dozens of comments and quotes from the asmrtist being like THIS ISNT A SEX THING and theyre all ew i hate sexy baby voices it's not sexy...

It does absolutely nothing for me except irritate me somewhat, but I can't knock it either. I actually just played this exact video for someone very close to me who has PTSD and a host of other health issues, and it put him into instant relaxation mode. He can't take Xanax because he has end-stage liver disease, so…

it's not supposed to be sexy...soooooo

as someone who has ASMR i can super confirm it's not sexual. like ffs my first trigger was bob fuckin ross.

Surprised how dismissive Jez is of this.

OK. From someone who has ASMR and watches Maria on the regular I'm a little on the defense. Not everyone experiences ASMR so I totally get that it seems really weird from the outside. Even among those that have it, everybody has different triggers (I like soft spoken voices with accents but I can't stand really loud…

Or could it be, as this paper suggests, that as one partner becomes successful the other loses confidence?

Believe me, I understand that if you don't "get" this, it must seem really strange. Maybe kind of crazy. But for those of us who do, it's pretty great. I first discovered Maria a little over a year ago. I saw an article on ASMR I think on Vice, and there was a short video of her. I started playing the video, and was…

I'm a Reiki Master, so I often get the same sensation doing it for myself, or getting a Reiki session. I also can sometimes get in that state through meditation.

I have always experienced this and only recently discovered there is a name for it, and that these videos exist. I have awful chronic insomnia and these videos/sounds are the only thing that consistently help me fall asleep without drugs.

yeah, that guy's behavior is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

my old job was a FUCKING shit show, but i was the only person who was even remotely capable with dealing with queer issues. or frankly any sensitive issues.

i have had to be brought into meetings to help a trans employee explain to a male employee who was telling everyone and anyone who expressed interest in her that she was a transwoman. i don't think, even after she and i spoke to him, he really understood how LEAVING HER HOUSE is dangerous for her. or that OTHER PEOPLE…

'"GIRL THESE HIGHLIGHTS, JUST NO."'

I am crying.

They couldn't find any reason it happened. It's happened once like that before, and in clusters as well, but that was 8 or 9 years ago. My blood sugar and iron were fine, EKG was perfect, they didn't really do any neuro tests. In the ambulance my heart rate dropped dangerously low and my blood pressure bottomed out as…

that sounds suspicious, I mean fainting is normal but convulsing would concern me. Do not shower when you are alone in the house. I would for sure follow up with your OB and then ask about driving, as well as for a referral to a high risk dr.

The Pirate Bay has been up for over a day now at PirateBay.cr - But this is Gizmodo, so I understand

Careful, if you keep walking around with your nose stuck so high up in the air someone might steal your wallet.

My pup Buster had a growth on his nose removed last week (benign, thank god). Because of where it was, they had to put him completely under, and he was SO stoned that night. Sadly, though, it wasn't the fun kind of stoned—he was just confused and scared and in pain. All he wanted to do was cuddle with me with as much…
