The Mind Electric by Miracle Musical.

It starts off going backwards then it plays forwards and I find it absolutely mesmerizing

I believe that’s the same source as Pluto tv, if not, Pluto tv also has those channels

I’m hesitant to link back to reddit, but I’m not sure there’s any community with quite the same amount of engagement/content yet. They have rules against number of views/plays to try to keep posts about lesser known stuff.

The few things I liked about siriusXM when I had a subscription were alt nation (except Madison… ugh) and XMU. The DJs occasionally had insight into their choices but you can find the playlists themselves here

It is y-g-gou that are fuckeduptedup!

I love the line “They should have sent a poet”

I think it’s just a reminder of the pointlessness of overthinking. I find it poignant because I spend a lot of time lost in rumination, myself

I have noticed my ability to take things in stride definitely goes down when I don’t feel well. I would check in with yourself physically- is there a non-obvious physical ailment that might be putting you on edge? Perhaps there’s pain or headaches that you don’t consciously consider that’s diminishing your ability to deal with stuff. Otherwise I would suggest what others have suggested- looking into whether you might have some level of anxiety disorder. This may mean medication and/or something like cognitive behavioral therapy

“indulge” is a great word here, I think that’s a word I had trouble finding to describe this- it’s very indulgent. For me, there’s something about the simplicity of the time traveling mechanic that hits the right notes. :::spoiler Slight spoilers? Time traveling is just “inverting” in time, and there are no flashy special effects for the actual inversion, just walking through the “turnstile”. When the protagonist steps out into the world after being inverted, the sense of familiarity combined with the eerie sense of something being off (everything moving backwards, haha) just struck a nerve for me, it felt so visceral :::

Either can prescribe it. Depends on the person’s situation- other symptoms, severity, etc.

It may be prescribed long term if the benefits outweigh the possible risks. If someone is taking it in their own, it’s probably better to talk to their doc about it. My understanding is that it’s safe but can have long term effects and needs to be stepped down if you stop after taking it a while

I love this skit…

Apur? Do you mean A P R??

Pretty sure it’s APUR

Right? The word ROBBED with no context beyond phone cases does not grab my interest

Illicit- forbidden, illegal, taboo

Elicit- evoke a response, obtain

I concur with that general rule!

I think when people say to but high quality items, they mean to spend what they’re worth. Getting the most expensive thing doesn’t really guarantee a quality item, but cheaping out makes it much more likely that you’ll end up with something lackluster. Plus, something like sleep can be fairly complicated and is connected to your habits, what you’ve eaten, or schedule, etc., so expecting a single change (pillow) to make a huge difference may not be realistic.

Why not both?
