I'll just put this out there: Would it feel less weird to you if it was your daughter?

Anecdotally, I had a friend who crawled up to cosleep with her single mom even as a teenager and student sometimes. Especially when she wasn't doing well. Being a family of 2 brings you very close together, and also unfortunately, makes you the only super close person in their lives. She liked to cuddle up with friends too occasionally. It never seemed off or weird.

She might be hypersensitive (although this is not a recognized diagnosis), but otherwise, she is developmentally (and sexually) absolutely standard. She's 33 now and does very well in life and with her boyfriend.

What I mean by that is that it might seem more unconventional to cosleep with someone of the opposite sex who is starting puberty. Being a girl, having a girl friend, and this girl friend liking to sleep with me, another friend, or her mom as company was never weird. All other friends also thought that's fine. I think that's that girl privilege where we are more comfortable with closeness. So, if you felt weird if it was your daughter too, it might just not be for you (although you mentioned you slept better). If it's about the gender (some subconscious bias), it's still your child. Just your child.

Last but not least, there are more than enough people around the world who share a room or even a bed with family members until a bigger age. A friend of mine coslept with 8 silblings since there was just no room. Especially with a voluntary cosleeping situation, I would rather try to focus on the benefits it gives you two - closeness, connection, a feeling of safety, and knowing you're there for each other. Also through changes in life.

I hate bugs. I hate everything being full of bugs and flies and the trash cans outside stink like poop in the heat. I hate having bug babies everywhere. I hate having a deadly lazer above me so that I can only choose between burning myself alive, wearing disgusting cream, or covering up like crazy and sweating even more. All the food goes bad instantly. The food in the supermarket is infested with flies. I wake up at 4 am because stupid Altbau doesn't allow for proper outside blinds. I hate that it's either fucking up the environment even more by using AC or heat stroke. I also hate overdone AC in buildings that gives me a cold. Have you ever had a feverish cold during summertime? It's awful. And makeup, you cannot do makeup in the heat without it becoming a smudge of sunscreen, color, oil and sweat. Have I mentioned the bugs and caterpillars and maggots and larvae and everything, everything is alive? And then, when it rains and everything cools down for a bit, you get earthworms.

You know what's amazing? Cold ass dry snowy winter days. Bug free heaven.

Loading a centrifuge with 24 positions only on positions 1-8

Also in general so much non SOP and GLP stuff, sloppy work, and constantly needing 11-13 hours a day to get stuff done. Like, I actually see why - they talked and snacked and talked. It wasn't 13 hours of work, it was about 5. But still - how on earth did the supervisor, who has to make sure no one works more than 9 hours a day tops (we're clocking), not notice there is something wrong here? You're clocking an insane amount of time, you work slow and you don't get everything assigned to you done. There is an imbalance from both sides and it was so obvious and no one did anything. Both sides should be fired honestly.

Are you the ob/gyn that recommends pregnant people to swap chocolate for broccoli?

Well if you are talking about the end of the first season this wasn't like she wanted them to die. They all, step by step, without her consent, sacrificed themselves because they knew she was the most powerful and had to go on to have a shot at defeating the dark moon kingdom. If I recall correctly she also dies at the end, and they are all resurrected with amnesia.

I've been out during school nights. I've never been out during work nights. Being hungover and overtired at school vs being hungover and overtired at work are two vastly different things. I have the energy to sit in class and not listen 100%, but pretending I am fine at work and actually do work that I am required to do? That's a whole other difficulty level.

I understand doubting the white but seeing black in that gold was what I could never buy. To me it seemed like light blue-grey with matte gold.

 

This is both a shower thought and a stupid question but I think it fits this community better.

Since air conditioning is apparently heating the local environment while cooling down a house I was asking myself whether it would be possible to basically either build a layer of glass/plexiglass right over the actual outer structure of a house, leaving a tiny gap between wall and glass, or at least put a house in a kind of glasshouse dome with a double glass wall. And consequently inject a sulfur compound, calcite etc into that "gap", basically creating a very tiny micro-atmosphere that has that sun blocking effect.

Would that work, just logically/technically? Would the environment heat up less, more, or just the same as with geoengineering in the stratosphere? Would it even cool down a house/keep it cool at all?

 

Leute, ich bin einfach zu blöd zum googlen.

Ich würde gerne an mehr Demos teilnehmen bzw mich informieren, wann wo was stattfindet. Ob München, Leipzig oder Berlin - ich schaffe es einfach nicht, eine Liste mit angekündigten Demos in meiner Nähe zu finden. Demos müssen doch eigentlich angemeldet werden, müsste es dann nicht ein Einfaches sein, für jede Stadt eine Liste zu finden? Bis vor Kurzen habe ich noch in München gewohnt und hätte gedacht, dass auf münchen.de sowas doch gelistet sein müsste, aber ich hab nie was gefunden.

Immer wenn ich so etwas google, finde ich aber nur Nachrichten zu vergangenen Demos. Mit ganz viel Glück habe ich vor knapp zwei Jahren mal einen oder zwei Tage vorher einen Artikel gelesen, in dem Aktionen gegen den Krieg in der Ukraine angekündigt wurden.

Vielleicht kann mir hier ja jemand weiterhelfen. Gerade habe ich wieder versucht, etwas zu finden in Leipzig oder Berlin am 24. Februar, und stoße schon wieder nur auf alte Artikel.

Edit: Vielen Dank für die Antworten und die Links! Sie helfen sehr weiter. Vielleicht laufen wir uns ja mal bei einer der Aktionen über den Weg.

 

I am looking for a term to describe the line of thinking that goes something like "I hate my work, I am sick all the time, I am depressed, I can't find happiness. But I should be happy. Those problems don't matter. All my problems are so insignificant, there are little. They're just some stupid first world problems. I have it good, I have food on the table and a loving family. There are millions of people who have real problems, people living in severe poverty, starving to death, being bombed."

I think about this often, it came up when I was talking with someone with mental health issues and I remember him telling me that this way of thinking has a name/is a common symptom that occurs in people with a specific personality disorder, although I cannot remember what disorder he claimed it was. Also this was more than ten years ago so it might have either changed or my memory of this event changed.
