@jestdotty would those abnormalities not have surfaced in an EEG though?

@jestdotty thank you, I'll be giving both a try (:

Did you discover these things trying to deal with post-covid vaccine issues too?

@Demolishun I don't think the lack of understanding is malicious as much as it is just a very nebulous thing, and the people actually trying to figure it out are just regular (desperate) people. Since it's not immediately life-threatening, there is little desire to research (among other reasons)

@jestdotty Oh yeah. They're no joke. I've had thousands of those headaches, I had one last night at 3am. It was like an 8/10 but still. I usually just pace around and alternate between pulling my hair out and pressing my own skull like a vice. A few weeks ago I was having around 7 of them per 24 hours (that includes at night of course, you think we sleeping in this bitch???)

I dislocated my shoulder last winter and I'd take that over the headaches any damn day. At least I'd go into shock and pass out from that. Plus it kinda hurt less if I'm being honest.

What blows my mind is how they still manage to hurt so bad even after all this time. You'd think I'd have gotten used to it somehow, or my CNS would be like "chill, there's nothing actually wrong here" but no. Takes my breath away every time.

@jestdotty Always down to try something. You gotta be open minded with this kind of thing as you well know, plus a lot of these things bring great secondary benefits

I would like to know what my neck muscles are holding onto. Every time I get them to TRULY release using IMS, I sob uncontrollably. Obviously I'm holding onto something huge.

I likely have Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hard to diagnose but I'm a prime candidate). I went thru therapy for years, every kind of snake oil you can imagine, chiros, physios, botox, etc, uncovered repressed memories, all that shit, and still. the fucking migraines.

Almost 20 years later they're just as bad and just as debilitating. I spent my late teens and 20s getting fucked up, basically trying to kill myself indirectly with substances and now I just wanna know why. It's fine if I can't fix it, I just wanna know why it happens.

I'll probably die mostly ignorant though

@Demolishun yeah, me too dawg. when I meet someone who has chronic migraines there is ALWAYS this camaraderie that immediately forms, like we both served in WW2 in different battalions or something.

idk how I made it to 30 honestly. I joined a cluster headache support group back in like 2007 when I was just a young adolescent and most of the people I interacted with in there are now dead via suicide, assisted or otherwise. That's all modern medicine has to offer other than opioids, which usually yield a similar result

@jestdotty oh yeah I heard about that coenzyme. I'll be grabbing some for sure. I've been able to stave off this episode by getting my neck IMS needled, but I hate that it comes to that. Same thing last year. It's very unpleasant and I always end up sobbing uncontrollably a few minutes afterwards, which can be embarrassing ofc.

Stupid body, always keeping the score and shit

@jestdotty damn are you me? I've been trying to curb my usual migraine episode with vitamin A, D3 and magnesium.

No dice just yet, but I feel as though a weighted blanket has been removed from my brain. Way less stressed out than usual too. I thought it was the magnesium but this makes me wonder if the vitamin A is the chief catalyst

Certainly see it everywhere too, but I truly think software is dumb because everyone sucks at it from the perspective of the user. Like look at Spotify. Basically endless resources to throw at any problem. They've delivered a basic music streaming service for well over a decade.

Shuffle button is broken, has been broken for almost a year. They just. can't. fix. the. fucking. button. because they're focused on bloated features that nobody asked for, like daily playlists that share mixture of paid promotional music, curated music and stuff you actually might like maybe, mostly so people can share the goofy AI-generated playlist names on Instagram

Bottom line, they're beholden to capital and capital sure as shit doesn't want them spending money on making a stable app that provides its most basic functions. They want new features, they want AI-driven, etc etc

@Jifuna really gotta dipshit proof my workflow, yes yes

I'm a dev and I'm dumb as fuck. I just had the advantage of being dumb as fuck pre-covid19 era, where everyone became dumb as fuck, so I can survive a bit easier.

So you build the thing that builds the build?

The way i use git is so bad. Just because of who i am as a person mainly. I probably have a rant on here about me and that's fair. I have this problem where I will implement pretty much the whole thing on one commit then push it, open the PR and go onto my balcony and spark one up.

Then come back to 5 change requests and schema.rb is in shambles and the linters are coming thru the windows. This is where i truly earn my salary in terms of cortisol production

Just know that I am ashamed

Keep those tears coming

@antigermgerm your gf wants to go to America because her sugar daddy lives there and it's a ticket out of the hellscape you both call a life

It's called a mental health crisis and all the cool devs are having them

Looks dope

The goobers are mad that their fav US military base is getting bad vibes in the press :(

QA/QC are terrorists. And we don't negotiate with terrorists

All my homies fucking hate academia

@retoor don't make me come over there and delete your consciousness

@Demolishun that is so creepy

@Demolishun oh yeah, no question that there are remnants of ancient mammals lurkin around, i feel like it'd be naive to deny that. Especially in our oceans, god knows what's creepin around down there.....

Is it a big furry bipedal dude? Doubt it haha

@retoor yeah cause I don't want to dox myself haha

How fast I can get something out the door

@Demolishun They're all trying to find Bigfoot but instead, finding each other. Actually romantic as fuck

@Demolishun that's a super old recording so I doubt this theory applies, but to me, it looks like a bunch of dudes are yelling at each other in the woods.

I did watch a few docs on ol Bigfoot and noticed how many dudes were spending countless nights in the woods yelling at Bigfoot, trying to illicit a response. Most of the audio captures are replies to their yelling, none of them are heard unprovoked

"do people not understand achievements unless you brag about them"

Yes, 10,000 times yes

It makes a lot more sense for America to have a military base in the Levant than in Italy

She null on my pointer until I'm undefined
