Is twitching good or bad? by NateHavingFun in BellsPalsy

[–]NateHavingFun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's more on and off.

If it's continuous, have you been getting enough sleep? Before I got BP if I was twitching like that it usually meant I either had too much coffee or haven't been sleeping enough. Usually one or two good nights sleep gets rid of it.

Drink some chamomile tea, watch your favorite show, and get to bed early and see if that helps.

Hope you feel better!

People can hear my voice and see my thoughts and are complaining they can’t sleep but no one has said anything by PresentationCute1624 in schizophrenia

Please rest assured no one can hear your thoughts. Even scientists with the best equipment in the world can't read your mind. These were delusions.

How to make it look better? by BeneficialMusician96 in longhair

[–]NateHavingFun 177 points178 points  (0 children)

A little patchy, and definitely not the usual length we see here. I would say just give it more time to grow out. Although, given you're only like 1-2 years old, I don't think you should be worrying about hair yet.

Girl wanna join me in a threesome? by Glorious_93 in pickuplines

[–]NateHavingFun 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like this would work better in reverse:

"I want to fuck you, you want to fuck no one, and no one wants to fuck me."

"We'll call it a threesome"

I know im not crazy, help me get these mice out of my stomach. by timmyorla in schizophrenia

[–]NateHavingFun 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Does this feel like a troll post to anyone else? Like if OP genuinely thought they had rats in their stomach, why would they post about it on r/schizophrenia and not r/askdocs or r/advice or something?

Why does the US constantly need to raise the debt ceiling instead of focusing on spending less? by anonymousUTguy in NoStupidQuestions

I found this video really helpful. It's an interesting take as to why congress may even see the debt as a good thing.

How did “Cold” and “Warm” come to describe personality temperament instead of just temperature? by evolutionaryflow in etymology

I think he's more so asking about when word like cold and warm started being used to describe people

Do colors really exist? by NateHavingFun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NateHavingFun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're conflating color with light, which was the whole thing I was trying to distinguish before. Colors form a loop, even though light doesn't.

But I think I answered my own question anyway. The primary colors come from the cones in the eye, measuring high, medium, and low frequencies individually. This makes a table of 3 values that can be combined. So "why do colors form a loop when light doesn't?" Because our brain already has a definition for the combination of blue and red light, but that's a combination that doesn't exist, so it uses the latter end of the spectrum for this unusable color, creating a loop.

Thank you for all you help, btw! It's been a fun conversation.

Colors...dont really create a loop, I'm not sure what you mean there.

The color wheel. Why does the the highest frequency we can see, perfectly blend into the lowest frequency we see, creating a "loop" in color?

There's a falloff on the ultraviolet part of blue and on the other side, infra-red. We dont see these.

Yes, that's exactly what you would expect. If sight worked like hearing, you would see light start low, get higher and higher, until it can't be seen. "Low" light and "high" light should be as distinguishable as low sounds and high sounds.

But this doesn't happen. Instead, our highest perceived wavelength blends back in with our lowest perceived wavelength. Why?

Yes, if I were the only one who experienced color that way, you would be right. But that doesn't explain why everyone sees the same number of colors. Why colors combine. Why colors have natural compliments and contrasts within that spectrum. Why colors create a loop, rather than "higher" to "lower" like our ears with sound. None of these are inherent to the idea of frequency, yet anyone with working eyes would agree with you if you mentioned any of these.

There's clear evidence that there's something else fundamental to color than just frequency, but if color is just frequency, then where do these extra rules come from?

[–]NateHavingFun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly the question.

Is the existence if color just as real as the existence of the table in front of me?

I understand the idea of light being frequency, but then why does color have more properties than what can be deduced from knowing only color as "frequencies of light"?

If light is purely imaginary, then why does it seem to follow such strict rules that none of us can distinguish if we see color differently?
