They posted a video 7 years or so ago about how great nationalism is. They even claimed that Ghandi and MLK were nationalists while attempting to change the definition of nationalism. It was like watching a nazi propaganda film.

"It's colder than Christmas". For reference I live in TX, so it doesn't take much for it to be colder than Christmas (it's not uncommon for Christmas to be in the 80s F).

Lemmy seems to be nice. I don't think I've figured out enough about lemmy to have specific feedback, though.

I've seen a lot of posts recently about FOSS. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know anything about it. What is FOSS and does it have a big advantage over other software designs?

I hope that some of my suggestions help! Hang in there!

I like the Lavender essential oil that I bought from Whole Foods the most, as far as smell. It's not going to knock out the migraine but it does help take the edge off.

I've also used peppermint before and although it didn't help me quite as much, it has helped other people I know. The peppermint is much stronger than Lavender, so I only rub a drop of peppermint oil on the back of my neck. One time, I put peppermint on my temples and it was so overwhelming that it made my eyes water.

Oh, I forgot! One doctor also gave me a script to have IV magnesium and IV medication to help with migraines. It was very helpful if you can get a script and have somewhere nearby that you can go.

Taking a hot or cold shower, depending upon which temperature helps.

A little Lavender essential oil on the temples or back of the neck can help slightly.

I find magnesium glycinate to be helpful as well and may help yours if tension is a trigger for you.

The only medication that I've really found helpful is sumatriptan. It's more helpful stopping a migraine just as symptoms start, but can still help once a migraine develops.

A massage gun can help knock out some tension around your shoulders, as well as breathing exercises. Here's one that I find helpful. Sit up straight and tall (if you're able) and take deep tummy breaths let your tummy relax and allow the breath to go down there instead of just to your chest. After a couple breaths, feel your diaphragm (located just below your rib cage) lower as your lungs expand and raise up as you exhale, then in the next few breaths notice your neck slowly expand and contract with each breath, then turn your attention to your sinuses slightly expand and contract, and finally for the last few breaths feel the top of your head raise slightly with each breath. This should help provide a sense of calm, I like to picture that calm as either a serene place in nature or you can think of it as light. Then notice a spot on your body holding tension and lightly press it with a finger. Then imagine that same serene natural location or light entering that tense spot and take a few deep breaths. With enough mental focus putting that peaceful place into the ball of tension, it will release.

That breathing exercise doesn't immediately knock out a migraine always for me, but makes them a lot more bearable and can shorten the length of the migraine.

A roommate of mine suggested taking a prebiotic called acidophilus for nauseau and seemed to help with that symptom.

If light or screens are a trigger for you, I have found that glasses lenses with FL-41 tint to be helpful. You can find some at theraspecs and they offer both prescription and non-prescription glasses and sunglasses.

Depends on the situation. Is it just a cashier ringing up your stuff? No. In that case, I line things up on the belt the way that I want to bag it and start bagging as they ring things up.

Is there a cashier and a bagger? I've helped bag things in this situation but tend to be slower than the person who bags groceries all day. They might be offended, but that is probably mostly annoyance that the process will probably be slower.

Academically, make sure to start off each semester well. It's much less stressful to have some As and Bs at the beginning in case something comes up or you bomb a test, rather than starting with an F and attempting to climb out of it.

Socially, be fun and get to know people but don't be a drunk asshole. Your peers may interview you for a job one day and it would be bad if they remembered you as a drunk asshole.

Financially, start off in community College. You can still find some that are only $1-2K for tuition and books per semester. It's so much cheaper than starting at a 4 year university. Also check the pricing for living somewhere near the campus vs the dorms. At my university, the dorms were about 2.5 times more expensive than living with a roommate 5-10 minutes away.

Explore a bunch of different paths by taking different electives. Also don't put all your elective classes in the first 2 years, life will be much easier in your last year of college if you only have a couple high level classes and a PE class or an elective class that you can enjoy and relax with. Finally, don't be afraid to change your major.

I wouldn't think the recognition from the public would be main reason. I figured that the biggest reason you'd want the credit is for future employers to see your name attached to a film. I would imagine they would be the ones to either sit through credits or search a credits database to see who worked on which films or worked on films recently.

I'll have to look into that! Thanks!
