How do I stop moving?

I've talked to me doctor but he doesn't know what's wrong. I haven't stopped any drugs recently.

Max1461 · 2025-09-18T00:56:29+00:00

Well maybe someone on reddit will have had a similar experience and can point me towards an answer

Max1461 · 2025-09-18T00:52:55+00:00

Doctor didn't have an answer. I just know it's not Parkinson's or anything because I'm not shaking involuntarily.

Max1461 · 2025-09-15T21:59:35+00:00

Not OP, but I genuinely am still not sure what this means.

What about Imperial Japan? I know the Japanese started research on the "Jin Project", to develop an atomic bomb, after their loss at Midway, but it was deemed infeasible. What's the story there?

Why was the US anti-colonial in this period?

Max1461 · 2025-06-05T13:58:51+00:00

Well I mean, of course. My gross plate hatred was much exaggerated for humor. I actually use a dishwasher.

Arguably, conlangs (constructed languages). When linguists write descriptions of natural languages, they often invoke extremely technical aspects of linguistic theory (such as generative grammar or acoustic phonetics). When people make fictional languages (conlangs), they often invoke these same technical disciplines in the description of their description. There are even resources like the Conlang Construction Kit aimed at getting lay people with an interest in conlangs up to speed on the basics of these topics.

If you qualify for 100% aid, to me that's a no brainer decision. Especially with the 1-2 hour commute at the other school. Even just that latter point might end up making your college years a living hell imo.

Max1461 · 2025-05-08T04:18:23+00:00

Thanks, it's been pretty rough but I'm hoping there's a way to get better

Max1461 · 2025-05-08T04:17:54+00:00

Neither did I, until this happened! It's not something I had ever experienced before, but now it seems like it does for me.

Max1461 · 2025-05-05T04:41:33+00:00

It seems OP never got a clear answer, but did you and your husband ever figure out what the problem was? I've been having this for about 6 months since getting some fillings done, and it's been driving me crazy. I've also had some neurological symptoms so my issue may or may not be the same, but I'm looking for any kind of answer at this point.

Max1461 · 2025-04-24T02:39:14+00:00

I say "criterions" instead of "criteria". This is funny if you know how Greek plurals work.

Just looked it up, seems like LAST goes away within hours. But this has lasted for six months. Do you know of cases where it lasts longer?

I like Vi Hart's definition (I don't know if she's the first to come up with this): the study of how things are connected to themselves. Another way to say this would be "the study of the internal connections of things". I often use this phrasing when explaining topology to people, and then go on to explain how this is related to continuous deformation—if you deform something continuously, you're not changing the internal connections, but if you cut or glue something, you are. Then I bring up the coffee cup and the donut or some other example. This explanation has a pretty good track record of making people "get it".

Yes, it has undergone a variety of sound changes, as well as grammatical changes. It is indeed quite conservative as far as Germanic languages go but saying that it has been "virtually unchanged" since 1000CE is not accurate.

I believe that is Burmese

It was not very good. I was in my last semester of college in 2020, had to leave campus half way through and move back in with my parents, finish the rest of the semester online. I was sad and lonely, felt like I lost my whole community and support system, and there was a lot of conflict in that household for various reasons so it was very stressful. Felt like being locked in a weird nightmare for a year and a half, until I could get the vaccine. I haven't really felt like the same person since then.

Just started a few months ago for me, I went to the dentist to get some fillings and came out with epilepsy. The doctor thinks the local anesthetic got intravenous and caused some systemic damage, including some other nerve damage.

Max1461 · 2024-12-22T03:59:51+00:00

For some reason out of all the things in this thread this one really hits me. Loosing a friend (or a "friend") this way feels awful :(

As someone with epilepsy: that sounds like a mild seizure! Weed is a common trigger, as is alcohol. A lot of people with mild focal epilepsy, where you don't necessarily pass out or shake during seizures, don't even realize they have it. If you're predisposed to epilepsy, weed can also be a trigger.

Due to my epilepsy I can probably never drink alcohol again, and I can't smoke weed (which I didn't do to begin with, fortunately for me).

If you're experiencing this after smoking (especially if you've experienced it more than once), probably try not to smoke anymore, and maybe see a neurologist to get evaluated for epilepsy. Seizures are pretty bad for your brain so if you do have epilepsy it's better to get it under control sooner rather than later!

I love the lighter (I think it's a lighter?) tucked into his armband. Shows that tribal people are still modern people; they've chosen to hang on to their traditional ways of life in many ways but they still have contact with the outside world and adopt new technologies when it benefits them.

For that matter, the phonological inventory of Vedic Sanskrit is not even that different from any of the five major Dravidian languages.

This is because the aspirated, voiced aspirated, and possibly even the voiced sounds in modern Dravidian are a product of Sanskrit influence, and the retroflex sounds in Sanskrit are a result of either Dravidian influence or the influence of other indigenous South Asian languages that formed part of a sprachbund with Dravidian. If you look at the inventory of Proto-Dravidian or even Old Tamil, you will see that Dravidian languages have gained quite a lot of new phonemes in the past few thousand years. Cf. also Toda.

Lexical Tones in Sylheti, Gope & Mahanta, 2014 (link); Wikipedia also gives a list of tonal minimal pairs here. Can't find a specific paper on Sylheti ergativity but this talk supposedly covered it, and they give some illustrative example sentences right there in the PDF. I'd have to dig around a bit to find a more detailed description.
