It is the same thing as sea sickness and car sickness. But you have way more control over when you start and stop. So you can either go with dramamine or you can go with controlling the variables to train your brain that it doesn’t need to protect you from “the poison berries”. Motion sickness is caused by your eyes and inner-ears disagreeing with what is happening. Which for most of human history meant you were hallucinating from eating something poisonous and vomiting would be a good way to save your life.

But, the brain can be trained to lessen and even completely forego this response. If you immediately stop as soon as you have the first minor symptoms, usually warm face, and then wait an hour or so and go back in. You’ll steadily increase the amount of time you can play before feeling symptoms. Your brain will subconsciously reinforce that it doesn’t need to protect you, whatever is going on isn’t life threatening. But the opposite is also true, if it keeps going far enough that you get most of the symptoms or even do vomit, it’ll reinforce to your brain that it is indeed saving your life and the response will get faster and faster.

Dramamine can artificially slow down the response and buy you way more time to start with, which would make training it away even easier, and it’s usually a very important part of training it away for sea sickness since you generally can’t immediately stop being on a boat, and helpful for car sickness if you can’t just have the car pull over for an hour when you feel it coming on.

There are also usually settings in most VR experiences to reduce how much they might trigger that response. For racing games, a “lock to horizon” option can really help. There will still be some milder triggers, but getting rid of that one can buy you a lot of time… For other games, avoiding movement that isn’t coming from your body in the real world pretty much eliminates VR sickness causes. But if the game really needs artificial movement, there are settings like vignetting and having more static graphic elements added to focus on during movement.

Eventually, with successful training, you won’t need the comfort features. You’ll be able to play any game for any amount of time.

The mandarin X is pronounced similar to SH pronunciation in English.

Like Xiaomi is pronounced “Show me”

So Xitter and Xit are not pronounced with the Z sound you are thinking.

VR sickness is not a permanent thing. You can train it away. You can also just do stuff that doesn’t cause it in the first place. But I recommend training it away, cuz some of the best VR content is the stuff that would cause VR sickness to people that still get it.

Luckily, this is not a thing anymore. At least not in Canada. We’re in a small rural town in Alberta, so I have to assume we are in pretty much the worst place in Canada for it, too. But my niece has ADHD and they are very inclusive about it now. Chewing gum is allowed, music is allowed, fidgets are allowed, and wiggly chairs are allowed. And none of the other kids in her class are bothered by it, they have their own things too, and they are all learning just fine.

Yep, and each post is a Xit, still pronounced with the mandarin X.

A large part of growing up with social media is learning how to effectively use your emotions in a way that assists you rather than hindering you. Passion and anger are way too close together, it can be really hard to separate them. Passion is very helpful when motivating yourself to write in a compelling way. Unfortunately, it’s something that can best be learned through practice. The good news is the first step is recognizing that it is a problem, so you have started. The bad news is, you won’t be good at it for a while still, but keep trying anyway.

I didn’t even get to try to enjoy it, one of the missions pretty early on had a 100% chance to crash at a certain point on my computer and after a year of checking to see if each game patch or video driver update fixed it, I just gave up.

Starlink roughly compares to mobile internet. And not particularly favorably on average. It’s good if you live in a place where even cell service doesn’t reach or is super old. But it doesn’t compare to even a cheap/bad wired connection for bandwidth, but especially for latency.

And to play two copies of the same game at the same time, any 2 members of the family could own it. So my brother and I can each buy a game, and then my mom and sister could play it while we are at work. My sister can’t work, so she has a lot of time to fill but can’t afford to buy games. We do have 5 copies of Stardew Valley, though, as that is a game for the whole family.

There was already a bunch of games my brother and I both owned before steam family was an option. But now games I’m only tangentially interested in after he played them or vice versa are much more of an option to quickly play through to see if I like it too. Before, it just wouldn’t have been worth buying it to find out. And it’s a bonus for the devs too if I do end up liking it, because then I am more likely to buy their next game so I can play it at the same time as my brother.

Gaming is inherently social. Even when we play single-player games, I’m sure most of us have a friend or sibling we talk to about them as we play.

Careful with alarm fatigue. It’s unfortunately something your brain does without your permission. If you ever find setting lots of alarms stops being helpful, that is likely what happened. Basically, since you will end up brushing off a decent portion of those alarms as you are either still on task or don’t need to be on task yet “this time”, your brain will slowly think of those alarms as less important, no matter how important you want them to still be.

It can help to set as many different alarm sounds as possible. Sometimes, that can make it feel like each alarm is different, and they won’t all be lumped into the same category in your subconscious.

That paper specifically concludes that despite all that, there is no reason to even look into whether fluoridation in drinking water might be a problem because there has clearly been no corollary deleterious effect. So, knowing what it would look like if it was a problem, was enough to know that it isn’t even close enough to warrant checking how close it is. The highest reported extremes of exposure already didn’t cause issue, so there is certainly no cause for concern at normal levels.

Basically, normal levels are so far below potential risky levels, that they aren’t even concerned of accidental overexposure due to mistakes or accidents. They concluded they had literally zero concern…

So linking that paper isn’t really supporting your opinion.

Yeah, I know at least 4 of my ancestors should have been diagnosed as Autistic but never got tested. And 2 more were for sure undiagnosed ADHD. They all just ended up being stunted unhappy people instead that had a couple happy moments with their other stunted unhappy friends whenever they would hang out and play trains or music or whatever other “weirdly” deep hobby their sposes had to eventually pull them away from to go back to “normal” life.

Kids with diagnosed or undiagnosed Autism didn’t used to stay in the same class as “non-disruptive” students, oftentimes not even in the same school. But it’s so much better understood now that there is a much stronger effort to keep the classes as integrated as possible and just figure things out as they present. But the problem is that it’s being compounded by spending cuts that have led to integrating even more than what currently makes sense because they can’t afford enough teachers to split classes more. Instead, they hire cheaper teachers assistants and try to handle 30+ kids in the same room. A teacher and 2 TAs for 30 kids is a much worse situation than 2 teachers with 15 kids each.

When I was in school, even my, at the time called Asperger’s syndrome, was enough to have me pulled out into a side class with a specialised teacher. That side room was 10 kids and had 2 TA’s as well. They managed to keep that room so well organised that I was able to pull ahead a grade in that environment. Partially just due to not having to wait for all the other kids in the bigger class to learn stuff before I could move on. Each kid in the 10 kid side-class was on individual learning. So I could breeze through all the stuff I found easy to have more time to work on the stuff that was unduly challenging for me.

On the neurodivergent version of the IQ test they had me do back then, my section scores varied from as low as 74 in a section to 152 in my highest, averaged out to 121 overall. So there was more that I was good at than bad, but 74 is pretty low, so I had to spend a lot of time on that stuff. And it’s tough, the brain hates doing stuff that is relatively challenging. But they worked out a sort of interval training reward system that worked for me. I guarantee I am a much more useful person to society now than I would have been without the funding schools used to have. I shored up my weaknesses while still building my strengths.

After a year in the side course, I was able to rejoin the main class, but a grade higher than the class I used to be with before. The school got me a personal education assistant to keep me on task through challenging stuff or boring stuff. Anything that would otherwise cause my mind to wander or seek out other activities. Eventually, with practice, I was able to keep myself in check with the same tactics.

I guess I should have posted a shorter reply, they probably saw two full sentences and gave up before even starting.

They are a very handy shoe when it comes time to clean them. Especially nice for jobs where that is every day, or multiple times a day. And honestly, despite being so cheap, they don’t lead to foot problems anywhere near as much as other shoes, even at twice the price.

They may not have much respect, but they are a useful shoe.

Not enough paid humans sorting between which data is examples of good behaviour and which data is examples of bad behaviour. Not saying that is what is happening as we don’t even know if there is data, but that would be the weakness in that plan when run the way it would be run if instituted by elon.

Parking should follow urinal rules. Never use the stall right next to someone else unless it is the only remaining option. And especially if there is only one person at the urinals so far…

Did you get half way through and assume what the rest of the post must say and skip reading it? It seems like you answered a completely different question than the actual joke that was posted.
