On that topic of algae wine, on a related note, I heard someone made a patent for mushroom wine, with very specific instructions, because if you do it wrong, you end up with pure poison and on the topic of photosynthetic organisms, Did you ever realize that Plankton ate holographic meatloaf because holograms are light, and plankton are photosynthetic organisms?

It took me a while to realize that you weren't saying that planktons ARE holographic meatloaf

there has been a muscle spasm in my left eye for three days now, I thought it would stop by now but it seems to be happening more often

Too little sleep, too much screen?

I get enough sleep, and I always have other lights on when I'm using the computer so it doesn't ruin my eyes

[Frumple]

Doesn't help much, far as I'm aware (might even make things worse, depending on the light, iirc). F.lux, if you don't have it, is the way to go, or a similar filter. Adjusting screen brightness and color contrast can do a bit, too.

Strange emotional reaction today. Got rejected for a thing and I feel... Odd about it. A little too good and bad for ambivalent, but the sorta grey areas on either end of it.

At least these days you don't have to deal with CRT monitors much, heh... Those things were murder on the eyes.

I had a period of little sleep and big screentime (CRT!) as a tween/teen, which resulted in me getting a twitch for a couple days.

The positive side of this is that I've been able to turn it off and on ever since! So whenever I need to look reeeally intelligent and stable, I can just flip on Ol' Twitchy to complete the effect.

In fact, we might actually skip doing the thing in the first place

I looked it up. I was in... Am in a strong dissociative state. I immediately cut my emotions off and got scientific. It's... Not a good thing from what I'm reading. I am just realizing that I do this a lot. And some of the symptoms of borderline personality disorder are... Familiar. Not sure if hypochondriac or accurate assessment.

Ooh. I would talk to a professional if you're worried, if possible. That's some heavy shit.

EDIT: Kagus said it better than me. I mean to say please don't attempt self-diagnosis, especially with this.

[Kagus]

Also not something that can be easily or accurately self-diagnosed. Talk to a pro, let them make an evaluation. It's hilariously easy to find mental conditions that "match exactly" what you're going through, only to find out that those words in the article mean something completely different to a trained professional.

And even on the off-chance that is what you're going through, that's definitely not a diagnosis that's going to get better by itself. It helps to get help.

Somebody made Pokemon Red in minecraft.

[Dunamisdeos]

How am I the last one to know about Pokemon Red in minecraft everyone already knows about this.

I'm all WTF'd out man.

Yes. I know. Unfortunately, last time I tried to talk to a doctor I immediately went into people pleaser mode and just said the meds were great even though there have been side effects and I'm not taking them properly. And my wife is just stressing me out. Anytime I bring it up its go to a doctor and I shut down emotionally and just agree even though I don't want to go. I just fucking don't. And I think I don't want to because I'm afraid and suppressing it. I don't know.
