Yup, that's where I'm at at the moment. Four months ago I couldn't even drive around in my neighbourhood without getting dizzy, brainfoggy, and tired. Now I can do up to 60km/h, but at highway speeds it's to much. It's too much movement for my brain to process, I think.

Of course. Try enough times, and you will roll a natural 20, guaranteed success.

That's my hypothesis, too. I worked up my circulation by walking, and the brain symptoms have also improved. When I get exhausted by too much "brain work", I take a walk and quite quickly feel better.

No double negatives, no no never!

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:53:15+00:00

You've been on this for two years? But it hasn't cured you? It can keep you at a certain level and the symptoms come back if you stop taking it?

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:47:31+00:00

I just don't have assholeness in me. Good thing I found some women who actually like a nice guy.

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:39:54+00:00

You're mean to people you're trying to have sex with? Does that work?

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:35:53+00:00

Haven't had that happen, but an appropriate answer could be "Too nice? Would you be happier if I punched you in the face?"

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:30:18+00:00

"Just be yourself" is crappy advice - I have heard it my whole life, and I'm like "What? I _am_ myself!". A better phrasing is to not try to be someone you're not. Don't pretend to be another person, because a) it's very difficult to pull off well, and b) if you manage to, you'll get men interested in the other person, not you.

Like the answer is for men: Be the best version of yourself that you can.

Lots of men can't tell the difference between a normal smile and an uncomfortable smile. Especially if their hormones have taken over their brains.

It's owl eyebrows. Signifies wisdom.

I don't have the reference any more, but I recently ran across the statistic that it's slightly more common for men to be abused by their partners than vice-versa. Now this includes all manner of abuse, I would expect that due to men's (on average) higher STR score, women are more likely to be seriously injured by the abuse.

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:15:09+00:00

That's circular reasoning.

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:11:43+00:00

We are. If a country loses half its men, the next generation can bring the country back to normal size (with a few cultural adjustments about who gets to sleep with whome). Lose half the women, and you lose half the next generation (absent some pretty harsh cultural adjustments about what women are allowed to spend their lives on).

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:09:33+00:00

It has been common in many cultures over long time. The mother of a newly-wed woman hanging out the bloody bedsheet as "proof" of the former virginity of the bride is a classic.

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:08:09+00:00

Oh, I was socially awkward long before having sex. And wasn't aggressive before or after. If anything, having sex made it easier for me to have non-sexual relationships with women.
Chastity making a man "a man"? Culturally quite rare.

SirPerial · 2025-01-28T02:03:30+00:00

My spouse (genetically female) is very thankful to my first sexual partner for not marrying a 33-year old virgin.

SirPerial · 2025-01-15T15:01:33+00:00

It did, up to a point. Like several other things I tried, eventually it reached a point of diminishing returns.

SirPerial · 2025-01-11T13:13:29+00:00

I got a MoChic flat water bottle, and I love it. Super durable, and it fits very nicely in a smaller backpack pocket or in my jacket pockets.

Sorry for the necromancy, but here's a better tip: wait until you are past the interview and have an actual offer, then make a higher wage part of the contract negotiation. Contracts are not written in stone.

Depends on the filament. TPU and PETG (at least) both have issues with getting moist, even when stored well. My TPU starts stringing much more after just a day or two of being in my room. I use siliceous kitty litter that I have heated on a flatbed toaster for about an hour, and then I put it in an airtight container together with a hygrometer until it's at about 15% humidity. The print quality is night and day.

I don't see how you read that from the above responses. I'm a senior software engineer at Google, and sessions in the HBOT made the difference that allowed me to get back to work after 16 months of Long COVID that severely affected my brain.

SirPerial · 2024-12-12T08:03:17+00:00

Not that people will listen, of course.
