Yeah I definitely need to read this book. For me it’s lead to a lifelong substance abuse issue (one month clean from my current DOC (I’m a polysubstance user), cannabis still but that’s not a problem for me) in which I was self medicating my intense sensitivity to any and all stimuli including emotional (I’m extremely empathetic and have strong feelings at all times unless dulled by substances, yes that includes during sleep) as well as sensory (my dad noticed first when I was young, he said I was "more tactile " when I was in elementary and he was partially right and that how I thought of it until I learned more and developed a better understanding with better coping skills and habits), along with the way I think being pretty rigid in some ways, for example I became a militant atheist in elementary school; I later developed a more accurate understanding of my beliefs but as a child I strongly resisted attempts to proselytize to me and bring me to church and church classes or whatever it was and all kinds of shit that never made sense to me the way it was being explained by religious people who were not well informed but had strong feelings about the topic. I have rarely felt well understood even through years of various therapies and treatments with many providers for my many health issues, including the aforementioned substance abuse issue. This book sounds like it might help me understand myself at least. Thank you for sharing :)

Btw I was very underweight for years, I wonder if that has anything to do with what you mentioned about burning calories thinking. I am literally constantly explaining in my head what I’m doing as if someone was watching me and asking what I’m doing. I’ve gotten really good at explaining myself and during my addiction that came in handy, but now I can use it for good, like having this positive interaction with you :)

Oh I don’t mean it that way, I have always felt like I’m “on” too much of the time and it wears me out, especially in the years since my “big T” trauma event happened. It’s at least partially hyper-vigilance, but I think it’s also just how I am. Thats what I meant by messed up, it kind of seems like I’m in the deliberative state more than I “should” be (or what’s average, whatever) and when the reflexive state happens it’s not always at a helpful time.

Psst! Your comment has a typo that makes the joke not work. Just letting you know :)

Wow that is so fucking interesting. I gotta read that book. I think I have a messed up relationship between those two states if that makes sense

In addition to this, can I use my other plugins with it, including side loaded ones? And sync my ff profile with it? I am not okay with having my data used for any reason other than the intended function of the app, and I use ff android a lot.

They’ve been showing ads on content from certain sources on supposedly “ad-free” tiers for years.

But the CEO of proton assures me that this administration will stand up for the little guy and nominate someone who will do good antitrust work!

I think they are pointing out that saying “no ads” and "ad-free about stuff that has ads is not using the words correctly. Could be wrong.

If you said “$.02 (point oh two) and a bad online review” it would’ve had an extra layer and sounded cooler while rhyming.

The microwave is a single player game so I don’t mind it

I live pretty close to a bigish city in a state that is kind of known for good healthcare, my primary schedules about a month out but if I just see whoever is available I get same day sometimes.

Wtf

I appreciate what you’re saying but with all due respect, you don’t know me and/or my relationship with my dad. The time for even tone and “mutual respect” was before we were faced with this existential threat and before he decided he was okay with things heading this way and making excuses for Nazi saluting oligarchs at inaugurations on live TV. I have a complicated relationship with my father like many people do. He has influence over my family, and in certain ways, me. I feel very strongly that its important (ethically necessary even) to call out apologism like this in spaces where my voice may be heard. That and I’m extra emotional dealing with the new reality of things. And for what it’s worth that basically is mutual respect, you can’t get an accurate approximation of how he communicates from just a handful of texts.

Meh I get that and it’s not something I make a habit of, but it communicates the point well. A thousand words and all that.

No offense but your opinion means nothing to me.

Like my dad

No response after that obviously. It would break his brain to accept this is happening.

Seriously?

I’m sorry, what do you mean? This picture of a tattoo?

What a fucking terrible name for a company like that.

Nope
