You are mistaken. One is British, the other American English and I am from neither country. Wir können uns in Zukunft auch gerne auf deutsch unterhalten, wenn dir das lieber ist.

Had to look up these rhetorical sins and learned something new today, thanks.

Ja scheiße, mein Fehler. Ich bin halt fest davon ausgegangen, dass das Satire war, weil es sich genau so gelesen hat.

Going for net-impact, interesting.

I see the point you are making, or I am interpreting too much into it, but I don’t think discussion about subjective, highly variable day-to-day things is useless. Sure, every human is influenced by a lot of factors, but in my opinion there is still something to learn from this. I know I did in less than an hour already.

I am an idiot.

Downvoting anime is always morally correct.

[I am being hyperbolic here, relax before calling out my hypocrisy]

I see you are a bigger person than me (I genuinely mean that, because this can be seen as sarcasm)

Ohh, marking replies as read is something I will implement. Never thought about that before.

I don’t know, every time I read “might” or “may” in these science articles it doesn’t carry that much weight.

Not trying to defend him, but I never understood why swearing is such a big deal for Americans.

Because neither are, or can be true as long as there is a single person of these professions with the heart somewhat in the right place. That doesn’t mean there isn’t alot to criticize, but hyperboles are not the right, nor effective way to do so. You’ll never get a person to admit they were wrong by vastly over-exaggerating.

To be honest, as much as I hate that word, these acronyms are just cringe.

I was on .ml first after leaving reddit, because I didn’t know this was the case, until I called out straight up state propaganda and defended capitalism with social and ethical policies once. You can imagine how they responded to that.

I realized .ml was fucking insane and delusional when they glorified Stalin and refused to recognize the atrocities he committed.

No matter what your political stance is, as soon as you deny negative facts and exclusively push the “positives” it becomes a problem and may radicalize you (if that isn’t already the case).

What happened to nuanced moderate politics? It seems people unconditionally put the “left” or “right” label on themselves. And ironically these blind followers will have the audacity to call anyone close to the political center, or people who are honest with themselves, cowards.

I was going to say that unfortunately strong (often illegal or prescription only) stimulants are the only real answer to this, but as you mentioned, you’ve already tried your ADHD meds, which are either amphetamine or methylphenidate.

So there are only obvious things left, like cold showers and caffeine (400mg max/day), which can also be dangerous, because your heart is already stressed. I think naps (up to 3 hours) will only make things worse, because you are unlikely to be in REM and deep sleep for a significant time and heart strain will spike after waking up again.

Be careful and check your pulse and blood pressure, if you can. Pressing two fingers right below your wrist for pulse and feeling your heartbeat pounding in your neck indicates dangerous blood pressure if you can’t accurately measure these.

And most importantly: As soon as you get dizzy, have chest pain, or in the worst case, feel tingling or numbness in your left arm and/or neck, you MUST stop, lay down in the recovery position and have someone check up on you or call an ambulance, as these symptoms can be early signs of a heart attack.

“You’ve met me at a strange time of my life”

Might not be exactly correct, but I can’t believe no one has posted this one yet.

I am convinced most people aren’t religious, or at least agnostic. If they truly were they’d not be living like they are and wouldn’t give a shit about anything but their holy book. I call it being alibi-religious.
