someone needs to inspire Musk to build a hospital bed with a couple of industrial robot Cyber arms for accommodation and cyber care
if we also get him to test it on himself, I'm sure we can get this midgley to midgley himself in half

that's very interesting so far, thanks so much!
also, I didn't get a notification for this, are notifications busted or what?
Very useful, that's an interesting possible link there - Intuitively, I'd have guessed it the other way around, ie. RSD being a symptom of an excess of inhibition. Gonna let this ferment a bit, maybe come back to it. A heartfelt thanks to you for sharing your experience and hypotheses, it's super helpful - and I'm sure not just - to me
I can talk about how I have managed my own experience of RSD, why I am convinced that it exists, and how I have responded to treating it if anyone is interested.
please do, I'm very interested. When I first heard about RSD, all the lights went on in my head, it explained so much of my social inhibitions, my reluctance to talk to people and just general anxiety when meeting strangers - especially when I found them interesting in some way. Until then, I thought everyone was deathly afraid of these things and everyone else was just way braver than me.
Understanding some of these connections has already helped me a lot, but I'm sure you've got some interesting, more in-depth things to say about it all - if you feel like it, please do elaborate
hey, genuinely thanks for your answers, lot's to think about
I start every day with a medium amount of coffee, tobacco and weed and a few hours later I even end up eating something. I feel like I'm often both under- and overstimulated with different things at the same time when sober, and a steady consumption of tobacco and cannabis throughout the day sort of modulates it out to where the world isn't just bearable but wonderfully interesting, enchantingly complex, vibrant in color and sound without being overbearing - the opposite of the hopelessly boring, grey-as-concrete noisescape that it often appears to me when sober. It's not like I don't have sober days, but I try to avoid them when I can... I hear you on the 'prone to addiction', it's why I'm trying to understand it all a bit better. What it's doing for me, where the pitfalls lie, etc. Pretty sure the tobacco is the most dangerous substance in the mix - interestingly, I usually don't fall back on pure tobacco when I can't smoke weed with it, which is a common thing I see with other enjoyers of the good herb; they might stop smoking weed, but they'll continue smoking, being hooked on the nicotine.
Anyways, bit rambly there, thanks again and cheers
very illuminating post, thanks for all of it.
I'm trying to understand my weed consumption better, and how it might be related to my a(u?)dhd. I've heard many with adhd self-medicate with weed for the stimulation, is that right? Have you written about weed and audhd before or do you have any resources you think are worthwhile? It just doesn't seem to have the same effect with me than with more allistic people, or at least it seems that way to me - and I'm curious about the connection there, if there is any; especially the differences in adhd+weed and audhd+weed.
If you have any experiences or third-hand knowledge to share there, I'd be greatly appreciative. If not, that's fine too, I've learned a lot already from your posts; so thank you again.
you can fit way more stairs this way
it's real but it was hackers commandeering the projectors
edit: or maybe not, I bothered looking up a Berlin newspaper article talking about it, and apparently it's a screengrab from a fake video. The two cop cars under the gate do look fishy / duplicated
Last of Us was good
Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)
this just reminded me, amazon is still doing that Disco Elysium show I believe
How dare you, dithering is the People's Blur
I'm pretty happy with Podcini, it's FOSS and does all I need
Also supports importing lists of podcasts, though I'm not sure it does patreon feeds at all, you'd have to check
I'm gonna miss them and I hope this wasn't the last we've heard from them... Kyle already mentioned he may be on the other emancipation network shows on occasion and I'm looking forward to that. Hope for June the job's worth it, sounds like a stressful gig but all the best with that too.
I really am gonna miss em tho
oh no, what's this now...
are they really ending it, I gotta listen
I definitely wouldn't recommend smoking in that case, but vaping you could try if you make sure the vape is not getting too hot. If you do vaping right it's basically warm, spicy mist - still may make you cough, but could be manageable if you're careful. The effect is a lot more immediate from vaping, is the only reason I'd at least consider it in your case. You can also try ingesting it orally for a slower uptake, though I'm not sure what a good dosage or way would be for you. Can't really OD on CBD though, so don't stress it too much. If you go that way just beware, there are a lot of snakeoil products out there with CBD. I'd try going for a basic oil extract from a reputable vendor that ideally also sells whole flower, that should give you a pure, reliable, versatile solution for oral ingestion. You could put it on food or even bake with it (I think), take it any way you would ingest oil. Alternatively, you can solve it in alcohol, but I don't think that's a great idea for your use case.
There's probably also CBD in pill form some way or other, I'm sure
have you heard of medical marijuana
could probably unironically help you reduce your dosage but don't expect miracles obviously. Try vaping some herb, maybe it helps. If you don't wanna get high, try pure CBD strains.
due to a clerical error, currently LSD derivatives are legal in Germany
Had a fun couple of nature walks and can definitely recommend (though I've only had pretty low doses so far, nowhere near an actual, proper trip)
lemons are great for this. You don't need all of it, just the skin. press the lemon and enjoy the juice, put the skins on the glass rack and you'll have a fresh lemon flavor when opening the door. needs replacing every other wash or so (they get hard and stop smelling)
in addition to just getting off earlier, you can also try to filter some of the blue light / glare from your screens towards the evening. The most popular sunset simulation redshift thingy is probably flux and I recommend giving it a shot. Might help you get tired more easily
It's not a magic bullet or anything, but I find it relaxing for my eyes at least and it might help your sleep too
If the Ukraine war has taught me anything, it's that you can drone people for a few hundred bucks now.
Learn to hack, learn to quadcopter
Like, get really into FPV racing or something, of course
