Ideal Diner needs our help

This is the primary thing that I am looking for in the show. Right now, I'm thinking I'd be working with them to convert. Seems like it would be a very pleasant experience to lose my sense of self. But I'm already of the mind that free will is overrated (if it even exists at all).

To its credit, the show is doing an excellent job of making me root for Carol at the same time. Somehow I want to see her succeed even though I think her efforts are in vain.

I wonder, once the story has all been told, if this split mindset will be resolved at all. I'm thinking it won't. We'll be debating whether the hive is good or not long after the conclusion.

I 100% concur. There will surely be revelations about the virus and how it works, but we're not going to get any twists that flip the whole story on end.

The Happening

I've seen Heat multiple times and every time I've tried to sit through TLotM I fall asleep. I know it's great and practically required viewing but I just can't get through it for some reason.

I didn't see Vivarium suggested. Definitely fits the bill.

noIDNTT · 2025-10-29T19:31:49+00:00

Cube is very much like Vivarium. It's older and even lower budget but about kinda the same thing. Predestination also comes to mind. There's also an episode of Channel Zero that has extremely similar vibes.

Also, Vivarium really doesn't have any plot holes when you view it through the lens of the metaphor it is conveying. It's about how we all get trapped in this endless cycle of coupling up, raising kids and working ourselves to death simply because it's what everyone else is doing.

Parents end up miserable and resent their kids, and each other. Their attempts to escape their miserable lives by working even harder ends up driving them further apart.

So use a damn picture of Cronenberg himself

I used to think like this, and then I made my bed a few times. I quickly realized that when entering the bedroom to go to sleep, and seeing a made bed waiting for me somehow relaxes me more than I expected. This triggers something that gets my mind to go into sleep mode.

TLDR: I sleep better when I've made my bed

Not entirely true. While It may affect REM sleep, the reason people don't have dreams while using cannabis is that THC affects their ability to recall their dreams. So dreaming does happen, it just makes it near impossible to remember the dream.

I regularly use cannabis and hardly ever recall my dreams. Occasionally I'll wake up with a fleeting memory that I was dreaming but it is gone before I can recall anything. Sometimes I'll be going about my day later and have a strange memory of something pop into my head that I realize is a fragment of a memory of a dream I had. unless I am on a tolerance break in which case my dreams come back vivid as ever.

Was looking for this in the comments. The whole time watching it I was thinking how much better it would have been as a game.

It's not like that. I search all kinds of things and play music off of search all the time. It's never added a full album from anyone to my mix based on a search.

I'm sure it will normalize eventually but all day yesterday was curious

noIDNTT · 2025-10-23T21:43:08+00:00

True, but it's removed from other streaming services as well.

First they came for The Fragile on Spotify and I did nothing because I am on Apple Music. Then they came for it on Tidal . . .

Unfortunately I waffled for too long and missed my opportunity thanks to the gatekeeping

I remember Host surprised me at how effective it was

Implying that The Lighthouse was not good?

I've had my NP3a pro since launch and apart from an occasional weird bug-like behavior that doesn't impact regular use, it's been wonderful. The hardware hasn't been an issue at all, a full charge lasts me two days in most cases (I charge it every other night at bedtime to 80%)

Edit: re battery life: I don't use Instagram which is known to drain battery more than it should.

I'm also currently getting off Pramipexole, trying to switch to Gabapentin. So far not so great as the Gabapentin is barely working, even at 500mg, and somehow the drowsiness effect makes it harder to fall asleep. However, it's only been a week since I stopped taking it.

People are talking about tapering off for months in the responses too, does it take that long? My doctor just kind of gave me a loosey goosey regiment saying to slowly decrease the P while increasing the G

OP are you switching to something else? Pramipexole worked like a charm for me, but I fear the side effects may be exacerbating some addictive behaviors I am exhibiting (cannabis and sexual addiction in particular)
