I presume "vibe coder" stands for Visual Besic?

I mean, in all of those circumstances I just hold my breath. I'm certainly not wanting to breath in a bad smell through my mouth.

But if the question is can I elect to breath through my mouth without pinching my nose, the answer is yes. I wouldn't describe it as "shutting my nose," though, so maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

Never felt any impetus to drink, and I have a personal aversion to recreational drugs.

Without thinking too hard about it, I probably get the most joy from learning stuff, especially when it's within a topic of interest and has any level of application to my interests or skills. Bonus points when I make the connection myself.

I see other comments mentioning ADHD, so I'll add that I have a diagnosis for it as well.

Good question, though. It's been a while since I asked myself this, and I'm overdue for a reassessment. Thanks.

I don't block unless it's excessive spam. Informational disadvantage, yadda yadda.

I just exercise the same muscle I use to restrain myself from responding to bait on modern day Reddit, since my account there is still active but not posting (yes, even lurking is technically contribution, but there's too much useful information there for me to justify completely cutting it out).

And for the record, I disagree with block features removing posts from the user on the other end. Public information -> only I get to decide what I do and don't see. Private information -> only I get to decide what I do and don't share. A bit idealistic, but we're talking about a web forum here.

Guess who becomes much easier to brainwash and control when the kids of this generation don't have access to unfederated information and educational outlets?

The adults of next generation!

Fuck this new world order.

The thing is, AI doesn't need to take over the world if the BiG tHiNkErS are so eager to replace humans regardless of its merit.

Didn't even get the joke here because this is how I always imagined genie wishes working.

I wanted to make an ironic, exaggerated comment here, but irony doesn't really work when it is 100% in line with what these people would actually say.

Change is so slow because this country has managed to form and propogate such a thoroughly oppressive system, that to call it out is to only reinforce what the people have been taught since day one.

These "freedom people" want their privilege so bad that they are willing to keep a monarch/oligarch in office who will perpetuate an oppressive system under the guise of ignorance.

Pride, like most emotions or feelings, exists on a range. You can be proud of all of these things, including your achievements; it's the degree to which you carry that pride that determines the "douchebaggery," don't you think?

The sports team, I would say, probably has the lowest "douchebaggery threshold," as the spectator is so far removed from the team—especially for professional teams—whereas the others carry more involvement and/or stake for its community.

I've recently been trying to train myself to lucid dream frequently. The first thing anyone will tell you is to keep a dream journal, and holy shit does it help. Started journaling them on the 2nd of January, and even just a week later I started having very vivid dreams every night. All senses included; and as of a couple days ago, fairly critical thinking (mental math). I haven't managed to have a "lucid dream" yet, but I'll get there.

For the sake of completeness, a lucid dream is a dream in which you've become aware that you are dreaming. Whether you can control the dream or feel that it's vivid is a separate concern.

Pretty cool stuff.

Hi! Unfortunately I got sick for Christmas and had to stay home; but as I was trying to rest, it almost felt like I physically could not keep up with my mind. It felt uncomfortable to think idly, and of course there wasn't much I could do to help that. Not sure if I tried meditating, and if I did, I didn't say "I'm gonna meditate now," if you know what I mean.

I've tried looking it up and the results mostly talk about "brain fog," and while that may have been a small part of it, I wouldn't describe this experience as such.

Has anyone else had this experience? Like normal ADHD brain is exhausting and hurts while sick?
