[21:28] DaemonFC I heard another radio program about planning to have children and saving up tuition money. My parents didn't save any tuition money, they didn't even notice that I started cutting class until the truancy officer was after them. [21:29] DaemonFC Then days before they were about to be criminally charged, they pulled me out of school officially and didn't do a hell of a lot else. [21:29] DaemonFC Then by the time I realized what a horrible mistake I'd made, I had to take an equivalency exam to get my high school diploma. [21:29] DaemonFC But I did get it. [21:30] DaemonFC Most people just have kids and then make it up as they go along, and there couldn't be a worse way to do it. [21:31] DaemonFC Then it becomes "obligations" and then they throw their child out into the world where most people are even worse to them because they're not their parents and don't owe them anything. So the world is fucked up, in part, because having kids is eventually viewed by the parents as an exercise in not getting themselves in trouble with the State until they can get out from under this. [21:33] DaemonFC But these radio programs are tailored towards a shrinking amount of the population that has the means to support a child properly, and so it's become quite clear that they're only interested in about 20% of the population, at all. [21:34] DaemonFC I've worked myself into quite the predicament. [21:35] DaemonFC My left leg is crossed and falling asleep but as soon as I move it, it's going to aggravate my back and I'll scream. [21:35] DaemonFC Maybe a controlled fall out of the chair... [21:35] DaemonFC But then I'd fall on my arm. [21:40] admfubar stop crossing your legs [21:56] *psydroid2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.0.0 Aria http://www.kvirc.net/) [21:56] DaemonFC Doctors don't know much to do about back problems. [21:57] DaemonFC They might give you a muscle relaxer but then you'll just sleep all the time and your back will keep hurting if you stop taking it. [21:58] DaemonFC It's like prescription sleeping pills. [21:58] *Snuupy has quit (Quit: leaving) [21:59] DaemonFC People get on them and they work for a while, then they stop working, but they're addicted to the pill now, and the pill causes them to do crazy shit like get in their car and drive around while they're asleep. [21:59] *Snuupy (~Snuupy@user/snuupy) has joined #techrights ● Feb 18 [22:23] DaemonFC Modern medicine is about to the point where if there's something growing there that shouldn't, they can cut it out, and they're a lot better at doing this than they used to be, so way less people get surgical complications or an infection and die. [22:23] DaemonFC If you're in pain, they can give you drugs to cover it up, but those drugs can be very addictive and can even kill. [22:24] DaemonFC But they have no idea what to do about sleep or most back problems. [22:24] DaemonFC Sleep remains a true mystery. [22:24] DaemonFC And so they have no good ideas what to do about me. I've been on sleeping pills both officially and off label for years. [22:25] DaemonFC Some of the atypical antipsychotics knock you out pretty good. There was a doctor up in Canada that wrote "Will the next doctor that goes to write a prescription for Seroquel for insomnia just not?" [22:25] DaemonFC Or something like that. [22:25] DaemonFC There is a man who has never had insomnia. [22:25] DaemonFC It doesn't take very long of going without sleep to disable a person. [22:26] DaemonFC It gets worse every day it continues even if you can't sleep. [22:26] *admfubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:26] DaemonFC You may not feel tired for days or weeks, but your cognitive functions decline, slow down, mind starts to play tricks. [22:27] DaemonFC It doesn't matter that you aren't tired. The days all start running together. It's painful in its own way. [22:27] DaemonFC For some reason, insomnia is not treated like a medical emergency. [22:28] DaemonFC I went to an ER one time for a severe sleep disturbance that had gone on for a week. I've had them go on longer. [22:28] DaemonFC Instead of helping me, they tried to hand me over to "psych" even though I was not displaying any psychiatric problems. [22:29] DaemonFC I documented everything they did wrong but this is just going nowhere even several years later. [22:30] DaemonFC It doesn't matter that how they treated me was unacceptable. They're "medical professionals" and that goes a long way. People get out of their way and say whatever a doctor does is "right". [22:31] DaemonFC In the end, all that happened was that the psychiatrists went over me and said that it wasn't a mental health crisis and nobody ever did anything about the insomnia. [22:31] DaemonFC If you go to the hospital, you are in severe danger. [22:34] DaemonFC Millions and millions of people in the US have a bout of insomnia at some point every year. It's a physiological issue that is just poorly understood by the medical establishment, and so they cover their incompetence with gobbledygook like they always do and then never admit that they have no idea what they're doing. [22:34] DaemonFC And what better way to cover incompetence with gobbledygook than turning it over to people where that's all they do. [22:35] DaemonFC They belittled me and said "It can't possibly be true that you've gone 6 days without sleep." [22:35] DaemonFC I told them, "I've gone 27 days before. I'm trying to ask for help here so that's not what happens this time." [22:37] DaemonFC I've gone weeks without sleep. It does suck but it doesn't make you crazy. I mean, all that eventually happened was that I lost consciousness and woke up on the floor two days later after sleeping on the floor in the basement. We had a family room in our basement. You know how my dad was, schestowitz[TR2] [22:37] DaemonFC Stepped over me to shower and go to work. [22:38] DaemonFC In my observation, insomnia is a vicious cycle. You miss one night of sleep and then it becomes harder the next night, so you miss that one too and it keeps going. [22:40] DaemonFC So I've done everything I can think of that's possible. I've got a really good bed now. I've put a bed canopy over it to block out the light. I wear swimmer's earplugs to bed. I keep the bedroom fairly cold and dry throughout the year. [22:40] DaemonFC It becomes, like most problems in life, "controlling the variables you can". [22:53] DaemonFC Surprisingly, after dragging myself into bed this morning I managed to sleep after immobilizing myself so I wouldn't toss and turn and aggravate my back.

[23:47] superkuh Yeah, he tells people to go to the correct channel. [23:48] superkuh Guest90. [23:48] superkuh Or, er, correct network. [23:48] arkanian I was k-lined for abuse but all I said was stuff to protect myself [23:48] superkuh K. Have fun with that. [23:50] arkanian I just want to go on the record by saying I never made any threats towards DaemonFC and I think this just proves he is irrational [23:55] DaemonFC https://www.theblaze.com/news/transgender-testicles-refrigerator-judge [23:55] TR Bot Judge rules against transgender plaintiff suing over surgically extracted testicles kept in ex-boyfriend's refrigerator next to the eggs | Blaze Media [23:55] DaemonFC > District Judge Jeremy Bowie noted that Kingsley had an opportunity to retrieve the surgically removed testicles when an Oakland County sheriffs deputy accompanied Kingsley to Wojciechowski's home in January 2023. [23:56] DaemonFC > Kingsley had reportedly just gotten out of jail for violating a personal protection order the ex-boyfriend had filed against Kingsley. [23:56] DaemonFC > The couple allegedly broke up in December 2022. [23:56] DaemonFC > "We allow a one-time visit with a sheriffs officer in situations like that for people to go back to get their belongings," Bowie said. "Ms. Kingsley failed to retrieve the testicles from the refrigerator at that time. ... If they were so important to her, she had the opportunity to grab them, and she didn't." [23:56] DaemonFC > Wojciechowski told the judge that he had discarded the testicles in July. [23:56] DaemonFC The Daily Mail says the transgender criminal (violating a protective order is a crime) is also a Muslim. [23:56] DaemonFC How does that work? [23:57] DaemonFC As long as there's the protective order, that means Kingsley is Brady Disqualified. [23:57] DaemonFC Because it's domestic violence. [23:58] DaemonFC It sounds to me like what happened was the boyfriend got with a person who was presenting as a gay man. [23:58] DaemonFC Then the partner went and did this, and then DV'd him and became a "Muslim woman" and left the testicles in his refrigerator. [23:59] DaemonFC I laughed so hard when I read this I managed to hurt my back again.
