This is the answer I was expecting to find. Between people it makes nauseous and people who don’t have they eyesight for it, there’s enough trouble to skip.
- Comment on It improves the morale of the future worker. 4 hours ago:
abused by both their patients who lack the mental faculties to know what they’re doing and their workplaces
Oh theres a number of patients who are of fully aware of what they are doing who are happy to have a chance to abuse someone they see as below them (either because of classism or racism or sexism).

Five years feels like an excessively long time especially if someone had a one off due to illness, or a condition that is well managed medically. I wonder if there is an appeals process.

I’m on the very realistic visualization end of these and I wouldn’t say that I see anything with my eyes when I’m visualizing. It’s more like I have a viewing room in my mind that I can expand, or push away as I need, in a similar way that I can change the volume of the voices in my mind.

I’m a 5 on this scale (maybe a 4 if I’m distracted, processing other stuff) and I have a big component of kinesthetic sense and some emotional tone comes into play. It actually often takes work for me to turn ideas into words. This gets harder if I’m tired or sick or something.

“end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night anyway.”
This is still better for you than not resting. There’s been a tumblr meme going around that the MythBusters and Deadliest Catch crossover episode showed that just laying down and closing your eyes even if you do not fall asleep resulted in huge gains in cognitive function over not resting.

I call it apartment gravity. The gravity in my apartment is just way way higher than the rest of the world. What can I do but sit or lay around.
- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 3 weeks ago:
Honestly lots of them grew up and realized that what they were doing wasn’t healthy for anyone including themselves. Neil Strauss wrote a second book detailing how PUA exacerbated his trauma and poor mental heath.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 3 weeks ago:
My life was changed when I stopped going to the gym for a long hard work out and switched to what I call “strength snacks”. I do two circuits of three exercises twice a day.
I think that walking can be a great start. But also doing some sort of resistance exercise is also important and useful. You can start with a body weight routine and move up to weights once you are solidly into the routine.
- Comment on How do I finally get a long term career and become financially independent? 4 weeks ago:
I mean , a minimum competence is the bar. I’m not recommending someone who is going to make me look bad if they get hired. But if you’re ok and my friend, I’ll recommend you and it’s more likely you’ll be hired over someone really good, but who doesn’t know anyone.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if someone tried claiming damage to their personal car?
- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 1 month ago:
I would encourage more than 2 hobbies. It can be very difficult to feel satisfied if for some reason you can’t engage in one of your hobbies (I speak from experience).
