I should say so.

This happens to me semi-regularly (I think it’s due to anxiety about struggling to wake/stay awake because I have narcolepsy) and it is awful.

I don’t think it comes down to sheer numbers; I think it’s about deliberately causing suffering and reveling in it. So, maybe the BTK killer or another serial killer who liked to torture their victims.

AI-assisted note-taking is already standard or close to it.

I’d agree if I’d had more useful experiences with radiologists.

I had three radiologists look at CTs of my lungs and say they were (more or less) normal. I showed those same images to a pulmonologist and she immediately saw the problem. The serious problem. And after she showed me how she identified it, I started to be and to recognize the pattern as well.

The radiologists couldn’t.

Camus’ The Stranger really spoke to me. It sort of felt like it described me in ways that I hadn’t known until I read the story.

Mostly, I could tell, I made him feel uncomfortable. He didn’t understand me, and he was sort of holding it against me. I felt the urge to reassure him that I was like everybody else, just like everybody else. But really there wasn’t much point, and I gave up the idea out of laziness.

At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.

In that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself–like a brother, really–I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again.

This is how I operate in general.

I prefer to browse all and block the communities that I really am just never interested in reading/seeing (it might be worth noting that I am a curious person who can find most subjects interesting to some degree, so I’m not going around blocking everything). Nothing against them necessarily, but I like how this gives me a very varied feed without too much content that is way outside of my field of interests bogging it down

The city is a political entity, you want action you need to go for the political jugular.

This is absolutely insane. No, residents should not have to “go for the political jugular” for something as basic as traffic safety improvement.

I hated being cuddled or hugged. But I had high functioning autism, so…

I’m so happy for you for knowing what you want and going for it. I wouldn’t recommend becoming a parent that young in general, but if you’re ready for it, the youthfulness will allow you to do so much more as far as keeping up with the energy of a little kid goes.

And a few months later, I was comforting my gay friend my talking about how little direct power the president actually has. Ah, naivete.

I loved that book. No one seems to talk about that one, despite Stephenson having so many fans. I guess it is a bit dense, but so interesting and fun.

It was a good time in my life. I had a great and active social group (hard to find in adulthood!), and we would regularly get together to play boardgames, video games, go out for other activities occasionally, I’d cook for them… And my health issues were present but super minor.

Now we have all scattered to different places and I’m disabled. I’m still friends with one of the people from that group, at least.

Really got into? The Strokes three or four years ago.

Altruism.

Trustworthiness.

I don’t like eating things that are too pretty or too cute, so yes.
