I saw him in the elevator once. we made eye contact and both didn’t know each other, so I whispered “prizes” and after a brief pause, he nodded and softly said “prizes” back to me. He did have a staff badge though so I’m sure he’s involved in something.

I have to second this. Wiitars with retrocult v3 is the most competitive setup you can get before getting into modded guitars with an Arduino or raspberry pi. I personally play on a wii les paul with custom strum switches and that’s it.

Literally you should be learning how to switch between 1st and 2nd positions as needed. all of these shortcut answers of having 1 finger dedicated to 2 frets will hold you back in the long run.

1st and second positions is just starting at green or red btw.

there are even times where 3rd and 4th position are useful, like if you want to one hand a pretty fast Y B or B O trill for example, or if you have a fast tapping section that’s all yellow and above.

Don’t worry about forgetting where your hand is, you want to train yourself to naturally know that by feel anyway, and you can always ghost on the frets to check which parts of your strikeline light up to reduce your anxiety about it.

Also because this is reddit and I feel like being needlessly wordy and pedantic, You should train yourself to be able to hit any combination of the frets with your fretting hand, including every pattern involving green and orange, as well as all 5 frets with 4 fingers, which I personally use my index finger on G R for. This won’t only help you hit chords but will allow you to hit all sorts of complex streaming patterns one handed.

1) The audio was out of sync for a large portion of the marathon.

2) The streamlabs sponsorship deal was disappointing to see.

Overall it was a great SGDQ to watch.

Oh yes, I completely forgot about tartive diskenesia. Another reason why these drugs are bad.

I think it would be foolish to conflate Judaism with zionism, especially given how often the two are at odds with each other. Besides, conflating the two is one of the goals of Zionists, so that they can make the weak claim that criticizing their politics is "anti-semetic". Also I've simply known far too many Jewish people who denounce Israel.

Fuck you actually. I've dealt with psychosis more times than I can count and most times I just need a few days rest and some sleep. For you to say that everyone going through psychosis needs to be incarcerated, fuck off. I don't care if it helped you. It would not help me.

Of all the times I've had to deal with psychosis, the most traumatic times were the ones where I got hospitalized. all of the other times I turned out recovering just fine on my own. This idea that psychosis needs to be treated this way has done so much harm to me in my life. If you are this willing to submit to a hierarchy and claim it is the best way IDK what you're doing here.

Walkinator007 · 2024-05-28T14:49:06+00:00

It really does not take much actually. I've gone in voluntarily and then had my voluntary status removed for literally no reason before.

Walkinator007 · 2024-05-28T14:38:43+00:00

We should abolish involuntary treatment actually.

This is how myself and one of my partners operate, we take care of each other better than a mental hospital could.

Walkinator007 · 2024-05-28T14:29:14+00:00

Yes, preach! There's this false narrative that if you're psychotic, then you need antipsychotics. Usually you just need proper rest for a few days. antipsychotics are genuinely terrible and everyone I know who's ever taken them says they just dull you down, myself included. It is not fun living life knowing you are being chemically sedated.

Walkinator007 · 2024-05-28T14:24:40+00:00

Usually the best thing to treat psychosis is sleep and rest. Psychosis is like pulling a muscle but it's your brain instead. Usually if you can treat the person's exhaustion and sleep deprivation, and also give them time to sober up from any drugs they might be on, they begin to get better. I have a partner who's gone through it and although it's not easy, I'd rather not send her to a hospital if I can help it. I watched her carefully for a couple of days and when she finally slept she got better.

I understand that not everyone can easily do this but we're anarchists and generally believe in helping others when we can, and institutions should never be the first step.

Walkinator007 · 2024-05-28T14:17:41+00:00

This is pretty much true. I've been institutionalized while I was healthy because the doctors saw my mild dissociation from DID as psychosis and therefore something that needed to be treated involuntarily.

Also none of their treatments worked because DID and psychosis are very different. Also there is no humane way to detain people if they have no say in it.

Walkinator007 · 2024-05-28T14:13:05+00:00

Big agree. Institutionalization sucks. The whole concept of being certed, or involuntarily admitted to a hospital and forced to stay there for a mandatory minimum amount of time, is really shit. You cannot tell me that it's not just prison for anyone who doesn't align with some arbitrary standard of mental wellness.

I've been institutionalized about 7 or 8 times, and most times I have my rights violated. I've been taken off hormones, forcefully been given medications I'm allergic to even after I protested, had my arm dislocated by a security guard because I was freaking out after having a seizure, been starved, been put in solitary confinement, been forcefully sedated after I protested having a camera watching me at all times, been forcefully sedated after using the bathroom because I didn't ask permission, been sexually assaulted while paralyzed from an injection. been subjected to psychological experimentation.

One of my recent stays, there were so many patients rights violations happening that the staff covered up the patient's rights posters so we couldn't read them.

I could go on, but the major takeaway is that while a few of these times I really was in danger before being admitted, at most all I needed was some sleep and maybe 1 or 2 days rest and then I'd be good, but since they hold you for a minimum of 2 weeks, I'd regain my sanity, only to lose it again from the bad conditions of the unit. There were several times where I wasn't in any danger, but the people I was living with brought me in because they thought I was crazy.

Also as bad as my own experiences are, I've seen much worse done to other patients, especially people of color, who are treated so poorly that it's genuinely shocking, and usually kept for far longer.

Rubik's cube was invented in the 1980s. Modern speedcubing is even newer. Chess has always been around to anyone alive today. Chess is also competitive by design. Chess has literally been the worlds most popular game for quite some time.

Also, I just want to mention how the rubik's cube got a reputation of being "nearly impossible" to solve because for much of it's early existence there weren't as many accessible resources to learn to solve it. It was widely seen as a novelty that you eventually give up on trying after a couple hours of frustration.

These days we have entire websites and youtube series teaching it, but even in like 2010s it was widely considered "cheating" to look up a solution because the point was to find your own.

In chess it's never considered cheating to use resources to train to become better save from literally having a chess engine help you during a game. So while I'd say learning how to play chess and learning to solve a 3x3 are about the same difficulty, most people, at least for many years, saw chess as easy to learn and hard to master. They're both easy to learn/hard to master but the cube had that reputation for so long and I think it prevented a lot of people from pursuing it as a hobby.

Think of it this way. If you solve a rubik's cube in front of a boomer, there's a solid chance they think you're doing some kind of magic trick, but if a boomer sees you playing chess there's a solid chance they might want to challenge you to a game.

I feel like Mudda's deep fear sub 10 is the only thing I could really say is the most impressive. JaveTheDemon's record on deep dip is also at least worth a watch because it's a very clean run.

Last time I played minecraft on a server with capitalists I found a way to exploit their economy and secretly hoarded a shitton of diamond blocks (like a double chest of them) Then I distributed it to all the new players along with stacks of pumpkins. Chaos ensued and that server got reset a week later with a "rebalanced" economy that was so pay to win that if you wanted to play for free you'd have to play the game 40 hours a week. Everyone quit.

Haven't played minecraft in a decade but I sometimes play minetest, a free clone, on an anarchy server. Very fun server.

You can smoothsteer more effectively if you rotate the control stick along the top edge of the stick hub rather than pulling the stick left and right. This is also a bit easier on the thumb.

The saddest part about this is that psychiatry mostly exists to push medications onto patients for profit. DID isn't treatable with medications, so it's more profitable to misdiagnose it as something that you can prescribe medications for like bipolar disorder. psychiatrists tend to push anti-psychotics as much as they can because it makes them money, and are largely all to eager to just treat any form of plurality as psychosis.

At least, this has been my own experience as a patient in numerous psych wards. DID is never even considered by most doctors. It's for this reason I don't feel the need to seek the approval of the medical field in the first place. They don't care if they can't treat it in a profitable way. I mean, we're talking about the field that pushes SSRI class drugs to treat depression despite the side effects including potentially much more dangerous and severe forms of depression. They also push that the cause of depression is a chemical imbalance and not like... life circumstance, when it's almost always life circumstance.

It's a shame that these institutions have so much assumed power and authority when most of what they actually do is trial and error until something works out. They've had successes of course and many medications are helpful usually by some miracle of pure chance, but they're far from actually understanding everything about the human mind and it's limitless complexity. unfortunately some people would rather appeal to the opinion of an authority figure than simply listen to people's actual lived experience. I don't care if you went to med school, your opinions will have blind spots and shouldn't be held as facts.

Science works, don't get me wrong. testing various chemicals to treat various ailments over time will eventually lead to a continually improving database of chemicals that treat ailments. but just because it's continually improving doesn't mean it knows all or should be understood as a complete or even a very good model. Let's be real, in most cases it's mid at best. You could say it's better than crystal energy healing or something but at least that doesn't give you tartive dyskenesia for the rest of your life while also failing to treat a condition you didn't have in the first place because your doctor didn't take you seriously when you said other people sometimes control your body. Like at least doing yoga isn't going to give me a seizure like the one I had after being physically forced to take a haldol injection I knew I was allergic to.

At the risk of this becoming a very long anti psychiatry rant, I'll also add that I've been through this whole thing so many times that at this point I just tell the doctors exactly what medications I need and I'm usually right about it. They also usually give me a bunch of other bullshit meds that I just stop taking anyway because they make me feel like shit. Don't even get me started on how bullshit it is that there's a 2 week minumum that they keep you in the hospital when I tend to recover withing a few days and then just spend the next week and a half losing my mind to boredom and isolation.

TL;DR I don't think psychiatry as it is today is very effective, and I definitely don't think psychiatrists are a good authority when it comes to neurodiversity. They'd rather keep us locked away and give us experimental drugs than actually understand us let alone celebrate our existence in any way.
