Hey, Drew Mac. Before the last one was closed, you said that you didn't see my post and I was going to apologize for inadvertently being a giant rear end in a top hat but the thread closed and I felt weird PMing you about it, so hi! I'm sorry! I was a jerk!

Is there a way to minimize the chances of having bad dreams? I've been having them pretty constantly lately and I'm sick of it. Also hi friends. I wasn't around for the last thing but it must have been pretty bad.

Prazosin.

I fuckin love prazosin

Me too. I'm on a dose that most doctors find, quote, troubling. But even combined with the other meds I'm on, which are also supposed to make you feel faint, I don't experience that side-effect at all. Even when drinking.

I still have nightmares all night every night, but in the bad old days I was only getting a couple of hours of sleep (nonconsecutive) spread out over about ten hours in bed, and now I can actually get up to like six or seven nonconsecutive hours and can, often, fall asleep after I wake up from the nightmares.

poo poo was life-changing and cut my alcohol use from straight-up abusing the stuff to fall asleep down to a more normal level.

I've been on the wait list to see an adult autism specialist for over a year and I really want that appointment to go through soon because since 1993, people have been accusing me online of taking positions I don't believe and arguing them and I can't even begin to wonder why anybody would ever do that and it's clear they're projecting and that's thing one on a list of a million things I can't understand about ways people behave.

I was born three months premature and was deaf through my early childhood and god drat do I wish I had those development times back because poo poo geta super confusing.

I really don't get the vitriol about Rise of Skywalker.

Except for doing Rose dirty and dropping Johnson's whole thing of "you don't have to be born important to become so" in favor of "the whole galaxy is three families and like four small towns."

I bought myself Bloodstained on Steam for Christmas and there's this horrible bug where any time Miriam (and only Miriam) has dialog of any kind or does combat cries, it sounds like radio static and stutters the game. It's game-ruining, was a day 1 bug, and hasn't been fixed.

Super disappointing.

Recommend me a Dick book.

Coming up on my list is some William Gibson. I have shamefully never read even Neuromancer

Galactic Pot Healer.

I got halfway through Neuromancer and never got comfortable with the nonsense words, and finally there was a sentence whose every part was nonsense. "We took the highjow to the hoopaw and kijowed the heehoo" or some shuch poo poo and I threw the book across the room and never picked it up again.

Granted, I was in highschool at the time so this was over 20 years ago.

A a former giant fan of RedLetterMedia, I have come to the conclusion that they've convinced an entire generation of angry men that not liking things and being really angry about it is a meaningful replacement for having a personality and we're all worse off for it.

Pay attention to how often people bring up how they hate a Star War when loving nobody else was talking about it.

WatermelonGun posted:

have you considered that you, yourself, are also often angry about star wars on the internet

Yes, and that's a big part of how I arrived at this conclusion, because I liked a thing everybody told me not to because women suddenly mattered and it infuriated people. That's more of an answer than your bad-faith-actin' rear end deserved. I hope you become happy at some point.

Now leave me alone, please.

I wanna get into photography. My partner has a nice Canon camera. I've literally never touched one but I was big into filmmaking in college and miss tinkering around with cameras and editing software. If it recorded video like the ones my old TV Production club buddies have I'd consider getting back into that as well.

gently caress yeah! Have fun! I keep not practicing long enough that I have to re-learn the photographic triangle every time I shoot some poo poo, but I would be so stoked to see you post your work here!

Cheating on your partners - not good. Don't stay with them if you don't want, but be honest. Break up with them, get with the person you want to get with.

My dad cheated on my mom and it may be the single event with the biggest impact on my life for the negative. gently caress partner cheaters.

I mean, polyamory is right there. gently caress cheating.

Did they ever actually air the first episode of Firefly on Fox? I vaguely recall that they aired like the 4th episode first for some reason, a bunch more out of order and never actually got around to showing the first episode on television in its original run?

It aired last after they'd already announced the cancellation of the show.

between firefly and brooklyn nine-nine i will never understand fox's utter contempt for shows with endearing characters. its almost a miracle that bobs burgers has gone as far as it has.

The X-Files was a success on Friday nights to the point that they moved it to an actual night people watched TV in Sunday where it really broke out. They they promptly forgot they did the second part and kept trying to put other genre shows on Friday night and wondering why they all failed. Firefly, Dollhouse, Sarah Connor Chronicles... Fox is bad at its job.

So I'm closer still to my new laptop being set up but I'm noticing I'm typing at least a little bit slower. I'm hoping that that's just adjustment to the new machine and that the ergonomics to the keyboard aren't totally hosed compared to the old keyboard because boy howdy I like to be able to type things pretty quickly. I'll probably adjust, right? I mean, I used the other laptop for literally over ten years, there's probably going to be something of an adjustment period, or at least I'd like to think so.

Within like six weeks, you'll be so used to your old keyboard that if you try to use your old familiar keyboard your muscle memory won't let you because brains are weird and magic.

I guess what I'm saying is it stands to reason that I'm going to need to relearn some muscle memory for the new machine? Someone who switches laptops more often than I do would be able to speak better on this.

Yup! I used old instead of new at first and ruined my whole point.

I think that if you are the kind of person worrying about being lazy, you usually don’t need to worry about being lazy.

I expect that most of the time when you know what you want to do, nothing stops you—you just go out of your way to do it.

If you knew what you wanted, you’d do it. This might even be part of the issue: scouring your brain for whatever the solution might be. But if you knew, you’d already be doing it. That kind of scouring is its own blockage.

Let yourself not know what to do.

Holy poo poo, this is great advice!
