By the purest definition (being aware that you are dreaming), I lucid dream nearly every night. I never did anything special to achieve this.

But, it's not as fun as they make it sound. At some point, my mind started resisting me. Sure, I can do anything I want... sometimes. However, most of the time, anything I change goes back to the way is was immediately.

I also used to be able to wake myself up while lucid dreaming. For instance, maybe I would be aware that I am napping, and I need to wake up. So, I would. But, my mind now resists that as well. When I try to wake myself up, sometimes I just wake up into another dream. And, for whatever reason, I am not aware that I am dreaming in the new dream.

None of this upsets me too much, but it is annoying. I think it may be related to some sort of mild, generalized sleeping disorder I have. I experience sleep paralysis and insomnia episodes, but they've never been frequent or upsetting enough for me to seek treatment.

Depends on your definition of domesticated, but pet racoons already exist.

Oh, don't worry. They're ending support for old teams soon. You won't have a choice anymore.

Not only are new teams notification banners annoying, new teams no longer makes a noise for every single notification, like it used to. I rather have a ding than a banner, especially since I tend to use all of my screen space.

Unconventional way to take acid, but I support him.

The Brits saw the French silent letters and said "oi, hold me tea."

An interesting case of convergent evolution. I wanna know what this fluid looks like.

Thankfully, not everyone around here is a bigot. My officiator was an employee at the DMV who was very happy to be a part of my gay wedding in the DMV parking lot. Three years this August.

I think that's the guy who popularized Alfredo pasta. There's a great episode of Max Miller's "Tasting History" about it (YouTube).

"Das Kätzchen" = "The Kitten"

No idea who they get to translate these things, but I'd like a word with them.

Organs go to those who follow doctor's orders. The unvaccinated are not a protected class.

There's nothing feminine about being a bisexual guy. Sounds like you want to be androgynous or something. For clarification: I'm not saying bisexual men can't be feminine. I'm saying the two are unrelated.
