Yeah it's hard to say. There are, at least, a couple of things you can do to mitigate the problem without any professional help

Sleep apnea is also a potential

If your diet isn't particularly great I would make a serious consideration to changing your diet, especially if you're getting into your 30s. Lower your carb intake. Get lots of fiber and protein in you consistently.

The hardons haven't been colliding fast enough. Sorry boys, I don't make the rules

An absurd amount of marketing, mainly. Very easy to shove YA/childrens books down kids throats, they don't have a lot of natural exposure to literature. Fuck, eragorn was the best example of the YA industry pushing a bad series (they even tried a movie series), I remember loaning it from my school library and being legitimately confused as to why it was becoming popular. I ended up finding a weird romance+fantasy series at the time that I largely consider as not being actually good, but remember finding it way more engaging. Maybe it's better now that kids are largely terminally online.

It's really my biggest gripe with it. There's better fantasy, better wizard centric fantasy, and better YA books out there. It's not great by any means, and I'm not surprised that I dropped the series without finishing it as a kid because I was reading much better stuff by the time the last few books came out.

 

Recently an online game I play revealed much of their changes for the next patch. For the specific content that I like to interact with, it seems like theres a rather large (and probably not intended) change to this content that is not only a big "nerf", but also seems to go against the studio's design philosphy. I've made posts and comments talking about it, but the thing I keep running into is people just downvoting what I'm saying into obscurity. I have people interact and with people that are dismissive I iterate exactly why, which very specific information, its not just some small change... and what I get back is a downvote, and really nothing else. I literally upvote everyone that responds, no matter how antagonistic, simply because I want to talk about it and appreciate the interaction, but it seems like people when confronted with information that makes them feel like they had it wrong just reflexively downvote.

Its incredibly infuritating. So yeah, thanks hexbear for doing away with fucking downvotes, this shit seems so toxic and I'm glad I've always relegated reddit into mostly a space where I look up relevant info for whatever hobby, or information about products that I need.

Very easy if it was an earlier model, although I’ve seen some of the newer modchips make soldering about as simplified as possible (but still kinda hard, it’s a tiny board to be fiddling with). I literally hacked my current switch with some aluminum foil and tape (my jig broke, I guess), and besides all that all you need is a decent microsd card and the willingness to follow directions

What the fuck are you talking about, have you even looked at his posting history? Save this bullshit for Reddit

It’s her turn

The only problem is that I can’t convince my friends/roommates to embrace the media center piracy box. Literally the smallest level of extra work is too much. I’m not sure how to make it easier

Banned for making bad (and kind racist) “xinnie the poo” jokes, lmfao

“ Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.”

 

Step one: buy some wheatgrass seeds (also known as berries). You can find them at pet stores but health-focused grocers will probably sell them two.

Step two: get a pot with a drainage hole and some potting soil that drains well. If you want you can just grab some dirt from outside (as long as it's not very clay based) and use whatever pot you have on hand, but better drainage will help prevent over watering

Obviously you should have some sort of drip catch on the bottom on the pot if this grass is growing indoors

Step three: put the soil in the pot and don't pack it down at all. Lay a heavy amount of seed on the top layer, and then cover the seed with a paper towel. Use a dedicated water bottle with a mister and keep the paper towel lightly moist.

4: Cover your pot with a little towel or whatever you want. The idea is to keep the seeds in the dark while they germinate. Within a few days you should see the seeds sprouting, at which point you remove the paper towel and whatever you are using to block light and continue to mist, but now directly on the seeds. At this point you need to either leave the seeds somewhere with plenty of direct sunlight, or you need to buy a little USB growlight to keep them happy.

Do not even think of watering until these sprouts reach 5-6 inches of height, just mist them (more heavily over time if you need) to prevent over watering. If it's above 80f where you live you want them inside. 90f and above will kill them outright.

5: Within a week you should have some very aggressively growing wheatgrass. If you are using a growlight... Congratulations! You can now touch grass right at your desk. Take that you smarmy bastards. NO I WILL NOT LOG OUT, YES I AM TOUCHING GRASS.

6: After about two weeks of growth you may find the grass beginning to look less happy. This probably means that your soil doesn't have enough nutrients. Luckily there's this awesome fertilizer called PISS. That's right, just dilute your piss at a 10:1 ratio with water and you'll be giving all the nitrogen those bad boys need (feed them piss maybe once every two weeks, or dilute 20:1 and give it with every watering). Any fertilizer with a heavy nitrogen amount will do well, and generally anything sold for a lawn that's got most of its nutrition base in nitrogen will be great. Fish emulsion works well too, but will not smell good so yeah... Keep in mind.

There you go, now you can touch grass right at the comfort of your desk. Logging off is for smucks. Also, your indoor cat will thank you.
