Hey be nice to them, that's actually written in chapter 420 of Das Kapital, "Thou shalt save the world by being dicks online"

Ohh so melatonin leads to adenosine production, which caffeine blocks. so NO SLEEP is the smart bet. that makes a lot of sense, yeah! and when you think about it, coffee at night is gonna make for poor sleep no matter how much melatonin you take.

So caffeine binds to adenosine receptors to block adenosine's drowsiness effect. Melatonin binds to melatonin receptors to regulate circadian rhythms. As far as how adenosine interacts with melatonin, no idea. I'm no biochemist and what I'm about to say could be 100% incorrect, but it seems that adenosine is involved in melatonin production?

So if it's true that adenosine leads to melatonin production, then I'm guessing that the adenosine-blocking effect of caffeine would be (partially?) negated by ingesting a melatonin supplement, especially in the massive doses that they sell.

My money is on SLEEP. [I got it backwards!! See below replies.]

Yeah, totally, unbiased reporting to advocate for those poor vulnerable ISPs....

Some good interactions here. Cant speak to the emotional content because I wasn't present. Emotions are messy, who knows what happened between you two.

All I can say is that the relevant parties saw your conditions of living and recognized them as the risk factors that they are. You living well, and choosing that life, is a pleasant outcome. But they can't know that without doing a follow-up assessment. For all they know, you're living in your car scraping up railroad spikes to buy today's heroin.

Highly disagree with the advice to lie to your doctor. As long as you are not a danger to others, making explicit threats to harm yourself, or harming a child, and as long as you're following the laws, then they can't force you to get services.

Next time, just tell them that you've already been assessed and were found to not be at risk. And if someone stops by, be friendly... they're doing a really hard job that puts a lot of good into the world for a lot of people. Take any pamphlets they got cuz it might be useful knowledge. Educate yourself, etc. And keep on truckin! Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the response!

If all people involved in something fully understand and consent to what is happening, then they should not be “judged” for it.

Here's the thing: this statement still hasn't entered into non-judgment itself. When you use the word "should" you're already holding one thing higher than the other. And again, this is natural for us to want to do! But who is consenting to this moral framework in the first place?

That's more than a loophole or caveat -- it's a limitation of all judgment. Judgments don't exist in the world; they are passed by judging creatures. So the only way to find a world without judgment is to, at the very least, practice separating yourself from your own judgments. Seeing the world for what it is, we can pause in our concern for what ought to be.

Mostly in the denser, more developed, city-like areas

I feel this one bud ❤️ its manageable condition, don't give up hope, and remember that no human has perfect perception

if you hinge your life satisfaction out of how much power you have over others, imagine how satisfying life could be if you focused on the things that are actually in your control!

good news! a lot of those skills can be trained, even for someone with adhd

world at peace and free from drugs

simple pleasures

this might sound cliché, but what if the start of non-judgment is within yourself? you've already judged society to be too judgmental!

I dont mean to play tricks with you. this is the central struggle of having a mind. we constantly evaluate everything!

bummer I was gonna offer the first part but i fear it's contingent on the second part

the only thing that could "make" me happy is a change in mindset, perhaps forced by brain damage.

as far as how I will make my own happiness, it comes down to making choices informed by my own values, painstakingly discovered through mistakes, introspection, and connections with others

TES6 isn't out yet? neat. wouldn't know, cuz fuck Bethesda

it still blows my mind on a daily basis, the arrogance of humans to think they not only know what their creator-god wants but can sway "Him" with some fucking magic words

I always notice when people match their shoelaces to their shirt color

Yea that's not quite the right word... there isn't a better one though. What I'm trying to say is that a lot of the white women who do get picked up for shoplifting, they "look crazy", for lack of a better term.

all this is to say that i agree with your insight, and hadn't considered that was the root! it's about appearing non-threatening. unfortunate realization.

neurotypical white women can get away with shoplifting... if you look crazy, you end up in my office trying to beat the rap
