Ugh, I would have been a miserable puddle of sensory overload. Kinda glad the nhs doesn't have the budget for that kind of thing now.
As far as I know I'm the only one without high blood pressure in my family too, it's weird how stress can break us so differently despite the shared genes.
Thank you for the Vitassium link!

Yeah, that's the kind of mindset that leads folk like you to believe the BBC is still a reputable institution.

What was the sweat test like? Did they just end up being like, "Yep, you're all hot and sweaty now. Looks like you weren't lying about that." and that was it?
My heat regulation is completely borked and I pour with sweat if I am moving around for long enough to warm up, it's awful. I'm on 5 to 10 litres of water a day, depending on if I'm able to get up and do stuff that day or not, I think I'd die of dehydration if I was only on 3.
Guessing all the electrolytes you're taking help with retaining the water though? I should look into that, there's only so much salty popcorn I can eat.

Aye, spot on on all counts, it's dysautonomia.
Doctor wasn't much help tbh, compression socks, lots of salt and try to sit down before you fall down, were basically all the advice I got. The nhs is a bit shit tho.
- Comment on Entering hyperspace 6 days ago:
I appreciate the concern but I already know what causes it, it's a dysautonomic dysfunction. The other person who replied guessed it spot on, haha.

Huh, fair enough. I did not know that.
I've been doing my shops online with the vegan filters on since the pandemic, so I really have no idea what else is being sold in our supermarkets now. Hoping they make a vegan version of that chocolate croissant one soon tho.

I dread to think about your moral compass if you think the beeb is still worth defending. I gave up on the bbc in 2016, and it's gotten so much worse since then.
- Comment on Every time I make biscuits from a can 6 days ago:
Yeah but a roll of biscuits where I'm from is a packet of hobnobs, which are already cooked when you buy them and would probably be called something like 'a stack of cookies' in your country.
So in the usa a roll of biscuits is the name for the raw dough in a cardboard cannister, that you portion and bake yourself, right?
And usa biscuits are kinda similar to english scones.
So is the packaging pressurised because the dough is yeasted/leavened? Or because of being packaged with a non oxygen gas as a preservative? I know you guys really like long shelf lives with your processed foods.
Would nitrogen be used? Or is carbonated dough a thing? And would that even work as a preservative or a leavening agent? Nah, thinking about it force carbonation in dough would be likely be bitter and have a really rank texture once baked.
Ok, so it's probably nitrogen or maybe bicarb? Would bicarb remain stable and unreacted in the dough for a full shelf life, and still work?
And I think usa biscuits are unlikely to be a yeasted, I remember usa folk on baking subreddits talking about only ever using yeast for bread and how they found it very weird and 'not normal' that yeast in cakes/non-bread baked goods is a thing in other places.

.No spoilers please, the fun bit of all this is in the figuring it out.

What does it mean if you make a creaking noise when you breathe? If you make a creaking noise when you breathe it means you have a rusty lung.
Rusty lung cancer can be easily treated at home with a vape pen and DW40, by filling the tank and taking deep puffs. This will clean your lungs and make you cough up all the rust.
Rusty lung cancer symptoms, red or brown mucus is common with rusty lung cancer, especially following treatment.

I'm just a very jaded freeze avoidant who's met enough people and read enough history to see the patterns.
I know what happens when people think they are better than others and what they do when have power over those they see as being beneath them. You know it too. Everybody does, it's the world around us and the world in our history books.
But yeah I am a misanthrope, you're right on that front. I'm too tired to do much but occasionally rant online about how much we suck and how fucked the future is though, so I'm not some millitant moron with a quest, lol.
Chronic fatigue and a disability that fucks with my ability to talk have basically taken care of that ever happening, not that I believe it would do anything but make me look stupid if I tried tho. And that's not to mention all the trauma that's left me so freeze state avoidant.I don't know how comforting you find learning about how fucked we are climate and resource wise, but if knowing this will all end soon is any sort of relief for you, read on because we're rapidly running out of fresh water and arable land and current predictions suggest that by 2032, we'll cross 450ppm or so of atmospheric c02.
Phytoplankton, particularly those with calcium carbonate shells like coccolithophores, are highly sensitive to ocean acidification caused by rising cO2 levels.
When atmospheric cO2 levels exceed 450-500 ppm, ocean pH decreases, making the water more acidic.
This process reduces the availability of carbonate ions, which are essential for these organisms to build and maintain their exoskeletons.
They produce 50 to 80% of the planets oxygen. And are a staple in the food system.

You are right, we are all mad here. I agree with you. Empathy and compassion is mocked and exploited, vegans are treated like a joke. Freedom fighters, activists for equality, climate and genocide protesters, etc, are treated like stupid and evil terrorists.
Our species sucks and we fully deserve this climate apocalypse we've created.
We are predisposed to be cruel and greedy locusts, who build and support systems of inequality with undeservingly powerful leaders who only ever lust for war/more. This is the story of nearly every human civilisation we have history for. Those who strived for a better civilisation are destroyed by those who want conquest, money, power, a leg up with their gods, etc.
I hope beyond hope that we fully die out before any of us get off world in any meaningful way to propagate yet more obscenities. It's stupid to think that there aren't trillionaire funds currently working on this, I don't think it was just a punchline in Don't Look Up.
And I also hope that maybe one day, billions of years from now, when the earth has had time to heal from the damage we have caused, something better than us could evolve here.
- Comment on If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan. 1 week ago:
We do the best we can to reduce harm and suffering.
Modern life is not vegan by nature, human infrastructure destroys animal habitats, human pollution is destroying the planet. Our species is responsible for the deaths of trillions of animals. Our existence is complicity.
Doing what I can to avoid consuming products of animal suffering is never going to be enough to counteract the majority of humans who revel in it. Especially as it's them who've built/control/condone the broken systems this world is running on and will be ending due to.

Do you have any idea how long waiting lists are for adhd and autism assessments? Or how likely adhd is to be overlooked and treated as a personal failing in POC and girls/women?
- Comment on Children as young as 11 tempted to try betting after being ‘flooded’ by celebrity endorsement 2 weeks ago:
I don't know, honestly I was just guessing it was linked to various gene expressions. Many folk with adhd are very susceptible addictions, so I was kinda assuming if there was a gambling gene so to speak, it would be linked to that.
- Comment on Children as young as 11 tempted to try betting after being ‘flooded’ by celebrity endorsement 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but actually addressing the route cause of addiction would require isolating the genes responsible and removing them, which is basically eugenics, no?
The other way of combating this would be for quality of life to increase dramatically across the board for everyone, as debilitating addiction is a trauma/stress response. But no government is going to do this, so it's probably going to be eugenics if it is attempted.

Teenagers with adhd are going to suffer if they can't self medicate with an easily accessible and relatively safe substance like caffeine.
