Careful with that one buster, benzos and booze are a fast track to a forever snooze.

Edit: ok my bad, zopiclone is a nonbenzo after I double checked but don’t mess too hard with GABA receptor stuff, those cheeky cunts have a way of messing back with ye.

I have that too. I just wipe it with microfibre wipes every few weeks and before guests come over.

Trains stay winning

Holding cell in a North Korean political prison, awaiting sham trial and execution following crimes of wrongspeak against dear leader. Only £99.99 on TUI!

I will create a masto instance where this is mandatory to counter balance

I only ever hear that in movies. I assumed it happens if you eat low grade meat or smth like in the wild west in the US back in the day and it just became an old wives’ tale turned pop culture myth.

I do actually not like spicy food though, especially Chinese and Indian, but I’ve had enough of it to know I never had any gut issues.

Nah my S.O. is down to game and does so more than me because she’s unemployed, but I on the other hand don’t have the time for it.

Where would I ever get time for that? I don’t have kids but I’m genuinely curious. In-between chores, upskilling and work and S.O., I have absolutely zero time to just sit down and game, and even when I do, I have no energy.

How am I factually incorrect? I didn’t even state any facts. A statement like 5’7" is quite short is fairly subjective by its nature because short/tall are qualitative descriptors that it’s hard to quantify even with a frame of reference and averages agreed upon.

I could see it being effective, yeah. Obviously in this situation she just needs to try it (carefully obvs) and report the effects. If it’s not/won’t be medically prescribed for her condition then she would be in somewhat untested waters, so it’s a trial and error thign obviously keep it safe and acetone wash it.

When I was self-medding with amph, I bought a scale and would pack it in capsules weighed out to 40mg each and pop two - four a day. Don’t snort that shit.

Definitely don’t do Cocaine that shit doesn’t help much of anything and even if it seems to, lasts all of 10 minutes unless you OD.

I would also suggest wellbutrin. It’s sometimes used as a generic stim, but unlike amph and etc. it’s also a smoking cessation aid - because it works on the nicotinic receptor, similar effect to nicotine but without the addiction (and in fact,.you won’t want to ever consume nicotine on it).

Not you specifically necessarily, but my comment got quite downvoted so I figured I’d include that as a disclaimer just in case

Average height where I am in the UK is 5’9" for men (175cm). I’m not dating in Asia so the global averages aren’t really relevant.

Don’t feel insecure though, it’s just each to their own, and I hope you find someone awesome who loves you and is a good fit! (if you haven’t already of course!)

I’m quite lucky because I found a girlfriend who is the same height as me. We’re a really good fit together physically and much more importantly we’re absolute soulmates, and in the end that’s what matters.

And for what it’s worth, before I met my gf when I was younger, I still went on a date with a trans bi dude who was like 5’3" or 5’6" or something because I found him super interesting. Didn’t work out, and it was actually me getting turned down, so there’s that, I didn’t discard him as a choice just because of his height nor even the potential physical incompatibilities.

I also once set up a date with a self-proclaimed “incel” Chinese immigrant who was around the 150-160cm mark, but he got paranoid and thought it was a scam because I listed the height req on my profile, and I was really busy and not responding much because I was trying to nail down an internship at the same time 🤣

One time , I went on a date with a cishet dude who said he was 6’0", so I took the occasion to wear my heels, turns out dude lied and just looked like my son the entire time, he also had a bit of a babyface, and it didn’t help he was a software engineer, and I was unemployed, but I talked circles around him in terms of computer stuff when I started infodumping about hackintoshing old vaio laptops over dinner.

Never spoke to him after that and neither did he to me lol, awkward all around lmao

I mean, 5’7" is quite short.

Not that I would wish it on anyone to be rejected because of their height, but we’re all entitled to our sexual preferences, without the burden of justification. And this one seems incredibly reasonable, unless maybe you’re in Asia where 5’7" is like top 1 percentile?

I would never date any man or woman below 5’10" because I prefer my partner to be taller than me. I generally consider anything less than 5’8" to be very short, and anyone over 6’0" to be tall.

Most of them have a more or less coherent plot but an unrealistic premise.

Like I’m escaping my home from a tornado or massive storm of some sort, but such things don’t happen where I live, etc.

There’s also a kind of short “context memory”, like a generative LLM, where past a certain point some information is lost, the previous plot will be forgotten and a now it’s a completely new genre, sorta like From Dusk Till Dawn.

Often more-or-less magic will intervene in science fiction scenarios and vice versa, like star wars invading star trek or bsg type stuff, or an apocalyptic movie will become a sort of bizarre nature documentary narrated by Steve Irwin and David Attenborough from the afterlife in their respective passionate and dispassionate tones about what became of humanity after the end (kinda wish it was Ron Perlman instead), or F&F style action setpiece where I’m running from falling nukes will become a 10 Cloverfield Lane or The Thing type “social trust” thriller with sketchy characters and an escalating threat.

Often they’re “played” by either actual actors, game characters or people I knew in high school.

I only have upvotes and downvotes on Jerboa, no scores.

I’m not going along with this tiktok diagnosis shit when the way I see it I have extremely fundamental problems with the plausibility of the entire concept.

Yes, while reading. I miss music to be specific, so this applies to comic books, manga etc.

A good soundtrack to me is everything in terms of tone and atmosphere and mood.

Less subjectively, it makes sense, since you can’t touch or smell the world inside a book or a game or a film or whatever, the remaining types of information are auditory and visual, so 50% of the information about a thing is aural, so games, movies, shows etc. get that as a leg up on books etc.

On the other hand a lack of music does often force my brain to make some up which gets my lazy ass to go nurture that hobby and produce some sounds so I’m not complaining!

I don’t have aphantasia and I don’t particularly fancy any medium over the other, but what I often miss is sound. Music is a whole different language to either visual or conceptual as conveyed by words, whereas imagery to me feels the most direct and laziest, music can convey feelings there are neither words nor imagery for, and so often I like adaptations of written works for injecting some fitting music, and will listen to fitting music as I read books.

You both seem nuts to me. I can conceptually imagine, but obviously cannot see things in my head because I’m not schizo, my surroundings don’t disappear but it doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate descriptions and conjure concepts from them, just not imagery.

I think all this aphantasia stuff is just trappings of the English language and having “imagine” have the word “image” as a root, which is wrong, because imagination is more about concepts, it’s a unique data structure that’s not related to jpegs or photons and doesn’t involve them. But some people conflate the two because their language doesn’t allow them to think otherwise so they assume concepts are literal images in their head, and others with enough self-awareness to know they don’t actually “see” anything in their head assume they have an issue/divergence. It’s so bizarre to watch.

You see a lot of “Z warriors” in Russia too, but much less Dragon Ball sadly :(
