i used to do that, but i would turn my alarm off and sleepwalk back to bed, through arbitrary number of obstacles - including furniture intentionally displaced to be as annoying as gently caress come the time i reach for the phone. eventually nothing did help, so now ive settled with running an alarm clock that completely locks down my phone for 30 minutes, or until disabled. to disable the alarm clock, i have to solve a few simple mathematical tasks (like, how much is 7*13 + 8*9), rearrange a grid of numbers into an ascending order, complete a short memory card game, repeat a button pattern shown on the screen, vigorously shake my phone for a minute, and then enter a captcha.

then, five minutes later, it starts playing a barely noticeable tune on the lowest possible volume setting. if i dont swipe it down within a minute, the alarm relocks the phone and goes off from the beginning

this taught me how to do simple math subconsciously

not really insane, this setup is nearly 100% effective with respect to getting me up as planned. otherwise i just sleepwalk and turn the alarm off, or, like back in latvian dorm, sleep through the alarm going off for 45 minutes at all, until my coursemate from a different room across the corridor starts banging on my dorm room door since he slept through his alarm, but woke up to mine

i almost always sleep more than 7 hours. when i dont sleep enough, i dont hear the alarms, rather than shut them down and go back to bed. that has happened maybe once since college

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

remember when D&D branded fyad posters as "jokemen" like it was an actual insult

Washington (CNN) - Betsy DeVos, President-elect Donald Trump's education secretary nominee, said it should be up to states whether guns are allowed in schools, citing grizzly bear protection as part of her answer.

She also said she would support Trump if he moved to ban gun-free schools zones, a position he advocated on the campaign trail.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, who represents Sandy Hook, the site of the 2012 school shooting, asked DeVos if she believes guns have "any place in and around schools."

"I think that is best left to locales and states to decide," she said.

After Murphy pushed DeVos about why she can't say definitively whether they belong, DeVos brought up a story Sen. Mike Enzi told earlier about a school in Wyoming that has fences around it to protect against grizzly bears.

"I will refer back to Sen. Enzi and the school he is talking about in Wyoming. I think probably there, I would imagine there is probably a gun in a school to protect from potential grizzlies," she said.

The comment drew some laughs in the room.

As for Trump's campaign pledge to end gun free school zones, DeVos said she would support the President-elect on the issue.

"If the question is around gun violence and the results of that, please know that my heart bleeds and is broken for those families that have lost any individual due to gun violence," she said.

it was when the feminism threads here died. fyad posters started making more jokes in the thread than people liked, a long drawn out discussion about jokes and their potential harms was had, and the femthread moved to e/n because D&D simply could not handle a rational discussion of the topic for long.
