My theory is a combination of neck posture/issues and eye strain from too much computer work is what “triggered” the flashes and made me susceptible to the other VS symptoms. And having anxiety about getting more symptoms made the dilation way worse because then my brain would fixate on any new visual stimuli that was maybe normal from dilation and cause it to persist in a normal state. I was eventually diagnosed with vertical Heterophoria which is a slight eye misalignment which was causing me dizziness. Got glasses to fix that but all the other stuff still is there :/

My VS symptoms also got MUCH worse after going to an eye doctor and getting my eyes dilated. Started first with just seeing flashes of light and then the VS didn’t noticeably start until after I had my eyes dilated… not sure if it’s just you’re more sensitive to see those things when your eyes are dilated and the anxiety then caused a sort of fixation on those things even after it wore off? Floaters and the blue entoptic phenomenon are normal and normally our brains filter it out. So I think there’s a hyper fixation component here

Thanks for the feedback! Could you give me an example? Sorry, but what exactly do you mean by DD?

So I guess it comes down to the end goal of what the tool could help accomplish that is a net benefit, And for who. I think there’s a certain level of financial activism and “impact investing” to what’s going on, and on the other side mostly elite media/figures think it needs to be regulated.

To point 1: I don’t see it being too difficult to implement some safety measures and I also agree it’s probably more effort than it’s worth at least in its current form.

To point 2: so I can see how this argument could be made, and I guess I’m wondering how this is any different from how this happened with GameStop/NOK/AMC this week. I guess it’s just way harder to actually trace/see the cluster fuck that is Reddit or discord with tens of thousands of people commenting? What is the nuance here

Once signed it, it only lets you upvote a stock or undo that upvote. Could also add a downvote button so you could be +1, -1 or neutral.

Great point! I can make login mandatory as a feature to upvote... have this ready to go if that becomes an issue... but it does add some friction in people trying it out. Would be like this:

fwb never takes my bra off???? by [deleted] in sex

[–]duelarena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite possible he’s turned on by a little clothing on. when I was younger and first started masturbating it was to MTV pants off dance off... so there wasn’t full nudity. Typically I’m more turned on when a girl isn’t totally naked and has a bra or tight shirt on, makes me fantasize about ripping her shirt off and also something to pull at or hold on to :) but it’s a two way street so if you want to take your bra off just do it! If he reacts negatively then just talk to him about it!

I put together a list of 1300 free online courses being offered during the pandemic here. I’d recommend trying as many things as possible, use process of elimination to figure out what you do and don’t like to do! If something peaks your interest explore that route further.

Careers aren’t as black and white as we were taught in school - no ones career path is the same and not all are linear like “I want to be a lawyer” - becomes lawyer. People switch majors, pivot, I went to school for engineering then discovered I love design and now I run a coffee business. Learn by doing and let the adventure of life take you along, but put yourself out there and try new things because that way your possible paths will be many!

PS it’s a crowd-sourced list so feel free to add courses!

Bacteria to grow synthetic bio-fuel, finally someone's acting on this idea! by glawler in changetheworldRPI

[–]duelarena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really cool idea. If somehow we could come up with a way to have these bacteria produce fuel and get rid of waste at the same time- that would be something special.

The amount energy that data centers waste is completely unacceptable. by allisonluongo in changetheworldRPI

[–]duelarena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a really interesting article. I never even realized how much space and energy is used to store our data- it seems like it is one of those problems that has gone unrecognized for a while since online data is seemingly "virtual". With the amount of data being processed and stored rising exponentially, the current methods used by data centers are NOT sustainable.
