20mg dyphenhydramine works for me but only sparingly. over the counter, safe, effective. mix with a responsible amount of alcohol to ensure unconsciousness.
some people like myself get terrible nightmares on it but it's still worth it for trips and special situations
you need to find yourself multiple solutions to cycle through to not build a tolerance, but there really is no easy cure for chronic insomnia.

Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it fifty times
Smoking on and off for ten years to counter adhd issues and to have an excuse to step outside, sometimes months long gaps between smokes, sometimes chain smoking during particularly important tasks. Never felt anything more than a cranky feeling that lasted a day and constipation when deprived of tobacco for longer than 48 hours.
It still feels worth doing for me but cigarettes are really bad indoors.

Mix yourself a gin and tonic with a lime slice in it.
THC edibles are probably not what you're looking for. Edibles are inherently inconsistent and effects can vary between nothing at all and seeing god and vomiting depending on the particular product, body size, stomach condition, ect.
Going straight into microdosing is stupid. Pick up a normal and legal vice first.
ive only been to kuala lumpur and I feel like I'm missing out on the rest of malaysia. my impression of the city near bukit bintang was that it was somewhat empty shopping malls and skyscrapers spaced out by dense blocks of slums and pedestrian hostile infrastructure. the outskirts were unremarkable by south east asian standards. I never felt particularly unsafe.
The racial economic caste system was obvious to me, as an outsider. Businesswise, english speaking Chinese seemed to be the most trustworthy, followed by "bumiputera". Did not interact with laborers from the subcontinent but was warned to keep distance by my singaporean guide.
I saw a monkey in someones back yard. I saw a temple filled with trash. I saw some fantastic islamic and colonial architecture. I saw a guy on a motorbike get smeared on the asphalt by a truck.
One of the best cities for food I've ever been to
There were a lot of russian men when I was there for some reason
Did not really feel like a islamic country in the same way as indonesia.
If I were the victim of a terrible crime, I would accept the criminal as 'effectively dead' if they were imprisoned for life without parole but if I was given the option to put them to death, I would do so since it's probably better for society.
Life without parole is extremely rare though, and death row prisoners constantly drag victims back into court over and over again with legal bullshit.

Shields in first person games are not fun because they block your vision and you can't tell where your body is. Shields in third person games are not fun because you don't have a lot of control over where the shield goes. In some games, shield blocks are based off of timing, but in most, you just hold a button to be invincible from the front. It's boring to play with and frustrating to play against.

Kids just write their name as fast as possible until it starts to look like cursive. Only the initials have to be legible. There's not much thought into it.
In compulsary education, a student is probably going to be writing their name on paper 3-8 times a day from 1-12th grade. I don't think this will ever change for as long as we have paper tests and paper homework.

If AI posting is normalized, I will skip over any post that doesn't get to the point in the first two sentences. Length was always a bad predictor of how much effort someone put into their post, but with AI, it will be a negative.

Is there a resource like UA war maps but for the current Congo war? It's hard to get a read on what's going on from mainstream media but it seems like some extraordinary things are happening. The Rwandan backed Tutsi M23 rebels just took the biggest city in the east despite being vastly outnumbered and outgunned on paper by the Congolese army, South Africa and Wagner Group (allegedly).
Is anyone following this conflict?
don't buy expensive non stick. replace every year at least. there is no such thing as a long-term coated non-stick pan.
tramontina is reliable and cheap.
you don't need a non stick to fry an egg though. with a little practice, very gentle heat and a small dollop of butter, you can even fry on cast iron.

If it doesn't look like an existing model, it's probably very easy to spot. I like watches and I have seen some heinous crimes against horology with fake Rolex logos.
I don't really judge too hard over people wearing fakes but I do think it's tacky if one could have spent the same money on a nicer but more humble watch.

No forum where a majority of rising posts are deleted for unspecified reasons can be representative of anything other than the people in charge want
People who write a lot on the internet for strangers have way too much time on their hands. I used to write longer comments and even some that made it into the contributions thread but now I don't feel like I have to do that anymore.
People smarter than us hang out with their friends and might pop in once in a while to write a comment about a topic that personally interests them. Successful people should confide with those that they trust and those that are useful to them, not strangers who happen to be on the same intellectual level.
This idiot has no idea what China is like or how Chinese actually feel about "pro-democracy" movements.
