IIRC, what you’re describing is called Lucid Dreaming. most people who lucid dream are aware, though some can actively control their dreams. The degree of control varies, though.

move to Jericho.

(iykyk.)

the idea that cheese affects your dreams is kinda… folklore. Most likely, it’s simply the act of eating right before bed is the problem. (your body doing digestion stuff affects your sleep cycle, making it hard for you to sleep well.)

As far as I know- and I’m far from an expert here- dreams are really just your brain trying to make sense of your brain doing whatever the fuck it is your brain is doing why you sleep. (maybe a de-fragmentation cycle to keep everything nice and functional? bad analogy, probably.)

in any case, your brain is trying to make sense of signals and synapses firing off, in what is basically a random pattern. so it cobbles together a reality as best it can and fit things to that.

Its also trying to maintain a certain amount of continuity with where you are. So, if you’re anxious while you fall a sleep, your brain is going to incorporate that anxiety.

Also, as Bigfish mentioned, the freaky/weird/anxious ones are more likely to wake you up so that you actually remember them.

In any case, I would suggest maybe changing your bedtime routine up and finding something positive/calming to focus on. crotchet works well for me. but it could be just about anything. a feel-good novel, or whatever. (I also suggest turning the screens off.)

might not change that the only things you remember are the unpleasant ones, but it might make them less frequent.

feral cats are a colony, too.

In Paris, there was a spat of feral colonies going after tourists a while back.

Well. Once.

But I still think it’s funny to imagine it being a bigger problem.

Is it even a question?

Furryosa may say “no”, but the intrusive thoughts say “yes”

“9 out of 10 cats approve of this cat tree and the tenth cat couldn’t be reached for comment.”

Looking at your posting history, your recent post… probably violates rules 1, 4 and 5: no politics, shitposting is okay as long as it’s not problem, and no trolling.

the answer to your question is that there are differences between opinions that are unpopular and opinions held by assholes. Believing that ice cream sucks is unpopular. Believing that poor people shouldn’t spend money on ice cream is vile. Do you see the difference?

(Just to be clear… ice cream does not suck.)

If the advice is unsolicited, it’s u likely that they advice giver has enough context to actually give good advice.

There’s exceptions there (“hey, you shouldn’t lick electrical outlets”, for example. Or a more experienced person at work suggesting something like “hey, try it this way,”)

Let’s say you like to do dorodamgo- Japanese art/hobby/whatever of making mud into polished balls.

Let’s say you make one ball of good clay… and another out of poop.

They look the same, but one is just clay and the other is utter shit.

The perfect drinking companion. Doesn’t get smashed and start offering bad life advice. Or pick fights expecting you to back them up, even though you don’t even remember his name from when he introduced himself five minutes ago. Or, mace you for saying “hello”

Well, if they wanted to play with it again….

I mean, thanks, lol.

This feels like a trap. Did I just sell my soul to your cats by looking at them?

10/10, worth it.

probably don’t want to run a UV light inside the Falcon.

I’d sooner kiss a wookie!

Or… Époisses de Bourgogne…

(This is the cheese falsely stated to be banned on French public transit.)

It’s both super stinky and has a… striking… flavor.

This you?

Being called out for a hypocrisy is not hate.

You were literally telling me not to tell be how to drive (which, while I came close, I didn’t actually do,) while literally telling me how to drive.

I understand many states have some form of “slower traffic laws”… and explained why that’s not relevant.

There are many reasons why someone needs to be in the left lane- taking a left-exit, or the left hand fork in a split, or, you know, actually passing people themselves…. Or seeing an eratic driver behind them making it dangerous to get over.

I have to assume that CA law also says something about running people off the road because they’re not going fast enough for you. Generally, I assume everywhere does- for obvious reasons.

Even if you’re right, that doesn’t give you them right to drive recklessly and tailgate people. Which brings me back to the original point I was making: the kind of people who are angry at having to slow down… are unlikely to be polite and civil- they’re already demonstrating harassing behaviors.
