Remember when we didn't put cases on phones? I kind of wish that trend would come back. Some phones are absolutely gorgeous and slapping an ugly case on it just ruins it.
One of the problems is that phones are so goddamn thin and slippery nowadays that it's hard to grip them without.
I see what you mean. I personally found the camera bump design they have on the Pixels pretty ugly tbh.
In general, whenever a phone has a huge camera bump, it seems to essentially require that you put a case on it. Otherwise it rocks all over the place when you try to lay it flat. Idk.
There is a nerve that runs along that part of your elbow called the ulnar nerve. It gives sensation to your pinkie finger and a part of your ring finger. It runs along the "backside" of your elbow. So bashing your elbow in that area sometimes compresses your nerve there and causes pain/weird sensations in that area. You're directly smashing/compressing the nerve when that happens.
The sensations to the rest of your fingers are from different nerves. One of the other main ones is called the median nerve. It does run along your arm as well, but in a pathway that is not as exposed at the elbow like your ulnar nerve is. It runs along your "elbow pit" area, so bashing your elbow doesn't affect it at all.
But the median nerve is commonly compressed at the wrist. This happens in carpal tunnel syndrome, where you can get pain/tingling/weird sensations in your remaining fingers.
Other nerves can be compressed in other ways, but the above two are probably among the most common.
Check out this image of what nerve supplies sensations in any given area of the arm/hand:
Here is an image that shows where the main nerves run along the elbow. This view is looking at the "elbow pit" head on. The backside of the elbow is essentially behind this image if that makes sense.
I think it's both an anxiety thing and a privacy thing. I also am afraid of something sounding "weird" or not socially acceptable or for someone to judge me for something. And other things just seem to be personal, like things that I like and enjoy. An example is that any one person won't feel the same type of deep feelings I do for a song I like, and vice versa that I won't for theirs.
Ohhh ok. Yeah I know of The Room but I've never watched the whole thing myself. It's just interesting how this particular screenshot is trending from it on here lol.
Are you talking hurricane Milton or a different one? I have really not been thorough too many hurricanes, but Milton was absolutely wild to me. Couldn't even get gasoline for a solid week and some people I knew didn't even have drinking water. It felt mildly apocalyptic.
It's simple, really. There's something about falling back asleep in the morning that feels so incredibly amazing. I swear it's like some sort of drug or intoxicant. But simply waking up later without snoozing doesn't give me a pleasurable feeling.
I am embarrassed by nearly everything for sort of unknown reasons.
Sometimes people ask me what I had for lunch in order to make casual conversation and I have a hard time responding.
Even today, my coworker told me some theory she has on a show we were watching and I wasn't able to really respond much, despite being able to endlessly talk about shows via text with strangers online.
Honestly? I was around 26. I "discovered" alcohol alone, not in a social environment. I've always been a loner so social drinking wasn't a thing for me because I was never social.
Anyway, I was in grad school and had some temporary housing where there was a lot of food and crap people left over in the fridge and pantry. There were two things left over in the fridge that were opened that sparked my curiosity. No idea how old they were. But one was amaretto and I think the other was some wine. Got curious and tried a bit and enjoyed the effects. I had technically had alcohol many occasions prior, but not enough to get remotely near drunk or anything.
Spend the remainder of grad school occasionally binge drinking alone on the weekends to the point of vomiting. Carried on that habit for a little bit after but I hardly ever do that now.
I had actually never really drank socially until very recently. As someone with severe social anxiety, I was surprised at how helpful I found it in social situations. I only had a couple of drinks in these particular scenarios instead of getting piss drunk tho. And again, I am not social anyway so this doesn't happen on the regular. But goddamn. I didn't understand self medicating for anxiety until that.
