And the steroids for my sinuses aren’t helping matters.

Well right now, I can’t sleep because I read your username and it’s a terrible day to have eyes

The average human has eight spiders climb into their butthole over the course of their lives.

This is so creepy, I wanna believe it’s true so I can share/scare people.

tf you mean sadly?! Y’all keep your spiders away from my anus

[–] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 4 points 2 years ago

But what about that itch you can't scratch?

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Be the change you want!

The spiders had to come from somewhere. ¯\(ツ)

Apologies, but you can blink easily, as I rarely call them out!

Leave your phone switched off and outside your bedroom.

inevitable: adj Impossible to avoid or prevent; certain to happen. synonym: certain.

No, death is inevitable, this is a choice.

I mean, not everyone has the choice to separate themselves from their phones these days. It eventually becomes a habit. Probably also hard to gauge someone else’s stress levels from work.

True but I doubt they are an on call surgeon.

If they cannot leave their phone outside their bedroom, they need to be discussing it with a therapist not here.

Never meant to imply they were an, on call surgeon, just difficult for us to judge the why people behave differently than we would.

It’s always easier to judge from the outside, instead of putting yourself in their shoes.

As a Klingon, this point feels like a very Vulcan, hill to die on.

Oh, you are a klingon?

What I found helped me getting to sleep earlier and faster was automating my living room lights. When the sun goes 3° below the horizon or at 21:00 (whichever comes later) the lights slowly go down to 30% brightness. I get sleepy soon after and hit the sack earlier than I used to.

If only I could also automate the brightness of my desktop PC-s monitor, too. Alas, can't even manually control the brightness from software...

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Doesn't the program flux do exactly that?

[–] Shurimal@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Doesn't flux change just the color temperature? This is built into Windows itself these days.

But I don't want to change color temperature and throw out color accuracy; I want to change just the brightness, automatically so I don't have to fudge around in monitor OSM all the time.
