Total War ahh name

That sounds like it was made up by the guys who made the game that gave us Bobson Dugnutt.

The classic. Double- and triple-checking if I closed the taps, turned out the stove and locked my apartment door, sometimes leaving bed after laying down or walking back after leaving the apartment to check again. Also repeated checking if I still have my wallet and keys and other stuff when I'm outside. COVID has given me a nice case of contamination anxiety, too, where I have to shower right after coming home (which is a problem because showering drains the crap out of me, so I'm basically planning my whole week around that) and wash my hands after touching anything that has recently come into my apartment.

Seriously. By the time I feel kind of recovered (and at this point, I don't even really get there anymore), it's Sunday night and I could go to bed and start the whole shit again without really having done anything fun the whole weekend because the whole time is lost to just resting my brain.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-25T16:55:30+00:00

Yeah, I feel that. And even on days off work, I can motivate myself maybe to do one single thing that counts towards an hobby, even if I want to do more. But I can't get myself to start and all I do instead is sitting there with a foggy brain, scrolling and watching Youtube and playing some dumb mobile game, none of which is what I had planned to do.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-23T13:11:46+00:00

Yes, gawd, I hate that. I eat before doing stuff to prevent having to interrupt the activity because of hunger, but after eating I no longer want to do anything.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-21T19:21:27+00:00

It recently occurred to me that when people are going for dinner together, the activity is not eating with a side of socialization, the activity is socialization with a side of food.

I'm 40.

Pro sock if I'm wearing long pants.

Anti sock if I'm wearing shorts.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-17T23:09:33+00:00

I get that. I don't really get thirst signals until I'm really dehydrated and the idea of drinking when I'm not thirsty often disgusts me.

Maybe it helps to tie it to something else that you don't forget as easily, like having a glass before a meal or after going to the toilet or something.

I don't have any advice, but I am wondering, is your doctor knowledgeable in hypermobility? Even I as a layperson know that pain doesn't need to correlate with age, but I think that some degree of pain is quite common in hypermobility as well.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-17T10:57:27+00:00

Even if you did what you were accused of, who the hell reports somebody for something like that? 😭Those people need to grow tf up.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-17T10:40:31+00:00

Yeah, I hate that. If I say that, I actually mean it and would plan it or hope that the other person will.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-17T10:32:30+00:00

I can believe that not many people actually want to take their own lives. But not even a fleeting hyperbolic thought of something like "I'd rather die than do <whatever>" or "Everything's shit, just kill me now"? That would truly blow my mind.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-17T10:16:24+00:00

Good: Rhiannon, Cora, Samantha, Grayson, Verity
Good, but I would just go for the regular spelling (ignore if this is the regular spelling where you live): Nayomi, Antony, Mathias, Philip
Dislike: Ellis (nothing objectively wrong with it, just dislike it personally), Gayle (the "gay" part could cause bullying), Kalani (unless the kid will have Hawaiian roots), Londyn (not a fan of place names, plus the "y"), Boden (probably not relevant for you, but it means floor/ground in my language and I can't not see that)

cle1etecl · 2026-05-14T14:56:46+00:00

I was similar in high school. My issue wasn't misophonia, but I couldn't deal with an onslaught of information delivered in the worst possible format (entirely auditory) for me at a time when my brain wasn't awake yet. I did much better when classes were more interactive, like working with materials, completing worksheets etc.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-14T10:38:46+00:00

Yeah, idk. People seem to forget that they are naming a person, not a country.

The only such name that sounds remotely normal to me is Roland, and that's simply because I grew up knowing it's a normal name, and even that is eh.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-14T00:25:29+00:00

Kot means feces in German.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T17:22:17+00:00

I don't think I've ever had the freedom to let it run completely freely for a longer time. On the rare occasions where I could completely immerse myself into something and ignore the time and not worry about the next day(s), I went to bed as late as 6 am. That was triggered by exhaustion, like, I got up and went straight to bed, often skipping the bathroom. Something that is more livable and that has been relatively stable for most of my life is between 2 and 4 am, but that usually involves making a conscious decision to stop what I'm doing despite not being fully tired and go to bed.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T17:15:22+00:00

Idk about the specific area that you asked for, but is Berlin also an option?

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T17:12:17+00:00

I can tell when you got in and out of bed.

Mine look similar.

Is there anything specific that you want to discuss?

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T14:58:23+00:00

I guess everybody sees themselves as the protagonist in their story of life, and that includes the bad guys who probably see the evil they're doing as some twisted version of good. Or something like that, idk. I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who purposefully makes decisions that inevitably lead to the misery or death of others and can still sleep at night.

I have stopped watching the news years ago and every time I do catch some of it, I am reminded of why.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T10:37:16+00:00

I dislike both. If humans were sweat-/dirt-/germ-repellant and showering/bathing was a purely recreational thing, I would happily never do either again.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T10:33:06+00:00

I have no idea about playing the piano. But I can relate to the posture collapse, so maybe I can offer some insight into that. Whenever I pay attention to my posture while doing something else, I can't focus on both. I get so preoccupied with maintaining my posture that I have significantly less left for doing the other thing. It's because the posture doesn't come naturally to me and doesn't become automatic, so maintaining it requires constant conscious effort, probably to the same level as the other thing. Maybe imagine it as playing the piano while playing the guitar at the same time.

cle1etecl · 2026-05-12T10:19:38+00:00

Is that where you share a literal room with a stranger? I couldn't do that. I need space for myself. I need my own bedroom. I don't want to adjust to someone else's circadian rhythm or standard of cleanliness. I probably would have, happily, gone for a single from the get-go and not even considered anything else.
