as much higher for that year
I was told that I would receive no financial aid as a result, so I reversed my decision to go but they promised my naïve self that they could fix it and it's a common thing that happens, so I decided I would still go, a month before I was supposed to begin they told me they couldn't fix it and I once again reversed my decision, and shame on me but I fell for it again when they told me they could fix it
As I needed to register for classes I signed up, moved into a dorm, and was told they couldn't do anything about it and I'd need to take out private loans, $28k in total for 1-year of college that I medically withdrew from after planned suicide attempt in my second semester
I went inpatient again, but because of the private loans stipulations if I was out of school for 6 months I would be required to pay them back, because of the timing of when classes next started and when I went into the hospital, that 6 months hit where I was "out-of-school" and the private loans placed a hold on my transcripts and restricted me from applying anywhere else, and blocked my from registering for classes until I paid them off
I did the only option I could and looked for work, and because of my terrible emotional state I was rejected from even gas station jobs because my heart just wanted to be able to use my brain and not waste away behind a counter but I had no access, no connections, no financial help
I eventually had one hiring manager at a retailer give me a chance and I rapidly climbed to an assistant manager role after 6 months having no prior experience because of my ability to handle so much, I had fought all of my life so a busy and overloaded work day wasn't daunting, it was just my norm
I rode my success and with my ability to work with and understand people and what they wanted to hear I managed to work at Microsoft with no degree at only 21 and rode that throughout Covid - I had finally started to make it, I was making the most I ever had but my city is in the top 3 most expensive places to live in the US and I still struggled financially
But I managed, I worked two jobs to try and pay off the student loan debt faster while also completely supporting myself with no aid from family
I continued to develop my skills and I continued fighting my way upwards in corporate, with the dreams that someday I would make enough to have breathing room and finally escape the life of poverty
But as soon as I starting making more, the unpaid hospitals bills from 4 inpatient stays came back to haunt me - $60k in debt with nothing to show for but being alive to pay off the debt
So I fought for the last 7 years and I've still been fighting - I have $10k of debt left, I make slightly over 6 figures and I still have never had the chance to breath and because of this fucked up economy and the greed of the ultra rich I can't get promoted fast enough anymore to make enough to save and I've only been surviving and living paycheck to paycheck
And I know this isn't unique but I had set a goal 7 years ago to pay it all off and then start to build a life for myself then, I scarified having relationships, having friends, spending time with family, and really any forms of happiness because I just wanted to be free and give myself the chance to LIVE and not just SURVIVE
I was so close, I was so fucking close to finally getting to a networth of 0, I had fought for my life with not a single dollar of support from anyone, and I was counting down the months until I would make that final payment
But over the last few months I had begun developing pain in my back and just kept working and fighting through it, I'd wake up in pain, go to sleep in pain, but in my mind I just wanted to be free of the debt so kept on pushing myself anyway, pain be damned
Until 2 weeks ago when the pain had reached a point where I couldn't sit at my desk anymore without feeling a fire in my back, and I finally went to the doctor - my reluctance from doing it sooner was the fear of more medical bills after I had been working so hard to pay them off
Well hindsight is 2020 and maybe things would be different if I stopped fighting but come to find out I have stage 3 lung cancer
I've still been processing it, and maybe i'll survive, but I've simply lost the will too
27 years of fighting without reprieve, 27 years of trying to see above the water line, 27 years of dreaming of someday not being in the noose that is money, and 27 years wasted with no friends and most of my family already gone
All I wanted to do was help people, all I wanted to do was break away from this fucked up game of money, I just wanted to feel an ounce of freedom
and now my outcomes are simply die or fight more, possibly live, and restart my nightmare of leaving medical debt as we go into another financial crisis and I still have no financial support or savings
I just wanted to feel alive and be able to live an average life and I got neither
I've lost my will to live and my will to keep fighting, this world is so fucked up and I can still realize my situation is far from the worst and there are people out there who suffer even more and will continue to because of this horrible fucked up game of money
fuck

2023.06.02 01:35 ad_astra96 What’s on the leaves. Guttation? Nectaries? Some sort of pest?
| Monstera adansonii cuttings. Got the plants a few weeks back right before a move, started yellowing at my new place (thought it had just been shocked at moving twice so soon) to the point where I’ve salvaged what I could in cuttings and wet sticks. It was like this when I got it, as in the green healthy leaves at the time still had this sticky/shiny substance and these weird beads with orange/brown centres. I had cleaned all the leaves with water and paper towel and now, about a month later, it’s back? I can’t seem to find an answer as to what it is… submitted by ad_astra96 to plantclinic [link] [comments] |
2023.06.02 01:35 FutaWonderWoman Examples of high-tech combatting sorcery/magic in fictional universes.
Hi Folks,
I am trying to build a high-tech vs sorcery scenario. I just keep having a hard time figuring out how tech can combat sorcery. I'm curious to know about existing universes where advanced technology is used to counteract or combat magic. Can y'all please share any examples you know?
For example:
In Witcher they use Dimeritium bombs to disrupt magic.
In Warhammer 40k they have Necron Pylons and Vortex grenades.
In Dragon Age, Templars have Lyrium.
I tried looking up in DC or Marvel, but nothing came up.

2023.06.02 01:35 UserNo485929294774 I stopped caring
Everyone says that that you need to have small wins every single day to build yourself up but it’s gotten to the point where if I do something small it has zero impact on my confidence. At the end of the day wether I’ve made my bed or not still doesn’t have any impact whatsoever on the struggle to pay rent.

2023.06.02 01:35 OkSatisfaction1674 OAT experience (400TS, 390AA
Hi everyone! Here is my detailed post about how I studied for the OAT and how I managed to get a good score 😊 I used:
OATBooster (Highly recommend) Chad’s Videos OAT Bootcamp Formula Sheet - Physics
Biology (400) OATBooster seriously covers everything you need to know for this section, but I found that if you follow the 10-week study schedule, the content can be overwhelming just due to the vast nature of this section. I ended up watching all the booster videos and memorizing pretty much everything on the cheat sheets (these are amazing). For the topics I was solid in – like biochemistry/genetics, I wouldn’t review as much towards the end. The biggest piece of advice I can give in this section is to make sure you understand all topics on a general scale. I also recommend doing the entire biochemistry question bank on OATBooster (about 200 questions) because it really is the foundation of this section. You must also do all the 10 OAT Booster exams and mark questions that you got wrong or have trouble understanding. A week before your test, do all the marked questions again. There is a specific tab on the OAT Booster website where you can review marked questions which is really helpful.
General Chemistry (400) Honestly, this section was a lot harder on the exam than on OATBooster so I’m surprised I got a 400. I felt as though the wording on the test was weird and I had a lot of calculation problems on my test which is not what I expected reading other people’s experiences. Practice is key here. I did all the OATBooster extra questions (there aren’t too many) and watched all the videos that OATBooster provided. I did not re-do the gen chem questions from the tests as I did with biology, but I presume this will help if you are having trouble in this section! Don’t forget to memorize formulas/basic conversions/stoichiometry. Q = mC(deltaT) is a BIG one (for gen chem and physics).
Organic Chemistry (400) If I can do it. You can do it. Trust me. I passed organic chemistry by a THREAD about 6 years ago and completely forgot all the information. If that doesn’t give you hope, I scored a 280 on OC on an OATBooster test TWO WEEKS out from my test date. Here is what I did:
Review fundamentals from the beginning. OATBooster has an entire Q-bank on Fundamentals that I did TWICE because those questions tend to pop up more often. Understand acidity, Lewis acids/bases, SN1/SN2, E1/E2, bond-line structures, IUPAC naming, hybridization, etc. The fundamentals comprised about 50% of the questions on my exam.
Review spectroscopy. C-NMR, H-NMR, UV/Vis, IR, Mass spec. Just know the main values for IR, know the splitting patterns of HNMR, and know how many signals you get on a CNMR based on a structure, etc. These questions were about 10% of my exam.
Reactions. This is the last thing I reviewed. I started about 2 weeks before my exam where I went through one page of the OAT Reaction sheet each and made notes on my iPad. I didn’t watch too many of the videos but after going through the reaction sheet and drilling it in my head, I would do the question banks. After doing the question bank, I would do the reaction question bank. And then at the end, I had time to do the question banks for each section again. The only one I did not get to was the enolate reaction question bank. The reaction banks tend to be easier and question banks are more like what you will see on the test.
Overall, this section boils down to 50% understanding and 50% memorization. If you’re great at memorizing like me, I would save the reactions towards the end and focus on the concepts. If you’re awful, start early and drill reactions and reagents in your head! Know what each reagent does. I would also recommend knowing which solvents are used for whichever reaction.
Physics (340) My physics section was also strangely difficult. I feel like I got the first 5 questions wrong right off the bat. The wording was very unfamiliar, and I feel like the only reason I ended up doing well was that I learned how to manipulate units to get to an answer through lots of repetition. I had about 70% calculations and 30% conceptual which I was a bit surprised by. Sometimes they will give you a question that seems like a calculation needs to be done, but it’s conceptual and the answer is very simple. Learn to notice these types of questions and it will save you time for the trickier problems. Memorize all your formulas in depth. Know SI units for everything because one may pop up. Especially optics because I had about 5 questions on optics alone which is significant if you can get them all right! OAT Bootcamp has an amazing table on their formula sheet with all the optics stuff you need to know so check that out. General concepts like when velocity = 0 during projectile motion, F= ma concepts, and thermo stuff, collisions are also important. Make sure you do all the extra questions for physics as well on OATBooster because they are actually pretty good. The exams on Booster are slightly different than the real deal but it doesn’t hurt to practice. Not tougher per se, just different.
Reading Comprehension (400) 20 minutes per passage and search and destroy method worked best for me. I suggest trying out all methods that Booster teaches and see what works for you
Quantitative Reasoning (390) I don’t recommend the booster videos if you already have some math background cause I feel like it’s a waste of time. I took Calculus in college, so I was generally strong in algebra. But struggled with probability and geometry. I recommend doing 30-40 math questions per day from the booster question banks as they contain everything you needed to know. I kind of got lucky here as geometry is my weak point and I didn’t have ANY geometry questions surprisingly. Another super helpful tip is to not worry about certain questions you cannot solve quickly. I guess on about 3-4 questions because I couldn’t solve them quickly and I still got a 390. This is because you definitely don’t want to run out of time and not get a chance to answer questions at the end that are easy points for you. Oddly I had two identical questions with two different numbers which I found super strange.
Overall, I studied for about 8 weeks for 20 hours per week. Mainly focusing on practice questions. I highly recommend if you are short on time to not focus a lot of your effort on content review and focus on practice questions instead. You learn a lot more in one question than you think.
Practice Test Averages in the following order in case you were wondering!
BIO/GC/OC/RC/PHYS/QR
Booster #1: 350/340/330/380/290/320
Booster #2: 330/360/330/380/320/340
Booster #3: 370/350/340/360/290/310
