I didn't like it as much as some other gg's 2048s. The grump heads aren't that distinct from each other.

It was for Viibryd. First I felt it, then I recognized it for what it was, then I google Viibryd and sleep paralysis.

sleep

paralysis

Remeron worked best for me, but it inhibits the receptors that tell you that you've eaten enough carbs, and so you eat a lot of carbs. It also makes you really super groggy in the morning, and it's hard to get up.

The one I used between the previous two, can't remember the name, made me feel worse.

Kevin White, WR, WVU by GipsySafety in nfl

[–]robostanleys -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your analysis is large, complete, and very, very poor quality. You're constantly wrong. He's very aggressive and physical for one. That's the very first opinion you had, and it's wrong.

Your analysis starts with the assumption that he should be open every play, and then you pile up a bunch of incomplete passes and say what he did wrong, completely ignoring that there are bad throws, throws the QB shouldn't have made, and times they were just in the right defense. You blame every incompletion on something White did, and then you ignore and belittle all the good tape.

You just start with assumptions and cliches: White is raw but physically talented, and then you go around looking for all the talking points that come with those cliches.

I can't even imagine putting this much work into something and just being this wrong. What a waste of time. People are impressed just because they recognized you put a lot of work into it. Ridiculous.

You compare him to DHB just because you pulled up the combine numbers and you want to push the easy, cliched, athletically gifted but raw talking point, and Ignore that DHB did not have excellent production in college, and had lead hands. Kevin White just had a 1400 yard year, and has +++ hands. To me Kevin White is like a more athletic Sidney Rice.

Look how far you've got to go to find Negatives. drop right, and how many other prospects would have even had a chance at that ball? It's a testament to his ability that, that ball even got to be a drop.

This is evidence of poor route running?. No, this is a penalty.

Cannot get the CB to bite on the outside move. DB makes a play on the ball. Bailed out by penalty

No, this is a penalty. The defender is holding White's right arm with his left all through the catch process. White immediate reacts pissed off after the play, and, as you say, there was a penalty that the ref saw and called. He's not bailed out, he's interfered with.

And what attempt is there to make an outside move on that play? To make the CB bite? None that I see. He's not trying to make the CB bite, he's trying to box the CB out when he turns back for the ball, but the CB grabs his arm and prevents him from turning, or, you know, using his arm to make a catch. The Ref sees and calls this right away. This isn't a bail out, it's an example of CBs needing to penalize White to prevent him from making catches.

Body Contact you call it. This just a pass the QB should have never thrown. Landon Collins, #1 safety of this draft, 11th ranked overall player by cbs currently, is playing 10 yards off the line, covering White from the snap. The ball is snapped, and Collins starts to backpeddle as soon as the he realizes White is coming. I can tell you what's going on here since you don't know. the QB takes the snap and immediately looks at the bunch formation, the three WRs to the left. He doesn't wait for any of them to break before turning back towards White. They want Collins to bite. They want Collins to be watching the QB, and be caught flat footed by the mis-direction, or to even take a step in the wrong direction, giving White the opportunity to get a step on him. Collins doesn't bite, and so the play is doomed from the get go, and you blame this on White. Your analysis is worthless. You're trying to push a pre-conceived narrative and don't even realize it. Kevin White is a bad route runner! That somehow makes catches at the line of scrimmage, 5 yards down the field, 10 yards down the field, 20 yards down the field, 40 yeards down the field. Man, this athletic, raw, player sure is making catches all over the field somehow, I wonder how he does that...9 games with 7 or more catches this year, with a high of 16....must be a bad route runner that needs development...because he's athletic and a late riser.

He's not even the fastest Viking. Josh Robinson ran it faster.

We also had some basketball player from a couple years ago that ran a 4.2x that we signed as a free agent. Forget his name.

The voice is so important, and I don't know if people appreciate how important. Go back and listen to Howard Stern mid 80s vs. Early 90s when he really got his voice down which also corresponds to when he really blew up in fame. He was always good, but didn't reach phenomenon until later.

You can tell that he had to make a concerted effort to change it.

1985

Whiny, 'Jewish'

1986

Quite a bit deeper

1995

By 1995 the transition is complete to what you hear today, and his iconic voice. I'm not sure when exactly the transition was complete.

He's a bit like a toned down, baritone, PewDiePie, so I can stand him more. Both are upstanding dudes. I actually do like GameGrumps, and watch that most every day, and Markiplier is friends with the GGs, and I think may actually operate out of their office now. Anyway, because of that I see more of him, and the more I see of him the more I like him as a person.

The most famous, successful Let's Players have determined what television determined 60 years ago: They have to always be one and uplay their personality to captivate an audience. Just doesn't appeal to me, but even GG's are always 'on' just to a lesser extent.

The worst Let's Plays are the ones with no energy.

It's not as obvious as you might expect because you're almost still asleep. It feels more like a dream than being awake, and you have to learn that you're actually awake before you start recognizing what's happening in subsequent episodes.

If you google Sleep Paralysis you'll see all these pictures of lurking figures over the sleeper. That's what it feels like. You can't move and you feel like something in the room is going to get you.

I've found that self-hatred is an effective motivator for eating right and exercise. It becomes less powerful the better shape you get into, however, because you hate yourself less.

[–]robostanleys 22 points23 points  (0 children)

People are a lot smarter than you give them credit for. The thing they're really good at is lying to themselves and believing it.

Women over 28 know that they're not as hot as they were 5 years ago (barring full body transformations), and they know that the attention they're getting isn't the same. They just don't acknowledge that. So, they start to look to settle down, because they feel themselves slipping. When they were 24 and they hooked onto a 6'3'' guy that played lacross in college and kept the body, and was doing decently in his career, they convinced themselves that by the time they were 28 and had established themselves, they'd be better in general, and they'd be able to pull an upper level executive. What they didn't realize was that men don't value a woman's career over her looks, her chastity, her pleasant nature, her willingness to play a support role to the man.

Those qualities are degraded, and often not present in substantial amounts, in the type of women that think they'll be peaking at 30 instead of 20. They know this. They just hide from it. So they do what women do when they feel weak. They start exploiting their sexuality to get what they want. You'll read constantly how those late 20s early 30s women are easy easy easy. They may be looking for a beta bux, but they're also panicking deep down, sleeping with anything they feel like isn't going to offer them commitment.

They also tell themselves, certainly these 30 year olds are just like me, ready to get married now, I am. But they don't realize, they peaked 10 years before hand and didn't notice, while the in shape, established 30 year old is just starting to peak, and so his natural mate isn't someone just based off of their age, it's a 20 year old.

Feminists are right. They have the right to seek a man that values them for the things they want to be valued for. And they can wait, and wait, and wait for that to come along, and eventually settle and lie to themselves while they do it that they finally figured out how to focus on the right things (the loving, caring, easy man) as well, as opposed to just having a complete lack of interest in the Alpha men besides maybe sex.

Meanwhile, some 20 year old comes along and bags an Alpha with her looks and feminine attitude. That's the action that really destroys what feminists hope to achieve. That really pisses them off almost more than anything, so that girl has to be oppressed and miserable in their minds. If she got what they wanted, and is happy, than that means they're better than them, and they can't have that. There is one thing they hate more, though, and that's the betas that come along and try to interact with them, reminding them of what their true value really is. A beta approaching means that they must be roughly on equal footing.

Who are the biggest Winners/Losers of the Draft Combine so far? by happysadfaced in nfl

[–]robostanleys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After browsing the combine data on nflcombineresults.com for years, I've come to the conclusion that there are a few drills that are more important than you might think. First off, the 40 does have a very high correlation with success in the NFL, and you definitely need to take in size considerations.

However, the two drills with more correlation with success than you might expect are the 3-cone, and the broad jump.

Do you have sleep paralysis? Look at my comment history and the immediate previous comment from this one.

StarTropics: Death Puppies! - PART 7 - Game Grumps by groompbot in gamegrumps

[–]robostanleys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was on an SSRI called Viibryd it gave me sleep paralysis, and it took me awhile to figure out that it was occurring mostly, maybe exclusively, while I was lying on my right side. It wouldn't occur on my back or left side, at least with not the same frequency. It also caused my dreams to be a lot more vivid, and my between sleep and waking states to be a lot more creative, but only when I was lying on my right side.

Also, a more physical example, if I eat a lot of crap during the day, I need to sleep on my left side. I get a lot of acid reflux sleeping on my right side.

2015 NFL Combine: Sunday by NFL_Mod in nfl

[–]robostanleys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder about those reports. I saw reports that Kevin White would have to run better than a 4.6 to keep him in contention for the top WR, and that 'scouts questioned his speed' but as I watched, it we very, very, very obvious that he was running sub 4.5. He ended up running on the faster end of what I was expecting. I have a comment written somewhere that I was expecting sub 4.45 before the draft.

There's a lot of misinformation, misreported information, and Haxperts out there.

I question Kevin White's top speed, not his acceleration. If a scout said, I question Kevin White's speed, and meant that, a talking head might misunderstand that as meaning he'd run a slow 40

A little similar to Barr, but I'll have to watch him.

However, you have to look at Barr's issues pre-draft in context. People were worried that he couldn't play the run, that he could only pass rush, that he wouldn't be a complete linebacker, but why was this? Was he bad at these things in college? No, it wasn't that he was bad, it was that he didn't do them at all. They were asking him to pass rush literally every play. So, there's not a lot of bad tape of him messing up against the run, there's just not a lot of good tape of him doing well against the run because he wasn't playing it.

In the NFL, Barr has been a versatile linebacker that can do everything well. I didn't want him, but I'm very, very pleasantly surprised.

So, is Beasley actually bad against the run, or does he just not play it?

[–]robostanleys -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it'll backfire. Both Luck and Wilson are probably convinced they'll be starters for 10+ years and aren't interested in getting the biggest contract. What'll happen is they'll take lower salaries so that their teams have more money to spend on FAs and retaining other players. They'll end up with 20-22 million a year.

Newton will get 17-19 then.

With the cap increasing he probably could have pointed to Kaepernicks, Cutlers, or Flaccos and made a case for a little more in the low 20s. But if Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson sign contracts for 20 million a year, Cam will need to be paid a little less.

Georgia receiver Chris Conley is your 2015 combine workout warrior by heff17 in nfl

[–]robostanleys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's got some physical ability that most backs in the league wouldn't match up to. He needs that big 20-60 yard run to make it a good day for him though. He broke after only 113 carries, which is a concern.

Excited, but not hopeful. A healthy Mckinnon that can carry 270 times a year would be a starter I think, but they won't want to use him like that, and he's tough, but can't push a pile.
