I've been told that I hold a pen oddly, and the fact that my right ring finger is scarred leads me to believe that might be true.

Das Boo posted:

To borrow a phrase, "My eyes are booty cheeks." One's near-sighted, one's far-sighted, both have astigmatism. Right eye is also lazy, but only to the extent that I can make it do weird poo poo when looking in a mirror. My optometrist told me to contact her when I begin to see a grey mass in the center of my vision and we'll talk about a corneal transplant. Which would put me on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of my life, because they're still donor corneas.

My job is being an artist, lol.

Well, Adam Conover is the only person I've ever heard of who has one nearsighted eye & one farsighted eye.

If you said you had one blue eye & one dark brown eye, I wouldn't necessarily think you were Max Scherzer, but like...I'd have to ask. :shrug:

It's a dumb as hell prescription. Last I checked, I couldn't even get Lasik because "no doctor's going to touch you with a 10 foot pole. You have no good eye to fall back on."

Some of my nerves dont seem to be wired up correctly.

I have this I get some eye strain that took me forever to figure out what just I need to close my eyes and rest them and filter blue light to prevent. It feels like I have a tooth being ripping out of my head but it's floating like 6 inches outside my skull. It's a phantom I can pass my hand *through* the pain and it goes away for a second then returns. It also goes away if I close my eyes for a bit.

My immune system literally hates my guts and attacks it for no good reason. The medication I use to make it stop doing that appears to have become less effective over time. My doctor has prescribed me some new medicine that seems to work, but it's not a permanent replacement and can't be used for longer than three months.

I spent the weekend in enough pain to need oxycodon, and even things like taking a shower exhausted me.

Apparently I tempted fate by posting this. My doctor called me on tuesday to say the values of my latest bloodworks were off the chart, and told me to go to the hospital. A few short tests later and it turns out I have an abscess in a place that is difficult to drain. I'm currently hooked up to an IV line with antibiotics while awaiting surgery.

Does anyone else do that thing where they wake up and for 20/30 seconds just have no idea where they are?

Also three times now I have woken up thinking it’s still late at night and got carefully out of bed only to bump onto something and discover it’s morning and my eyes were still closed,

I remember when I was a kid I would sometimes wake up totally disoriented in the middle of the night, I saw the red digits on my dad's alarm clock and just couldn't understand where in the bed I was. These days I sometimes wake up and think I've been sleeping in my room at my parent's place and wonder why things look weird for a second. Well, sometimes, it's happened like only a few times over the course of a decade or so.

I suspect that I have Klinefelter's syndrome, but I cannot find a place to test for it in the goddamn place where I live. My PCP says the test for it is expensive, so he won't order it even though I told him I'd pay for it out of pocket if needed.

I’m used to it now and just wait it out, it’s very disconcerting if It happens when I’ve slept somewhere unfamiliar. I really feel connected to Homer Simpson when he said “Ah, the glorious 30 seconds before I remember why I’m sleeping on the couch”

I have a lot of trouble concentrating, but I neither qualify for an ADD or ADHD diagnostic, nor the meds usually taken by people with those diagnostic works for me. In fact ritalin and amphetamins don't really do anything, the latter at most makes me feel not hungry and that's the full extent of it.

I usually have to go over multiple tasks a time because I lose concentration fast on them, so if I have 4 things to do I can rotate them on each day and that makes resetting my attention to any of them a lot easier.

I'm not even talking about excel spreadsheets, I'll full on write my own programs to simulate poo poo and what not. But also, yes, excel. I loving love excel. I don't think I can fully convey how much I love excel. I like it so much someone else beat my own post to it.

I would suck at it because I use Office 2010 and there's been a shitload of commands since then that I haven't learned yet. I think I have a good grasp of it but I feel like a championship would require a lot of technical knowledge that I don't have, I just like spreadsheets.

I think path of exile because it's not trivial to solve but I usually like to solve competitive games with math

For example when I played PUBG I wrote a lot of spreadsheets and solvers for it to find optimal routes with least amount of risk. During that we fell into a problem which was defining the safest places to stay at any given point while not running at risk of ever taking damage to the blue ring, which I mathed out to find out that it was 1/(32/9π)r or 89% of the way close towards the border.



I mathed the game all the way until having the highest rank in the ladder despite having the lowest KDA among the top 100 players. I have endless examples of poo poo like this, I enjoy taking games seen as continuous and turning them into discrete pieces of data that I can math out.

This seems impossible to me. Just converting ideas into variables and then you can somehow derive meaningful relationships out of them?
