Count from 1 to 10, then 10 to 1. With each number, relax your body a little more. When the mind strays, bring it back to counting. Repeat until unconscious.

If that isn't working at all, get up, go to another room, play soft music at low volume on headphones, and depending on the circumstances read a book, jot stuff down, or just contemplate stuff. Chill until sleepy, then either go back to bed or just curl up where you are.

Me again.

Epilogue

Yep. Tried to make it all about me too, what with the crying and shitting myself.

"Fuck you Stanford, yer mum's complaining about me dropping packets but it's hard to keep things flowing when UCLA's mum keeps using up all my bandwidth"

This guy ethnographys.

It's available via Wayback (albeit not fully functional), so you know what? Yes!

MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

(I was hoping for cool little weird corners of internet history, or just regular people who used to have websites for interesting reasons, but I'll take proto-memes too)

Damn, that's a good question. Like a 6 or 7 on this scale, all told? Parents were good, wasn't spoiled but didn't want for much, some tension with my dad at times/impact of necessary absences due to military lifestyle, but he was generally a good dude.

Idk - I look back on my childhood fondly more or less.

Probably going to come back with other Wayback links of interest between today and tomorrow, but in the spirit of some of the responses so far:

REAL ULTIMATE POWER

Best paired with the following on repeat: https://youtu.be/zh1GCx2CcKM?t=0m48s

There's a very particular warm, relaxed feeling I get whenever I visit this website.

I call it Zombo Calm, and it's something special.

I fuckin' love me some Time Cube. Great pull!

Dang! Works for me, but admittedly takes a bit longer to load than other links I've used. Is it giving a specific error, out of curiosity?

If truly hopeless, bask in this glorious homepage image:

I mean, I have reason to believe they're not the most recent, but recentish:

The Varieties of Religious Experience
The Matrix
Julie Kavner
LAGEOS
Church of the Universe
A&M Records
Paris Syndrome
List of films featuring hallucinogens
I Got Plenty O' Nuttin
Ryan Juanzemis

The FUCK man?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!

Ngl this was my first thought. Or dig out a pair of those ol' soap shoes and do a sick grind (practice first with both of these).

Every serious bullying incident I ran into growing up ended when a kid got popped in the mouth. Every unserious bullying incident made no impact when I knew if it got serious, I could pop them in the mouth and likely come out on top.

I've met way too many adults with personality issues that were a product of adults telling child them "physical violence is always wrong, just tell an adult, be the bigger person" etc. It always needs to be taught as a last resort, and it needs to be understood that even justified violence comes with consequences and other tools must be used first, but when you've done everything you're supposed to and no one is helping to the resolve the problem, sometimes you have to do it yourself.

It ain't pretty, and it ain't ideal, but it's the way it is.

Don't quote me on this (haven't seen it and only pulled partial clips before answering), but I think the audio just runs as per normal. Though it'd be kind of cool to have reverse audio as an option (if in a theatre, idk, have a set up kinda like what folks do for silent discos/some bluetooth device with serious multi-connection capacity or something, and people who opt for it have one earpiece in while the vanilla track plays in the room).

Only aware of it 'cause the rep theatre here did a screening once. Seemed cool.

I mean, this exists, so why not? https://www.screenslate.com/articles/shining-forwards-and-backwards

There's an in-universe argument to be made that the Devil has successfully corrupted the Christian church, its teachings and materials, and has for a long time. It's not a new idea, though contexts have been different.

Not a Christian myself, but I'd see loud propagation of this idea as an interesting counterforce to the current evangelical climate. For those folks who, for whatever reasons, remain Christians but think the outcomes of popular Christianity are fucked, this is a position to fight from.

Anything that bolsters resistance against these particular chucklefucks is a good thing.

Worst I hurt myself: Older, much larger cousin broke my leg by landing on it in a bouncy castle.

Injury that pissed me off the most: At 13, I loved jiujitsu and rock climbing above all else. At my last jiujitsu class before going to California to, among other things, go bouldering in Joshua Tree, I sliced my heel badly on the metal bottom of the dojo door that had about an inch and a half of clearance from the floor.

Shoes in general, let alone those super-tight climbing shoes, were out of the question for two weeks. I'm still mad. Of all the ways I could've got hurt, it was the fucking door on the way out that took me down.
