| I think that gender differences are mostly caused by social conditioning. This has been tested extensively, and it has been found time and time again that the differences between sexes become more pronounced when you stop treating them as different. While it's true you can find women who are like m... |

| What does a panic attack feel/look like for you? First time I had one I was convinced I was dying of a heart attack and had somebody take me to the emergency room. Started as shortness of breath, then my vision was impaired to the point it was like looking through a pinhole. Heart palpitations, che... |

| Certain fabrics especially polo shirts or general work shirts are always uncomfortable no matter how long I've tried to wear them. So I will forever be known as the 2 shirt guy at work as a result. I found microfibre under shirts the greatest thing invented and I'm certain they will help others here... |

| I once burned out to the point I started having medical delusions and was 100% convinced I was going to die from x ailment. This was several weeks after quitting smoking and it turns out the nicotine was something of an anti-anxiety medication, so while I was blaming the burnout, it was a whole bunc... |

| I remember first noticing something like that a few decades ago when I successfully wrote a program that acted as a flexicurve for joining up points on a graph with a curved line rather than straight lines. At the time I felt that I didn't know what I was doing. But looking back, I think my work wa... |

| I've experienced this a lot especially when either designing web pages or composing music. On the music front, I feel the music itself is almost channeled from another realm, many musicians have spoken about this. I always found it strange I could hear notes and melodies in my head without knowing a... |

Stop relentlessly trying to self-improve and be constantly better, and appreciate what's already around me.
Many people have a lot, or little.
But even fewer have 'enough' |

| No point comparing your collection to others, there will ALWAYS be larger collections out there. I've been collecting Nintendo stuff for 20 years, and lost some over the years too. My advice, just collect things you like and can reasonably afford. And hold them! Who knows what they will be worth dec... |

First rate superhero movie where Dr. Strange must protect a teenage girl with the ability to cross between universes from an unlikely villain. Highly recommended.
Just watched this also, very good |

| Take it, and learn everything you can from them. Once there is nothing left to learn or you find your responsibilities piling up to unbearable levels, move on to somewhere else with your newfound skills. Obviously, if you are appreciated, valued, and not over-burdened. Stay. Employers, and small bus... |

| Started composing tracks about 10 years ago using ableton live. Up until a year or so ago I didn't know any Music theory, so I would hear the music in my head and then spend hours trying to find the matching keys on the keyboard hopefully before forgetting the music forever. In any case here is my c... |

This became unbearable in my 20s to the point I was coming up with new compositions sometimes 20-30 in a single day in my head. This th... |
