As a 37 year old High Functioning Autistic cunt, I'm finally learning some simple things that everyone else has been aware of their whole lives. Even if it is only an hour or so per day, we need to take breaks from the mental exhaustion. Personally, I like to play intense online first person shooters. Yeah, I know, seems like a counter productive choice but I can do it all day and possibly in my sleep. Sometimes, when you least expect it - you'll get clarity/epiphanies which one would never have come up with from intense DIGGING and physical/mental exhaustion [nourishment is key also. 3 days without red meat and I'm useless even in basic conversation]. We all hit the wall sometimes. Know your own minds/bodies and treat them with the respect they deserve. When I'm not here at GA, I'm hard at it being the best single father of two girls with disabilities that I can be. The rest of my time is spent digging, pondering, learning. We are not machines. We are only human. Know when to push the screen aside for a bit and take 5 [or 17]. We are no good to anyone at our worst. Stand fast. WWG1........... you know the rest ;)

Rest, nutrition and exercise. After lifting heavy, I feel rejuvenated for about 3 days.
This IS the way. A healthy mind is nothing without a healthy body to carry it.
I just bought 2 dumbells to use at home a few weeks ago (I don't normally lift) and it's crazy how good I feel after lifting
Keep at it. God is with you, we are with you.
Thank you, fellow pede. We are all in this together.
Yep. I'm 53.I've been up starring at this screen for more than 23 hours straight. I've had exactly 16 hours of sleep total in the last 5 days. I'm completely exhausted. Also i crushed my hand at work about 4 weeks ago and its still swollen and I can't move some of my fingers. i can't get proper medical care because of the whole COVID scam. And I guess even if I could, I wouldn't want to be in the hospital too long. There's too much going on right now and after following Q for more then 3 years it's finally coming to fruition... also the whole world is riding on this. The Great (evil) reset vs The Great Awakening. I know in the end God wins but I'm afraid of missing a thing. .... I REALLY do need to go get at least a couple of hours sleep though.... I've had to correct this multiple times. my eyes are crossing I think.
You already know the correct course of action that is right FOR YOU. You will not heal without rest and nutrition, fellow pede. I understand this is heating up beyond belief [worldwide] but everything will be here when you wake and in your abscence - we'll pick up the slack. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We have ALL been that link at one point or another - to push the envelope will only cripple us a whole. Rest up, brother.
Thank you for your kind words. It actually made me feel better. I am going to go lay down for a bit now though. I'll be forever upset though if I miss the tweet that we've ALL been waiting for! I'll be back in a bit.
Eat, do some light exercise (walking outside is great), rest. We'll all be here when you come back.
Took some weed now. Gonna take a rest. I appreciate this post bro <3
It is a thing of beauty seeing this movie from so many perspectives. It is tough to say no. We are part of history.
Even if you don't believe Q. DECLAS IS COMING
I am quite similar and I bounce around with different types of activities on purpose.
I own 3 companies, have almost 40 employees and have just recently learned that I am happiest and most productive when I an deeply involved in a task for 90-120 minutes and then go to something that requires a totally different thought pattern (that I may be needing to do just as badly) for 30-90 minutes.
If I just go about hammering the same subject all day long, I see a demonstrable decline about 5-6 hours in and seeing as I am an early riser, that puts me petering out around lunch time, mentally.
I have even picked up messing with our photography equipment, and blogging, as well, for content creation. I never imagined myself 'a fishing/hunting all sports playing MAN' picking up a camera and learning about photography and the science and data behind the art, but who knows where different things take you.
Godspeed.
Been playing Fallout 2 lately to relax. Worst case scenario, it's helping me prepare. Once I find some power armor I'll be fine.
I try to limit myself to checking this site and other resources in the morning and at night. It's especially important to NOT check this place last thing before bed.
When you say intense shooters, what specifically are you referring to? Ever heard of Escape from Tarkov or Scum?
CS:GO. I've been playing it since CS 1.5
Oh I thought you said hardcore shooters lol
I used the word "intense". I only play DM and half the faggots are cheating. Top 3 every round.
Yea I’m pretty dumb sometimes. I know you said intense but in my mind was thinking hardcore. I guess they are pretty different because CS is intense but I definitely wouldn’t say hardcore. Tarkov feels like more of a horror game without any of the horror elements from what you’d call a horror game than any game in the horror genre, and it’s just an in depth pvp/pve rpg/shooter. It’s a horror because it simulates gunfights that well, with how confusing and chaotic it all is.
Sounds RAD!! I'll have to check it out, thank you, Pede!
I needed to read this! Thanks, pede!
This is lovely, and much needed advice for me
I still haven't really learned. I get seized up physically to the point of being crippled, exercise for a few days, get better, forget to maintain exercise, repeat. Also haven't slept properly for 4 years (I used to occasionally get/need 14hours in bed), but might be the young-uns that did that. I must've lost half a stone since the election too. And jaw ache all the time. But, not long now.
I'm so looking forward to getting a 3070 and jumping back into Sea of Thieves after all this is over. God I miss being able to relax. BUT THIS IS WAR GOD DAMN IT
