    I do lucid dreaming all the time, though it has slowly changed form as I grow older. I’ve also hear it can be trained, but I learned it from a nightmare as a kid and don’t really know anything about the training. I just got super angry and went against the intended dream (I was supposed to be eaten) and by doing that I suddenly realized I could do anything. After that I’ve kinda been on the driver’s seat when needed, and somehow always have the manuscript of the dream and the knowledge I’m invincible.

    I usually go with the intended dream for unknown reasons even if it’s uncomfortable and annoying normal day situations, but when the dreams get too bad or boring I start to “cheat” and change things. One of my favorites has always been starting to float around in kinda sideways movement, with the wind lifting me. I like flying too, but it’s much harder to achieve and requires more effort to keep the wind pushing me upwards, usually I have to do several jumps and use stuff like buildings to get enough wind under me.

    These days I don’t always need to even force the changes where as younger I had to really really struggle to force it to happen, now the dreams kinda naturally shift before me? Kinda like my subconscious has somehow become more agreeable and doesn’t try to kill me as much - I don’t know why though, I’ve not been doing any better mentally.








  • That tracks, without any background in coding php is very simple to get into. I’m not a woman, but as a personal anecdote I’ve never done anything outside some self-taught hobby-level web designing requiring html and js, and I only know some php because it’s what was easiest to learn by myself to get the stuff I wanted done.

    I’ve looked into actual programming languages a couple times, but I never get far since I don’t need them for anything and all the tutorials start super boringly and won’t tell about the possibilities you could potentially do; it’s assumed you already know. With php I just knew what I needed and did some web searches and found the answers, and that kinda spiraled into leaning along the way. There’s no way to do that if you don’t even know where to start


  • the prevalence of guns in the hands of civilians.

    We have a lot of guns in the hands of civilians here as well (Finland), but the difference is that they’re mostly hunting weapons and we have strict gun control laws - how you can get them, how they have to be stored, what types you can even have, and all that. What’s crazy about US is the amount and type of guns, how easily you can get them, the ways they’re kept so loosely, and the craziest to me; in some places even carried openly. To an outsider the lack of proper gun control seems to have lead into some GTA type of insanity



  • Yeah I’m trying to avoid MS if possible, especially since I probably have to try to make the jump to linux eventually with how things are going. I probably need to at least try Visio though, to see is it able to do what I want, so far I’ve had no luck with alternatives for it.

    For example draw.io doesn’t seem to work for this (I’ve tried before as well), since I really need easy auto arranging for the nodes for it to be usable enough - and I haven’t been able to do that with it. So far the only thing that I’ve found to work even relatively well for what I want to do has been this even with it’s many limitations, since it allows to just pulling the lines wherever and it will auto arrange everything. When the trees grow to crazy sizes (over a hundred etc.), it’s almost impossible to make things work without the auto arranging, otherwise I wouldn’t even need the tools I’m looking for…







  • Just quickly lean towards their hand and snap your teeth like you’re going to bite. Works with all sorts of unwanted touching, just be ready to actually bite if they’re also nuts and try again to call your bluff. Even if they get angry they’re much less likely to want to throw hands with the high possibility of getting bit hanging in the air.

    The downside is you will look even more insane than with just fork stabs, but on the plus side you will look insane enough people will stay the fuck away in the future too


  • I wish there’d be a proper family tree generator, I’ve been searching for one for so long. All the things existing now seem to be old and made to create actual existing family trees with lots of limitations, but I’d really need a tool to use for world building and that kind of stuff. To allow you create profiles with a lot of data for the characters in the tree, so you could view the info in some easy way, maybe by clicking to open an info window, or something like that. To be able to easily link them to each other with other things than just family relations (like friends, lovers, enemies…). Being able to properly put a picture on the profiles so it would show there in the tree, not just a name. Just being able to properly view the whole family tree at once by zooming in and out would be so nice, and to link it with other family trees etc…

    There are games that have some family tree functions, but I don’t need nor want a gaming experience. I want to do these things freely, not with having to play some shit to be able to unlock something, or to have family trees generated around just played characters. I’ve tried using mind map generating stuff as well, but they have limited features, and it’s difficult to just create branches with them since everything is supposed to link back to one single thing.

    If anyone knows about something like this existing somewhere, please do tell me!
