All other body hair has a “stopping” length why not the one that’s on your head? Asking from a biological/evolution perspective.

In short: I have somewhat of a unique problem and am in need of a sleeping aid that helps prevent dreaming, whether that be by promoting deep sleep or staying in the earlier stages as long as it helps avoid REM it doesn’t matter. I currently take thc at night but my tolerance is rapidly building so I’m looking for other options.

The Long: Why do I want to avoid dreaming? I have complex medical issues that were caused by a recent-ish prolonged exposure to trauma, it was bad, my nervous system got so fried and some of my organs even started shutting down. My body is now very sensitive to stress and being activated, it can cause a flare up and my systems to slow down. And I’ve found that dreams are able to activate this same system. If I have a stressful or activating dream that night my body can’t tell the difference between dreams and real danger so it will cease to “rest & digest” for the remainder of the night. My digestive system is particularly sensitive to this and if an activating dream occurs early on in the night my body will stop digesting and I’ll wake up with food from yesterday still in my stomach, which is not fun and set off a whole other chain of reactions. I’ve found my bulk of digesting occurs between 2-5am so I need a sleep aide to help with those early hours. I currently take thc tincture a couple hours before bed and it helps me sleep “deeper” for those first hours of sleep then starts to wear off by early morning. This has been working well but I find my tolerance is rapidly building plus I don’t wanna be high every night.

*Please note I do have a doctor and they are aware of my medical issues but don’t necessarily have any solutions, but prescription sleep aids are an option so if you’ve tried any that fit what I’m looking for feel free to put in comment or DM.

Is it true there’s going to be another peanuts launch in the US coming out on 8/25? My mom sent me a picture of merch, I’ll post in comments, but unsure if real.

Edit: Thank you, you’ve confirmed my suspicions it AI.

I don’t have kids (obviously) but I feel like it should be common sense not to bring your 2wk old newborn to a major league baseball game. It’s not cute, it’s neglect. You’re neglecting your baby’s health & well being all because you wanted to go to a stupid baseball game.

I’m getting real tired of waiting for the New World of Steam (do we still think it’s happening this year?) so I’m looking to get a different one in the meantime. I haven’t played since Nintendo DS days Curious Village. I could either get Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy for the switch OR one of the iOS games curious village, diabolical box, unwound future… etc.

Is the current switch game worth the $$ or best to wait for the new game and get an iOS one instead. If iOS which one?

I recently had some of the best onion rings from here and am craving more… How long does this “limited time” item stick around?

I saved a post with the feature “dear algo” which was highlighted and showed the algo message at the time, I briefly saved it to my drafts (I didn’t even leave the app!), then when I tried to upload it kept failing. I deleted the entire draft and updated my app but the “dear algo” feature is now gone nothing happens when I type those words. Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m an R.EEGT and want to start working on my credits to keep registry. What do you do? How much does it cost?

The one from the book who hangs out with a rabbit that wears a spaghetti strainer on his head. It’s my younger brother’s favorite character, hoping maybe one of you eagle eyed viewers have spotted him.

I’ve seen lots of books that tackle cPTSD & PTSD in one way or another but I haven’t come across any that are particularly aimed at the trauma of being a glass child.

Is there a way to auto connect to the least busy server in the country? I know how to manually find it but this becomes tedious.

Would love to get some!

I feel like the more I talk about my illness and its caveats with people the more convinced I become I’m undesirable (not unlovable- I know I am very lovable) but nobody is going to DESIRE to be with me and the challenges that come with chronic illness. Dating while sick is hard.

Each person should reach their own conclusion whether or not they want kids THEN if both people independently answer yes you and your partner decide together how many.

Whenever I hear a man say he’s unsure about kids and it’s a decision that should be made in partnership I roll my eyes so hard they get stuck back there. Like the cost of child rearing, you’re putting the decision entirely on the woman, because as a man having kids doesn’t affect your life that much that you have to think about future consequences.

I am unable to send, receive, or even view old messages on one of my accounts, the icon just disappeared, the weird part is when I switch to my other profile (on the same device) it still has the icon. I have tried to send myself a message from the other account and the option isn’t available. I’ve double checked and all my account are in good standing.

I’ve submitted a bug report but is there a way to get in contact with an actual helpful human?

Edit: iOS systems with up to date app

It’s not even the hottest it’s going to get this summer and the grid is already failing
