Why? I don’t post stuff so I don’t really care either way, but free vpns are so easy to find and use and the paid options aren’t that expensive either.

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.
- Comment on Entering hyperspace 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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.

- Comment on The Epstein Scandal Finally Takes Down a Politician 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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 love it when weird usa products are in memes, I get to play detective in the comments to figure out what it is and why it's funny.

Lmao, yeah no it's really not as simple as that.
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 5 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 5 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.
- Comment on Under-16s to be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks including Monster 5 weeks ago:
Teenagers with adhd are going to suffer if they can't self medicate with an easily accessible and relatively safe substance like caffeine.

Coupled with their recent micro-miniskirt post, I'm struggling not to believe this account isn't some kind of altright tradwife training kink.

Anyone else see this post and realise they still have ptsd from wearing similar to a club once and sorely regretting it because random drunk men spent the whole night trying to put their hands up your skirt?

Piefed doesn't let me post images off my phone into comments but I uploaded it to an emoticon directory here, it's a little way down the page but you'll recognise it when you see the multioculars.
