wake up There’s a new psyop [repeat]
- Comment on Anon watches some reruns 1 month ago:
I have another solution that won’t work for everyone. As I mentioned, I cannot scream… But I can hum. So, when I am having a sleep paralysis episode, I start humming as loud and as long as I can, which admittedly isn’t much. However, it is enough to wake up my husband. My husband now shakes me awake anytime I hum in bed (which I asked him to do).
This solution works beautifully for me, and I no longer fear sleep paralysis. But, not everybody else someone else in bed with them.

That doesn’t sound like what I experience at all. I am paralyzed in both the dream and real life. Sometimes I can even open my eyes and become semi-conscious - yet - I am still paralyzed.

Flailing? Paralysis? You don’t see the disconnect there?
In sleep paralysis, you cannot move. It’s right there in the name. When I’m having a sleep paralysis episode, I try very hard to move or scream. All I can achieve is a humming-like sound in my throat yet no actual motion.
I’m sure what you’re experiencing is horrible, but it is not sleep paralysis.

“Just look at all these pens and ink! I could write so many things: poetry, history, my deepest secrets, a book that changes the world!”
“So, what are you currently writing?”
“Well, nothing…”
- Comment on Is anyone else playing Avowed? What are your thoughts so far? 1 month ago:
I am really enjoying it so far. I’m almost finished with the second map.
So many people seem to hate it for reasons I don’t quite understand. I also really liked Outer Worlds, though.
I’m enjoying the story, the characters, the inventory system - everything everyone else seems to hate. I really don’t understand why other people say the world feels dead. I guess I enjoy not having to run around to find NPCs who are always on the move? (Looking at you, Skyrim.)
Sure, most weapons in the game are exactly the same. But that makes the “unique” ones so much more interesting. I like that I can upgrade those unique weapons, so that they always stay useful. No more quest rewards that are already underleveled when I receive them! (Looking at you, Skyrim.)
I’m enjoying the Balder’s Gate 3 camping system, but I’m glad you don’t need to “spend” food for every night in camp.
My only “problem” is that it feels a little unoptimized. I get low frame rates sometimes that don’t go away even at the lowest settings, especially inside cities. But, it’s relatively minor. I can (and do) live with it.
It feels like a full game with no glitches on release, which is nice.
Although, if your glass textures all look frosted and weird, then turn “global Illumination” up to at least medium.

My grandmother died in a car accident in the early 70s. My mother still has her purse. In it, there is a receipt for her last rent payment (for a house, not an apartment) which was something ridiculously small, around $35. This was rural Tennessee.

“Mio” is one of those products where you squirt a little bit into water to give it flavor. It’s extremely concentrated. Honestly, I don’t know how OP even managed to drink it all without diluting it first. I’ve tried drinking a single squirt of a similar product before, and it was awful.

I’ve heard electric kettles are slower here because of the limits of our electrical system. I do have a kettle for the stove, though. I also rarely drink tea.

Turning zombie virus transmission off and experience gain rate up made it more fun for me, solo. But I do still occasionally play with others and that is fun.

I do believe it’s made with real orange, especially if you’re get it from a street vendor near the beach. Been years since I had it.
- Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor? 6 months ago:
Why isn’t orange (the fruit) ice cream more popular? I don’t mean sherbet, I mean ice cream. It can be bought in Florida, but I’ve never heard of it anywhere else.

Haha, yes, everyone else is trying to ruin my fun. I can fly sometimes, but not for long, and it’s a real struggle to stay airborne.
- Comment on Anon learns how to lucid dream 7 months ago:
I’m glad I’m not alone. My husband barely dreams at all.
- Comment on Anon learns how to lucid dream 7 months ago:
By the purest definition (being aware that you are dreaming), I lucid dream nearly every night. I never did anything special to achieve this.
But, it’s not as fun as they make it sound. At some point, my mind started resisting me. Sure, I can do anything I want… sometimes. However, most of the time, anything I change goes back to the way is was immediately.
I also used to be able to wake myself up while lucid dreaming. For instance, maybe I would be aware that I am napping, and I need to wake up. So, I would. But, my mind now resists that as well. When I try to wake myself up, sometimes I just wake up into another dream. And, for whatever reason, I am not aware that I am dreaming in the new dream.
None of this upsets me too much, but it is annoying. I think it may be related to some sort of mild, generalized sleeping disorder I have. I experience sleep paralysis and insomnia episodes, but they’ve never been frequent or upsetting enough for me to seek treatment.

According to Wikipedia: “One of the reasons why adults emerge in winter seems to be the absence of predators.” Another reason seems to be reproduction, which is probably why the adult form does not eat. They mate “indiscriminately,” apparently. Sounds like a good time.

Oh, I guess it was you who didn’t say fen. But it’s probably more correct to leave “fen” out, at least if you want to be understood. It is not s common word, I had to look it up.
- Comment on Giant spiders the size of rats making a comeback in UK 8 months ago:
As a native speaker, I’ve never heard the word “fen” in my life. So, that’s probably why they didn’t say that.

I disagree. He said “I think [she smelled my fart].”

I’m from the USA, and when I first heard “digga,” I was certainly confused! It seems the youth say it even more than the generation that invented the phrase now.
Anyway, English speakers have an old phrase that is similar and might help some understand the usage of the word “thick” here. The phrase is “thick as thieves” - meaning thieves stick together.
