I used to be like that, unable to dream/remember dreams. Turns out that was because I had nightmares and terrors and stress dreams and my brain simply didn’t want to remember them.

I took a shaman drug (that I won’t mention, because I absolutely do not recommend it for anyone ever, and regret taking it myself) over the course of many months, and it absolutely gave me the permanent ability to dream and recall, and even consistently lucid dream (I don’t recall dreams every day, but at least once a week now). I now have a whole town that acts as a hub to get to all the places I’ve dreamed about more than once. It’s kinda fun.

However, these dreams are massively emotionally taxing. I often encounter my mother (the point of the shaman drug is to interact with dead ancestors), so I’ve relegated her to a middle floor of “my house” so she’s easier to avoid.. those experiences are.. just so overwhelmingly taxing. They do help with some closure stuff even tho I know it’s just my brain making up both sides of things, but it’s draining all the same.

I haven’t worn a bra in decades other than occasional for a nice outfit sort of stuff.

I don’t consider it self-care, I just don’t have boobs worth bra-ing up. Why waste the money for something that does nothing?

Self care is doing whatever makes you comfortable, not what other people say should make you more comfortable.

Lots of people, especially fem-presenting people, would be wildly uncomfortable with their nipples being visible through a tighter shirt, and you know what? That’s super understandable. People give me looks and comments not infrequently. It’s uncomfortable. That’s reasonable. I’ve stopped caring what small-minded people think so I’m over it, but it takes years to get comfortable with that, and that’s the opposite of self-care if it’s not something you already want to do.

Good news, seems they did it themselves. Either that or I’m intensely confused by this thread..

Currently reads “Left-wing Democrat stuns former governor in NY mayor primary”.

Oh sure, 8 at a time, even, though they can only get good leverage on three at a time. Also lots of arms for picking crops, so you can see why they’d want to bring those farms here. Very cheap labor.

So my car is well old enough to not have this problem and I thus have no reason to know it, but would that fix a failing battery that won’t take a charge? Even enough to get the doors unlocked, I guess?

While I do agree with you, they were locked out, not in.

They got lucky and one door unlocked briefly and opened, but the issue was a failing 12 volt battery.

I’m sure several keyless entry vehicles that don’t have backup keys would be stuck with the same problem in the event of a full battery failure.

Holy shit cuomo sued for the gyno records of his accusers??? I really hope he lost that but I don’t want to look and be disappointed..

Oh good I was hoping everything would get scarce and more expensive!

Eh, we don’t need him contaminating all the research, plus all that hot air would speed up melting.

No, let’s throw him in a little dingy with a half-collapsed roof (inflatable life raft for ships sort of thing) and set him adrift at the point furthest from any land.

If he makes it to shore alive and without help, we let him live the rest of his life in peace. But broke, cuz his whole family needs to be stripped of any monetary gains of office.

We keep drones circling to record everything, and broadcast it globally as pay per view, and use the funds to track down and return all the people he deported.

Idk if I have a fave deep sea creature, I’ll have to think about that.. but I’m rather fond of coconut crabs. They steal shit from people, and are enormous.

I often do a mental check before bed to make sure I ate something that day.. sometimes I haven’t, and I debate going back downstairs to make something, because if I do go make something I often won’t eat it..

Childhood me used to keep spiders in big buckets. I’d catch bees in those little gumball machine eggs, shake them a bit to disorient them (yes I now realize how fucked up this was to do, but I was like 6-7) and feed them to my spiders.

So yes, they do, at least in certain situations.
