A part of me thinks the people who claim to see the "hat man" just have a subconscious fear of shadowy men wearing hats due to old film noir movies and westerns being deeply ingrained on the cultural psyche.
I had a couple incidents with these guys. It's sleep paralysis. It is weird that people commonly see the hat thing though. I had never heard of this when I first had it happen and it scared the poo poo out of me.

Yaldabaoth posted:

See, I can understand people seeing generic shadowy figures but the hat man specifically feels like it must be due to some sort of cultural influence.
Oh I absolutely agree, that's why it's interesting to me. I don't know where that came from in myself but it was definitely what I saw, and as I said it was before I ever heard of these things (so far as I remember). It was pre-Internet time or just around AOL starting but I doubt we had it yet.

Edit: Later, when I did see it online and realized it was a sort-of common hallucination thing I was intrigued. At the time I thought maybe I had seen an actual demon of some kind--that people were seeing the same thing because it was REAL--but I was dumb about a lot of stuff then.

I have been trying to re-find the news article I read maybe 15 years ago that talked about how all the candy companies were no longer going to make new candies and they were just going to give the same candies slight flavor changes or make their candies flavored like other branded candies. I remember it using an example of some big new candy rollout that had just happened and saying that may be one of the last times you see an entirely new candy bar enter the market because you do not need to spend any money on marketing if you just plop a new flavor of the old thing next to the old thing.

Terrifyingly this is exactly what has happened and I indeed cannot think of the last time an entirely new candy appeared

All this and they still have not brought back the best gas station treat in history, P. B. Max
Last new candy bar I remember is the Take 5 bar. The delicious Take 5 bar.

Rosemond has received criticism for his recommendations on toilet training[3] and spanking[4] because they contradict other parenting experts' recommendations as well as the official evidence-based policy of the American Psychological Association.[5] Rosemond's statements on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder also have been criticized for being inaccurate;[6] Rosemond says the disorder does not exist.[7]

In 1992, Rosemond wrote a column in which he stated that an 18-month-old girl who had been sexually abused on one occasion by a non-family member (babysitter) was unlikely to ever remember the event; therefore, therapy was not called for.
Seems like a real great guy. We are fortunate such a man has a nationally syndicated column on parenting.

I wore contact lenses for >10 years and I never forgot I had them on, mainly because when I took them off I was blind AF. "Oh I can see? Must have my contacts in. Better remove them before bedtime."

Stacking them sounds insane.
When I first got contacts at around 12 I wasn’t used to them and quickly ‘lost’ a couple in one eye. That eye was a little irritated but I figured that’s just because I had to get used to the contacts. One day I was rubbing that eye and one popped out of the corner. So I went to a mirror and held my eyelids open and looked and there was the other one tucked in back there. While rubbing my eyes they apparently had made their way back there and I thought I had lost them, but it turns out I had three contacts in that eye, with only one where it belonged.

I used to live in Springfield, Virginia (outside DC), and I had a roommate who lived with me and also worked in Springfield, but on the other side of town. He didn't have a car, so he had to bus it to work every day. To do so, he'd have to take a bus from near our place in Springfield, out to the Pentagon in Arlington (where there is a hub I guess), and then catch another bus back to Springfield. There was no bus that just took you across.

Eventually, he worked out a deal with this neighbor who worked at the Pentagon that he would give him a ride up there in the morning so he could use the HOV lanes. I don't think they had an afternoon deal though.

A weird system developed around this HOV-pickup thing in the DC suburbs where people gather in certain places, like an empty parking lot for a defunct store, and line up waiting for someone to pick them up to take HOV lanes to the Pentagon or into DC or whatever. It's called 'slugging' for some reason. It seems to have just naturally evolved on its own, which is pretty neat I think.

We used to take those ashtrays for home use.

Having grown up in Virginia, I never thought they would ban smoking entirely in restaurants and bars, but they did about 15 years ago. The pool hall I frequented built a glass-enclosed smoking room right in the middle of the place. Later they took the thing down and moved it to the front of the place at one of the exits and that became the non-smoking section and you could smoke in the rest of the pool hall. There were a few places that tried to get tricky like that but I imagine that's kind of died down now.

People seem to feel free to vape pretty much everywhere now and I think a lot fewer people are taking up smoking and instead doing that but that's anecdotal.

The last office I worked at that had indoor smoking was the NRA HQ. I temped there for a week or so in probably the 90s and there was a smoking lounge that looked like it used to be a kitchen/break-room. It was small and quite packed a lot of the time.

Ugh, I've realised as an adult that that was my house growing up. My parents smoked inside for the best part of 40 years. I was probably that weird smelling kid at school, but never realised it.

My wife refuses to sleep in that house, even though my mum no longer smokes (lung cancer) and she deep cleaned the house. You can't just wash that smell out.
It’s in the carpets. It’s in the walls. It’s in every nook and cranny. I remember moving out of the last place I lived where I smoked and seeing the change in color for the carpet and wall when I would remove something that was covering them was pretty alarming. That poo poo was what was going in my lungs.
