It is downright infuriating when people tell you to go to your parents for advice, and your parents don't give a shit, won't even hear you out, or respond with "well, MY problems are worse". This is why I never entirely bought that "family is everything" moral that keeps popping up in kids' films nowadays. Ugh.

Oh, I thought you meant some transhumanism shit. My bad.

I do think that robotic replacements are less practical and farther away than lab-grown organs though. A titanium pump is no substitute for a biological heart, even if it is impressive, basically because it can't respond to signals as living tissue can and it can't grow. They did manage to save a little boy earlier with a tiny titanium heart (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/24/us-italy-heart-idUSBRE84N0XZ20120524) but, even if at this point the artificial one was sustainable over a long period, he would need several surgeries as he grows up to replace it, because it cannot grow with him. (This "heart" can apparently pump 1.5 litres per minute; an adult pumps about 5 - 5.5 litres per minute.) Hearts are also fairly simple organs, really, and an artificial heart mostly sounds impressive because you will die immediately if anything goes a bit wrong with it. But consider a robotic filtering organ like the liver or kidney, or a lung, or an intestine. Dialysis machines are fuckhuge for a reason: these organs actually have very complicated functions that we can't make machines with the same capacity as a fist-sized kidney unless they are significantly larger than your head. There's an "artificial" kidney being worked on right now that can fit inside a person, but it's... it's really more like a box with living kidney cells inside, it's not a mechanical thing in its own right.

Robotic parts have their uses too though, just not when it comes to transplants. Bionic limbs are way fucking easier than growing a whole foot in a lab.

Just as an aside, it's important to not expect meds to be some kind of magic wand that will make everything better--not that you were suggesting that. Depending how serious the depression is, you need to put in a lot of work too.
Broadening your horizons and talking to people you know is good--I would say that the biggest mistake I've probably made in my fifteen-some years of being morbidly depressed is not getting out more, talking, and building some kind of support system.
I've tried essentially every combination of meds known to man, many talk therapists, hypno-therapists, hospitalizations, ECT, TMS, self-help programs, volunteering to help the needy to feel a sense of fulfillment, etc. and flushed thousands of dollars down the drain to no effect, with professionals merely shrugging their shoulders and labeling my case as "treatment resistant." I know that from being a support system for someone else how powerful it can be to have someone there unconditionally (who doesn't require payment), and I feel that that's what's been missing from my efforts to recover.
There are many resources available, some of which are free to use--the national suicide hotline is free, and there may be some free depression support groups near where you live--but this kind of outside help is ultimately limited and can't replace the bonds you have with circle of friends or other support involving people who actually know you as a person.

Sometimes I feel like I only matter to people when they need something specific. A pair of hands to help, someone to entertain them when I'm bored, someone to try to forcibly mold into themselves (so many people trying to coerce me into liking everything they like, or going down their career path instead of trying to figure out what I like), someone to like the Facebook page so they can win something.

Aaaaand now I have a potential stranger in my house. Owner was looking to rent out the newly-empty room, but I didn't know he had made an agreement with someone already.

cough syrup, maybe.
i've been working in lab with the main chemical that creates that puke smell, butyric acid... and i imagine it creates that same great taste.

vomit is more akin to cheese than any fruit flavor, artificial or not. i wonder what the chemical complex is...
YUP. it's an ester of a carboxylic acid.

okay. if you get really low quality artificial grape, maybe they somehow still have the carboxylic acid in there? i dunno. or maybe you're just really familiar with vomit that's been combined with alcohol. that also spontaneously forms esters that are more fruity and less stringent in scent and taste.

tl;dr: Childhood trauma of teachers that wouldn't teach, books that are unhelpful without somebody to explain what's going on, parents that assumed a bad grade meant you were lazy and deprived you of anything not-studying stuff you didn't comprehend on your own until your grades miraculously improved (and they never did, because the teacher never taught) and too much time spent shitting blood and sleepwalking from the stress it caused you from studying stuff you couldn't comprehend on your own.
It has left me with a raw, seething hatred of people that know, but refuse to explain, and instead lob books at you. When you have difficulty comprehending new, complicated concepts from books that don't feel, don't care, or what have you, they don't help. And the more books you read looking for help that don't alleviate the ignorance just becomes a time wasting, punishing, stressful amount of goose chasing. Cannot describe how angry it makes me. Cannot even fathom the depth of my own anger over it without shutting down, or risk a meltdown either in violence or my own insides starting to liquify themselves. So far, there's been nothing close to violence. At least I have esomeprazole to deal with GERD now. The years where stress equaled flare ups and the parents equated 'wigging out from acid related pain' with 'misbehavior that needs immediate disciplining to assert control and correct' were quite unpleasant.

Unfortunately, I need to teach myself this shit in order to learn something that'll let me make enough to escape this unwinnable situation I'm stuck in. The longer I go without somehow managing to learn this shit and become a competent programmer, the longer I have to live the way I do. And all that implies.

On a related note, I came up with a fun and cathartic side project to do alongside my self study! It's an idea for a novel, in the vein of Stephen King's Misery. It's about a math teacher that gets kidnapped by a monster. His escape will depend on his ability to teach.

I feel the same way. I had art teachers point to professional work and just say "Do that." When they did it wrong, it was "Do it again". I get that art is an incredibly hard thing to explain how to do, but no class should have the teacher just say "Do whatever they're doing".

What's even more frustrating is that I had people insist I was bullshitting, because they'd never taken an art class before, or they wer e blessed with only ever having good teachers, so they were claiming "teachers don't do that". Well, they shouldn't, but some do.

HUGE WALL OF TEXT.


there's the baseline social supposition that in any form of communication that both/all parties involved are capable of engaging with the other parties at a level that goes beyond implicit verbal communication. this requires communication through any of the following:

subtext (indirect language), acknowledgment of context (what the situation is or the history of the people they've been through), body language, empathy (feeling for another person), sympathy (acknowledgment and similar feeling based on having experienced something similar), and of course... basic listening skills. not simply waiting to talk for example. acknowledging what's been said by another person.

right. so... if all of that seems rather obvious to you, my bad. but if someone is lacking in all of those faculties whilst in communication with other people, the other people will feel as though they are not actually being engaged in complete conversation. they're not actually being seen or heard.

the dis is doubly awful. 1) it points out a lack of faculties that would allow a person to engage the world in a more meaningful way 2) it places blame for miscommunication and offense solely on the person who lacks those faculties.

if we do wish to continue treating things like autism and aspergers as immutable handicaps, then to be understanding of that is to stop using those words as disrespects. however, i think there's this underlying notion that people have that people who lack empathy or social awareness are just not trying. it's frustrating for everyone and unless we stop treating people with those kinds of handicaps as not meeting the baselines social standards, society will keep making them just as unseen and unheard.

unfortunately, that also means having separate standards that not just accommodate but also normalize and facilitate healthier interactions with people of varying social awareness and social handicaps. people aren't ready for that.

hence the reason that people use words like autistic and aspy as disrespects. people just don't see how much it sucks and it hurts.

that said, i'm hyper empathic. it exhausts me. it drives me nuts. too sensitive to social cues and others' needs. i can't even imagine what it would be like to lack this aspect of me. just the same, when i communicate with people who don't see the full orchestra of ways i speak and only hear me for what's on the surface, i feel invisible. rejected. disregarded. i learned to get over that since i'm not the goddamn center of the universe, but i'm using that as an example of why people may react that way to people who lack social awareness. there's a lot going on and "clumsy people" can knock things over and break them without even knowing it. i'm trying to distance myself from that negative narrative, but uhh... i've been burned before and i'm still working on it.

Gaining/losing weight is way simpler than people make it out to be.

I'm really hungry until I actually see food, and then I think "If you eat, you're going to throw up." So I lose my appetite.

I don't have a tendency to actually throw up (although I feel almost constantly nauseous), nor do I have a fear of being "fat". Sometimes I actually fantasize about being heavier than I've ever been. I've never been a heavy eater, and I have people always trying to shove more food on my plate.

That's the basics, and it's a good start for anyone. However, quite often it's not as simple as that; for instance, if you have a gluten allergy or your body has a hard time processing something or any number of things it can cause your body to store more energy (fat) than it otherwise would, so just eating less/exercising more doesn't always cut it.

Additionally, if your exercise gets to a hardcore level, you actually have to increase the number of calories you take in so the body can keep up with the energy expenditure and muscle development.

So a better way to put it would be "eat healthier/exercise more", because often a major issue isn't eating too much, it's eating mostly junk. Toss the simple carbs (or was it complex? I forget), take less pasta/chips/whatever and more fruit/veggies, switch to lean meat, avoid HFCS, etc.

Then there are things like depression that can stop one from even starting simple improvements that would need to be addressed before or in tandem with nutrition and exercise.

Soooo my mum developed extreme rheumatoid arthritis in just a few days and now she's basically disabled until they can find a medicine that works for her. It's terrifying. She can't grasp anything, can't open doors, can't even pull her blankets back over herself if they slip down in the night. She's been like this for over a month now, I only moved back home for the summer a few days ago but I would have came earlier if I had known it was so bad - especially since my piece of shit sister has decided that throwing temper tantrums with her bf is more important than looking after our mum who has basically been trapped in the house until I came back.

It's really scary, especially because she went from healthy to bedridden in about a week. She's only 50, which although that's old to develope rheumatoid arthritis (it usually happens in your 30s apparently), it's far to early to have your body crippled like this. She's naturally really independent and active, I see the way she looks when she has to call on me to dress her in the morning, to brush her hair or open the bathroom door. It shortens your lifespan considerably too. I hate this.

Went to the doc Wednesday, he talked to me briefly about my anti-depressants and how to wean off them. 10 days at half dose, 10 at a quarter, and then I'm done.

Of course, I'm two days into the first phase now, and I'm having a depressive day. These are days when I just can't be fucked to do anything at all completely, am fairly glum, and find pleasure in absolutely nothing. Thing is, these happened once a month even when I was taking the medication at full prescription, and my understanding is that SSRIs take a week or two to leave the system, so it's highly unlikely this is related to lower intake.

This MILF moved in next door recently. She does this sort of baby sitting thing, I think. Earlier this week I noticed a ball in the back yard, but I was too lazy to go out and get it. I finally went out there today and grabbed it. I looked over the fence to see if anybody was there and then I saw it. She was just laying there on her stomach just in her thong tanning. After I picked up my jaw, I figured I'd just ask if the ball was hers later and not make things awkward when we cross paths in the street. As I stepped away I knocked something, luckily it didn't really make any noise and by the time I had put it back curiosity had the best of me. I looked again, and she had flipped over. And man did those nipples looked delicious! This really brightened my day.

And I thought this kind of thing only happened in movies.

I had one of those "you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back" moments, and it's haunting me. Making me uncomfortable.

I've struggled with an anger problem pretty much all my life. It's been awhile since I've actually lashed out at anyone, but the fact that I even still have these thoughts makes me really ashamed of myself. The big trigger seems to be when someone tries to make me or someone I care about feel like less of a person, like they don't deserve basic human decency. And I want to lash out at the person who said this to me, directly or indirectly, or said it to the people I love, take the person and burn then in whatever place would be the most uncomfortable, beat the hell out of them on national television. But I'd be no better than them if I did that.

First off, get a credit card and be responsible with it. This is 2013: someone will give you a credit card--it might have a TERRIBLE interest rate, and you might even have to go with one of those with no rolling balance, but using it responsibly will build your credit.

Second, you sound an awful lot like someone who has given up and just wants people to listen to you complain rather than someone genuinely trying to find a way out. There are generally options, even for poor people, in civilized countries. There are government assistance programs, youth hostels, and even just couch surfing that will give you a way out if that's what you really want. I don't think my sister's name has ever been on the lease of any residence, and she hasn't lived at home since she's been 18.

Also, the government actually puts in place programs for young people with no credit--First-time Homeowner and First-Time Car buyer programs are available everywhere in the US. They don't reduce the amount of money you'll pay, but the government essentially acts as a co-signer so that you can get loans you don't normally qualify for, and get better interest rates on them. This is setting aside issues like food stamps and low-income housing.

It may not be easy, but it's doable if you have the will for it.

When I admined the forums for a now-defunct-but-once-popular Pokemon fansite, we had a particular issue with a user named "BjarniCool". He would sometimes act like an asshole, but would quickly apologize if someone called him out on it. His IP traced to Iceland (Greenland? I forget. Somewhere north with a different language than English) and he claimed to be autistic or the sort. Since he would apologize quickly, we would tolerate him. Now and then he'd get a day or two ban so he would cool off after something riled him up.

After a few of these bans, and one particular case of drama he caused (I can't remember what), I and the other admins decided that, while we pitied the guy, the drama, friction, and general problems he caused was far more negative on the community than any positivity tolerance towards him might bring, and he was banned for good.

tl;dr: Even if someone has a serious issue, their inability to act like a decent person can cause a lot of problems for everyone and it's not worth dealing with the schisms just to claim "tolerance" or something.

(Of course, BjarniCool might have been a master troll, but he never tried to come back so if he was, he had his fun and moved on.)

Appreciate the sentiment, but in my opinion the entire mindset that sexual equality is some abnormal thing that requires a movement to be viable... is holding society back. It also implies sexism is normal.
If someone truly believes in equality, it'll be easier to fight for it by simply treating equality as a normal thing, and dropping the idea of feminism.

we're using the same word to talk about different things i hope you realize

feminism is a word that has historical value but has come to mean dealing primarily with replacing the established historical patriarchal systems and ideas that are embedded in our culture with ones that aren't so subversive to over half the population.

let me just go ahead and do this:

fem·i·nism
/ˈfeməˌnizəm/
Noun
The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

but since this isn't the politics thread and there isn't a feminism crapshoot discussion thread where everyone gets upset at the name but don't understand the principles and how many generations of feminism deep we are (it's a sophisticated world out there), i'm just going to self-sage and stop posting about this because internet arguments don't fucking go anywhere and just make me angry.

Your "views" involve using a different definition of feminism from the actual one, though. That's like saying "We have different opinions about what 'sandwich' means."

it implies women and men are viewed and treated differently and often women get the shit end of the stick

misandry is an occasional annoyance and only very rarely a threat, but it is (almost trivially) real.
i cannot count how many times i've had to explain that the things that lead to men getting shafted (which is far from the net average of gender suffering) is accounted for by feminists as all of these gender biases are what we're trying to change.
also people can't tell the difference between their taught biases and what they've figured out for themselves using research and disciplined thinking/feeling because they aren't often trained to think critically about their own beliefs. let's face it.

that goes for men and women who think feminism isn't necessary nor ever a force for equal rights.

So the majority of my extended family is quite religious; this includes my cousin, who is roughly my age, and her husband.

If I'm reading this slighty-vague update she posted on Facebook right, she just had her third (fourth?) miscarriage. Her response to this is "We will see our children soon and hug them for the first time in Heaven! :') GOD has a plan!! I'm excited". Not "maybe something is wrong with me medically and I should go see a doctor if I want to have kids."

They're good people, and I think they'd make good parents (religion aside), so I want to tell her "Talk to a specialist about this, you could have a medical condition", but I'm pretty sure it would just make everyone from my extended family hate me, her included.

If I may, I think part of that problem is actually in how men are taught to "approach" women. Or rather that the idea of "approach" is used.

A lot of what guys are taught as far as romance is firmly entrenched in traditional gender roles. The idea that the man is the dominant force is still very much present, and this leads to the concept of "approaching" women, as traditionally, it is perceived that the man should fight to win over the woman. This is a misinterpretation of the need to actually be social; I can't say whether the world's greatest lovers ever had a lot of friends, but studies show that people with larger (face-to-face) social networks have better prospects for jobs, better upward mobility, better quality of life, and just are in general happier. "You can't get laid if you don't talk to people". The problem is that you start talking to people with the sole intent of getting laid, and that makes them dislike you.

In pursuing women, crassly I imagine the best method would actually be to make women want you. To do that, one is actually behooven to pursue the tenants of a good life. Keeping in physical health, having a paying job, having technical assets, getting out a lot, having lots of friends, having interesting hobbies and weird diversions, always having something interesting to do. However, in pursuit of the good life, the pursuit of physical intimacy becomes a bit crass, even vulgar. Cultivation of a wide assortment of interesting people as regular figures in your life is far more pleasant, and actually leads to more chance encounters than dogged pursuit of the phrase "always more fish in the sea".

This is the kind of thing I think Feminism really can help men with, which in turn would help women. So little thought is given to the quality of life and the interaction of partners in the face of "romantic advice". The method more often than not is simply pointing someone horny who's horny at someone who can get them horny and saying "go4it". Which, y'know, no problem with that plan.

As to Feminists taking over the world, I don't think we'll ever see anything reaaaally like the matriarchy take over. Why? because Patriarchy is kind of a false ideological notion, the way the Illuminati are. Yeah, there are people who run the world, but they don't all like each other and sit around in secret meetings practicing their evil laughs. With Patriarchy (and Matriarchy, really), it's not so much that there's a memo going out every month as there's a lot of tiny decisions being made in multiple places where the people making them have not been taught to consider these kinds of things. More properly, a lot of them have been taught to think traditionally about it all.

It's misleading to everyone, including anti-feminists who want an easy strawman, ambivalent people who are not as well informed about feminism and think it's just tin hats, and wannabe feminists who want an easy target to spew vitriol at, and impressionable new feminists whose attempts to find real solutions are misdirected at an entity which is more or less nonexistent.

The word implies that the problem is centralized and comes from an active secret conspiracy that actively teaches men to hate women when the real issue is with regular folks, men and women, and their day-to-day subconscious assumptions having trickle down throughout the generations. For the most part it's a bottom-up problem, not a top-down one. If feminist leaders want things to actually change they need to approach the problem with Hanlon's Razor and educate others that no, we aren't that different from men and therefore it's demeaning to treat us as if we are lesser, and save the condemnation for instances of actual explicit bigotry, like discriminatory legislation, willful ignorance for political reasons, or (to be more germane) people who are actively hostile towards women just for being women and want to do them harm or remove their preexisting rights.

It's why the whole SJ movement on Tumblr is causing way more harm than good. Echo chambers complaining about X shaming and hurling pseudointellectual insults full of misinformation instead of actually trying to educate people on their (usually not actually malicious) misconceptions is only going to alienate more moderate feminists and potential male allies, or worse.

Can I just point out that this type of thinking is the same reason people flip out when they hear the "fem" part of feminists?

It's a literal fact that we live in a patriarchal society. It means that men are more valued in leadership roles and women are expected to follow. Patriarchy is not a sinister group of cartoonishly villainous men out to oppress people for their personal benefit. It's a system and does not have a will of its own. I don't think many people who use this term unironically mean to imply that it is some sort of Illuminati shit.

To make it easy: a patriarch is a person, not a patriarchy. A patriarchy is a society where most or all of the politicial and economic power is in the hands of patriarchs, who are ruling men.

You can say "Communist Russia was an oligarchy" but you can't say "Communist Russia is run by the oligarchy." That's nonsense, it's like saying "The United States is run by the democracy." The only word with the -archy suffix that I can think of that can be used like that is monarchy (and even then I think it is still technically wrong), which I guess is where the confusion stems from. It also seems to be confusing for men who don't understand what the word means because they tend to get real fucking defensive whenever they hear it. How dare women say that, I as an individual, have any absolute power over them, how dare they say I hate women! THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS. LITERALLY NO ONE IS SAYING THAT. I don't think we ought to stop using an adequate and sensible descriptor because some idiots are too hysterical to listen and too uneducated to know how to use words ending in -archy properly.

Patriarchy with a capital P that does refer to a fictional Illuminati-type group of woman-hating men is pretty much used exclusively to make fun of people who are irrationally scared of that term and also radfems. Also maybe by 13 year old tumblr users who are just parroting shit they don't really get because they're 13.

Pretty much. My technique has always been to be nice to people and talk to them if they approach me, which has unfortunately ended up with guys I was only interested in being friends with pressing hard on me on the subject to date them (assuming that girls who had any interest in interacting them were flirting), almost immediately after we met. When I gave in once or twice, and started dating them, they started pressing me for sex almost immediately after, and that's when they broke it off with me. Because I didn't feel I knew them at all yet. One of my exes wanted me to straddle him or sit on his lap whenever we went out, and I really didn't like it.

It got worse when I started dating a girl, and guys got really nasty about it. "You're not in a real relationship." "You'll miss dick." "How long until you cheat on your girlfriend with me?" We mutually broke up after that, because neither of us could handle some of the comments.

I have depression and anxiety over other things, and this is kind of...making it worse? In a way. If I date a girl again, I don't want people to be critical, and if I date a guy again, I want the relationship to develop naturally.

Where do you live, Pakistan?

We have a queen ruling over us and had a female prime minister, every PM would probably be female if more ran for the position. A huge percentage of local and provincial politicians are female. My town hall is 99% women, there was 1 old guy on the board last time I was there.

So seriously, IDK where you live, I live in a LITERAL matriarchy.

That's a pretty good way to put it. These kinds of ideas percolate down society until sexist notions become normalized, so the best way to deal with this is to point out and confront the problematic aspects and self-realization rather than throwing a shitfit on Tumblr about it.

Canada, and I didn't say "there are NO women with power," I said "men are more valued." Which they are. I don't give a shit what it's like in Denmark because I wasn't talking about Denmark. Also Denmark's political situation is very unusual and definitely does not invalidate what is going on in the rest of the world, and I really don't think that having balanced genders in politics constitutes a matriarchy anyway.

I think historically Scandinavia has had a better track record of treating women like people than other parts of the world, and their feminist movements gained traction faster and earlier than, say, the United States. But you guys were still historically patriarchal. Women couldn't vote in Denmark until 1915 for instance. (For the States, it was 1920, and for Canada--my country--it was 1917, but it took until 1940 for fucking Quebec to get in on it. Just for some perspective, which I think you lack.) Having current female leaders doesn't mean that Denmark is not still socially patriarchal or suffers from its trappings, only that you are more tolerant of having a woman in charge. Looking through these names, the male:female ratio in your political parties is more or less equal (not just the cabinet--which is mostly women--but overall, across all parties). You have matriarchs, but you do not have a matriarchy. Congratulations, you have gender equality in your government. Your country is also ranked very highly on the HDI and everyone thinks it's a great place to live. MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO GIVE FEMINISM A HANDSHAKE FOR THAT, BECAUSE I'M PRETTY FUCKING SURE THAT MOVEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO IT.

You're also doing that thing where you assume every country is like yours unless it's a token Bad country that you hear Bad things about on the news (i.e. Pakistan), and also that because you're on the top you don't need to think about how you got there or if there's still room for improvement.

Doesn't Sweden have like insanely high rates of rape and other such sex crimes? Though that may have to do with the large influx of immigrants who come from from very misogynistic countries where such crimes run rampant.
>> No. 379828
>>379825
It's one of the highest in the European Union apparently, but Scandinavia as a whole isn't Rape Haven. It's just the Swedes for some reason, or at least immigrants living in Sweden. They also might actually not have ridiculously high incidence of sex crime, it's just that because they have a lot of protective laws against rapists so more victims come forward.

Those rapes are mostly women too so it just goes to show that even though genders may be officially equal in a country (Sweden is #1 in the world for gender equality) there is still misogynistic shit to clean up :)

Gee remember all those military conscriptions which targeted only women, and sent only women to die in droves. It sure is hard for women, they make up a huge percentage of dangerous jobs don't they, because we don't value their lives.

gee remember when the military only allowed men because women are weak and helpless and killing is a man's job (as defined by men)? remember that it's still more of a risk for female soldiers to be on the front lines--even with their male compatriots' chivalry taking bullets for them, chivalry being a male virtue imposed on men by other men--because female prisoners of war get treated exponentially worse than male POWs since they've got little baby factories inside that can be abused to high heaven? remember when the draft hasn't been a thing in north america since 1971 but you fuckers still bring it up like you were just conscripted yesterday? remember that it's not a woman's fault that she can't be accepted into the military because of her gender??

remember when guys create legislation that fucks over other guys because women aren't seen as equals???? BECAUSE I SURE DO

If you're going to be smug about your argument, you should probably learn how to communicate effectively first.

It's not socially acceptable to say that, so of course they wouldn't say it. They'd just choose to hire men instead of women when women are equally qualified, give the men who work for them larger raises than the equally competent women who work for them, and generally treat anything feminine as though it were nuclear waste, which are all socially acceptable ways of favoring one sex over another.

Yesterday I went out to run an errand with my dad. I had no reason to do so other than keeping him company, but I enjoyed doing so, and we had burgers together. The guy who manages the burger place is this very tall, buff guy, but he's also incredibly sweet and helpful and friendly.

Then we went home and I took a nap. My brother said that for me to be tired at 2 p.m., I must be nauseous or have cramps or something, but I was just tired. Slept, ate a very light dinner, and I'm going to go to bed once this roleplay with my best friend is done.
