Costco monitors

I don't need this for gaming, but I spend a lot of time on the monitor I have now (LG 35WN65C-B...maybe we got it at Costco) and I really like it. But I'm changing jobs and have to buy a new monitor. Seems like the one I have is not made any longer...and there are so many models I just don't know what is what.
Would love to hear your suggestions. Again, I don't need anything super fancy, just a solid work monitor that won't wear my eyes out.

Acer Nitro 34" Class UWQHD Curved Gaming Monitor https://www.costco.com/Acer-Nitro-34%22-Class-UWQHD-Curved-Gaming-Monitor.product.1736263.html
I'm planning to buy two for my office, but I can't seem to find any review, video or spec sheet online, not even in Acer website.

I know it’s not a monitor, but is the TV good (hard to believe the feature support for the price)
I plan on plugging a PC or Xbox in as well as using the smart TV functions for Disney+ and stuff (though would it be better just to use video from my pc for that?) (mainly for movies I’ll probably use a second monitor for gaming)
https://www.target.com/p/vizio-65-34-class-m6-series-4k-qled-hdr-smart-tv-m65q6/-/A-82039533?
It has free sync (no gsync sadly) Full aray backlit Dolby vision Only 60hz even though it supports hdmi 2.1 (not sure if not having 120hz is a deal breaker)
Alternatively there’s this one https://www.costco.com/lg-65%22-class---qned80-series---4k-uhd-qned-tv.product.100978907.html
More expensive and it has
120hz Local dimming Free sync Dolby digital sound Active hdr
I’m not sure how much better the more expensive one would be I think 120hz would be noticeably better but movies tend to be filmed isn’t 60fps anyway so it might not make a difference to have 120hz
Anyway thoughts are appreciated

I’ve been eyeing this monitor for a few months and saw it was $70 off at Costco and jumped on it. I love everything about it, except the stand that comes with it. It takes up a lot of space and is not adjustable. Does anybody know of any replacement monitor stands that I can get?

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

Office work on dual monitors (Excel. Browsing large PDF batches on second screen. Gaming, mostly Dota 2 but would like to try some new games such as Diablo 4, Elden Ring, etc. Really I just want to get the most utility out of my money and not pay for diminishing returns.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

1000-1500

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Today

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

Tower only. Have an old 600W power supply that PC parts picker tells me doesnt have the right PIN for the mobo

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

US. No Microcenter

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

Reusing keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitors. May buy the MSI G271CQR at Costco

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

No

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

No

What type of network connectivity do you need? (Wired and/or WiFi) If WiFi is needed and you would like to find the fastest match for your wireless router, please list any specifics.

Wired

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

No

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

No.
I'm getting this note on PCPartspicker Note: The be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the ASRock Z790 Pro RS ATX LGA1700 Motherboard. Suggestions for another CPU cooler welcome.

The way I look at the ideal monitor for me would have all of the following:
Resolution: 4k
Size: 32”
Refresh: 165ghz
Panel: IPS
Response: 1ms
Sync: Gsync
Type: Curve
In theory this would be the perfect monitor for me but as always price is a factor. I found the following https://www.costco.com/acer-nitro-34%22-class-uwqhd-curved-gaming-monitor-.product.4000157379.html
This monitor on paper looks completely perfect but there are two caveats:
1: It has a VA panel instead of an IPS Panel
2: It has FreeSync which presents two problems: Problem 1 is that I don't know how effective FreeSync is for Nvdia GPU versus Gsync. Is this a difference that makes a difference? FreeSync will help with the price of the monitor. Problem 2 is that this doesn't come with a display port cord and FreeSync only works with a Displayport. So I will have to buy one which makes the cost a little deceptive. I have seen "Amazon Basic" for as low as 6 bucks and other "better ones" for 24.99 which turns this into a 350 purchase when all is said and done anyways. My second question is whether a more expensive display port connector really matters?
Finally, am I missing any critical variables?
In conclusion: I currently have a 60ghz 32” 4K monitor with what I believe is 5ms if memory serves (if there is a way to verify this let me know) with an IPS. The big push is just to get a higher refresh rate and smoother gameplay. I mostly play single player so I'm not sure I'll notice the difference on response time.
I currently have a 3080 and am about to upgrade my CPU to a 7800X3D so I do believe I will have the hardware to benefit to run the higher refresh rate at 4K in some games and definitely 2K in general.

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using. * Gaming: DCS - Primary Use Case, newer titles, Division 2. What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes? * $1700 - $1800 When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy. * ASAP What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc) * ToweOS/monitor. I have a keyboard/mouse. Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location? * Texas, USA. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated. * Keyboard/mouse. Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU? * Yes. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc) * None. Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components? * White, but saving cost is my first priority.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference? * Yes. I need a licensed Windows copy. No preference though, whatever is best for gaming. Extra info or particulars: I am an export from the console world and trying to get into the world of PC gaming. I looked at the pinned message on this forum and am trying to build with this microcenter deal that I found in the message. https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006230/amd-ryzen-9-7900x,-asus-b650e-f-rog-strix-gaming-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-combo

I put a 32" monitor of my choice (currently available at Costco), but open to better recommendations for the same price.
Would be gaming at [email protected] Hz or [email protected].
My primary use case is DCS, but would like to try newer game titles if they interest me.
I created this setup from the part list in the micro center deal build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gR3K6r
Any help is appreciated.

So, I have never ever owned a gaming monitor before. I just rushed to CostCo to get a MSI 27" Optix G273 to play Diablo IV tonight on it. Cuz I don't have any new gaming monitors at home!
Probably will be returning it, if I find out this monitor sucks, and for a little more money I will be blown away WAY MORE, lol So, let me know and I am about to play Diablo IV 😁

So I have a NUC that I built 12/2020 with these specifications:

• Intel NUC Bean Canyon i5 Kit (Tall) 2.3ghz i5 quad core $336
• Crucial 2 x 16 gb RAM $92. https://www.newegg.com/crucial-32gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/N82E16820156260?Item=N82E16820156260
• Samsung SSD 500 gb M.2 $60 Samsung (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology, Black/Red
• Samsung 24" 75 hz monitor $102 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-t350-series-24-ips-led-fhd-freesync-hdmi-vga-dark-blue-gray/6420870.p?skuId=6420870

This NUC has been working well for me for regular home use and minimal gaming (usually just dota) at the total cost of $488 not including the monitor. I just purchased diablo 4 and found out the Integrated Intel Iris graphics card can't support the game and frequently automatically closes.
I thought of a couple of options and any opinions would be appreciated

1. Buy a new NUC completely built
2. Buy a new NUC barebones and transfer RAM/SSD
3. Buy a gaming PC

Favoring option 1 since I do like the size of the mini PCs and the barebones with a good video card seem a little sketchy. I found these options:

1. Intel NUC 11 NUC11PHKi7CAA1 Phantom Canyon Gaming Computer,Intel Core i7-1165G7, 32GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, 28W Intel Iris Xe Graphics, NVI-Dia GeForce RTX2060 Discrete Graphics，Win 11 Pro Gaming PC $999. https://www.amazon.com/NUC11PHKi7CAA1-Computer-i7-1165G7-2-8-4-7GHz-GDDR6%EF%BC%8CWin/dp/B09BKRTSH9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2G6WOGWA7QFWT&keywords=intel%2Bnuc%2Bphantom%2Bcanyon&qid=1685761867&sprefix=intel%2Bnuc%2Bphantom%2Bcanyon%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.2b70bf2b-6730-4ccf-ab97-eb60747b8daf&th=1
2. NUC11PHKi7C, Intel Core i7 11th Gen i7-1165G7, NVIDIA RTX 2060 Graphics barebones. They are cheaper around $740-780 but neither third party sellers really have great reviews though... Simply NUC has it for $1000. https://www.newegg.com/p/1VK-004K-02KU4 or https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Enthusiast-NUC11PHKi7C-Barebone-i7-1165G7/dp/B09DDJFSNY/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=NUC11PHKi7C+barebones&qid=1685763765&s=electronics&sr=1-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.2b70bf2b-6730-4ccf-ab97-eb60747b8daf.
3. Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 5700G - GeForce RTX 3060 - 16 GB RAM - 512 gb M.2 SSD - on sale at costco for $800 https://www.costco.com/.product.4000051985.html

Let me know if you have any alternative recommendations or suggestions. Thanks!

I got this monitor https://www.costco.com/acer-nitro-34%22-class-uwqhd-curved-gaming-monitor.product.4000157379.html to use in my home office setup. Anyone known what I can buy to make.vesa compatible?

I'm upgrading my old pentium/1050 pc to a current gen machine. I came across this iBuyPower machine at Costco. At this price, is this a good buy?
I don't need the mouse/keyboard and don't care about rgb. I game in 1080p because that's what I can handle, but am looking to upgrade to 1440 monitors in the next few months.

A day late but we're here, my little cheeto eaters! Remember as always to grab your bingo cards and let's get our little long weekend slumber party going. This whole fucking thing is FORTY MINUTES LONG, you're all lucky that my sibling who was supposed to spend the day chilling at my place has apparently forgotten that plan.
​

• There's a new opening style than all her other vlogs. Not sure if that's because of Morgan but also I don't care enough to go hunt down exactly which influencer she cribbed this style from. It features a lot of horse butts. Also her using her phone in bed, which I thought she didn't do because she's mindful.
  • The music she uses is this song, which is DEFINITELY not copyright-free, so have fun learning how actual copyright law works, Paige! The lyrics playing over the are "there are times when/it feels right to/run away, run away/when you ask the same old questions/every day, every day/Why do I set the stage?/Why do I find my place on the pedestal?", because I guess Paige went to the Love is Blind school of "make sure the lyrics of whatever song you use are really, REALLY literal"
• Giveaway winners! Congrats to the three people who won a pile of Paige's old garbage! Don't worry though, if you didn't win her trash, she'll be doing a lot more of these because she "appreciates [us] guys so much" and "wants us to experience some of the things that I'm so grateful to get".
  • Nothing says grateful like giving away your extras to strangers and instead of doing anything to promote them like you were supposed to in return for getting them for free, using the existence of this stuff as a way to leverage yourself up on the algorithm.
    • There's also Dairy Boy in the giveaways, of course, because no one's buying it organically.
• She explains moving Louie, it's the same stuff she said on Instagram. Weirdly horses are like the only animal I've never gotten super obsessed with, so I have no idea how BS this is, but it's almost word-for-word her IG explanation, so it's the same level of BS that was. She does word this though as it being a "charity project" and "passion project" she "donated to", because there was a dearth I guess of places to keep your horse in the rich people part of Connecticut.
  • She has to first run to get a grazing muzzle so Louie doesn't overeat in the pasture. This sets off my internal bad animal treatment alarms in a huge way, but again, don't know enough about horses to know if this is warranted.
• Just kidding! Don't let Paige into a Tractor Supply unsupervised, she's too much of a ~country girl~ to not come out with "so much shit". She also got this beef jerky that looked "so good". It's Iowa Smokehouse beef jerky.
  • It apparently looked good because all she had for breakfast was coffee. Why she only had coffee I'm not sure, since it's not like she didn't have the time to get something better. Coffee and beef jerky for breakfast sure is a choice, and one I'm sure her intestines didn't make her pay for later. This summer is all about ~hot girl indigestion~.
  • Story time! This looks like "legit, real beef jerky", which Paige knows because when Paige was in boarding school she stayed with a family who had a lot of cows and they made their own beef jerky, which Paige was of course intimately involved in, I'm sure. Anyway this makes her have such high standards, which is why she loves when somewhere like Tractor Supply (an enormous fucking chain, Paige) or a "local country mart" sells jerky because it's always better.
    • Fun fact that took me less than thirty seconds to Google, this "real" beef jerky is also available on Amazon
• More of the same definitely not copyrighted song as she packs up Louie's stuff and moves him. There's a lot of woman laughing alone with salad shots as she packs up and pretends to talk to... someone and "carry stuff" (ie: stand around touching her own body awkwardly)
• Some weird things about this whole sequence - 1) the "farm" she moves Louie to appears to have very poor, dilapidated fencing, red flag for me. 2) Paige is wearing a white shirt and then a white cardigan the entire time while DEALING WITH A HORSE and it never gets stained or dirty, which tells me she did fuck all, 3) the only guy with her is this big bald much older man who I assume is the guy starting this venture, meaning he's almost certainly who films her cantering around on Louie without her wearing a helmet laughing, which is so unbearably awkward. Like imagine asking a random older dude to film you doing that in a pure white sweater, 4) when Paige brushes Louie he sheds SO MUCH. Is that bad? It feels bad. When a dog sheds that much, even in the spring, it usually means no one's been brushing it regularly, 5) Louie has such a dip in his back and it makes me wince every time, especially when Paige shows him next to another horse. I don't know what that's from, but I hate it and it doesn't look comfortable for him.
• Nance and Baloo are at home when Paige gets back so she's just going to "throw on a little outfit" and they're going to go out for Mother's Day in Brooklyn. Paige really, really didn't want to go into the city because I guess she's suuuuch a country girl (nice, Paige) but she's doing it for her mom and to see her sister
  • Oh my god she DOESN'T CHANGE HER SHIRT FROM THE BARN, she wears a white henley, what look like blue pajama pants, and a leather coat.
  • Nance steals some of Paige's clothes (how I don't know since they're totally different sizes) and according to Paige is"slaying the boots", a phrase I will pay actual cash money to never hear Paige say again
• Next morning, return of the out of focus camera, though it may have been by accident this time because it stays out of focus. Anyway serious business Paige with her serious business glasses is starting the day with some "desk work". Is that a thing? A phrase? What the fuck is "desk work"? Has anyone who actually does work at a desk ever called it that?
  • When she's in Europe it's definitely harder for her to sit and do computer work even though she has a laptop but starting the day on her desktop at the same time as her "whole team" (WHO) it really makes a difference for them being all on the same page.
    • Okay so my actual job in real life is doing shipping and order management for a small creative goods company. I know very intimately what goes into product development, order fulfillment, etc, and Paige is just straight up saying nonsense. Like I paused and gave serious thought to what possibly she could be talking about, and I don't know what all this "work" is. If she was making everything in-house that's one thing, but that's not work she could possibly be doing or overseeing from Europe. But if she's outsourcing stuff, having it sent to a warehouse, and, then paying someone to ship it out for her, I guess she's doing... development? But that makes no sense because again, she outsources everything. She isn't doing wholesale, there isn't a lot to arrange for pop-ups if everything is outsourced and pre-made and she's only supposedly having one this summer, she only has eight products so the website maintenance is pretty easy, as is accounting, and she only really sells stuff around a drop which she does maybe twice a year.......... like genuinely I'm baffled here. It's my job to do this exact same thing every day with products that aren't jeans or sweatshirts or whatever and I'm so, confused about what her "work" is.
    • Allegedly they're on the "final push" for so many big projects and you know what, if any of these projects involve Paige actually doing anything besides feeling three different samples of denim swatches or deciding which vendor she's going to outsource oven mitts to and saying "I like this" or "I don't like that", I will issue her an apology. I feel safe in the idea that I won't have to issue her an apology, but I will keep on on offer in the off-chance I'm wrong.
    • She just finished making a line sheet (genuine lol once I looked up what that was) and apparently we are going to freeeeak out when we see her new merch - sorry, elevated lifstyle products.
    • It's denim. She's been working on denim. She shows us the final washes but it's in direct sunlight so it's all blown out and out of focus so they look mostly white? But she got the "perfect color". IDK, it's a light wash. I prefer dark wash, actually. It's a lot more flattering and forgiving. But we've already determined my aesthetic and Paige's aesthetic are not the same aesthetic. She's nobly pushed back production six months because she refused to do a full run unless the wash was absolutely perfect. It was so expensive but she needed to love love love the denim, because it's really what she's passionate about and what she wants to do, she wants to be the best denim brand out there. You know, because she's hand-making this denim herself, not just sending instructions to low-wage Chinese workers while being afforded the privilege to fuss over the perceived quality for six months because she has parents who are willing to flush money down the toilet on this. Also, for the record, but denim is like... a choice? Like what is the vision, exactly, because every clothing retailer has some version of denim and people are already super married to their faves, so how exactly is this business model working for her, here. And it doesn't look like stretch denim either, which means it's going to fit a very, very narrow group of body types. Like speaking from ample experience crying in GAP dressing rooms over my "freakish" (read, not built like a popsicle stick) as a teenager in a time before jeggings, jeans are not forgiving and easily worn by everyone. The thing about what Paige is doing so far is that it's universal enough. You don't have to really tailor an oversized sweatshirt or trucker hat to fit you. Everyone can make room for another overpriced candle. But denim??? IDK girl, you do you.
• Paige makes Olivia a latte. Olivia comes in and say it's story time about coffee. Paige asks if she should turn off the camera for this and Olivia says no so Paige continues to film herself preening while Olivia tells her a story about how messy she is frothing milk. Paige spends the entire time interrupting her to go "no! No! No! No!"
  • They look at buttons and rivets and embossed leather patches for the back, and then sweatpants leg panel samples. Baloo hangs out with them and Paige tells him he's stinky. She eats toast.
    • WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANY OF THIS. She's not DESIGNING anything, she's just doing that thing like, you know when you're choosing your racer in Mario Kart and there are a couple hundred variations of wheels and chassis and you just choose the unique combos you want to put together? She's doing that but with generic clothing. I've been jokingly referring to her stuff as "elevated Zazzle" but this isn't even Zazzle because Zazzle you UPLOAD ACTUAL ARTWORK TO. Why is she re-inventing the wheel? What improvements does she think she's making TO A PROVERBIAL WHEEL.
• Not sponsored showing off gifting time! It's not in focus at all so we can't really see any of the products (professional!). One of the products she mentions is that she's friends with CYNTHIA ROWLEY'S DAUGHTER who has nepo baby'd her way into dropping oven mitts and aprons that look like Strawberry Shortcake's rejects. Like they're cute, but they're again little strawberries on white. Like tell me none of you silver spoon-ass bitches cook without telling me by making WHITE OVEN MITTS. Those will turn yellowish and burnt after, what a single batch of brownies? Taking a piece of toast out?
  • This haul includes her tennis Tommy bag. Not sure how she got it since she brags about it being "sold out everywhere even Poshmark and depop"
  • There is sooooooo much of this free bullshit. How does she even get this much free bullshit. Why do companies waste so much money sending this to people like Paige who don't fucking care and openly give it away. What is the point of an influencer. IDK at this point I'm spiraling, this vlog is like a third of the way through and nothing has happened.
• Paige unpacks with Nance. She has so many clothes and I don't think she's worn any of them. Full disclosure that this was the point I actually got annoyed and had to take a break and play some video games for fifteen minutes because while growing up comfortably or on the upper end of middle class in a generational wealth type of town has taught me a lot of patience for people with too much money, there is at some point a limit to how conspicuous over-consumption and waste I can handle, and that point for me came when I saw how many sweaters Paige has that look like they've never been worn. And the on top of this she has a giant suitcase of stuff she's going to depop! The environment? Never heard of her.
• Paige is going to get groceries. She's needed Nance's help to do all the hard stuff she's had to do today like going grocery shopping and having soooo many clothes. She goes to Trader Joe's, then goes to a horse shop and of course buys MORE SHIT SHE DOESN'T NEED. I'm not condoning what the French did when they invented the guillotine, like that was really violent and horrible, but the point is that the longer I watch this vlog the more I'm understanding their motivations.
• Paige goes on a sunset ride with her friend Lauren, this song plays in the background as a flagrant copyright violation, I realize at this point that there's no way this video is going to stay up without Youtube copyright striking it so I have to be extra detailed for posterity and we still have so much to go and this is going to take forever. Louie's back still looks horrible and as someone with inherited lordosis, I feel for him.
• Tommy facetime! He says exactly one sentence and catches a tiny fish, for those of you keeping track on your Bingo cards.
• Nance is still over Paige's house when Paige gets back because she never leaves. Paige is wearing old Dairy Boy sweats. At this point when I scrolled down to press the play button again I realized that Nance has posted a comment about how proud she is of Paige within seconds of the video being uploaded. I live with my mother and sometimes I still need her help on stuff like yelling at health insurance until they cover stuff for me and even I am confused by how codependent their relationship is. Like doesn't Nance have her own house? A husband? Other children? Paige has spent this entire vlog needing Nance's help to do everything from grocery shopping to folding laundry and acting like a teenager. It's a rich text for a therapist to one day unpack.
  • It's Taco Monday, this is just a dumb and boring version of Paige performing the white people taco night song. Also bewildering, Paige seemingly DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE TACO STUFF. It involves almost no cooking! She even bought the spices pre-packaged! She needs Nance's help on this too!
  • Undisclosed new cooking knife brand product placement. They are amazed that it............slices.
    • OH NO SHE SAYS SLAYING WITH BOOTS AGAIN ABOUT THE KNIFE END THIS MISERY
  • Ahahhahah the reason they're so impressed is because they've apparently been cooking with unsharpened knives. Like Paige didn't know you could sharpen knives. A master chef, ladies and gentlemen!
• Oh god we're only halfway through. Paige wakes up the next morning. She got so freckly yesterday (read: she's courting melanoma and is going to age like a raisin). She's going to go play tennis at a club in Greenwich her parents are members at (Note, she shows the logo which means you can spend five seconds googling to discover it's this club. Membership is invite only and it's gauche apparently to discuss how much membership costs, but the estimate is EIGHTY GRAND A YEAR. To be clear, that is nearly THREE TIMES the average American household income. Paige is the child of people who spend more in one year to play tennis a few times a week than most people do getting fucking doctorates, which clears up a few things for me: one, I've never gotten those texts where she casually demands Morgan Wallen pay her back tens of thousands of dollars like it's $50, but I guess to her it is like $50, and two, why everything about Paige and how she acts towards people and money in this video is a million times more effective at radicalizing people on economic policy than anything Bernie Sanders has ever lain awake at night dreaming of.
  • Camera going in and out of focus during this explanation.
  • Ah she's doing it with her mom. Again. Heaven forbid Paige breathe without Nance.
  • Oh also she has to shoot an ad in the tennis dress, but she definitely likes and would go to play tennis anyway.
• More unboxing undisclosed adver- I mean PR.
  • I'm so serious, tthe flagrant wealth being thrown around in this video and the amount of free stuff a trust fund baby with absolutely no merits or skills whatsoever is getting because she has 300K followers on Instagram that she probably bought half of is like the best argument for socialism I have ever seen.
• .Paige gets dressed in the third outfit of the day to go to the dentist. The pants are pointedly too big on her so they don't stay up in the waist and create this weird enormous kangaroo pouch around her crotch. She pairs that with a toddler sized medium t-shirt for a football team she's probably never heard of, a choker that looks like something a boy band member in the early 2000's would wear but out of fake pearls, and cowboy boots. It's... the look sure is looking, let's just say that.
• Paige opines on how much she prefers to do vlogs at home, but don't worry, she won't stop doing travel vlogs for us! (Oh thank goodness, where would we be without the insights we get from them.) She feels like they add variety to her channel (what, no, we LOVE coming with you to the barn to watch you ride without a helmet over unsourced music! five times a vlog!). Sometimes she feels like there's this pressure to show us as much as she can, which explains why all we see in her travel vlogs is hotel room bathrooms, tennis matches, and the tops of various tabletops in restaurants. Anyway she feels like there's pressure because in reality she's there for Tommy. Which we KNOW, that's the entire PROBLEM, Paige. If you were HONEST about the fact that being a WAG on tour sucks and you don't get to actually see the places you're pretending to really go and immerse yourself in, we WOULD HAVE FEWER COMPLAINTS AND YOU'D FEEL LESS ANXIETY, the problem is that you have to keep compulsively lying about how cultured you are and how you really ~got a feel~ for the location. Just stop lying!!! Stop!!! Lying!!! Challenge!!!!! The anxiety you feel and the reason you have to monitor this subreddit comes from your CONSTANT LYING.
  • Ugh she would NEVER have gone to ROME if it weren't for Tommy. I think this is a ploy for authenticity but boy is it coming across as privileged.
    • I do think in her own Paige way though this entire monologue she has is about something I've noticed her talking around a lot - I think she's afraid if she stops travelling and being a WAG no one will care about her. I think she's terrified of doing what makes her happy, which is being home, hanging out with her mom, riding her horses, and spending her parents' money. But if she just let herself do the things she actually liked and stopped trying to always pretend to be cooler and more interesting than she is, no one would keep paying attention to her, because it's not like she has a sparkling personality or wit or unique point of view. Like I'm an interesting person to talk to, but if I tried to make a vlog of my life it would be pretty boring. I work a 9-5 M-F job and the most interesting part of my life is when I go to a concert or craft fair on the weekend or one of my neighbors goes out of town and I watch their cat. It's not riveting, but I also don't need to be doing fascinating things in order to be or feel like an interesting person. But people like Paige who need to always be travelling and going to events and flaunting how busy they are are often really sad and empty people. They're not doing any of the little mundane things that make people happy and spending time connecting with the people around them, they're just always moving around because they're afraid if they stop for five seconds, people will see that the only thing they have going for them is all that movement and travelling. I think Paige is constantly torn between the anxiety that comes with constant travel and isolation and putting herself on display and removing herself from the things that bring her a sense of calm and security, and the anxiety that if she allows herself to feel calm and secure, she'll lose the attention she craves. IDK seems like a thing she shouldn't keep indirectly admitting to in vlogs, seems to kind of undercut half of her material, but what do I know.
  • Also she really is going to positively contribute to Tommy and his life and career, ie: she needs to go home and feels comforted by home because that's where her mom and Amanda wait on her hand and foot and everything is about her, which she misses when she's with Tommy because when she's on tour with Tommy she has to accept that he's the center of attention and she's not.
  • Her home vlogs have been performing the best, like, significantly. Since she probably buys views and comments, this just means she likes them better and therefore buys more engagement for them.
  • Apparently her analytics are telling her that 30% of her views are coming from the "explore" feature, which she says is YouTube rewarding her for being consistent, and, uh. No. Not how that works.
    • I mean yes if you buy engagement it will put you in the algorithm more, but this is the time in the video where she accidentally self-owns. If you're an actual channel getting actual views from people who actually enjoy watching you, then VERY LITTLE of your viewership should be coming from the "explore" feature, MOST of it should be coming from subscribers or regular viewers or people who watch similar content. That's how the majority of people watch YouTube or find new videos to watch. But if fully a third of your viewers are coming from what's essentially a randomizer button, that pretty much confirms Paige is buying views and/or that a lot of viewers leave after a minute or two. Because if her content was good on its own, people would see it and subscribe, and then she wouldn't need to rely on the "explore" feature. But if she, as she says, is consistently getting a third of her viewership from that feature, than that means that a third of people are just randomly watching whatever YouTube puts in front of them and not engaging with her at all, meaning the ONLY POSSIBLE explanation is that she's essentially buying enough engagement to keep appearing on the explore page, but buying the opportunity to be put in front of people isn't actually getting her a larger audience because what she's serving them is a warmed-over turd.
  • Anyway Paige is counting on you not knowing the extreme basics and trusting that she "knows someone who used to work at YouTube who told her that's how the algorithm works"
    • Um if you don't know about social media - no one who works at YouTube or any social media company knows how their algorithm works unless they're the ones writing it, and if they do know, they're not going to tell you because that's extremely valuable, proprietary information and also there's like a lot of papers and NDAs and non-competes they'd be breaking if they did. They're telling you to upload consistently because it's good FOR THE MEDIA COMPANY. The company is trading in being a content hub, so they need people to consistently be uploading content, ie: raising the value of their site in a way they don't have to pay for. That's the entire business model of every. Single. Digital media platform. Heck, that's how most dating apps work too. The product is data. They want you to be giving them free product.
  • "I don't know, like I don't like doing things just for social media anymore?" HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
    • And a week later you spent a weekend attending influencer parties in the Hamptons for....... what exactly. The scintillating conversation?????
    • She's very quick to say that's not the case if she has to shoot an ad! Loves shooting ads! Please keep sending her free stuff!
    • God this is taking me multiple hours but at this point I've sunk too much time in and also am convinced this won't stay up for copyright issues, so I'm taking a break to like, stretch and clean the bathroom, anything to get me moving and listening to my own thoughts which are in complete sentences.
• I'm back after cleaning the bathroom. I've been at this so long that my sibling has shown up. But I only have ten minutes to go and I REFUSE TO GIVE UP. This whole completely unhinged and unintentionally revealing rant has approximately a trillion uses of the word "like" is from 21:00 to 26:00 and if you want to watch it you can. I probably should have transcribed it for a full AP Lit level analysis, but I'm tired. If we're lucky, when Paige tries to re-upload this with copyright-free music, she'll have kept that in there.
• Paige ordered a shed! She's so excited!
• The fence looks mildly less jacked up when they go back. Paige is brushing Louie constantly in this video. Fourth time I think we've seen her do this. I feel like there's a lot more to horse care than brushing them and she only shows us this part because it looks aesthetic and she doesn't do any of the actual hard or necessary parts like shoveling horse shit, but what do I know.
  • This sequence uses unsourced but definitely copyright song number three!
  • Fun fact: Paige is the same fake brown color as Louie's dappled neck. Aw, you know how pets eventually look like their owners? Cute.
  • Shout out to Paige's friend (perhaps Amanda? Olivia? Can't keep the preppy brunettes straight anymore) who actually wears a helmet riding.
• Next day, we open with a bit of this song (not sourced, copyright infringement number four, possibly more that at this point I no longer notice tbh). Paige puts on boots to go to the new shed and realizes the vlog is going to be so long because she's never done a whole week at a time before. Because I've made it this far, I'm the best. (Aw.)
  • Paige calls Tommy to wish him happy birthday and films it, which seems... odd. Especially since she doesn't film it in a way where he can see she's filming.
  • Paige gets tea for breakfast (nutritious) and a coffee for the guy at the barn we must have seen earlier. His name is Aaron. I could do some google sleuthing and find him probably, but I don't care. Paige met him going on trail rides at her old barn. Do middle aged men usually hang out at barns doing trail rides? Just scoping out young idiots with disposable income? The whole thing seems sus. Apparently he has like seven kids.
  • Paige never realized how expensive pre-made sheds were, but it's a local business that makes it by hand! I assume the local business is called Costco And Sons.
  • More uncredited The Shins plays as Paige only loads the shed with blankets and nothing heavy or unpicturesque.
  • Another Tractor Supply run, at this point they're who really should be sponsoring Paige
  • Paige goes to say goodbye to Louie and he HIDES FROM HER IN THE WOODS
    • Girl.
    • Oh my god no wonder he's mad at her, they've been staying somewhere WITHOUT A STRUCTURE. He's been sleeping OUTSIDE. It got into the 40's every night in New England last week!!!
• Out of focus Paige talking about how she had suuuuuch a long day "running errands". Olivia didn't get to join Paige on her little horse girl excursions because she had to be at the warehouse and onboarding a new DB employee. Anyway Paloma is in town now
  • Paige learns that apparently you're supposed to be washing veggies as she prepares things to grill. PAIGE HAS BEEN COOKING THIS WHOLE TIME NOT WASHING VEGGIES. I.......... I am going to need to be sedated after this.
• Paige exfoliates and puts on a definitely not sponsored face mask
  • She's wearing skiing pajamas. In case we forgot she was a skier. Did you know she was a skier????
    • PSYCH, these are from previous ads with PJ Place but actually she really likes these and this one ISN'T an ad she just loves the product so much
• Paige is doing her makeup! We're at the end stretch! I'm almost there!
  • She took a day off of vlogging to go see her grandparents, but immediately segues into her Ulta trip. Because of her stupid grandparents, she didn't get to go to the barn, frankly how can she survive in these conditions.
  • Dairy Boy phone case plug! She was soooo specific about what she likes in phone cases and definitely didn't just choose between Zazzle, Redbubble, or (insert other brand here)
    • It's a shitty thin cover that looks like it protects your phone from approximately nothing and should cost $10 but I estimate she'll sell it for at least $40
    • Of course because Paige was so super particular about the details and business-minded when it comes to quality it took a long time to make........phone cases.......
  • Tommy calls and says hi
  • Paige rambles about her day and makes coffee. Tommy sent her peonies because he's "so cute". We see the phone cases and they're weird and ugly. More "gifting" (undisclosed advertising) that came in the mail
• Paige makes pickled red onions, every time she does it she changes the recipe a little bit even though she totally has a recipe and isn't googling. She starts pickling carrots which she says are going to "go bad soon" (that takes like six months, how do carrots even go bad?) She also does it in a water glass which, good luck ever drinking from that again without it tasting like vinegar.
• And then with no warning, it cuts off. That took me three and a half hours. It's been a journey and I hate it. If there is ever a vlog this long, I'm doing it in segments across multiple days because I'm exhausted by this much wealth and inanity. Time to go touch grass, start dinner, wash my vegetables before I do so. You know. The little things.

54 female, 330#, 5'10" white, Canada non smoking, occasional drink, would love to start CBD dummies again for sleep if I know it's not going to mess with my heart :) No other drug use. Heart health concerns
I have a desk job, not super active due to spinal stenosis, overweight and almost pre-diabetic (was PD, now controlled). Controlled asthma (maybe one flare up a year), food allergies, environmental allergies, medicine allergies, chronic hives. Thyroid levels have been well controlled for years. Chronically low on Vit D even when I used to work outside. Current meds Levothyroxine 88 mcg daily Amlodipine 5 mg daily Candesartan 4 mg daily Bisprolol 2.5 mg daily Vit D 2000 iu daily Vit B12 1200 mcg daily Zomig when needed (migraines) Blexten when needed (allergies)
Ok here's the details: Late last year I had two episodes where I had stabbing pain in my left upper quadrant - my shoulder, my chest, kind of behind my ribs, and since then I have had some intermittent shouldearm/finger tingling on the left side. I still sometimes have a pain in my chest, but it's just a dull ache. It feels almost 'heavy' somehow, not actually painful - just uncomfortable/unfamiliar. (I tend to completely spiral and hyperfocus on things (in a negative way, with much anxiety) so I immediately went to the doctor.). Bloodwork was all fine except for low B12 and very very low Vitamin D. They did chest xrays which were clear and a full abdominal ultrasound which showed nothing. She did notice I have always had a bit higher than normal blood pressure so she started me on 5mg Amlodipine. My primary doc then referred me to a cardiologist for a stress test. In Jan I did a treadmill test but could not keep my heart rate up as long as they needed to due to an old ankle injury and the incline on the treadmill. They just said it was 'not enough information to diagnose'. Then I had a nuclear stress test and that showed a small percentage of my heart 'does not work properly' (less than 5%). Cardio doc referred me for a CT scan but it's not until Sept. Cardiologist started me on the following meds (in addition to the amlodipine) Asprin 81 mg daily Atorvastatin 40 mg daily Bisprolol 5 mg daily Ramipril 5 mg daily I started Atorvastatin and Ramipril on the same day and had an allergic reaction to one of the meds then had to wait for my system to calm down to try both again, one at a time. (I have severe food allergies and chronic idiopathic urticaria, so it set me off for a couple weeks). Ramipril was fine but Atorvastatin caused a reaction so we stopped that. By March I was on Asprin 81 mg daily Bisprolol 5 mg daily Ramipril 5 mg daily Had an anaphylactic episode on April 8 to (probably) food and ended up in the hospital on a Saturday night. They monitored my heart rate and bp there and they said nothing about my heart rate or my blood pressure (it seemed to be what they expect for the medical issue I was experiencing). The monday after the episode I was unable to regulate my heart rate or my blood pressure (both were high) so I went back to emerg. The doc said sometimes that happens, plus with my anxiety he was not surprised. Had the heart wires (ecg?) and blood pressure cuff on the whole time, said BP was high but not out of range for what he would expect. He gave me a few ativan and told me to just give myself a few days to even out again. I relayed the episode to my cardiologist and the next week she changed my meds to: Amlodipine 5 mg (no change from before) Candesartan 4 mg (new med) And instructed me to stop taking the bisprolol, the ramipril and the aspirin. One week after the med change I noticed my heart rate had gone from an approx 74-77 rhr to 85-89, and I wasn't sure why. Cardiologist said the bisprolol was the one that reduced my HR so it's fine to see an increase, and I need not be worried unless it's hitting 100 or higher with regularity. Had a follow up with my regular doc for a shingles vax two weeks ago, mentioned that my anxiety was a little worse than the past month or so, she advised it's likely because the bisprolol was a 'beta blocker' and was helping to keep me in a calmer state. I am super hesitant to try yet another new pill I could be allergic to (for anxiety meds) so she put me back on bisprolol, but at half the dose. So 2.5 mg. I have a blood pressure machine at home and am trying to do more regular readings. I have had a notification for an irregular heartbeat twice now, once on Saturday and once today. So now I am completely spiralling again and sort of need to know what is normal and 'acceptable' or when I need to be concerned. Full disclosure, my anxiety is VERY high when I don't have all the information. I have been trying to learn as much as I can so that I don't keep ramping myself up with worry. I know that the irregular heartbeat could be just because I moved or because it's just a consumer machine from costco. But then, I'll get the tiniest little flutter or weird feeling and will be crazy obsessed with watching my heart rate on my fitbit (or even wearing my pulse oximeter for hours). I know things fluctuate, etc., but I am waaaay high up on this here ledge of anxiety, which does not help my damn heart. Thank you for your time.
