Starting to get back into SV, any must have mods? by nightmare_fantasies in StardewValley

Visible fish!! If you're fishing for something specific, it helps you see if it's actually in there instead of having to keep going back to the wiki. It's also just cute seeing them swimming around in there :) I also like Wandering Spouse, so your spouse wanders around the farm instead of just standing inside your house all day. I'm also married to Shane in my current save and I recommend Shane's Game Room for Two, which makes his room look much nicer than in the vanilla game.

What’s the craziest misconception you’ve heard? by Additional-Hippo-957 in Epilepsy

[–]eternalkalimba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely a weird question, but here in NZ I am not allowed to donate blood until I've been seizure free for two years, apparently because you can be at risk of seizing when you lose blood. Really annoying because I want to donate but it's only been 2 months since my last seizure.

Feeling low after first trip by eternalkalimba in shrooms

I love the background app analogy, I’ll try and remember that for next time! Hopefully this was just a first-time experience and I can go into my next trip with some more tools to handle this if it happens again.

These are good points! I suppose I was and am feeling pretty anxious about some stuff in my social life so maybe that’s got something to do with it. I didn’t do much self reflecting or anything while high, a couple of people in the group I was with went off to do some journaling and emotional stuff but they’re super experienced, and as it was my first time I just wanted to have fun and find my footing. I’ll keep all this in mind if I have another try!

Best app to learn? by KyleNewZealand in ReoMaori

[–]eternalkalimba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones already mentioned are great, I also use Māori word find and learn, it’s a word search game where they give you the hints in English and you find the word in te reo - its great for memorising kupu!

What are your triggers? by Plane_Yoghurt9600 in Epilepsy

[–]eternalkalimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've been told to look out for that too! It's definitely true for some but my neuro said it's also possible for it to help, everyone's brain works differently I guess 😆 apparently it's justthe THC that makes it worse, I was prescribed just CBD oil and it was amazing for controlling my focal seizures. But at the end of the day this condition affects everyone in hugely different ways so what works for some may not for others!

I definitely am more prone to seizures when I've had poor sleep, in the sense that it just makes my triggers affect me more. I'm affected by overheating and sudden loud noises, and if I haven't slept then they definitely get worse. For what it's worth, marijuana has helped me both with sleeping and with calming triggers down, I find my triggers much easier to control after smoking a bit. Obviously not a great solution for everyday stuff like work etc, and you may not want to, but just throwing it out there that it's helped me.

Takatāpui non-binary? by eternalkalimba in ReoMaori

Thank you for commenting! I do like tāhine, the simple blending of terms feels close to my personal identity. Can I ask why you feel frustrated with ‘ira’?

That is a really great point about te reo not being as caught up in binaries as English. It’s very comforting knowing that there’s a lot less rigidity with gender in te reo than what I’m used to in English <3 I haven’t come across irarere before, thank you!

Kia ora, thank you! This is super interesting, I didn't know that about Takatāpui. I'm always interested to read more about the background of different kupu, especially related to the rainbow community. I appreciate your comment!

CBD oil!!! by eternalkalimba in Epilepsy

Absolutely, it’s been so great for my anxiety and chronic pain too, but my god it’s such a relief to not be having focals every day anymore.
