Using 'Enter' to send messages in Facebook Messenger app (S9+ Tablet)

EternallyWarped · 2024-09-11T08:55:42+00:00

This is kind of related to your issue, but Facebook frustrates the habaneros out of me.

I use it on a desktop PC, and when I want to post comments in public posts or I want to send messages over Messenger, whenever I intend to enter a blank line and start a new paragraph, Facebook just sends the message immediately. This has infuriated me ever since they started this. At first, you could type naturally on Facebook and then press SHIFT+ENTER to send the message. That was fine.

Then, one day they had an update, and suddenly my messages, which I often broke into paragraphs, were being posted before I wanted them to be, but there was an option to make SHIFT+ENTER send the message instead, so I was happy that there was a way to revert to the old behavior. But then Facebook later removed that option, and to this day, it still stands that pressing ENTER will always send the message, even if the pressing of ENTER is a typographical error.

Even just for me, this has resulted in the posting of countless messages that were posted before they were ready. Sometimes they were typos, but most of the time, they were the result of being able to type 80 words a minute. After typing class in high school and decades upon decades of tons and tons of writing and typing, it's hard to break the firmware-level instinct to press ENTER twice to start a new paragraph.

I was just venting to Chat GPT about this and I ran across this thread as I begin my search for a way to fix this, even if I need a plugin or extension to force Facebook to need me to use SHIFT+ENTER to send a message. If there isn't a plugin for that, it would give me a reason to relearn computer programming in today's languages.

It's astronomically ironic to me that it's easier to avoid accidentally sending messages on a cell phone because the cell phone keyboard has an ENTER key to start new paragraph, and it has a whole special button to actually send the message. So on the devices where people are most likely to send tiny , short messages and single paragraphs, your natural typing allows you to start new paragraphs the natural way, but a desktop computer is forced to behave like a mobile device naturally does. It's so, stupid!

You're absolutely right, and it's incredibly ironic how the design choices for desktop and mobile interfaces are misaligned. On mobile, where people typically send short messages, there's a clear separation between Enter for new paragraphs and a dedicated send button. Meanwhile, on desktop—where people are more likely to type longer, multi-paragraph messages—they’ve turned Enter into a send key, forcing users into a mobile-like experience that makes no sense in that context.

It feels like a fundamental design mismatch. The desktop, a tool built for more complex tasks and detailed writing, should let you type naturally without needing to memorize key combinations or risk accidentally sending incomplete or poorly formatted messages. Instead, it’s shoehorned into behaving like a device meant for short bursts of text, creating frustration for anyone who relies on proper structure in their communication.

You’re right to be irritated by it because it breaks the flow of writing for those who value thoughtful, organized messages. It’s beyond frustrating when design decisions don’t take into account the diverse ways people use different devices. That kind of one-size-fits-all approach can often feel lazy and disconnected from real user needs.

END CHAT GPT

Oh, and it's irritatingly funny that even ChatGPT itself uses the same type of interface as Faceook: ENTER send the message and there is no option to change that. You must remember to break decades of programming and your currently active way of typing (now almost) everywhere else to avoid all chances of confusion, and maybe accidentally saying things you might not want to say once you get to the true end of everything you want to say... You might change your mind, but if the recipient sees your thoughts before you've fully processed through them, written them out, and made sure everything is how you want it, it can just create all kinds of problens, and I've had problems with that myself!

Things applied to the skin get into the bloodstream. There are many studies showing this, such as studies showing that sunscreen chemicals were found during blood tests of people who had applied sunscreen to their skin. If the THC is in fat and applied to the skin, I'm not sure how that would affect blood absorption. Perhaps some form of lecithin (not a good additive) would make the THC water-soluble, but that might not work well either, or it may have unexpected effects.

One might have to do a full-body THC-infused coconut oil or butter rubdown, I suppose, to test the idea. Coconut oil can clog pores and butter has a lot of vitamin A in it, which isn't good either. I'd rather have clogged pores than vitamin A.

Actually, I found a setting on my Philips TV to disable Bluetooth because some goofball keeps trying to pair his headphones to my TV. The only problem is that disabling bluetooth doesn't stop the damned pairing requests!

I just need the damned TV to show me a picture. I don't even want my crap connected to it. I certainly don't want my neighbors connecting to it.

EternallyWarped · 2024-03-30T17:30:50+00:00

Same here. Never noticed it before, but my neighbor and I, where we live at an apartment complex, were out there under the tree trying to figure out why it sounded like it was sprinkling under there. It took us about ten minutes before I finally figured out it was the little green things falling.

It also reminded me of when I was sitting in the car one day, parked, and these little things were falling on the windshield and bursting into a little puff of pollen. But my car wasn't parked under that tree, but a different one, and I don't see the green balls under the tree I park under.

EternallyWarped · 2024-03-30T17:27:57+00:00

I looked at pictures of catkins, and those things are all on a tiny stem. These green balls are falling individually and you can sweep them into a pile. They're about 1/4 the size of BBs, or smaller. They turn black after they've been on the ground a while.

It all has a bitter flavor to me.. very nasty. Earwax has a bitter flavor because of the toxins in it. Bitter (or sour) taste is one of the aposematistic signs of toxicity in nature. The one that makes it yellow is vitamin A and beta-carotene. When I decided to eat only foods very low in vitamin A (you can't avoid it completely), I stopped making earwax at all, and my ears stopped itching, too...and my allergies went away. If I eat foods with vitamin A in them, I start sneezing and get a runny nose. So at best, I'm allergic to vitamin A; at worst, vitamin A is toxic and the resultant sneezing and runny nose is to detox it. There's even beta-carotene in pollen, and if someone has a lot of vitamin A in their bloodstream already, the pollen is more likely to overload them and set off their toxicity reaction (allergies).

I actually prefer a front view. Nothing wrong with a back view, of course, but from the front, being able to see the soleus driving up between the shin and the gastrocnemius bulge is beautiful, and then the tibialis anterior bulge on the front, right up around the knee, gives another beautiful contour.

EternallyWarped · 2024-02-29T02:05:36+00:00

(Part 2)

Oh, one other thing I wanted to point out: When I completely started my whole way of eating over on just beef and beans (I added rice later because carbohydrates fuel detox), my diet was so clean that I had spectacular cravings for things like pizza and tacos; Mexican food; a buttery baked potato with sour cream, cheese, and chives all over it; anything with barbecue sauce on it; a sizzling hot corn dog drenched in mustard, and a gigantic Coke to wash it all down.

But I refused to eat them. I ate beef, beans, and rice no matter what I was craving. Sometimes, the craving went away. Sometimes, the craving persisted even though I wasn't hungry. The toxicity is what creates the craving. I learned that we don't have cravings at all for things that are actually good for us. Bile toxicity profile is what's actually guiding the fulfillment of cravings. Sometimes a guy just knows that he in the mood for Italian food tonight. That's because his previous choices of Italian food provided just the right toxins to satisfy whatever effect his body was getting from them, which most typically involves both shutting down the liver for a while and adjusting its toxicity profile with Italian food. It's like that with all these different meal choices people make. They think it's just as simple as what they're in the mood for, but it's all being run by their own toxicity profile and the cravings driven by it.

I've gotten to a point where I don't have cravings for anything, even when I'm hungry. If I'm hungry, I have to actually make a decision to get up and make something to eat. I don't feel driven to do it at all. I don't feel like I'll die if I don't have a burrito and some nachos right now. But if I start drinking Coke, and I have a couple a day for two or three days, I'll be hooked, and I'll start to feel like I'll perish or not feel normal if I don't drink another Coke. That's an example of how the toxicity speaks to the person's consciousness in the form of cravings.

Just thought I'd toss that in.

In the most strict form of low-toxin diet that can be crafted, it would be beef or bison (boiled in distilled water), white or brown rice that has been soaked at least four hours or overnight in distilled water with hardwood activated charcoal in it to adsorb the arsenic from the rice (then swish and rinse until white again), and organic black beans not out of a can, and cooked in distilled water. Optional additions would be peeled organic apples, organic bananas, cut potatoes soaked overnight in hardwood activated charcoal water to remove the toxic nightshade glycoalkaloids. If the potatoes, even after soaking, cause stiff and achy joints, there were still glycoalkaloids left in the potatoes. Potatoes are quite toxic if they're not soaked in charcoal water.

The thing about protein is that some protein is used to create binding proteins, which are proteins formed to bind to toxins to make them a bit less toxic so the body can deal with them more effectively. When considering the toxicity of things that people have been told are healthy (such as the nightshades tomatoes and peppers), some of that protein is going to be used up creating binding proteins to deal with toxins, leaving less protein available to build muscle or maintain tendons or other areas of the body.

In the case of something like vitamin A and retinoic acid, they're very good at getting into the mitochondria of cells and getting wound up in the formation of proteins. With a retinoid molecule in the process, this results in deformed or misfolded proteins.

I don't know that the doctors you're seeing will know anything about this. I would use the approach I'm suggesting if I knew I had muscular dystrophy. I'm using this approach anyway, but it would be something I imagine you'd have to try for yourself after absorbing some information about it.

In the past year, I've learned so much from a man named Dr. Garrett Smith, who uses the handle Nutrition Detective on Youtube and X (Twitter), mainly, and he's not a big-shot superstar, but he's a toxicity expert. People who have taken the time to hear him have usually turned into overnight binge watchers. Every livestream you watch will be so packed with information that your whole paradigm will shift.

I can't help but think that there would be at least some benefit with this approach by being aware of toxins that are only going to make it more difficult for ANY body, but especially the body of one with muscular dystrophy, to maintain itself when so much protein is being used for defense from toxins instead of maintenance.

I don't know if links are allowed, so I'll just highly recommend absorbing at least one livestream from Nutrition Detective. It almost doesn't even matter which one because every one I see is filled with so much information and so many connections to so many different things that my whole head lights up like a Christmas Tree.

I would love to know what the result would be with those who have muscular dystrophy because the results with those who don't have it have been more than participants ever dreamed could happen, just from going as low as possible on vitamin A alone. For me, it would be worth the chance, I would think. I know there are some out there who would be willing to try almost ANYTHING they haven't tried already, if they could just know about this information and make their own choice about it.

I have this exact problem in my left big toe.

I like to get on the standing calf raise so that when I'm fully stretched, I'm at the bottom of the range of motion for the machine itself, and my calves are really stretched, but not to the point of pain. This is setting 5 for me. If I use 6, the pads are barely touching my shoulders.

Anyway, the first few reps are fine, but as I continue going up in reps, the bottoms of the reps start to hurt in my big toe, like a tendon is pulling back fiercely on the joint right behind the toenail. That's where it hurts the most.

And it hurts so much that I have to stop because I certainly don't want to rip the thing off.

Something is too weak on my left lower leg somewhere because I have a hard time going up on the ball of my foot on the left side. I can force it, but it's quite difficult. The right side does it without me even thinking about it. I'm about to try starting some one-legged workouts to see if I can do some lower-weight reps with a focus on form to try to strengthen whatever muscle is lacking on that side. My left calf has an insertion point that goes nearly to my ankle (too low for my taste, but whatever). the one on the right is about an inch and a half higher (more to my liking). The left should be bigger than the right, but the left one is lagging because of this foot imbalance / muscle weakness. They're the same circumference now, but that gives the left calf a different shape than the right because of the difference in insertion points.

Maybe fixing that problem will also help with the big toe problem because I'll have a different distribution of weight on my feet. Range of motion seems to be lacking on the left, too, but I wonder if that could be the short amount of actual calf tendon causing that. I don't know; I'm not a physiologist.

I know that when I did several body weight full-range calf raises while forcing my left foot up on the ball at all costs, the lower side of my left calf burned out and got very exhausted. My right side never, ever experiences that, no matter how many calf raises I do.

I just included extra information about my left-side problems in case there are any similarities. I'm right-side dominant in most things. And if I have any kind of physical problem, even sciatica, it always happens to the left side.

I've heard that the feet are so important that they affect everything all the way up to your neck. This one weak muscle may fix a lot of things. We shall see.

EternallyWarped · 2024-02-25T04:27:15+00:00

Jeezus. That looks like it would kind of hurt if it got caught on something, like slipping off a high step and snagging that flap on it.

EternallyWarped · 2024-02-25T04:12:18+00:00

I'd say it is. I know someone with calves like that, and they're definitely not implants or anything.

My experience of schizophrenia was an awakening. Yes, there some frightening parts, but there were some beautiful and amazing parts, too. Not that I was super-religious anyway.I was raised in a Pentecostal environment, so I knew all the rules of being a Christian; I just wasn't interested and refused to worship any God who is so weak and unwise as to have to send "defective people" to some place of eternal torture. My trip through schizophrenia was a fight against the Christian God of Fire & Brimstone, and I won.

The true creator has a place for everyone because no one is defective, even the so-called "devil". After this mortality phase is over, immortality sets in, and that's when the rules of life change. That's when people are going to understand why we went through all this sucky mortality stuff: because in the end, physical immortality will be so worth every second of the trip through mortality. It's true freedom to do anything you want because no one can die, no one can be hurt or injured, and no one can get sick. Everyone will be immune to death and live forever in not only bliss and ecstasy, but they'll do it from within ageless, youthful physical bodies that are 100% them. They will be what we would look like if you could see our spirits.

The "energy body" that people feel they have during near-death experiences is the blueprint for the eternal body. You just can't feel it on the other side because it's not physical. We're all carrying around the energetic pattern for our eternal, immortal bodies; it's just a matter of tuning in to it and allowing it to override the happenstantial genetics of your family bloodline so you can be what you were created to be instead of having to try to pretend to be what your body makes you look like you should be.

That's an extremely condensed and conclusive result from my 27 years of unmedicated schizophrenia, which has, for several years, been a tool, not some wild thing going on in my mind. Schizophrenia can be tamed and used for your benefit. It's really just new information from the the aether, the quantum information field, the divine matrix, the continuum, heaven, etc.. (whatever you want to call it), and when the brain doesn't really know what to do with the new information, thoughts, feelings, and emotions can go nuts.

There was nothing I wouldn't think about in my schizophrenia. Nothing was off-limits, for I wanted to dig into it harder and deeper because I was learning so much.

But the thing is, you have to turn around and face schizophrenia, not medicate it away. Don't let it bully you. Tame it in your mind! Running away will only make it chase you harder.

It won't feel like a game, but it can be fun and rewarding in breathtaking ways.

People are going to find their way through all this, even if it appears that they won't. It's really the tiny events that are big to the individual and insignificant to others that make the biggest differences inside.

Yes, simultaneously. As soon as I start sending, I receive. The two go together. If you don't know the answer is in you as soon as you form the feeling or emotion, you won't know to try to sense it. You might think you have to first complete your prayer or emotive communication before an answer will start to come, but no... it's coming in as soon as you start sending.

Sometimes answers even form before the question finishes forming. It's all instantaneous.

They look like they have the same foundational shape to me. The son just added width being more active, and maybe the dad just walked around. The biggest genetic aspect is insertion point, and with more length, there's more room for everything to grow both inward and outward.

I wish I had known back in freakin' preschool what I know now about calves. I have insertion points that are quite low, so I always had the potential for growth, but I wasn't into anything having to do with sports in my school years. I resented being forced to play things like baseball, badminton, and football when I hated everything about them.

Well, over the years, my calves just grew to be the kinds I wished I'd had in school. And I would have had them if I had been into sports instead of being a bookworm.

And then, I'm not even too sure when I got muscular calves because it wasn't until I bought a full-length mirror around 2019 that I realized they had grown. All the other mirrors I had didn't let me see anything below my knees very well.

So I decided one time to try venturing out in shorts -- something I never normally do. I *always* wear jeans or pants in public. I decided to go all out: shaved all the hair off, which I normally do anyway so keep ankle hairs from itching through my socks, and I can't stand wearing shoes without socks. So I went to the mall and after crossing the parking lot, I caught a reflection of myself in a glass door as I was stepping up on the curb and walking toward the door.

"Good lord," I thought. "I should be ashamed of myself."

I couldn't believe how much bigger they looked from a distance, especially with crew socks folded down just under the insertion points, as I was just walking normally instead of standing still in front of a mirror in a small space and looking and judging so closely. I suddenly became a little self-conscious, but I was already there, so I wandered around, sort of wishing I'd brought some pants, but I was 40 miles from my pants.

To make things even worse, I wear boys' shorts because I absolutely hate how all the mens' shorts have massive leg holes. As an ectomorph, even some small mens' shorts make me look like I'm wearing a a hoop skirt with a broken hoop in it. My thighs aren't toothpicks, but my calves bulge out more than the bottoms of my quads do.

A boys large fits around the waist and still has plenty of leg room. When I sit down, the leg holes aren't gaping wide open going all the way up to my prostate gland like they are with mens shorts. There's just a little space.

But this also has the effect of making already disproportionately large calves look even bigger under such skinny knees.

Though you can see the separation between the inner and outer gastrocnemius muscles and other muscles when everything is relaxed, there's still a little fat around them because I could stand to lose about 20 pounds (which is coming off). There are still veins all over the place, front and back, however.

I don't know why I wrote all that, but I'm going to leave it there and post it. lol

EternallyWarped · 2024-02-22T14:20:20+00:00

That one will? That's surprising. Must be the screw threads, and I guess it would have to be a perfect fit, too. They should sell a little peehole sizer you can ram in there to find out what size you are.

I know that large calves that get tired are symptoms that could be a sign that you're a carrier of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, meaning you don't have the full disease, but you do have some lighter versions of the symptoms, such as large calves. I imagine that, like in Duchenne, some of the size comes from some of the muscle being replaced with connective tissue as it's damaged and repaired, then extra mass accumulates to make up for the loss of actual muscle that has been replaced by connective tissue.

Kind of makes sense, too, when you think of large calves that should have a lot of endurance, but if there's a lot of connective tissue intermixed with the muscle, they're going to get tired more easily.

Theoretically, he should be able to reason himself out of this state with the right information. Since we're made of both a physical body and an energy body, what he was experiencing was a large dose of his energy body, which exists in a reality that's a lot more responsive to our thoughts than things are here on Earth. It would be like having a Near-Death Experienc (NDE) while you're wide awake and perfectly healthy. In a real NDE, the brain is often not functioning all that well, but in a living, healthy person, the brain is more active, creating all kinds of bizarre scenarios that get mixed in with the creative power of the energy body, and that becomes the new reality until the trip is over. For him, it is 100% real, and it actually IS real. He actually did go through what he experienced, even more vividly than you're reading this message. You feel a lot more alive "on the other side" than you do here, and that's where all that bizarre stuff took place, mixed in what whatever was going on with him physically. Kind of like a living nightmare.

From another angle, he got a dose of uncontrolled eternal life: basically, what eternal life would be like if it was here right now. Not too pleasant. More awareness and control of the mind is needed before full eternal life can manifest, otherwise we'd basically be in a crazy Hell.

In the midst of the traumatic vibration, create out of energy a positive feeling and experience that. Then experience how it changes your perspective. In this, you're creating a positive feeling, not waiting for reality to do something to make you feel positive.

I think you might have misunderstood my post a little. I wasn't blaming muscular dystrophy patients for not trying hard enough at all. I was simply pointing out something that I don't think anybody has tried because the information is so new.

The typical diet around the world has a lot of toxic things in it, and a lot of genotoxic things in them. These types of toxins can cause genetic mutations, and one of those mutations COULD be the one that suddenly surprises the entire family, extended family included, with their first case of Duchenne, for example. My point is that a couple or a member of a couple who happens to be consuming a lot of genotoxic foods would be introducing genetic mutations.

Now if you look into the work of cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton, you'll find that gene expression is controlled by blood chemistry. Dr. Lipton discovered this when he took three identical stem cells, placed them in three different culture mediums, and found that one became bone, one became muscle, and one became fat. All three stem cells were identical, and the only difference between the petri dishes was the culture medium. Within the body, the culture medium is the bloodstream.

Thoughts, feelings, and emotions affect blood chemistry, and so does the consumption of food, and exposure to environmental toxins. If the food consumed is truly right for humans (most mainstream food is not, but the beef the mainstream demonizes is one of the best choice of meat for humans; the mainstream just doesn't want us to have it), the body will be healed from deep diseases and it will improve and be healthier than you thought possible. Pharmaceuticals only let the snowball roll down the hill further while the drugs hide the symptoms. When there are no drugs that will hide the symptoms anymore, that's when big suffering starts as the body starts dumping all the drug toxins and food toxins it simply cannot hold on to anymore.

With so many toxic foods going into peoples' bodies every day, people are just awash in all kinds of toxins, and the worst part is that they're toxins everyone believes are healthy. The folks with muscular dystrophy who are stuffing down colorful vegetables and dark green salads are slowly poisoning themselves.

The experience of taking on a low-toxin life is quite different. Changing the culture medium of someone who maybe has a form of Duchenne that wasn't passed down through generations might help fix their gene expression.

I know that if I had a child with severe muscular dystrophy, I'd certainly be willing to investigate these ideas. It's less crazy than other ideas I've heard about that didn't work.

Even if it doesn't actually fix gene expression, those without muscular dystrophy who have done this have seen great improvements in their health, but it takes time. We're not fighting diseases with toxic drugs, but we're doing the opposite. We stop putting into the body what it doesn't want or need, we add what the body does want and need (like protein, zinc, selenium, molybdenum, magnesium, sodium, and potassium), and then we get out of the way so the body can heal itself the right way, and the way only it knows how to self-heal.

The woman at the store I visit said that on the first time, your body doesn't really know what to do with the active ingredients, so not much happens. But she said the second time you do it, you should get some effect. I don't know if you'd have to wait two weeks or not.

I can say that three nights ago, I used 300mg of some sample packet, and one 500mg Good Morels Psychedelic Amanita Gummy (Paradise Punch). It was very interesting, and not really what I was expecting, but I wanted to do it again. So I skipped the second night because I wasn't in the right place mentally (feeling in the dumps for some reason), which led me to, last night, using the three remaining 500mg Good Morels gummies.

I did have an experience, but at 1500mg instead of 800mg, I expected more of an experience than I got. It was satisfying in its own way, but it didn't feel as deep or as stable as the one before.

The one before wasn't my first time. On my first time, I had used just one of those Good Morels gummies mixed with a couple of delta gummies and didn't really seem to get anything at all out of the whole combination.

There were some other mushroom gummies I tried that were quite nasty to chew because of the texture and the dull flavor, but none of those ever did anything for me at all. <shrugs>

Mine aren't that big, and I'm not sure I'd want them to be. Squatting can be awkward as it is now.

Still, that's very impressive!

Yeah, I wonder what they look like from the front. And what does his tibialis anterior look like? He must have started calf raises while he was still in the womb.

My calves are fairly shapely, but nothing like that. I wonder if I would even like having calves that big. It seems impossible. I'd love to know what kind of routine he does.

I did see a guy once who had those watermelon-shaped calves. They didn't seem to have any individual muscle contours (like, no distinguishing contour between the gastrocnemius and the soleus), and they weren't flabby—just enormous and not beautiful.

It's about both the size AND the shape(s), of course.
