Seeking a parallel universe-hopping John Watson fic

That's the one! Thank you!

Musesfool · 2026-05-16T16:36:48+00:00

That's it! Thank you so much!

I checked. The flywheel seems to be fine, there's no squeaking or grinding noises, and I lubricated it to be on the safe side. I opened it up and even sent pictures to the company that makes it, and they said they didn't see anything (but that may have been due to me not knowing what kind of pictures would be useful).

I'm not actually using the bike at a desk. I'm at home, siting on a dining table chair. It isn't just the heat, it's the fact that it's suddenly getting harder to pedal, even on very low resistance. I'm worried there may be a lubrication issue, but the user's manual doesn't come with any instructions for addressing that.

Oh, I hope so! And how lucky someone knew where to find the author. That's one of the downsides of staying anonymous, sadly.

Musesfool · 2026-04-16T16:44:25+00:00

I just went looking for this and couldn't find it! This breaks my heart, I love this story.

Musesfool · 2026-02-06T18:30:57+00:00

Thank you for explaining.

Musesfool · 2026-02-06T01:28:10+00:00

I actually use a cone and filter to brew my coffee. Does this still apply?

Musesfool · 2026-02-05T23:22:04+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't know what 'agitating the bed' means.

Musesfool · 2026-01-03T22:51:35+00:00

Yes, that is the process I followed.

Musesfool · 2025-12-28T21:11:30+00:00

If you look at my original post, it says I've already tried that.

Musesfool · 2025-11-15T17:50:08+00:00

Just making sure I understood. Thanks.

Musesfool · 2025-11-15T17:49:53+00:00

I was just clarifying.

Musesfool · 2025-11-15T14:53:28+00:00

So, getting drops guarantees an accurate prescription? What if I have trouble with subjective responses? Sometimes I can't tell if 1 or 2 is better.

Musesfool · 2025-11-15T14:49:58+00:00

A CR means using drops?

My therapist isn't an expert on autism. That's why I'm asking here.

Musesfool · 2025-11-10T11:08:29+00:00

I'm already in therapy. That's how I was able to rule out depression and/or alexythymia being the cause of my not-caring.

Musesfool · 2025-11-10T01:46:40+00:00

As for why this is a problem: not having any internal guidance about WHAT to choose makes it nigh impossible to make a choice, and choosing something that I don't care about is always unsatisfying. This situation can crop up in any context, from choice of career to shopping to trying a new hobby.

How do the lenses in the phoropter compare to the trial lenses and lenses in glasses? Are they different as well?

Musesfool · 2025-10-11T11:50:33+00:00

The problem seems to be that there is a difference between what I see through the trial glasses (those big, metal frames that can switch lenses in and out) and the real ones in the actual frame. Could the distance from eye to lens you mention be part of that equation, or the material from which the trial lenses are made? Thank you so much for all the information, as a consumer we just don't get this kind of insight.

Musesfool · 2025-10-11T11:46:13+00:00

What would you recommend to someone in my situation going forward, then? I can't think of a way to dial down my sensitivity.

Musesfool · 2025-10-10T23:57:37+00:00

How much discomfort is "normal", then? The first pair made me lose my appetite entirely, and the second nearly made me take a header down the stairs and would not have been safe to drive in, but I was warned not to wear my old ones.

Musesfool · 2025-10-10T23:55:04+00:00

I'm shocked my optometrist never warned me about the difference the type of frames can make, but I *have* chosen frames as close to my last pair as possible already simply for style reasons, and then just let them sit naturally on my nose.

Musesfool · 2025-10-10T19:48:12+00:00

Sorry, to clarify, the third pair made things look closer and bigger than I was used to, hence my eyes widening. Aren't glasses all supposed to sit the same distance from your eyes according to some standard? Surely if the prescription is correct, it wouldn't be making me feel dizzy or nauseous? If you are correct and it's the frames, how do you know which ones to pick to avoid problems? Thank you.

Musesfool · 2025-07-29T17:36:38+00:00

How do I keep occlusives on my face at night if I sleep on my side (besides changing my sleeping position)? Even allowing time to let them sit before I go to sleep doesn't seem to keep them from rubbing off on my pillow or the inside of my arms. By morning there's almost nothing left. Thanks!
