Can’t believe you’re still in the grays, and after having a featured story, too. :\ That’s no fair!

This makes me wonder. If Trump wasn’t the president while all these rich assholes are going down for sexual harassment/assault/rape, would he maybe be facing some actual consequences right now? Sigh.

It probably helps a ton to be in a good mental state, because of the whole stress thing. Being in “don’t fuck with me” mode is a really good idea actually! Like when parents use “monster spray” or whatever before their kids go to bed to scare away the monsters.

Anecdotal, but I never even tried to make a sound during my episodes (too scared). I’m sure it’s possible, being in a paralyzed state, in addition to the feeling of not being able to breathe properly.

I wondered about the first incident with the dad crawling, too, but figured since she said she was able to move, it didn’t fit with the typical signs of sleep paralysis. Of course there’s no way for me to know lol- I’m just armchair diagnosing.

I only tried to watch it once, and yeah, it’s a lot of super creepy reenactments. Mostly shadow people lurking around the sleeping person with spooky lighting. I turned it off after about 20 minutes for the same reason you dont want to watch, so I’m not sure if they ever get to the science part. I don’t mind hearing…

Yeah, at least when you have sleep paralysis enough times, it becomes significantly less scary. After I found out what it was and that it had a name, the visual/audio hallucinations weren’t as terrifying or didn’t happen at all. I don’t have it 2-3 times a week like you, but I always know when I’m having an episode,…

Me too. I know there’s a scientific explanation for it, but there’s so much about sleep that we don’t understand yet.

Right!? I’m calling CPS.

About the “Natalie’s Dad” story: That second incident with both the parents and their angry expressions, not being able to move, the feeling of dread... that was definitely sleep paralysis.

I guess daddy is really rubbing off on her.

Most people get angry at god because of a horrible tragedy. A loved one dies, etc. Bill is angry at god because he’s a disgusting pervert? I mean, wut. Is he angry because God “made” him this way, or because he got caught and lost his dumb job...? Anyway, what an asshole.

I recall when he was in the news for all his disgusting shit a couple years ago, but didn’t know if any actual consequences came of it. Disappointing he’s not in prison, but I guess this is better than nothing...?

I think what they’re trying to say is that (in Mayim’s opinion) modest dress should act as a type of obstacle against sexual harassment/rape, like the locked door against a burglary analogy. But when people dress provacatively (“leave the door unlocked”) we blame them for it, but don’t blame the person who left the…

Even as a kid in the 90s with no sense of fashion, I thought those hats were so ugly.

Agree. Maybe if she made some offhand remarks at some point and regretted them later, but she wrote an entire article about it, ffs. “Apology” not accepted.

I’ve only ever heard of Mormons doing the hole in the bedsheet thing. But I’m pretty sure it’s a joke, anyway.

She’s also young enough to be his daughter. I love Jeff Goldblum but ...gross.

Those cheeks!!!

Same. He and Ian McKellen are the grandpas of my dreams.
