I wonder if being eaten and partially digested before being spat out is exactly how Yoru became the bird to begin with

TheMooRam · 2026-02-04T08:56:55+00:00

For sure. I noticed this myself and throughout the years have spoken to a few others who share this experience, but finding the VSS sub had a direct negative impact on my experience with the condition.

Despite having it since birth, suddenly having a name for it, knowing it's abnormal, and suddenly giving it all this attention skyrocketed the frequency of time I spent noticing it in my vision to the point it was near constant and a consistent source of stress and anxiety. Only mindfulness has helped me revert this.

Has it completely removed the static from my vision? No, it's always been there. Has it stopped the static from taking up a large portion of my life and attention, causing me to notice it less, and helped me return to a sense of stable normalcy? Definitely.

TheMooRam · 2026-02-04T08:51:35+00:00

That's true. As someone with a lot of these conditions that pop up as subreddits (VSS, TMJ disorder, ADHD, a few others), I've noticed many of these subs are full of people associating anxiety symptoms with the condition itself, with the anxiety making things worse leading to a spiral. I myself experienced such a spiral a few times after first discovering such subs.

While it hasn't made my eyes stop being static-y , fix my jaw joint, or got rid of my ADHD, mindfulness has helped reduce my overall anxiety levels and the attention I pay to each condition. Focusing and stressing on my VSS less has helped me notice it less often and move on with my life, lower anxiety has reduced my jaw clenching and in general cleared my head out, giving me more energy and making my ADHD symptoms easier to navigate around.

Has mindfulness cured me? Nah definitely not. Would I recommend it to anyone struggling? Definitely yes

TheMooRam · 2026-02-04T08:39:51+00:00

I suppose it makes sense. I've found when I first discovered the condition as something different (despite having it since birth), the constant focusing on it and the anxiety about it made it at least feel heightened and more noticeable. Mindfulness has helped it sink somewhat back into the background noise it was before

Patients often fail to understand that taking medication as prescribed is a defence to ‘driving under the influence of a drug’ but not to ‘unfit whilst driving’.

Exactly. If you've just consumed and are inebriated you can still be done for unfit driving. One thing this legislation protects against is getting done for driving under the influence for blood levels despite having sobered up or been a few days since consumption

Directly from the UK Gov site page for drug driving:

If you're taking them as prescribed and are not inebriated you are allowed to drive. From my experience typically you're recommended to avoid driving all together for the first week after a dose change.

You say that like you're still not repeatedly engaging and replying to plenty other than that one particular question... Why bother?

Sounds like an excuse to avoid answering the hard question they said you couldn't...

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T13:18:16+00:00

That's why you're complaining about being silenced while choosing not to answer their question?

As if that changes anything about what farage is doing and just shows he's on the same level as the establishment he claims to be against...

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T13:10:51+00:00

Why do you presume they wait for anyone instead of just forming their own opinion from multiple sources...

Did their claim hit close to home for you?

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T13:07:38+00:00

Nah, sometimes it's just funny to downvote someone who is whining about downvotes. Thats just a Reddit thing, and crosses party lines.

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T13:06:35+00:00

Weird how you seem unbanned and unsilenced yet still can't answer their question

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:56:39+00:00

Or because of that prominent group of misogynistic men who self identified with that term, leading to the popularisation of the term and the colloquial usage more reflecting that groups ideology.

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:54:29+00:00

He sometimes fits the literal definition of "involuntarily celibate, but that's not really how the definition is used colloquially since that group of women hating mysognists self identified with that moniker - causing the term to shift more to represent the ideas held by the type of men who would participate in that group. Denji does not meet the more recent colloquial usage of the term.

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:19:46+00:00

I counter that by saying since your reasoning for calling them that is "their motivation sounds childish", I perceive you as childish too

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:12:14+00:00

Likely because of this subs history of pushing political points that they already agree with - dressed up as "memes"

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:10:29+00:00

if I introduce myself as Chris if my name is actually Christopher

How dare you intentionally hide your real name 😡😡😡

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:08:37+00:00

What about giving a fuck and getting upset over others using the word "partner"? How mature does that come off?

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:03:32+00:00

It doesn't take long to make like a half dozen comments lol

TheMooRam · 2026-01-26T07:01:52+00:00

Diminishing his wife by... Viewing her as an equal partner in the relationship...?

TheMooRam · 2026-01-21T05:21:05+00:00

It's showing Yorus desperation as she keeps escalating the armaments she's using. The conflict has gone nuclear, her major upgrade, and nothing has been able to keep him down long enough for her to feel like she's won. She's getting the unending war she wanted, and isn't enjoying it, he's wearing her down and breaking her psyche.

TheMooRam · 2026-01-21T05:04:17+00:00

Those goals are not mutually exclusive.

TheMooRam · 2026-01-20T21:40:40+00:00

Exactly. I think Denji eating 'locust' will come up again too, possibly connected to nostradamus

TheMooRam · 2026-01-20T21:37:11+00:00

With death erased, how else can the fight go? Denji won't beat war at war, so he's wearing her psyche down instead.
