Habit is one hell of a thing.

Also for a lot of people, their social circle is partly there.

i.e. I use discord because my partners do so even if I know that it sucks.

Well not good either ^^`

This trend of backsliding democracies truly is terrifying.

These rules are made by botanists.

A berry is a fleshy fruit without a pit produced by a single flower containing a single ovary.

This definition is different from the colloquial culinary one which refers to anything small, growing on a small plant or bush and without a pit.

The strategy went well as in the NFP (leftwing coalition) got a plurality of the votes.

The issue is that the ruling party (En Marche) said fuck it and allied with the fascists.

Yeah and they grow in the ground too.

A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category.

• blueberry: not a berry
• blackberry: nuh-uh
• Strawberry: you’re an accessory fruit
• banana: yup, totally a berry
• watermelon: go for it

That’s nuts

Durian would’ve been a fruitable :p

Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

Eeeeeeh I’m not going to compare Macron and Harris. She’s not been a stepping stool for the R again and again and again.

I was referring to our last legislative election (think Congress if you need an American point of reference). It happened last summer and Left wing voters had to make a coalition up to the socialist party and the greens which are our centrist parties.

A slotted coffee spoon. As much unique as it is useless.

But currently you aren’t and the options are damage control or burning the house down…

• A French person that was in a similar position a few monthes ago.

Yeah but what if your option is objectively better even if not anyone has your exact usage?

refrains real hard from proselytizing

I’m neither American nor a native English speaker so take it with a grain of salt.

That’s where I’d put the line between a regular prepper and a doomsday prepper.

Not to forget the very elusive Sergent Prepper.

Wow it’s been awhile since I saw anything remotely referring to brony culture. It was a fun subgenre of culture n_n

(was as in I’m less exposed to it nowadays. I hope it’s alive and kicking)

They still might depending on what you tried.

For example some antidepressants tend to give a bit of a jolt (e.g. fluoxetine) and are usually taken in the morning.

Most of the time you get some SSRIs as a first antidepressant which usually wake people up. Mianserine is a tetracyclic AD with a whole different set of effects.

To give you slightly more information:

I checked and both names are generic.

Mianserine is an antidepressant but can be used at lower dosages as a sleeping aid. I noticed that it helps me go to bed.

Quetiapine is an antipsychotic. It is also used as a sleeping aid at lower dosages but I have seen counterindications on account of the heavier side effects. I noticed that it didn’t make me that sleepy but it keeps me from waking up every few hours and helps me go back to sleep when I do wake up. A few friends of mine find the hypnotic effects too intense and need to take it at the end of the afternoon in order to hear their alarms in the morning.

Yeah these are pretty newish. It might also not be what they’re called in your country.

My main issue with otc stuff is that it tended to make me drowsy but still unable to sleep …

Don’t forget the absolutely deranged path wour vagal nerve takes through your torsoe because fish didn’t have necks and we do.

Last year I discovered what 7/8h of sleep felt like thanks to horse adapted amounts of sleeping medication (120mg of Miamserine, 500mg of quetiapine, some THC).

Before that I was used to 5/6h on the regular and 1/3h when it got worse.

I don’t really understand how I have functionned all these years with that much sleep deprivation.

Look at me I got the low ground!

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
