dysprosium OP , (edited )

please do.

edit: before people misinterpret. The reason I’m posting now is because people misinterpreted my intent in previous discussions. In retrospect, this is most likely caused by the “style in which I phrased my comments”, which (apparently) resemble the style of trolls: trying to conceal malicious intent by asking dumb questions. This ended in a train wreck. So I wanted to start with a clean plate so people do not get the wrong idea.

dysprosium , (edited )

misogynist, queerphobe? I never heard him say things like that. Where have you?

Edit: getting downvoted for asking questions… Some people man

dysprosium , (edited )

Which post, if any one knows?

dysprosium , (edited )

idk man, in the article I find what he said is:

-The “sexist joke” by saying “TITS” is just a dumb joke, not “misogynistic”.

-The “Pronouns suck” comment, is weird and just vague, and not necessarily queerphobic. Maybe he just doesn’t like changing the standard language much. It doesn’t necessarily say he will purposely use the wrong pronoun on people, in practice. Too vague to work with.

-Calling Warren “Karren Warren” and saying “You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason”. I guess maybe this can be considered misogynistic, but I’d by far attribute this to just “being rude”, because he just insults her for her actions. Just because this insult is a comparison to another woman that acted hysterically, does not make it misogynistic. Yes, the “Karen” is generally a sex-specific insult, but again, this can also be taken as just a personal attack, which in this case it is.

Yeah sure there could be more examples, but going from the link you posted, there is barely anything to call him misogynistic, let alone queerphobic. I don’t care who he is, I’d have said this to anyone who said these things.

dysprosium ,

I understand but what a weird thing to just assume

dysprosium ,

The fact that you keep insisting that you haven’t seen evidence of him being queerphobe is on you at this point

I wholeheartedly agree, it’s just that I haven’t seen it, and that doesn’t mean he is NOT queerphobic. I was simply asking questions. If you don’t like that, what can I do about that?

dysprosium ,

I am not saying that he is not queerphobic or misogynistic. I just said that I haven’t seen it, and asked if anyone would be so kind of pointing it to me. Chill out dude lol

dysprosium ,

and rather than you specifically talking about an example that I misinterpreted, you say I “deny evidence”. Why won’t you mention something specific that I missed or misinterpreted (in article).

But again, back to what you said about me “asking a stupid question” how in the actual fuck does this work? Who is setting up “bad faith” ? The one asking a question? Omfg

dysprosium ,

yes I had a feeling actually. But jesus fuck that is depressing, how else should one phrase it then? I try hard to think people are not dumber than decades ago, but it’s seriously hard to keep on believing that sometimes. Now I have to jump through hoops just in order to be perceived as neutral? I’m out.

dysprosium ,

right, all fair. But nowadays everybody is spewing up nonsense, so it’s only natural to stop and ask why/how. Sure, I could search the web, but I’m talking about the principle. If spewing shit is okay, then questioning it should also be okay, obviously.

dysprosium ,

im not really interested in claims by others about him. If he’s so misogynistic, I’m sure he made these remarks himself, too. (And FYI, I specifically asked for remarks he made himself, not claims about him.) I was just asking because I haven’t seen any, which is quite normal when it’s about other topics. But I guess when it comes to these ones, it’s considered being a troll. Think whatever you think but that doesn’t hold water. Especially nowadays everyone is spewing a lot of bs, so it’s only natural to be skeptic then as well.

dysprosium ,

I said I “wholeheartedly agree” with “it being on me” that I haven’t seen something. Obviously. How can it not? Is it on you? No. You’re being so incredibly stupid and prejudiced that it’s hard to fathom. Now fuck off, you’re right about wasting metabolism

dysprosium , (edited )

I haven’t yet looked at them all but some of these are so retarded that I question your sincerity or sanity. E.g. How is saying “definitely attacked misleading journalism like yours though” considered sexist? This is beyond retarded.

dysprosium ,

please block me.

dysprosium ,

I’m not familiar with kde so that docker is not an extension?

dysprosium ,

damn it

I want it but I’m on gnome

dysprosium ,

Wait, are you being sarcastic right now?

dysprosium ,

I’m on boost so perhaps im not seeing something, but what does “/s” to do with a spoiler tag? Aren’t they two completely different things? If you’re being sarcastic, you just put /s, right? That’s what I’ve always done…

dysprosium ,

It’d’ve’bin funnier if you said: everything written on the internet is meant to be taken sarcastically cuz that’d include your own comment then

dysprosium ,

you make a fair point.

spoiler/s ha actually no. ::: spoiler spoiler /s ok yes

dysprosium OP ,

I know, but I’ve headaches since I was about 10 (now almost ~30), and the only causes for this that I can seriously come up with is: being sensitive af in general, which then leads to being (subconsciously) easily stressed, which then, results in headache. This happens during the day, but I also (more) frequently wake up with a headache for no reason. This even happens in the summer, when I’m not doing ANYthing (no school, university, work). I am generally perfectly healthy. I am hydrated, eat healthy, etc. I don’t exercise an awful lot, but when I do (for months), I barely notice any difference.

Being “sensitive” (whatever that means exactly) is the only weird but plausible explanation. Reading the other comments, though, like sleep apnea, I’m curious if that’s anything…

dysprosium OP ,

Sleep apnea very sounds interesting, I haven’t thought about that. Perhaps worth testing for, thanks for the suggestion. I do not have any other medical issues, nor can it be any withdrawal symptom since I did not take any other medication before my adhd or coffee habit. So did you have headaches in the morning? Is that solved now?

dysprosium OP ,

good question, I wish I knew… I am perfectly healthy as far as I can tell. Have had it since I was 10. Perhaps stress that I am incapable of getting rid of, even if don’t have ANY obligation. It’s like its an inherent part of me, never letting go of me…

dysprosium OP ,

I asked the doctor that prescribed the adhd meds, but he said it’s no problem with paracetamol. However, I did not explicitly mention taking it at the exact same time. If I take them 5 minutes apart, the painkiller is already far less effective. All taken on an empty stomach.

Not taking paracetamol for many months did not lessen the headache whatsoever.

dysprosium OP ,

I did many times but most of the time I was just advised to “try eating and sleeping better” which I kind of already did, but improving those did not make a difference whatsoever. I also went to many physiotherapists and one manual orthopedic doctor. Nothing was ever improved.

Except one time when I went to a acupuncturist who also added some spiritual woo, and that actually remedied a part of it.

dysprosium OP ,

I get headaches from weed

dysprosium OP ,

Good point. I’ll check. Though I’m not sure if that is the only point of relevance. What if the overal ‘output’ of the liver is still exceeded? Aka it’s just working overtime producing those different enzymes.

dysprosium OP ,

What happens if you just have either coffee or the Adderall in the morning, without the painkiller drug?

Not tested excessively, but quite sure it’s not relieving the headache whatsoever.

I do not exercise. Usually I cycle to uni about 40mins a day, 4 times a week. I’ve exercised more rigorously in the past, running each day, but the effect is not significant… So unfortunate. But exercise is quite wearisome

dysprosium OP ,

Wow interesting! I’ll be saving for a pillow like this. I thought about measuring blood pressure in the morning, as well. But I doubt these things come cheap. I’m curious though how you linked cannabis is causing headache to, nerves in my neck area might be causing headaches. I’ve been cooking up a lot of potential (intermediate) causes, but nothing like this.

dysprosium OP ,

I’ll try. Don’t think it will have a happy ending though

dysprosium OP ,

Usually it will not go away the whole day. Only in the evening that it starts to subside. And when I decide to take it, I need to do it in a specific way. E.g. direct lying extremely comfortably, but not sleeping, or it won’t be as effective. Or drinking coffee in front of my pc. And a few other ones. I don’t get why but I usually just feel what specific ‘ritual’ works best for any given moment. Sometimes I guess wrong and the headache won’t disappear. This combination with coffee and adhd med seems to work best though.

dysprosium OP ,

I tried this as well. I bought a (DIY) mouth guard. Did not do much if anything, unfortunately.

This was at the same time I heard about injecting botox in your head skin and jaw to relax muscles. Sounds weird but worth a try

dysprosium OP ,

Yes. Don’t drink alcohol. I have had many long periods when I don’t drink any caffeine at all. No difference in experience/headaches

dysprosium OP ,

So it’s possible both localized vasodilation and vasoconstriction are causing these headaches, considering the times the headache is worst ("cannabis use or after waking up) and mild but constant (after stimulants like caffeine).

But caffeine is not causing any headaches. Did I accidentally imply that somewhere? It’s rather enhancing the painkiller’s effect. In fact, a few times I drank around 14 espressos just for fun and curiosity, and I never got any headaches. Although, normally, if I don’t also drink a glass of water immediately afterwards, I have a reasonable chance of developing a headache, which is not due to dehydration, oddly enough, because drinking other hydrating substances (like milk in the coffee) does not help; It has to be water. Another reason to think this is that the headache can already start a few minutes in, which is way too fast for dehydration to happen.

I know this doesn’t add any value (and probably only confusion), but taking coffee at certain times, as well as sugar and other kind of (especially processed) foods, does indeed lead to headaches, but these moments are just random moments during the day (or week) which I can only just intuitively feel; so I can feel when they are ‘at play’, it’s like I’m just more ‘vulnerable’ to certain substances at these moments. That’s the only difference. Took me years to realize. I know this sounds wacky as hell. Way too weird and vague. Especially considering I have no allergies or any other medical condition whatsoever (same for family members). (Yes perhaps ADHD but even I doubt that to some extend.) So perhaps best to ignore this last paragraph, because I don’t know what to make of it, except being just sensitive.

I’m living in west europe. These blood pressure machines are actually not that expensive. God, I feel stupid to not have searched for this sooner. I even see the Omron devices for ~70 euros. I’m in great student loan debt but I’ll gladly make room for this device

dysprosium OP ,

Only a general practitioner (a general doctor, right?). Although, no headache specialist, I have visited some people, like many physiotherapists, one manual orthopedic doctor, and one acupuncturist.

Yep, I try to record my input and output to some extend. My ‘journal’ up til now is really weird, vague, and incomplete. I can probably try a kind of (mentally) relaxing exercise but honestly don’t know what. Something like yoga indeed, but not sure if exactly that is something for me.

dysprosium OP ,

can’t argue that!

dysprosium OP ,

good point, but I always thought this was not very uncommon actually, idk

dysprosium OP ,

yes… what you describe is actually my main hypothesis regarding headache as well. Subconscious stress build-up, basically. But to make this problem probably unsolvable is that I’m even subconsciously stressed in the holidays. Even if I go live with my mother for a few months, not having to do ANYthing but relax, I think I am still not relaxed. Perhaps it’s not stress but I think it probably is. So I think I have to force relaxation somehow, because apparently I am unable to do so myself. Being tense does run in a family a bit. I’m just fucked.

Perhaps botox injection in the scalp can help. I know, it sounds perhaps crazy if you’re not familiar with it, but this is legit practice, the acid forces the tiny muscles around the scalp to temporarily relax. Just throwin’ it out there :S

dysprosium OP ,

I’ve been drinking a lot more water the last 5 years which lessened the headaches a little bit. But tbh, I think I drink enough water actually, hard to say exactly how much, but at least before bed (quite) a few glasses of water. During the day (when outdoors) I could probably drink more water, but my body fairly readily produces a lot of urine, or I just have a small bladder, but I’m more inclined to the former one. But waking up with a headache caused by dehydration is unlikely due to drinking the night before bed. I varied the amount of water, but had little effect, except needing to go to the bathroom 5 times before falling asleep. (Not that the water is holding me back from sleeping, but I usually read in bed 1-2 hours, so my kidneys start doing their thing. On that note, reading posture is also unlikely a cause since I only started reading recently (~few years).)

I sometimes do eat a lot of candy (and have throughout my life), but still, even with many months of abstaining from it, there was no difference in headaches. I did not ever take any glucose test. (I once almost did.)

The ADHD diagnosis and med are still relative recent things (~since start of 2024). I’m still experimenting with the meds, what their exact effects are on me, etc. I think they make my head a bit more calm, empty, relaxed, but idk yet, I’m skeptical and cynic of everything until I have tested it thoroughly. I’ve been on and off of the meds, actually… The psychiatrist said it was ok to do this. But whatever, they’re more here to help me study, rather then help me in life.

dysprosium OP ,

Perhaps you’re hitting the nail on the head. My blood pressure is apparently normal (at least during the day). But perhaps it is indeed too high for me. It feels plausible but idk what that is worth. I’m going to ask my doctor to test this idea. Not sure yet which med for lowering blood pressure is good. I thought that Beta blockers were specifically for headache patients. Perhaps this is why… Also, apparently ACE inhibitors and ARBs are also blood pressure lowering agents. Any experience with those…?

dysprosium OP ,

is there no overhaul to copy ideas from one to another? Or overseer to somewhat keep a consistent theming?

dysprosium OP ,

other languages are just guinea pigs for the English wiki I gather

dysprosium OP ,

weird

dysprosium OP ,

this settings page does not exist on desktop, only on the mobile version. If I go to en.m.wikipedia.org I can see it on desktop, but it’s not on en.wikipedia.org. It also does not save settings from mobile version to desktop version…

dysprosium ,

well the sync issues im talking about are quite specific use cases which you wouldnt encounter on the regular. See my post for reference. It’s about searching specific communities on difference instances from another instance. Then, only the communities with very little traffic will not be synced. I’ve no idea what my instance’s latest version is. Can a non-admin even check that?

dysprosium ,

If it’s the latest version, then talking to instance admins wouldn’t be of any help, because every instance suffers from the same issue…
