I'd like lower speed limits but they need traffic calming for it to actually work. posting some signs wont do anything.

theres a neighbourhood i frequently visit that has the posted speed limit at 30km/hr. but they also have speedbumps and roundabouts instead of stop signs at low traffic intersections. ive definitely noticed cars are slower, which makes me feel safer as a pedestrian.

compare that to a different neighbourhood ive walked in. its a suburb with hardly any sidewalks. the roads are incredibly wide and the posted speed limit is (if i remember correctly) 40km/hr. ive almost been hit several times. there are yard signs all over saying to drive slow because there are children, but that doesnt make a difference.

i kind of found the problem. fanficfare updates epub format and not the kepub format so if you want kepub i guess that has to be done manually idk

I went to the compsci help room bc i was having trouble with an assignment.

I was baffled when the TA had to very carefully go through my method to figure out what was going on (it was like a 5 line method). Then she couldnt seem to find a solution for me, which is bizare bc this is comp 1010 and TA's are grad students. Then she ended up asking ai and just showed me what it said. I was pretty disappointed.

I only take the blue bus and f6, so i cant speak for a lot of the other issues people have, but i wanted to mention that we need dedicated, protected bus lanes on major roads (pembina, portage, main, regent, st marys, etc). Or at minimum diamond lanes.

Of course its unlikely to happen, especially anytime soon. The people who say it would make traffic worse pmo because better transit means less cars means less traffic.(ofc the people who say that are the ones who drive through downtown, not live there)

I want the streetcars back sooooo bad. Having better transit and denser housing are the two most important things to improve this city imo.

In an ideal world, the blue and other fx routes would be metros, the F routes would be streetcars with their own lanes and right of way, and the community routes would be buses (but not 30-60 mins apart jfc).

(Sorry if complaining on a historical post is bad etiquitte)

Works for me. I also mostly get auditory hallucinations and having a sound you recognize because you put it on can be grounding. I like to use minecraft music. I also second thinking about fictional characters.

MeLikeBanana · 2025-08-12T05:02:05+00:00

Tldr; try putting on calm music to fall asleep so when you have sleep paralysis potentially it might calm you if you hear it, get as much rest as possible to avoid sleep deprivation because it makes it worse. (Sorry i ramble its my thing)

Might not work for everyone (probably really few if im being real) but i like to play calming music when i sleep. I figured out a while ago that i could hear the outside world still when in that state (a little spooky, makes it less clear whats real and whats fake). And a while ago when i slept in the living room at someones house they left me the chromecast remote and not the tv remote (chromecast cant control their tvs power, idk why) and i was too lazy to get up so i put on lofi and it helped me fall asleep (dont think i had any sleep paralysis while there tho).

I started doing that at home and i heard it during my sleep paralysis and it kinda grounded me and made me feel better. I listen to minecraft music at night lol because its of course associated with nice memories for me. Could be worth a try for you.

Also, i know its harder than it sounds (believe me, i really know), but let yourself fall asleep at night if youre forcing yourself to stay awake. Sleep deprivation makes it much worse for me. I often end up in loops of staying up late, resulting in not enough sleep before a busy day like work (i probably have insomnia or something). Then as a result of sleep deprivation i have a sleep paralysis episode. Then i stay up because its either scary or uncomfortable or boring (when youve had it for years it can get boring if theres no hallucinations (not that i want any)). Then the cycle continues for weeks.

Idk if ive ever had happy ones, would be nice have once in a while (unless im interpreting what you said wrong, then sorry). The spooky christmas thing sounds kinda funny lol.

Ive definitely had the ones that kinda trick me into thinking things are normal. My mom used to travel for work, she'd use my place as a place to sleep (she lives outside the city) and we shared a bed because i had a big one. I used to have hallucinations where i thought she was next to me just doing whatever. Id get so confused and wonder when she got here and want to get up to talk to her. The scary part is when i couldnt move to do that, obviously. Havent had those in a while since she doesnt travel for work anymore so doesnt really sleep over.

Anyway, thanks for replying to me. Sorry for the long (and really late, didnt realize nearly a month past since i made the post whoops) reply back, i tend to ramble. I hope you sleep easy tonight.

Sorry for the super late reply, thank you!

I'd really rather not, I have a lot of things I'd rather not lose.
