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.

After getting diagnosed and trying drugs, I felt like my mind is slowed down and not jumping around anymore thinking dozens of different things. At first it was nice to be able to do one thing at a time. But after couple months I started to feel like my brain is just drugged and I'm not having any kind of control over my thinking. It has been slowed down by being partially disabled, at least it felt like it. So I stopped doing drugs, started daily HIIT practice to get out of my mind and back to feeling my body, started to learn to pay attention to things I'm doing at the moment. It's still a struggle, but the one I have control over, it even feels a bit empowering.

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 .

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!

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.

Chinese, might be dependent on the province though.

Some cultures eat with their mouths open and it is considered as a kind of a compliment to the cook, like "hey it's so good, it makes me do this loud noise while I eat it". Quite unpleasant.

My first thought was going on another Titanic expedition in a sub.
