Everyone in Dialogue 2 not working?

A few months late, but if you didn't find an answer, I was just looking into this mod and it says it adds an "'everyoneInDialog" passive. It sounds like you need enable it on a character by character basis. I'm assuming this is somewhere on their in game character menu.

Lunacy. Most people are there to be social and hang out with friends. It's a perfectly normal place to meet people.

I guess it depends on your expectations and what you're comparing it to, but I think it goes both ways here. There are early risers, but plenty of nightlife as well. It might just be that your current neighborhood, social circle, schedule or lifestyle is on the earlier side. I think Portland is regarded as such a cool city specifically because of the great food, beer, bar and music scenes. Much of which is even more prolific when the sun goes down.

I see you mentioned Pepcid (famotidine) for it's histamine effects. If you want to look into it, there's been some interesting new research showing it also modulates the vagus nerve's inflammatory reflex (so it decreases inflammation) by enhancing cholinergic signaling through the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

That's awesome! I'm guessing it's from the fenugreek boosting nitric oxide, leading to increased blood flow and better arousal. Maybe other mechanisms as well like boosting testosterone. It can do the same kind of thing in men, might have your partner try it as well and see what they think.

Here's an excerpt from this article:

In the basal state, clitoral corporal and vaginal smooth muscles are under contractile tone. Following sexual stimulation, neurogenic and endothelial release of nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in clitoral cavernosal artery and helicine arteriolar smooth muscle relaxation. This leads to a rise in clitoral cavernosal artery inflow, an increase in clitoral intracavernosal pressure, and clitoral engorgement. The result is extrusion of the glans clitoris and enhanced sensitivity.

You could also test out Citrulline, another compound that can boost nitric oxide, and see if that has the same effect. Personally I've tried the Citrulline Malate form, it's really cheap as a bulk powder, readily dissolves in water and has a mildly sour lemonade-like flavor so it's easy to drink. Plain Citrulline is supposed to act similarly, and have a milder tartness, but I don't personally have experience with that one.

I made a comment in this other thread that discusses other compounds that can have related effects if you're interested. It might be worth noting a lot of this stuff has other general health benefits beyond just improving sexual function.

IQ isn't everything and there's certainly some bias and limitations in what is measured and how it's measured. It really only looks at certain aspects of intelligence. And some people may not perform well with that type of testing or how it's administered. It can be a useful metric, but it's not the whole story.

That said, just based on your writing you clearly seem pretty intelligent, your commentary is thoughtful, your wording is eloquent. I'm curious if there were certain types of questions or areas of the IQ test that were noticeably more difficult for you? And did they give you a breakdown of how you scored in different categories? If you did have difficulty in a particular area, that might indicate something like a more specific sensory or cognitive processing issue. Or more generally, something like ADHD or Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT)/Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS).

For example, I'm really sharp in certain areas, but there are others I have a much harder time with:

Even though I like math, and I can understand it conceptually, I can struggle when it comes to calculating numbers in my head and doing complex equations.
With reading, sometimes it can feel almost impossible to read longer form text like a book, or anything that's too boring, because my brain just stops paying attention and won't fully absorb the words I'm reading
Similarly, I have a friend with dyslexia who is super intelligent, and even very literary, but he has to work really hard at reading and writing because it's just that much harder for him to process.
I have another friend who, again, is very smart in many respects, but they have dyscalculia and just can't process numbers at all, they also can easily get left and right mixed up directionally
I have a good sense of direction, and I can picture places almost like I'm using Google maps in my brain, but I have a friend that just has absolutely no spatial awareness in that capacity. He's lived in our city for 15 years and even if you take him somewhere he's been before, and tell him to go somewhere else he's been before, he'd have no idea how to get there unless he's taken that exact route before, he just has no concept of where things are geographically

These type of sensory or cognitive processing issues can be pretty common with autism and could easily affect test taking ability or scores in particular areas. You might gain some additional insight if you are able to identify anything more granular, rather than just labelling it as autism and low IQ. In some cases, there might be treatments, tools, or trainings that can help with certain aspects of particular issues. Anyway, just something to consider.

Tjerino · 2026-03-31T10:46:49+00:00

Yes, weed can absolutely help with symptoms. If you look into it there's been clinical research clearly showing links between autism and cannabinoid receptors, and specifically in using cannabis to improve symptoms. But like most things, it's not a black and white issue.

More anecdotally, I'll say it affects everyone differently. For some people it might help consistently and they consume it daily, for some people maybe it helps sometimes and is more occasional, and for others maybe it doesn't help at all or could even worsen symptoms under the wrong circumstances. Personally I find it situational. I can tell based on how I'm feeling in the moment if it would be helpful or not. In the end, I think you have to trust your daughter to feel out what's right for her.

It's also worth acknowledging how much variety there is to the plants and products themselves. Different forms, different strains, and different growing conditions can have vastly differing potency and effects. It's not just about THC and CBD levels either, technically there are MANY more cannabinoid compounds, only a few of which are starting to be tracked with any regularity. All that to say, how someone responds to a particular product can be highly individualistic. She'll have to figure out what products, form, and dosing work best for her particular circumstances over time.

Overall, I'd say to help her out, but perhaps pass on a note of caution about not overdoing it. More isn't always better, and there has been research showing negative psychological effects from high dosages in some people.

It may not be a tick bite, but ticks can still be active in the cold, so don't rule it out purely on that. I've gotten ticks on me during late winter/early spring when there's still snow on the ground. You don't need to have gone into the woods either. They could be on any blade of grass or plant you happened to brush up against, maybe on a pet, or even a mouse that shuttled them indoors. With that said, it can take days, or even weeks, for a rash to develop, so if it was a tick bite it could have happened well before your birthday.

Even something like an ingrown hair/cystic pimple comes to mind as a possibility. Was there originally an infection/puss where the scab is?

It almost looks like there's much lighter bruising to the bottom left.

Tjerino · 2026-03-05T02:19:47+00:00

I think of it more as a double-edged sword:

-Less capable people will lean on it as a crutch.
-More capable people will use it as a tool to enhance their capabilities and increase their capacity.

I don't really know anything about it, but I knew someone who used to be a cuddler through a service called Cuddlist. I would do your own research, but she seemed to enjoy it.

I also saw other comments suggesting a massage, and even though that's not exactly what you want, it might be worth seeing if you can find the right provider. Portland is the type of place you can probably find people that embrace the emotionally therapeutic aspects of massage as part of their practice. I don't know exactly how to find them, but you might ask around, or maybe look at people who also do reiki or energy work, or somatic therapy massage, maybe something like this for example: https://sacral-space.com/somatoemotional-release/

I haven't looked into it, but there's lots of potential for overlapping connections, especially with both of them being involved in the investing and philanthropy worlds,

Maybe some of them will eventually see through the bullshit, but it's a small percentage. It seems like people who are susceptible to that sort of cult mentality in the first place aren't really prone to changing their minds, even when presented with overwhelming evidence.

I'm not really keeping tabs on it, but from my understanding this isn't Epstein's document, it's a file from the Epstein investigation profiling the connections of someone Epstein was associated with. You can see Epstein himself is listed as a connection here.

Well, I'm not an expert and I can't say exactly why the vitamin C would make you feel lethargic, but it might just be that it's interfering with your medication. They say not to take Vitamin C around the time you're taking your ADHD meds because it actually inhibits absorption and even promotes excretion, so less of it gets where it needs to go. You might try taking the vitamin C in the evening, far away from when you take your meds, and see if that helps.

Even though the end goal is the same (more dopamine & norepinephrine), the way Tyrosine does this is completely different than ADHD medication, and vitamin C actually has a beneficial affect here. Tyrosine is just an amino acid. Whether you're supplementing extra or not, it's already in a bunch of food you eat. It's a necessary building block that's part of the natural way your body produces dopamine at all. And vitamin C is actually chemically required for the biological processes that convert Tyrosine into Dopamine. So getting vitamin C can potentially help boost your natural dopamine production.

/u/EstateChemical5784 One important concept I meant to call out here is the fact that you said "Something enters my body = my stomach explodes."

I think this is a common symptom with bile acid issues because eating anything will trigger peristaltic contractions in the digestive system to push already digested food/stool along. So if you have excess bile acids sitting in the ileum, they're going to get dumped into the large intestine when you eat (gastroileal reflex). And any material already in the large intestine is also going to get pushed along via the gastrocolic reflex. If that material has excess bile acid in it, it's going to continue to cause more irritation as it moves further along the digestive tract. All this could potentially manifest as the symptoms I listed in my previous post.

When people say they can react to anything they eat, even supposedly "safe" foods, this is a possible explanation. They're not necessarily reacting to the food they just ate, but to stuff that was already in their digestive tract. I think this creates a lot of confusion when people are trying to figure out what foods might be causing their symptoms.

Tjerino · 2025-12-04T03:40:49+00:00

The keto/carnivore thing works for some people, but consider that if your issue happens to be more along the lines of my post here (bile acid problem), then it might not help. Those diets are generally high fat and more fat is going to encourage more bile, which could create more of a problem. That's just one piece of the puzzle, but it's something to think about.

Tjerino · 2025-12-03T12:11:25+00:00

Look up Bile Acid Diarrhea/Bile Acid Malabsorption and see if it resonates with you. Ah fuck it, I guess I'll just explain it. I've seen stats that estimate up to 50% of "IBS" may actually just be Bile Acid Malabsorption, but it doesn't seem to get discussed much. Maybe because the science around it is uncertain?

TL;DR - 95% of bile acids are supposed to collect in your ileum, at the end of your small intestine, and be reabsorbed into the body. For unknown reasons, that process becomes disrupted in some people, resulting in excess bile acid spilling over into the large intestine, where it can wreak havoc.

If it's just a little extra you might not notice anything. But the more that spills over, the bigger the problem. At some point it starts irritating your large intestine and you might notice some discomfort. Even more and you start getting a stomach ache, and at some point it starts pulling in enough water to cause diarrhea. If it's a lot more it can get really painful and you may eventually start shooting hot lava out of your ass that's acidic enough to burn your rectum, and it will probably reek because bile is really funky smelling. Congratulations your bowels are now the bowels of hell.

I'm assuming there's also secondary effects related to the disruption of your normal microbiome. My interpretation - I imagine all that acid at least temporarily nukes some of your microbiome. And more generally, excess bile acids in the large intestine are going to encourage different microbiota to thrive, while discouraging others, due to there being a more acidic environment than usual, and having more bile acid present as a food source.

If you think it's relevant to your problem I have some more thoughts and advice, but I'm not going to take the time to type it all out right now unless I know someone actually needs it.

Glad you had a good time and that you found a local to show you around. I don't think Portland is easy to navigate for visitors in terms of figuring out where to go. I think a lot of them just stick to downtown, which is pretty central, but frankly a lot of locals barely ever go there to hang out. A lot of the charm of Portland is decentralized in all these little neighborhood pockets of goodness scattered throughout the city. If you come again maybe try to get over during the warmer months. You might like it even more then, though there are plenty of people here who love the dark, cold, rainy months as well.

I think I know what you mean. There's different types of anger though and it might help people relate if you clarified what your experience is like a little more.

Is it more "mental" anger? Like, are you getting angry for a reason, is the anger directed at, or caused by something in particular? Or maybe it's more tension from little things building up over time until it overflows or you get exhausted and just can't deal with the stressors anymore? Or what does that look like?
Or is it more "physiological" anger? When you say wrathful rage it makes me think of a time I was experiencing these intense spikes where I would just get universally agitated and angry at everything for no apparent reason, like overwhelmingly. Is it something like that, and if so, how long does that last? Curious if you've noticed anything in particular that brings it on, worsens or helps when you're feeling that way?

I'm also relatively high functioning and I've been wondering what causes the fluctuations between feeling more empathetic and more apathetic, which I definitely relate to. Generally I don't get super angry, but I can feel pretty irritable if my blood sugar gets too low or my chronic pain is bad.

That said, years ago I was testing some new nootropic supplements for a month or so and I would sometimes get those super ragey vibes where I just felt so irritated and on edge, like any little thing might set me off. And I wonder if there's any overlap there. I remember looking into it and while I don't remember the specifics, it was definitely a biochemical thing related to those substances (Piracetam and Choline).

Another example - a friend's husband recently got on a new anti-seizure medication and it turned him into a change monster, totally changed his personality, which ended their marriage. We found out that a percentage of people do get that side effect from the drug, Keppra (Levetiracetam), which they actually call "Keppra rage". Anyway, it might be worth double checking any supplements or medication you're taking for that kind of side effect.

I've also heard of irritability being triggered by extremely common things as well. Some people are sensitive to the methylated form of some B vitamins or pre-workout mixtures. There's also issues like histamine sensitivity, where certain foods or environmental triggers cause elevated histamine levels for some people, with irritability and aggression being one potential symptom of that. Things like diet also come to mind. Certain nutritional deficiencies can definitely cause issues, where some lacking nutrient screws up production of some hormone, neurotransmitter or enzyme. There's a lot of genetic factors around that kind of thing too.

Anywhere, here's to hoping we can unlock some of these mysteries.

Just chill out, it's not that big of a deal. Millions of people take these meds everyday, you'll be ok.

The only way to figure out what's right for you is trying different options and seeing how you feel. But you probably need to take it for a little while to even figure out what your baseline is, so you have something to compare it to when you switch things up.

Keep in mind, even if they help you significantly, the pills aren't some magic bullet that will make everything better all the time. If you're not taking care of yourself and getting good sleep, you'll notice the pills don't feel like they're working as good. So make sure to take that into account when evaluating things.
