Random Thoughts 3: A Little Bit of This, and a Little Bit of That...

[BenitoChavez]

I'm getting some interesting advertisements on CFC. I've seen a bunch for the FBI hiring special agents and a few for opening an account at Deutsche Bank. I'm don't know how my browsing habits triggered that specific combination of ads to pop up. Maybe I'm spending too much time reading the OT forum

I found out about a streaming service here in Canada called CraveTV last night. It's cheaper than Netflix and honestly, I'm kinda tempted.

But I'm not sure I want to take on that cost. I watch a lot of media but I would probably get antsy if I didn't "get my money's worth" equally between the two services each month.

It has HBO, though! And The Handmaid's Tale. And Letterkenny. And really, just a bunch of stuff Netflix doesn't have.

It's a show so it is not really incest. In game of thrones there is quite a bit of brother/sisterly love too. You have to get past thinking that everything you see on your phone or computer is real...

Is your post real?

(I might have been watching the Wachowskis' masterpiece series too often this year, maybe)

I think they probably knew deep inside, and that's what made it extra-spicy for Luke. It's like that episode of Angelika Kallwass, where a brother and a sister who were raised separately and then fell in love now knowing that they're siblings. At least that's what we're made to think, but then it turns out the guy knew all along and that's why he even started having a relationship with her, and then she's like: "Yeah, I realized that something's weird, but it felt good.", and in the end they're told by Kallwass to stop dating because that's not allowed and they're like: "Alright, I guess. Let's break up." - and that's where the episode ends. But in my brain I know that they kept having sex with each other, and she probably got pregnant shortly after. And the baby was fine too, just a bit slow and with an awkwardly large head, but otherwise it's fine, so it's a happy end.

Pretty kinky.

Considering the replies:
Well played.

Something is very wrong with me (apart from the mutant stuff).
I've had trouble falling asleep every now and then, but now it's becoming a real problem. Roughly twenty hours of sleep over the past week, and half of those hours were spontaneous one hour naps when I was really completely exhausted.

And yes, I went to a doctor. His best guess was that it's psychosomati because I just learned about he mutant stuff.
Plausible. A problem that will maybe fix itself in a couple of days.

 

[Synobun]

The best thing I ever did in regards to sleep problems was to completely ignore the doctors and do what worked best for me. They would pretty much all universally shout to the skies that the way I do it today is horrendous but my sleep quality has gone up considerably while all of their ideas made it worse.

Which is all to say, maybe it's a good idea to experiment a little with different sleep strategies and see what happens. If it's psychosomatic, you'll get results (even if the results are bad).

I'm really sorry you're having sleep difficulties @GoodSarmatian, I know how terribly frustrating that can feel. Sometimes I wake up at like 12 or 1, and no matter how tired I am I just can't fall back asleep, until like maybe 5 am when I'll be getting up in half an hour, lol. Those nights feel very long and stressful, and it's just awful when you have like several nights in a row like that, right? It's like you're really super tired, and you don't want to get out of bed, and you're imagining you're going to fall asleep any moment ... but it just never comes, you know?

One of the only things that's worked for me, is I get up and read a book for about half an hour, maybe like 20-30 pages and hopefully finishing a chapter. That seems to reset my mind and helps me to drift back off to sleep when I go to bed. My main problem is I often feel just too tired to do that, so I just lay awake for hours and hours, lol.

I do feel even when I have those nights, I'm not super tired or running on empty or anything. I did get a couple hours of sleep I guess, and I was resting all night even if I didn't sleep most of it, and even after a few days I'm still feeling mostly normal.

I hope you're doing okay and you get back to your regular sleep pattern soon!

Aye I know the feeling. Way too tired for anything, but sleep never comes. But my insomnia used to be a lot worse than now thanks to my magical pills. I still encounter sleepless nights now and again but I'll mostly get a decent amount of sleep before I have to get up now.

 

[Hygro]

I'm late but,

Oh no. I've taken the bait.

 

[Synobun]

I'm right on time but,

I'm late but,

 

[Snerk]

I don't know this game and I feel left out.

 

[Synobun]

Set yourself a calendar reminder for a year from now. By then, Hygro and I will have different avatars and this exchange will be even more confusing.

I think you should stop this folly at once and only engage is stuff I can join and feel included in.

Of course.

How does it feel being Danish?

According to my Danish daddy-o, it's all that and a bag of chips(probably pork crackling or something)..

The best part of waking up is immediately going back to sleep

The best part of waking up is immediately going back to sleep

It's like that Neil Sadaka song, "Waking up is hard to do".

 

[Broken_Erika]

Wasn't that a Sum 41 song?
