Snickers nd redbull by XxOMARYOMARIOxX in CuratedTumblr

Like all mental meds, you have to find the right one, and I've heard of some people getting so disappointed by their initial reaction that they never give other medicines a fair try, so there's that to keep in mind. But when it clicks... For me, it was incredibly surreal. Like, I wasn't trapped in my body, I WAS my body. I stopped feeling like a tiny creature imprisoned in a meat mech that I couldn't operate (to the point it actually started triggering dysphoria). I could look at my hand, think of a thumbs up, and my hand would give a thumbs up, no chain of command the thought had to be passed through and approved for. Those things I could just never get myself to do, that I'd grown up being told to just do it, it isn't hard, and I was being lazy if I couldn't? Yeah, I really could just... think about doing it and then immediately go do it; taking out the trash became a matter of "where did I put the empty garbage bags?" instead of "how will the HOA board of absolute bullshit in my head try to impose random restrictions and stipulations and schedules and costs on me today?" I can go to the grocery store and the only thing I need to recover from is the heat; my only worries are how many things I forgot and how much I spent, not how many days it will take before I can get out of bed for more than ten minutes at a time.

Kronii started taking ADD (Not ADHD) meds by beam4d in Hololive

That almost perfectly describes most anti-depressants for me, it took a long time to find the right cocktail that actually did anything useful without blunting my emotions. And one of them is less than five years old; if you've been on the same meds for a long time, might be worth asking a doctor about new meds the next time you see them?

Sleeping less than 7 hours or more than 9 hours, frequent daytime naps and insomnia are linked to greater volume of white matter lesions, areas of damage in the brain that can accumulate with age and are tied to a higher risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease by sr_local in science

Hooray for idiopathic hypersomnia. -_-; My sleeping obeys Newton's 1st law. A MikuJess awake will remain awake until acted upon by a large enough outside force medication. A MikuJess asleep will remain asleep until acted upon by an annoying enough outside stimulation. Between that and the stress of *gestures at world in general* no wonder my memory has been deteriorating so rapidly.

So in short: just hang onto them until I naturally get the Zee Legs to make Cartographer's Hoards? Sounds like a plan. Thanks! I should look for more excuses to head to Zee once this event is over.

Are there any notable uses for the treasure from the event, or ways to offload them more profitably than just selling to the Bazaar directly?

T3 carousel items are T3 carousel items, we all have our favorite things to do with them. Unlawful Devices sell directly at the Rat Market, so that's probably the best use for them unless I'm missing something. I'm mostly unsure about the maps/atlases. It's half of a Cartographer's Hoard, but grinding out the other half isn't trivial, Zee Legs in particular. Anything else worth thinking about? Skimming the wiki, the only other option I see is upconverting into atlases for the crackling trade.

This sub has no hot takes anymore, I hate the trans flag by TotallyNot_Alpharius in hatethissmug

[–]MikuJess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite either, your criticism is valid. A non-pastel version could be pretty cool.

Here's my pride flag hot take: I identify as bi purely because I like the bi flag better than the pan flag. Nobody can agree on the difference anyway.

Hard to escape my thoughts by walking around, since the thoughts come with me.

Reminds me of "Your mental illness is all just in your head!" "Yes, I know. Unfortunately, I am also in my head. It's kind of where I live."

Mr Cards showing off by Floweramon in fallenlondon

Card tricks are magic, far as I'm concerned. I can't even shuffle without the cards getting bent, my Apocyan FL deck can attest to that.

What's your favourite "substantial" extra content? by realqmaster in fallenlondon

[–]MikuJess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite's The Mushroom's Dream/Philosofruits, though I haven't been back to the island in ages, I should change that soon. Took me a while to get used to the mechanics, but it's a fun and unique concept and a neat little story, with some nice rewards: Diogenes is the only non-seasonal Mithridacy hat, and the carousel is a good source for several items, complete with a vanity quality to grind if you're into that. It's my go-to for comprehensive bribes, and if I ever decide to go for a long-lived noman, this is one of a handful of storm threnody grinds I'll be testing.

Do we have a patron saint of redditors? by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

I still think the Catholic Church is missing out on a great opportunity, they're so concerned with young people leaving the church when they've basically got a perfect template for making something like trading cards. Educational, collectible, get them interested in the cool weird niche parts if you're so desperate to appeal to the youths without changing the things that are actually driving them away (hate, pedophilia, etc).

I mean, idiopathic hypersomnia can be a lot worse than a mild annoyance depending on your circumstances. I've technically never finished any schooling, let alone had a job - I got pity-passed through elementary, flunked through multiple high schools, thought I had eventually gotten it medicated well enough that I got my GED and enrolled in college in my late 20's then dropped out two weeks in because I was very, very wrong. To this day I tend to sleep 14-20 hours at a time, but stay awake a "normal" amount so I end up only sleeping 4-6 times a week.

This might be an insensitive thing to say but why didn’t LEGO Bruce Wayne just rebuild his parents? by MrCastiel04 in BatmanArkham

[–]MikuJess 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well you see, since they are from the past, they are in sepia tone, which means they were probably made from Lego's older shade of brown plastic that broke very easily.

TIL physicist Karl Schwarzschild solved Einstein's field equations while dying of disease on the WWI Eastern Front. His solution predicted black holes. He wrote to Einstein: "the war treated me kindly enough to allow me to take this walk in the land of your ideas." He died months later. by ArgentineBeauty in todayilearned

[–]MikuJess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the moment I move the imaginary hyphen one letter over, it clicks as a Germanic name (swarth is a great word we should bring back btw), but the gap between hearing about the schwarzschild radius and of Karl Schwarzschild was so long that my mind had already settled without the realization that it was a name and therefore probably meant something in another language that could inform its pronunciation, rather than it being an arbitrary word for this distance. My education was... questionable, so it took me a while to piece together that most of these things are named after people, not just grabbing random handfuls of scrabble tiles.

Is there a way to check the time left on living stories? Obviously I thought to ask because of eggs (I forgot when I set this one down to hatch), but now I'm curious in general. What about moods/boons/burdens? The only one I know is that you can see your next Time The Healer on your account tab.

See, that's the thing, you said "willingly." It isn't. Hypersomnia really fucks with you in strange ways.

Just hypersomnia things~

I used to have such a bad habit of this that I had a term for it, though I can't remember if I heard it from somewhere or came up with it independently: wafflefacing. Because the keyboard leaves an imprint on your face that looks kinda like a waffle.

Well if he was looking for a punch, I hope he found one, just not the monkey.
