I avoided vim for years, from the way people talked about it, sounded like it would be too much to learn programming and at the same time learn modal editing...but I've started using it now because I a course I started on C programming insists that people completing the course use a barebones text editor, no IDE or anything IDE-like with plugins.

Decided why not, this is my chance to learn vim. I've discovered that it behaves like a regular text editor in insert mode, then if I want to practice vim motions I can go into normal mode and practice, adding 1 or 2 new keys or combos every week or two...

Am I missing something or doing it wrong? Other than remembering to change modes this doesn't seem that difficult? I don't know most of the keys or combos but that's not a pain as I don't need to use them?

I feel like people shouldn't be talking about vim like it's this super hard thing with a steep learning curve. So far it has seemed easy to learn at a pace I have control over?

So I understand that the most agreed upon birth dates for millennial is 1981-1996. This however causes an issue where people who were teenagers in the 90's and people who were teenagers in the 2010's are bundled together in a group, supposedly because they share similar formative years. This doesn't seem right to me, if you look at the cultural and political landscapes these people would have gone through. A teenager in the 90's would have been heavily influenced by things like grunge music, a teenager in the 2010's would have been influenced by things like internet meme culture, indie alternative scenes etc. A 90's teenager would have been brought up in a completely analog environment while a younger millennial would have had a smartphone in high school, social media, dating apps etc. As for politics, the oldest millennial would have been 20 years old on 9/11. The youngest millennial would have been 5 years old. During the 2008 recession the oldest millennial would have been 27 years old, the youngest millennial would have been 12. The 2008 recession would have vastly different influences on these people.

So this range of years seems odd to put together, if you are trying to group people by similar upbringings and therefore connected political and cultural affinities.

These generation groupings are obviously completely subjective, so why not create new groupings?

Hi,

Wondering if Dr Powers has ever mentioned anything about or has looked into non-iatrogenic (not caused by medication) PDOD (pleasure dissociative orgasmic disorder, also known as orgasmic anhedonia).

I know PDOD is one of multiple symptoms people with PSSD etc can experience. I have PDOD but for me there's no obvious link to any substance I've been exposed to/consumed. But perhaps there's still a link, similar mechanisms at play etc?

Hi, I read this subreddit's guide on PT but couldn't really find anything on PDOD (apologies if it's there).

I found one case of a female who fixed their PDOD (pleasureless orgasms) through releasing chronic tension in their pelvic floor but unfortunately the journal article doesn't go into much detail. Here's the journal article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14681994.2012.762087

I've tried asking local PTs whether they'll see me but they decline to see me because they don't specialise in PDOD...but no one does.

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions for building my own pelvic floor therapy routine. Right now I do reverse kegels, deep breathing into the pelvic floor, trying to find "trigger points" to put gentle pressure on (I have only found one vaginal trigger point that connects to a ache I have in my lower back just above the left glutes) and yoga poses that focus on hip opening.

I'm pretty sure I have a hypertonic pelvic floor as I have to either strain or do a lot of deep breathing to urinate, but this started many years after I developed PDOD.

Since there are very few forums or places to talk about pleasureless orgasms, otherwise known as orgasmic anhedonia, I started a discord server specifically to discuss PDOD treatments, solutions, research etc. Although you don't need to have PDOD to join.

Here's the invite: https://discord.gg/unSesTRpgt

It's brand new so still building up a member base, hopefully with people posting methods, research they've found and personal experiences, over time it can become a pretty useful collection of resources.

(I did not see any rules about posting links to discord servers on this subreddit but if I missed anything like that, apologies, let me know and I'll get rid of the link)
