I know a lot of homeless people where I'm from suffer from mental illness and drug addiction, and a small subset of them are probably violent. I'm not sure how that makes them unworthy of help though? But regardless of empathy and compassion, wouldn't society be better off if we provided mental health care and helped them get over their addiction? They could even become functioning members of society!

My gf just went though the same thing last week, sounds fucking awful. She just drinks / smokes weed, so not much I can say to help, sorry!

Find yourself some similarly ND friends who you can be yourself with. There's probably clubs around

Maybe, but chances are it'll get taken down in the next few days

Oh dang, that's $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

Have you ever tried listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin? I find he's the right level of captivating to keep me interested, but slow enough that I can still drift off to sleep

My suggestion is to spend maybe half an hour in the evening learninga new hobby/skill, then when you're in bed go over what you learnt in that half hour in your mind to cement it. You'll find that just running over the knowledge in your mind induces the "counting sheep" effect and will help you drift off to sleep.

If it doesn't work, then at least you'll learn a new skill much quicker!

Frugal Usenet works great for me

And carpel in the middle there

They don't have to tell you the truth. It could have been to test whether being told that it's "men vs women" affects the readings test subjects provide

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox
