If you are getting night terrors/sleep paralysis, then you may want to get a sleep study. Can be a sign of Sleep Apnea or seizure disorder.

I used to get sleep paralyzed, and it did progress to seizures. One was very much like a Dante's Inferno wood cut with the circles within circles of angels & demons. Eventually it got to the point where the seizures burned out the part of my brain that caused both, so while I don't have to worry about either I am insanely retarded now.

Might wanna get checked just in case. I don't know 100% if the seizures were caused by that or a brain infection but at this point it doesn't matter.

seriously how stupid do you have to be to think this? or the only other alternative is that you think "few places" actually means like dozens and dozens of publications as varying as legacy media like the NYT, newcomers like the intercept, and random, smaller, local publications like texas monthly . or you actually don't know what investigative journalism is. it's a loving ignorant statement any way you choose to look at it.

In my experience, every company in the world has a "don't stick your dick into the secretarial pool" policy, and every company in the world ignores it. When men and women are together, they start doing stuff. If you're fairly secure at your job, go for it.

First day on the job at one of the companies I worked at we had to have a new-hire group walkthrough of our company policies. A woman immediately audily noted there was no such policy in place, then began to eyefuck every man in the toom.

I believe I've been reincarnated dozens of times and may, in fact, be immortal.

I'm not talking about stupid poo poo like past lives; I mean I've died in my current life multiple times and was always fine.

When I was 8 years old I fell into a frozen pond. Rushed to hospital but survived.

At age 14 I was playing with my dad's gun and accidentally shot myself in the chest. Rushed to hospital and survived.

Age 16 I fell off the jungle gym and woke up an hour later, magically survived.

Age 21 I got drunk and totalled my car by smashing it into the iron gate at my parent's house. Survived, despite the fact that my passenger is now paralyzed for life.

Etc etc etc up until this weekend. Went out drinking on Friday night into Saturday morning. Strong time, simple as that. Decided to double down on the fun and ended up in a super shady part of time. Long story short, a pimp ended up stabbing me in the thigh after I didn't pay one of his girls for a sub-par handy. Somehow, I survived.

I would test this by like, jumping off a building, but I'm too scared I might be wrong.

it is, now that you mention it, kind of remarkable that someone who does this many dumb things and has such a ridiculous take on them managed to survive to adulthood

quote:

I won a pretty sizable amount in the lottery a few years ago, and after taxes and taking the lump sum I ended up with a cool $113 million dollars to my name.

I quit my job and paid off all my debts and the debts of my parents and brother and his family, but otherwise live exactly the same. Well, pretty much, now I treat myself to a steak every few weeks instead of just eating hamburger. I've invested most of that money so I'm mostly living on interest and dividends.

I've dated since then, including a 10 month long relationship that was going really well. I never tell any of the girls that I'm rich. I don't really dress like a rich person, my car is a 2010 Subaru Impreza with some scratches and dents, and I don't go beyond a fancy dinner and drinks on the first date. When girls ask what I do for a living, I tell them I'm a librarian. Because it's kinda true, I volunteer at the library 3 days a week. I told the girl in the 10 month relationship about the money and that's the reason we broke up. She viewed it as me lying to her, but I never said "I'm not a millionaire". I just never mentioned it specifically. It's sad because money changes so many people so quickly.

As soon as I won that lottery I thought to myself that I'd guaranteed happiness for myself, but I'm finding that isn't strictly true. I'm hoping there's someone out there for me, but getting more and more doubtful by the month. I still love my life and I'm starting to find true joy in donating to others, but I think I may remain a millionaire bachelor forever.

Anyway, here's the real confession part, which I hope doesn't ruin a certain goon's day. I went on a date with another goon, although we didn't know it at the time. We met on OKC and had a pretty good time, but she flaked on a second date and later told me that she just didn't feel a romantic connection. Which is cool, no big issue. I was reading the online dating thread later and she specifically mentioned our date and said that I came across as someone without many job prospects in life and seemed like I'd be a financial burden and loser for my adult life. Lol whoops.

This is a very rational and good way to be rich, but the last paragraph kind of makes the rest of it come off as wish-fulfillment fic

Well, either way, sorry the date went badly. And even if you really don't need a career to survive you should probably consider having one anyway. If you don't have something to do with your life you come off to others as a deadbeat even if you're a rich deadbeat.

Holy poo poo NO, let him be, he has the means to escape the treadmill most of us are forced into.
He should find something to do with his life, maybe, but please don't advise him to go do some "career" bullshit. He isn't more of a deadbeat than most of the It-people nowadays.


(also, he might block that path for someone who isn't that well off and doesn't need it, presumably)

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I think lottogoon's approach to life is what's busted here.Volunteering for three days a week at what I'm guessing is a very easy position screams "No ambition." I know plenty of people with sufficient financial freedom to not work (mostly family wealth) and the dividing line between normal and perpetual child is whether or not they're working. It doesn't need to be a 40 hour a week slog, but it needs to show one wants to better themselves.

Lottogoon, wasting your winnings is the trap. Spending wastefully is the most obvious way into the trap, but idling forever is just as bad even more sad because you don't have the fuzzy memory of blowing 100k on a week-long cocaine binge in Vegas.

From last page but I can't believe you guys are telling that poor abduction victim "it's just sleep paralysis."


Buddy, if you're out there, I believe you. But you're making some assumptions that just aren't true - do you really think technologically advanced aliens need multiple "tracking devices" in you? Of course not - they'd only need one, right? The rest are control chips, subtly influencing your behavior, and you need to get them out before there's too many of them controlling you to let you. You'll need to be fast (the aliens don't like it when you break their stuff, even if it's in your body) so use power tools for speed.

What is wrong with all of you that you're telling lottogoon to get a job?
Why on earth would he waste time as an office drone or whatever when he has 113 million dollar in the bank? Do whatever you want, if that means chilling and volunteering in a library, go nuts.
I mean sure, I would probably travel to amazing locations all over the world if I were in the same situation. But I do know that I probably wouldn't work anymore, at least not the first years.

I dunno, I'm not surprised he's having trouble dating. The kind of people who'd be ok dating you even though they think you're a broke unemployed deadbeat usually aren't worth dating

There's middle ground between "die an unfulfilled office drone" and "spend all your time playing video games and jerking off to anime" and it doesnt surprise me that goons refuse to see that.

Richgoon, find a hobby youre super into (not video games or jerking off to anime) and start some sort of business centered around that. Think blacksmithing looks like a cool thing? Build yourself a forge and sell artsy poo poo at street fairs. Think art is neat? Go to art school and learn to paint or draw or sculpt (and plow art scene chicks). Do you really really enjoy the library? Go to school and get a library sciences degree and become an actual legit librarian. "Follow your dreams" is generally terrible advice for 18 year olds picking a major in college because medieval history degrees dont pay for themselves, but if you're sitting on 100+mil, then you dont have to worry about paying back your degree and can actually pursue what you love. You've got an opportunity the overwhelming majority of the earths population can only dream of. Use it.

This is pretty much what I was getting at when I said "get a career"

If you don't need your job to survive, and have the necessary capital to start your own business, your options really open up w/r/t having a job you actually enjoy. You don't have to join the accounts receivable department, just, gently caress, man, have something you do that you can truthfully use as your answer when your OKCupid date asks "so what do you do for a living?"
