And once he got sat the fuck down, he wanted to continue discussing the topic "privately, away from the toxicity", going full out Wormtongue. Fuck him.

I love how dense OP was that he didn't even acknowledge the white-list and was acting like he was the authority (or the sheriff) on this topic, with nothing to back him up whatsoever.

He's such a manchild, it's unbelievable. Won't budge when talked to in a friendly manner, will lash out if someone else calls him out, and will continue to complain in responses to civil people, saying nobody is being civil and whatnot, just for the sake of adding fuel to the fire. He got sat the fuck down by the repo owner, and the schadenfreude is fucking delicious.

OK what the hell. This is the platform I was considering jumping into. Is nothing sacred anymore? That thing costs a fortune by TV stick standards.

I was often sent flying with no way to come back down. Went up fast. Not great for anxiety. The "focusing on stuff" trick does work, though if I overdid it I also woke up because I tried engaging my senses too much.

Fuck it, I'm joining you. That sounds like a mentally healthy choice.

Should've given us an entire season for him alone. Fuck D&D.

Crossing the snacks aisle and resisting the temptation to grab shit, like we're legit ass adults and we ain't going out to buy a whole ass cake to eat in a single seating. WHY.

Third comment in this post about this from me, but I've done university work while lucid dreaming, solved bugs we didn't even know existed, stuff like that. I don't think you rest as much while lucid dreaming, I'm pretty sure I built up fatigue at many points in my life just due to how much lucid dreaming I was doing. I now avoid lucid dreaming, and have started losing the ability to do it frequently (which frankly is a blessing). I feel more well rested now than I did when I lucid dreamt a lot. No way this idea doesn't just leave you completely tired after a while.

I posted this in another comment, but during uni I did in fact write code in lucid dreams. A friend can vouch for a specific time when I woke up from sleep during an all nighter, to fix a very specific bug (which I just remembered, we didn't even know it existed), then went back to sleep. On another occasion, I designed a recursive path-finding algorithm to replace djikstra's algorithm, all in my sleep.

It definitely can be done (though I doubt it could be done consistently and without actually imagining shit up), but it really shouldn't be done, I really doubt I was really resting while doing that.

Well FWIW there are somewhat reproducible techniques, I've used them, but I couldn't tell you how I've used them if my life depended on it (honestly, brain chemical imbalances or fatigue might be a prerequisite). I actually got tired of lucid dreaming and started avoiding certain positions in bed, and started shifting around if I felt myself getting close to jumping into a lucid dream during hypnagogia.

I also worked on university assignments during lucid dreams, solved countless bugs in my code while asleep, a friend can even attest to it since one time I instantly woke up to solve a specific bug and then went back to sleep, with him right next to me (all nighters woo hoo).

It can be done. It really shouldn't be done. The reason why I grew tired of lucid dreaming is because I didn't feel like I was actually resting at all. That disconnect and peace that falling asleep gives you, it's not there for me while lucid dreaming (at least not if I jumped in through hypnagogia).

Ah yes, the 39 women and children released on Friday definitely stabbed schoolchildren. The list of 300 people Israel plans on releasing, most of which are underage or teenage boys, definitely stab schoolchildren.
