Thinking of getting the s25, but I may as well get the s24 as it is cheaper and the upgrade had apparently only been incremental. Only thing keeping me from this is that there might be AI features that I might find useful on the s25 but are not present on the s24, and would never be.

Has Samsung gatekept AI features from the S24 yet? They’ve done it to the S23 so now its just a matter of time and how useful the gatekept features will be. The AI feature I really like is call screening

My stimulants have made me able to focus and concentrate much more; it actually allows memories to be created so I’m less ‘forgetful’ and can remember reasonably insane amounts of detail some time after.

This is only when the stimulants are in effect which is when I’m at work. After that I’m back to my less productive self and have to get the stimulant out of my system for sleep.

It hasn’t improved my motivation, and purely served its purpose of allowing me to function as a normal human being, which is only while its in effect.

It helped with anxiety that came from dysfunction, but that is only while I’m on it. It gives temporary boosts in mood.

How have your non-stimulants help, and which one are you taking?

TLDR: My iPhone 14 PM is a bitch to use because its so heavy and big in my hands. I’m upgrading to iPhone 20 pro anyway next year, and thinking to buy a smaller phone for the meantime so I’m not inconvenienced for the next year. I would be buying a refurbished, old, 128gb phone model if I were to go through with this, which cost 12.5k-17k PHP. I would effectively only have this phone for a year though. so IDK.

My iPhone 14 PM weighs like a brick and is massive in my hands. I’m on my phone for longer than I admit on weekends so on some days it really wears down on me. Its also so heavy that it frickin sags my pants/shorts on one side when I have it in my pocket.

I’m upgrading to iPhone 20 and skipping the 18, the new features this year are underwhelming. I anticipate that the iPhone 20 will have great upgrades due to the 20th anniversary so when that comes out I’m definitely upgrading.

My 14 PM works fine, its had its screen replaced by third party so all the AMOLED stuff is gone, black colours in my screen look lame and I can barely see the AOD when I don’t have it right up in my face.

But its really fking heavy, too big for my hands and is such a pain to use. I still have my s21 on my bed for alarms in case my iphone m mysteriously gives out (it had water damage hence screen replaced) and every time I pick it up its like a wave of sudden comfort remembering how easy using my phone used to be. The thing is it’s rid with multiple green and pink lines which makes it unusable, which is why its only function to me now is as an alarm.

Every time I pick it up though there is a genuine shift in experience because its smaller. From the past few weeks it made me swore to only get smaller phones and never the ultra/pro max’s versions.

There are refurbished options online, which sell the s21, s22 and s23 for 12.5k, 13.9k and 17k PHP. Its significantly cheaper, I’ve compromised to the dated versions since it will be replaced in a year anyway, compromised on memory as well and would be getting 128gb, I won’t accumulate that much memory from a year’s use, and I would be buying effectively second hand units.

12.5k-17k expense is sitting on medium for me for now. I could afford it, I don’t have any urgent bills to pay, if I just hold out on major spending for the next 2 months. Which really sucks to feel when I have to do it, as I already have plans for some more justifiable spending in these upcoming months. But to me, I feel like I’ve made reasonable compromises to rationalize buying this phone but irdk.

Sorry for the long rant.

I live in SA where GPs can get accredited training to diagnose ADHD and prescribe.

I’m now on Vyvanse 60mg with 10mg dexamfetamine boosters but wanted to try a more permanent treatment rather than a stimulant that boosts me for a few hours. Vyvanse is effective on me for 4 hours and dexam 5mg for 2 hours (anyone else?)

Hence the wanting to explore non stimulant. Problem is my GP would prefer I come off stimulants while we titrate non stimulant. Problem is, also, that its not until 4 weeks for the non stimulant to take effect, I don’t think I can do 4 weeks without Vyvanse, my job performance would plummet.

I read that this is a common treatment though, Vyvanse and Guanfacine. I didn’t really get to explore why my GP wouldn’t want this for me, didn’t get to ask what the side effects could be.

Is anyone on this combo in particular? How is it and what have been the benefits and the risks?

I’m not married at all. Pero ang dami kong firsthand witness, sometimes kahit sa fam ko din, na yung dad yung nagttrabaho (my mum works too) pero pag uwi taas paa na lang sa sala hanggang matulog? While yung wife takes care of the kids during the day and STILL takes care at ginagawa yung gawaing bahay kahit nakauwi na yung husband. This means na mas madaming work hours yung wife. Makatarungan ba to?

Ang rebut ng lalaki is ‘ako naman ang nagbabayad ng house and bills’, to which nadodown yung wife kasi totoo naman. Pero napakaunfair. Ano tamang panlaban na sasabihin dito? Ang dami kong kakilala na ganto than I should know or comfortable with, and ang dami ding ganto na naririnig ko online

First hand witness experience ko lang to so baka may better husbands out there. Pero do you think na ang laki na ng risk ngayon dito mauwi yung situation kapag naka husband setup provider yung marriage?

I remember a few years ago in home ec in high school, a lot of my classmates washed the dishes by scrubbing them with sponge in hot soapy water, to which they proceeded to dry them with a tea towel and put them on the rack. No rinsing, first time seeing it back then and it baffled me. Is this common in Australian households?

Di ko gets. Ang ganda na ng laban tapos may kakampi biglang magsosolo invade tapos talo agad. Nalalaman ba ng bots na mananalo na tapos magtthrow na agad? Para ipataa yung winrate ng mga players?

Isa kong kakamli nag ganto tapos visit profile yung profile picture pixelated na ewan

Context: I used to wash with soap and water down there after the toilet. Then washed my hands after as this is how I was brought up culturally. There weren’t ‘material’ left on my fingers but noticed that the smell on some days lingered right after.

I've since started to wipe before washing with water and soap to reduce the particles I touch. But now that I've adopted this, I'm so paranoid of all things I touched before and if I made them 'poopy'/dirty.

Context is the question going around na if youre in a forest, would you rather be in it with a man or a bear, and halos lahat ng women choose the bear.

I see some stats that say 2/3 of graduates dont practice law, leaving more job openings for those who do want to practice. Is this necessarily good? Doesn’t this mean that there are 2/3 of graduates who couldn’t practice law because there were less openings?

I’m a computer science graduate and job hunting was HELL. Down in the dumps hell. I’m working somewhere else now unrelated to my degree. I’m passionate about law, but don’t want to put money in a degree I’m not gonna end up using like what happened to me with CS.

I’m going to go back to school and choosing between Law (passion) and Nursing (in high demand) but if law job hunting experience is anything like Computer Science, I’m going with Nursing.
