  • Whoa, that post history. Now I have to wonder if this is a fetish or if OP has an obsessive/compulsive disorder.

  • Why do they still dye the rivers green for St. Patricks Day? It's not a good look for downtown Chicago.

  • I like that you're thinking of alternatives, though! Don't ever lose that, it's less common than you might think.

  • Seriously. If these "media pros" are actually concerned, it appears my personal server adheres to higher standards than their industry.

  • Check out OP's post history. They whine a lot about women, especially feminists and the pay gap, and Muslims in that cringy way boomer men more often do. Pretty sure they're a boomer.

  • It'd be bad. Real bad. An algae bloom of massive proportions. It has one huge issue.

    Enough algae to make the rivers run green will use up enough oxygen at night to kill off fish and oxygen hungry invertebrates, starting a chain reaction of death.

    Now you have a river full of dead organisms, so they start decomposing thanks to microbes. You know what many types of bacteria love? Oxygen. So they start using up oxygen, multiplying all the while. Night hits and the algae need to use oxygen, but a bunch die because there's not enough. Now the river is full of literally hundreds, maybe thousands of tons of decomposing matter. The river largely goes anoxic (meaning there's no oxygen) so things start dying left and right. A bunch of those bacteria can live with and without oxygen, so they use up what they can and keep on chugging without.

    Now we've moved from aerobic respiration to anaerobic. You know what the primary byproducts of anaerobic respiration are? Organic acids and alcohols, which smell. The river begins to smell like an infected wound. It's no longer green but deep, murky brown from the suspension of decomposing organisms. This continues until the river flushes everything out, but it kills what's downstream as it continues until it hits the ocean, where it likely continues to kill everything in the vicinity until it becomes dilute enough.

    I'm a microbiologist and worked with algae and cyanobacteria as an undergrad. Never underestimate the impact of uncountable billions of trillions of living organisms.

  • Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?

    Jump

  • There's a great book called Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. It's mostly a primer on how CPTSD works but does have content on what to do about it. Just putting a name to things is huge.

    I started with the audiobook, primarily listening to it on my drive home. I knew it had nailed it for me when I realized I had spent an entire week's worth of commutes home rage crying.

  • Or complex PTSD. That's what I have and the two have a TON of behavioral overlap. My therapist and I spent a good amount of time determining if I was autistic or not.

  • I'm also disabled. We tend to refer to this as the "disability tax". Anything that could potentially be billed to insurance or for which there are no other options is incredibly expensive. If we can't afford it or don't have insurance, we're always welcome to go die under a bridge somewhere. Gotta pay for the owner's yacht.

  • What is a discreet way of waking myself?

    Jump

  • This works very well. Our girls get fed at 8 am, so they collectively wake up and start losing their shit, crying for food and rubbing all over us, around 6 to 6:30 am.
