You realize, of course, that everything I say is horseshit.
The first two seasons are also on amazon prime, pirate bay has all 3.

I kinda want to play a game, is there a small game starting up soon?

I'm probably starting one next week if you're willing to wait.

I think it should probably be to the OP of this thread. Regardless of how we perceive the invitingness of the thread itself, the OP is very good and the last thread's OP is pretty much what helped me get into this community.

I have made a setup for "Ch??? in Charnaz." It is, I like it, it's elegant in its simplicity but still has that ecco twist.

I hope to come up with a suitable alliterative title before opening it when my big game finishes (which will probably be late next week/early the week after)

Soldiers games are great and I like them.

Also mafia thread I was going to go to bed earlier but I started thinking about the nature of death of felt tremendous anxiety and ended up reading about the heat death of the universe on wikipedia.

I am completely incapable of going to bed in silence because of this and pretty much always have been.

I have to have some sort of noise while going to sleep. I have youtube playlists of music and standup comedians, episodes of TV shows that I know really well like West Wing or American Dad.

If that is too stimulating and would keep you up, this site is amazing: http://asoftmurmur.com/

It's various ambient noises which you can customize to whatever ones you want and it has a timer too where it slowly fades out. It also works great on mobile so you can just put in on your phone by your bed. Also I think there's an app version.

I've found a lot of solutions in my time, because if left to my own thoughts while trying to go to sleep I will inevitably start to think about death and what it's like to be dead and not existing and will spiral myself into a panic attack of an existential crisis.

I was going to say "but summer is almost over hehehehe" but then I remember how much I loving hate when people do that dumb poo poo about Canadian things, so instead I will just say cool and I am looking forward to it.

I used to sleep with a fan a half-foot away from my face because of the white noise.

I hate silence, and I listen to a lot of podcasts to put myself to sleep. (and in general, too.)

I can now sleep in pretty much any circumstance but white noise is always a good thing imo. Unless it's somebody's lovely skype microphone.

No this is absolutely true. I'm actually about to go to bed and will put an episode of American Dad on from Netflix so that I can sleep.

Also real talk, masturbation is great as a sleep aide since you feel very tired afterwards, but I try not to use it consistently, since I don't like to be dependent on it. It's good if you absolutely cannot fall asleep though.

Yeah if I had to sleep in silence I don't know how I'd survive the summer since fans are a necessity. I don't have air conditioning and poo poo is hot. I need a fan blowing right on me during the night to keep cool.

I really hate going to sleep in silence. For most of my life I've kept music on all night with Spotify but now I'm homeless and live in a hostel I have to go to sleep in silence and it is terrible.

It also rules out the masturbation technique.

i have to turn fans off to get to sleep because they are too noisy.

also the heat death of the universe and death in general is really cool and easy to deal with, because it is inevitable and there's nothing you can do about it. So why worry about it?

So don't.


I should be a psychiatrist imo

canadian summers need a fan????

the best part about summer is not having to wear clothes or sheets to sleep and you get a light sweaty sheen that cools you off while you feel slightly damp.

ie the best feeling ever.

If you can charge your phone while still having it close to you (if you charge it overnight) then you can use some around the ear headphones which I find are comfortable enough to wear while sleeping.



I wouldn't want to wear anything bigger or earbuds to bed, but these don't really bother me since I can still sleep in any position I want.

i intensly enjoy silence it is one of life's greatest pleasures. but i put on fan or noise machine when i sleep, not because i dislike silence but because if i dont random little sounds like creaking or car driving by or whatever will wake me up constantly.

I don't have anxiety but I imagine it to be like trying to tear down a spider web but as you tear it down the spider keeps making more and more web and you're trying to tear it down but it keeps growing and growing and you need this web gone cause your parents are coming round and the flat needs to be tidy but there's still more web you're never going to clean out the web and you're still tearing and tearing but you're not getting anywhere why aren't you getting anywhere you're parents are going to think you're terrible you can't even clean out a spider's web and it's still growing and even while you thought that it grew more so you're tearing and you're tearing but it's never going away and nothing else matters but this spider web right here right now because because because tearing tearing freaking out freaking out aaaaagh.

Yeah, that would suck for anyone to go through.
