The question may be a little unspecific but I know absolutely nothing about skateboarding and I'm going to get my first one very soon. I don't know if i should get the standard one or look into longboards because I don't know the differences between them 😭 I'm going to a skateshop so the employee can assist me, but I still want to know what I'm looking for beforehand. Should I get the deck and wheels separately or just buy an assembled one? Does it even matter?

Also, I want to know the price range so I don't overpay too much !

So this is more of a rant rather than a vent, but there was no better tag for it since I'm not looking for any advice.

As the title stated, I am jealous of people who know when and why their tinnitus started. I see a lot of people on this sub find a way to ease or even make tinnitus go away by doing some absolutely random thing which is often related to how they got it. Of course I have no idea if any of this would work in my case because research on tinnitus is poor and I feel like it has a mind of its own sometimes, but it would be easier for me to try new things in an attempt to ease my tinnitus a bit (even though what I have now is somewhat mild, I think?). I do not know when my T started because I have it ever since I can remember and I didn't know that the ringing isn't normal until a few months ago, I have no way to estimate how and when I got it but I must've been really small or it had to happen gradually for me to just not notice the change. I always hated loud sounds, never went to concerts and I think I take good care of my ears. I wish T was researched better because it's hell to live for some and just very uncomfortable for others. I don't think people realize how much it can lower the quality of life and how much of a bother it is to not remember how silence sounds.

No matter how envious I may get, we're all in this boat together and I'm happy for everyone who miraculously found a solution for this big question mark of a hearing problem!

I remember trying some of them a few times but honestly all they did was make the pitch in my ears "wobbly" (?) for a little while, lol. I'm not sure what exactly they're supposed to do but they're sometimes a decent background noise.

I'm turning 17 this year and in my 3rd year of high school and graduating next year. I have never taken part in any drama classes or anything but I remember being fascinated by plays ever since I was a kid. I have a big stage fright but I'm hoping to become less anxious, awkward and confident with people.

I would really like to link my future with theatre (not necessarily an actor, working in the background is also fine) but I feel like everybody started as young kids and I'm completely late to the party with everybody my age being already way ahead of me.
