I keep finding out about web browser features by accident. Did you know that (in Firefox anyway) if you click the little speaker icon that shows that a tab is playing sound, it mutes that tab and only that tab?
Wow, I mean... That's actually kinda handy. Huh.
Safari and Chrome have similar things IIRC, though I believe Safari's works the opposite way (where it mutes everything but that tab).

Am I the only person with sleep phobia?

It seems that I am the only person I know of who gets a lot of fear and anxiety before sleeping and suddenly either outright can't sleep, have disturbed sleep, or absolutely refuse to sleep.

The closest is a cartoon character (Gale from Bob's Burger who describes that she is afraid of dying in her sleep)
It depends; are you afraid of sleep? Or do you just get generalized fear/anxiety of other things popping up right before you sleep? Because the second one is remarkably common; for many people that time when you have the lights off and are laying down in bed is really the only time many people's brains are actually alone with their thoughts, which can lead to the feelings of your mind running in circles and, in the event you have been dealing with stressful things, quite a lot of stressful feelings. If that's the case then I suggest just giving yourself some time to just be alone with your thoughts during the rest of the day to help your brain work stuff out before you actually lay down, try to stop doing things a bit earlier before bed to give your brain some more time to wind down, and maybe some potential meditation "quieting the mind" techniques that you can run through right after you lay down to help get your brain actually ready for sleeping.

Of course if it's a generalized fear of actually sleeping then you might want to meet a psychologist or something similar. I personally don't know of anybody with that fear off the top of my head, but I do know that it certainly does exist for some people and that, just like any other phobia, it is possible to treat it with focused therapy.

> sleep phobia
Maybe this is why "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take" was invented. Personally I found it creepy as hell, but hey!

Hasn't that always been the case? I mean he had a boyfriend and then a girlfriend so it's hardly a stretch.

Does this mean that a purely female-inclined person is someone who has specific endearment towards both fine bone structure and vagoos?
Which is still a statistically-significant chunk of that particular Venn diagram.
Just makes me wonder on the other Venn diagram of Hetero-inclined males how many would be equally attracted to bishounen or whatever the non-offensive word for masculine women is.

No idea Why I'm wondering this.
I wonder how long it'll take until Bi/Pan/Sapio/et al are the majority of the population.
I'd say it's a foregone conclusion but afaik it hasn't happened yet. Heck even on this forum the populations are heavily weighted towards cispeople.

No idea Why I'm wondering this.

Most. Punchable. Face. Ever.

And speaking of femininity in women, what the hell is that person right behind him? Is that a *spectacularly* shovel-faced woman? Because it looks like a man in drag.

> love of cocks
But is it really a love of cocks? What I mean is that you said that you're gay, but are you straight for chicks with dicks?

Like actual intersexed people? Or just men who identify as women?

Eh, you could say that I care more about someone's personality, personal higyene, body weight/proportions and general feminineish appearance than their actual gender and genitals, unless of course they happen to have teeth/claws down there, thats a total dealbreaker :v

Not being Stephen Fry helps, too.

My laptop charger is inconsistent. Sometimes it works on the first time, sometimes it requires me to wiggle the cord a bit after plugging it in, sometimes it just refuses to charge the laptop at all.

Bohandas: I mean transwomen prior to genital reassignment surgery (our if they've chosen not to have that surgery).

That's still gay
