It probably is, and fixing my poor sleep hygiene would get me better sleep, but I am sleeping enough and medicated enough to get by. However, as it becomes winter where I am, I have to be more careful. I definitely have to get 8+ hours in bed, though.
They literally brought him to a therapist when they noticed he was withdrawn and his grades were slipping, which is more than a lot of parents would do. Maybe they should have taken more control of his phone, but they were ignorant of the situation happening.
No, they just believe in the honesty of people. Well, that and they probably also figured that having an aggregate of answers and the upvote/downvote system, they can ferret out a response.
No, if they want to be gendered appropriately, they should have it in their username.
though I’ve been saying “munis” for short.
“comms” is my go-to.
I always railed against this. I’m using clockwise-lockwise from now on.
They show up italicized for me, iOS Thunder app
And we’re holding big oil accountable for this double hurricane that just happened right?
Right?
protects students from being compelled to salute the American flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.
Students are not being compelled to salute or say the pledge, only stand and be quiet. Teachers are the ones compelled to recite the pledge every day.
It is a law in my state that all students must stand and all teachers must recite. Most of the students recite too, but no one but teachers are forced to.
Yeah, we don’t need a song about war to remind us how we got here, we need a song about togetherness to remind us how we should be.
Can we make a pledge to be a good and productive person?
I have been assigned public service for the same offense when I could not pay my fine. I worked at a food shelter for a couple of days (sorting donations, packing bags with cans, etc) and was good. You may ask the judge or public defender if that’s an option.
I’m not familiar with the whole of the Sodom and Gamora tale - does it mention the devil and can you show me that part?
In countries without capitalism and property rights, the billionaires are the government and the judiciary and the military.
In the US, they just have solidified a really good means of controlling it… I mean, the amount we don’t tax them, the super PACs we let them contribute to, and the control they have over our media are definitely forms of control that may not be “as bad” as other systems (arguably) but it seems like it’s really similar.
I’ve put at least 10 pieces of furniture out on the curb in the last 4 months and they’ve all been taken. It makes me glad that someone can use it.
Yes, and I’m not as narcoleptic as others I’ve heard because I can medicate and function. But I do have one of the smallest sleep latencies (how fast I enter REM sleep) of any narcoleptic I’ve encountered.
I’ve never fallen asleep while doing something truly stimulating. Boring to me tv show or movie while comfy, sleep at 10pm, TV show that has me gripped, binge until 2am. I have a memory from my teens of watching a good movie in the theaters, no issue, but a friend dragged me to see it a second time and I passed out.
Absolutely, me too. If my brain is stimulated, then I’m at no risk (unless other factors are against me).
It was crazy to see the EEG showing me hitting REM with 15 minutes. Sometimes I feel like I’m conscious and experience REM.
Mine was more like 2 minutes. My doctor once called me “extremely narcoleptic”.
Thanks for chiming in and sharing your experience! I used to have a really great narcolepsy community over on R*ddit, and that is one of the few things I miss about that place.
Yeah, for real. I don’t know if you read what I wrote in another response, but one of the factors that affect me having a sleep attack is the amount of stimulation, and that would be enough endorphins to keep me awake. Now, if I’m not medicated, the cataplexy (weakness in the limbs that comes with my form of N) might get me because of extreme emotions.
Fify - the baby didn’t make it.
