I can’t believe the Furfly got Tuvixed with Sean O’Brien

She was a true soldier. Rest in peace 🫡

My wife has this same problem. The more people tell her to watch something, the less she’s able to. I have to get her into things by watching them on my own and luring her into the room when she’s nearby

Except they should uphold the reassociation taboo. That episode always didn’t quite work for me. That norm is more an anti-monopoly regulation than a system of oppression lol

How long have you been on these meds? Sounds to me like they’re not really helping. I felt a lot like you described before I got on my meds, but mine reduce the stress I feel, and make it easier for me to get up and act at the same time.

Try not to get so much blue on it this time!

Oh, damn, Geordi has an alternate universe padd??

I got Brandon Sanderson’s Way of Kings leather-bounds, which were definitely the most I’ve spent on a book, but my second place is more interesting.

I found a copy of a book called, Our Lost Explorers: the Jeannette Arctic Expedition, at a local used bookstore. Got it for $50, but I’ve seen it listed for way more online in similar condition. It’s the collected accounts of the crew of a ship lost in the Arctic, as well as everyone that went to look for them, and how the survivors eventually made it home (on foot). It was released in 1882, like, as it was all happening, the book is illustrated, and the cover is hand painted. My copy originally belonged to a school

This meme was made by the Tellarite ambassador

There’s a list of the people reinforcing those flawed foundations in the Epstein files

You mean it’s not normal to reach that point and then be paralyzed by the loop? 🙃

Just make sure you get back to it before another project disorganizes all your screws again

It’s a skill you can learn. If you’re into TTRPGs, I’ve found that can be a great way to practice, because the format is engaging, and the nature of the game benefits from equal contributions. I try to make characters that focus on setting up other members of the party in different ways. When we’re in combat, I try to involve other characters in tactics, and in roleplay, I make an effort to involve everyone at the table. GMing is especially good for this, as you want your party to be doing most of the talking, and you want everyone to be having fun.

As I’ve played more, and interacted in other casual social situations, I’ve definitely gotten better at filling an appropriate role in a conversation. I’m the host! It’s my job to make sure everyone is comfortable and engaged. Usually that means asking smart questions and getting people onto topics they naturally enjoy, usually to do with their own lives. Shared interests are a bonus (and often the roots of a friendship). And it’s something that I can do anywhere, even if I’m not actually hosting the gathering, because it just comes off as being genuine

I met a person like this, and married her. It’s great. I never have to worry about keeping the conversation going, and can just enjoy being with her and contributing when it’s natural for me

But someone did mention another bit of information, which I fell down a wikipedia rabbit hole on for about 2 hours! So maybe now I can read the article

Edit: I did it! I also watched two and a half YouTube videos about homesteading.

This third type describes my wife perfectly. She’s had lots of other tentative diagnoses like bpd and autism, but has still been struggling to work through it all, and find an effective combination of medications. She actually takes antipsychotics, as well as a high dose of hydroxyzine as needed in emergencies

This is what my wife does as well. She has a really hard time getting up in the morning otherwise

If the US collapses in the next decade or so, we may have our chance again. Free the Caribbean!

Depends where you lived. Not everywhere developed the same or even any methods of counting time below day/night

I’m taking 30, and my doctor told me that’s that max they can prescribe. I’m ~175lbs, and this seems like the right amount for me. I have really high tolerances to other substances, like alcohol, and caffeine, so I expected I’d need a higher dosage, and we arrived at 30 pretty quickly.

Having a smaller dose to take later in the day sounds nice. I often feel my meds wear off a few hours before bed, when I’d like to be focusing on a hobby, which I’d love their help on. I think I’ll ask my doctor about breaking up my dosage into two at my next appointment.

If 10mg feels like it’s working for you, and you think the 5mg boost will be enough, stick with it and don’t worry about comparing to other people’s dosages. For me, my meds working feels like more energy throughout the week, and more ability to focus on and start tasks that otherwise could have bored or paralyzed me. I’d recommend you focus on getting to something like that with your meds if you can, while minimizing side effects (I’ve only ever had some slightly increased emotional volotility in the first couple weeks I first started n Adderall).

A couple years ago I was a field technician for an ISP in Michigan. There was a customer connected to this terminal reporting their service down.
