>>649374 oh yeah this was an ACTUAL footnote in vol 4 >4 HUMINT standpoint In a nutshell, HUMINT is the gathering of intelligence from interpersonal conversations and the media. There was once an era during which Communism was particularly attractive, and there were Communists milling about all over the place. Recruitment was so easy! By the way, Carlo Zen is hoping to recruit people as “Communthusiasts.” Keep your wits about you!
!C0.PerkELE
did some research into it and it seems the whole socialist zen seems to come from his earlier work being set in some socialist country and him being into communist style art, ie uniforms and so on
btw just noticed that zizek and old luke skywalker look really alike

the authoritarian enthusiast s in asia are amusing though like the people in thailand etc dressing up in SS-uniform copies for school festival etc just because it looks cool

It's happening 19:30 on a Friday it's really, really unlikely I'll be downtown around that time. My last class on Fridays ends at 15:00 and I don't really have much reason to hang around for four and a half hours.
What the fuck DOES "Let's get this bread" actually mean. I //A friend of mine was using it a week or so back and I don't understand it one bit.
Kirara, the Princess
It means "let's get out there and work hard" Work hard -> get paid -> buy bread
The full phrase is usually "rise and grind, let's get this bread" So it's like, get up and get your shit going, it's time to work hard and get paid so we can eat

>>649798 wew my own last name is literally "name of a farm by a lake" which is amusing in a sense, since there was a large "clan" of people named that who even have a town named after them, who i am not related to at all. also the branch of my family that moved here switched from "oös farm name" to vurrent one, just for shut and giggles *old

It’s a shame I didnt make or need an aurelia for this
she had this one spell called "don't died onegai" she almost never used it but for some reason it became a popular phrase in our campaign
!C0.PerkELE
so what did it do prevent death once?
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
i dont even remember?? i think it either gave // i think it was the song that Rations is based on where it gives temp hit points until the end and then it grants a recovery but it might have been blur, where every attack against someone has to roll a d6 and if it gets a 5, the attack is negated
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
aurelia ended up becoming deeps and was dealing like 100-200 damage per turn most of the time
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
by the end o the game she was just this incredibly ridiculous bard throwing insane damage around and destroying enemies with a magic bone that she threw at enemies and she would just do ridiculous shit with reach tricks
one time cordell, Jan's character, died and she impaled his corpse on a spear and gave it a pumpkin head and claimed she'd brought him back to life until he actually got resurrected she got the power to use elf racials at one point and always forgot to use them
>>649833 i think i just broke it tbh but it fit aurelia well who was a fucking insane idol who was a human that believed she was an elf despite all evidence to the contrary
!C0.PerkELE
seems kinda wrong way to play bard or have a bard designed
FormerRei@mobile

Kafka's The Trial is hard to read. Not because it's Kafka but because he forgets character names sometimes? Like K's uncle was Karl and then suddenly he's Albert and the footnote is just like "Kafka must have forgotten his name was Karl" ok
>>649848 To be fair, it was published after Kafka's death and even the actual order of the chapters is unknown.
!C0.PerkELE
daily cute >>649849 so it might have not been finished or rather seems like it wasn't
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
It was finished, more-or-less. But it wasn't intended to b published, he wasn't satisfied with it He stuffed it away somewhere, the chapters all separated in files, and just left there until a friend found it.
!C0.PerkELE
kinda comparable to SIlmarillion then >>649851 kinda rude it was published then as it was
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
all three of Kafka's big novels were published after his death even though he never readied them for publication
!C0.PerkELE
Kinda reminds me of Aleksis Kivi, who died poor and insane and is now regarded as FInland's best author with all of his work having been published by the woman who took care of him, had it been left to him, all of his work would have burnt or just rotted
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
It's weird how that can happen. Kafka actually burned a lot of his unfinished/unpublished books and stories before he died, but some survived.
Camus spoke very highly of the Trial, though, which is why I decided to read it.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
in terms of the content, it's a good novel, but i can see why he wasn't keen to publish it the narrative at times is entirely the protagonist's perspective, but then at other times, there are long sweeping descriptions of things the protagonist shouldn't seem to know such specifics about

I will never want to live in a place that is dependant on train for transport ever again VR is bullshit
!C0.PerkELE
Bus travel is much better, since the public company running it has several different bus companies competing for the lines so if one fucks up, they hire a better one to drive those lines. How a service should truly be provided, meritocracy based. Well ofc, it isn't perfect and I bet there are underhanded deals for the companies the top brass like etc. But it DOES run a lot better than the monopoly trains or trams or metro and after they stopped running the buses themselves and moved to the "hire bus companies to do it" the bus service became a lot better. And there is the down side that the bus companies running the lines aren't actually servingthepeopleonboardthe *buses but rather the public transit company, that is their customer So some drivers are indeed told to prioritise the overall task, that is running the lines, instead of serving the passengers afterall, the passengers don't pay them they pay the public transit company which btw is mostly tax funded
Anno
>>649926 it all depends on how you tell it man Blue told us a story about thinking he was locked out of his house for several hours when he wasn't but he made it fun
!C0.PerkELE
>>649929 no it literally is "I wake up 20-30 mins later in leppävaara, espoo, wait 40 minutes for next train, go back to nearest station that has the switch, wait another 30+ mins for train and then sit on it for 10 odd minutes for a 4 minute trip in normal weather and then walk home to cold dinner"
AnnoAnno
>>649930 see that's a little better now just dress it with pointless prose and you've got a classic story

I have a lot more interesting stories to tell instead of that ie when i got offered a ride to city centre by a random immigrant guy and talked about how shitty finnish/eu immigration policy was and other random shit during the ride to the city centre all because I was visibly limping due to injuring my leg earlier that night
!C0.PerkELE
and then chit chatted almsot an hour with a night guard, before the metro started running
!C0.PerkELE
also talk about luck >arrive literally on the time when last bus to my homeof that time leaves >but almost an hour before metro starts running last bus being a night line replacing the metro
!C0.PerkELE
Speaking of VR, it is sometimes amusing what their reasons for being late are ie. >leaves on tracks but as far as I know, there have been 0 accidents, not counting people intentionally or accidentally falling on the train tracks, during their run time of the helsinki metropolitan area traffic ofc down the country side there have been some, usually being "car stuck on tracks" like most recent few years back, when an army truck got stuck in the tracks and a train rammed it at top speed due to poor visibility everyone onboard the trcuk died

Yeah I can imagine. That's the sort of thing that's really rife for interpersonal drama and that shit's EXHAUSTING.
i am a pretty experienced tard wrangler but raiding guilds and social guilds seem to have pretty unique dynamics in that respect the kind of cliquey tooth-faced bullshit in question here just wears me out a different way than juggling feelings over skill and loot >>649948 pretty much this >>649949 i think it can be both engaging and tiresome like babysitting really depends on who the charge is too
>>649951 >playing a modern mmo without joining a circle jerk not gonna happen fam they don't make games like that anymore
Anno
Yeah, not playing an MMO -Playing an MMO and not joining a guild is effectively denying yourself huge swathes of the game's content. They're pretty much all structured around delivering a social experience like that.

my dad tried to get me into little league when i was young i'd hit the ball and if i ever got to a base, i'd be wiping the dust off the base that got dirty and not paying attention when the next batter hit the ball i got in trouble a lot for daydreaming and not paying attention

the self is an illusion we create because it's easier to view ourselves as an object than as whatever our consciousness actually is

externalizing the self is the only way im able to care for the self if it's me im just gonna treat it like shit it inadvertently causes a lot of persecution complex or maybe not the complex, but feelings of persecution and victimization because i'll stick up for the self like it's somebody else but there are things that don't flow when representing yourself and it becomes whiny instead of important

another day without work which means another day i don't have to take an adderall every time i go off the adderall i start studying proteins and pharmacology and don't notice that a whole week has passed but i guess that's not productive so i gotta take a stimulant so i can type redundant information out and be productive for society
Anno
maybe you can save em up and sell them to kids
Anno
>>650153 productivity is a scam invented by the tsars to grow more potatoes it doesn't even make your brain feel good like folding proteins
月
competency exists in a system where there's drive to improve performance and drive to compete (hence competency) and the things im really good at and immersed in and competent at are illegal now so these lesser systems don't satisfy any drive for me and can't quench that stimulation so i have to take a stimulant in order to create artificial drive to be competent in mediocrity i just want to fucking gamble it's not a gambling problem, it's legitimately what i'm competent at and fulfills my natural drives but we can't gamble because dumb people will try to gamble and lose their money and their families will be sad
月
it's like if you took a hunter out from their environment and just gave them food stamps so they could buy stuff at aldi every skill they've built and every natural function and drive they have just has no purpose in that world there is nothing they can do to feel valued or validated or gratified with themselves
月
the gambling we do have is entertainment gambling which isn't even gambling gambling isn't about playing odds or about probability or even about money
月
it's not about thrill-seeking or the rush from risk either despite what people commonly misconstrue it's about validation and about having a system to engage your drives not everyone is stimulated enough to dive into one thing so deeply, and there's constantly the letdown that whatever avenue you go down just cuts off prematurely, like nobody has any reason to go further down it but you want to because you can having somebody else in the world who's willing to go that deeply down that path with you, even in direct competition against you, is such a validation that you can't find anywhere else in the world

this looks like a proper royal capital with proper defenses too
However, I do notice one flaw in almost every fantasy nowadays if people in that world can fly, why aren't there any air defenses?
If you have major threats that can fly in that world, people would develop ways to counter, atleast partially, them. You simply can't copypaste the real world examples of cities to fantasy worlds, if they have stuff that we didn't have back then As an example, if magic can quite easily blow up walls, then walls would be built so that the magic either doesn'taffect them, or there are multiple layers of walls to counter that, or the wall breaks down so, that the rubble can be used as an impromptu barrier. Or whatever Basically, if people can work as artillery, you will have to instead study the era of artillery and the forts of that time, instead of the medieval look.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
it's weird that in a world with malicious dragons their defense against them is a row of archers
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
it's also weird that other nations gave them super weapons and passed it off as "they have an expiration date so it's fine"
!C0.PerkELE
Amusingly only isekai/fantasy anime where I ahve really, well recently, noticed good anti-air and stuff defense was that
uhh something something food trip guy reincarnated in the game world of his own making and used admin powers to accidentally get max level
they had wyvern/flying monster ballistae/magic towers and barriers and so on
!C0.PerkELE
death march
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>650170 i only watched first episode of that i think the dude was a programmer and dropped asteroids on an army to max his level or something, yeah?
!C0.PerkELE
the anime was quite lackcluster adaption but the manga is more enjoyable it takes bit more of its time, the art and chara designs are better and action actually looks like action and not some rpg turn based combat
I guess anti-flyer strategy would have to be similiar to our defenses either a layer of static anti-air artillery in form of some magic weapons, mages or just ballistae/we or detection points, ie magic radar, with quick scrample squads that would intercept and take care of the threat before it can reach anything vital, as the modern doctrine is.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
anti-air mine spells would be useful
!C0.PerkELE
all depends on really what you can do Man they are rushing the last arc in anime

they skipped quite a lot of stuff between sky demonbeast whatever and rimuru arriving in the capital and then just blst through thestudent arc too
AnnoKirara, the Baseball Mom
>>650179 the sky dragon seemed like it'd be a big deal but it only got like one episode the pacing is really weird it was so slow at the beginning but now it's so fast
!C0.PerkELE
>>650181 nah that was also a curbstomp in atleast the manga, but it then lingered bit longer on the merchant also there was longer interraction between the beast kingdom and tempest and also rimuru went to the adventure guild to get ID and learnt demon summoning there and general bit more interraction between rimuru and the kids
!C0.PerkELE
Basically up to orc lord the series went at the right pace, but when charybdis started it just went whooosh I guess they had something like "we need this many novels covered" so they started skimping unimportant stuff to theoverall story, but still fun to read and know about
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>650182 are there any fights that aren't basically a curbstomp?
!C0.PerkELE
so far not really now only real fight has pretty much been orc lord vs rimuru

atleast future freedom fighters in the west will have actual issues to tackle.
!C0.PerkELE
But I think the most amusing part is, when the news came out instead of like outrage or shock everyone was just "ugh" the kind of reaction you have towards say a known person to always do something shitty and then they do something shitty and you are just "just as I unfortunately expected"
>>650194 Yup apparently someone hilighted that some normal say family vids with kids showing up have real "suspicious" to creepy comments so youtube the kind overlord decided that it doesn't need to do anything, and instead will have a video or an entire channel demonetized for comments pushing the issue to the creators rather than themselves, as they are too busy doing much more important things.
!C0.PerkELE
So as of now, since I havn't heard it being removed yet, every youtuber can get their vids canned, if the comment section has anything haram in them. A 10/10 solution
Anno
That's an extremely poor interpretation of the situation. The reality is, ad providers are extremely jumpy about their products being associated with problematic imagery and content like that and can and HAVE pulled their ads, along with the money to both YouTube and content creators
I don't know why I ever bother talking with you is an exercise in tolerating asinine behaviour and futility.
!C0.PerkELE
And youtube solution is still the same YOU CLEAN UP THIS MESS
!C0.PerkELE
>>650198 and I don't get why you are bothered by posts made while you are posting everyone does it to everyone
!C0.PerkELE
Nonetheless, the advertisers put aside now comments can get a safe video disabled and this forces the creators to either remove comment sections, turn on maximum censorship filters or use lots of time and effort to go through the comments and see if anything sticks out. Not to mention, the eventuality when someone goes "hey we can just spam toxic stuff into comment sections to get videos demonetised or taken down" just like how mass flagging to take down videos ro entire channels has been used in the past or fake copyright claims
By no means is it a reasonable solution to this or any kind of issue, holdin people responsible for what their viewers do It is like shutting down say Fox News because someone who saw their news decided to do something stupid or break the law or CNN
!C0.PerkELE
Not only does it enforce creators to either censor their viewers or take their time browsing through every comment for problematic ones But also enforces the mindset that has been growing, that youtube doesn't care a shit about the people who create all the content on it.
It is basically, continuing with allegories, arresting a band, because amongst the audience something illegal, say a fight or a drug deal/use was happening. Completely removing freedom of association, and in this case those people don't even associate really.
!C0.PerkELE
And of course youtube still has their automatic systems in place, that can place a video in limited state or demonitzed or have the money go away to "an ip owner", just because it has a still shot of a publicly available screenshot of a trailer
Say something silly and the automatic filters can fuck your video over, due to not understanding context forcing the creator to do extra work to get it out of that limited state.
And now added to all that worry about youtube filters, algorhitms and others fucking you over, you ahve to also keep a constant watch on your comment section, lest something be deemed problematic or some troll decides to have bots spam something of the sort there.
Indeed, a recipe for success for the traditional youtubers, who don't employ lots of people who can share this kind of workload.

>>650198 I gotta agree with TN on this. The potential for abuse is way too high. And that's my biggest issue with it. I care about the other stuff too.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
it's fine with me personally youtube is a dumpster fire
the videos getting demonized are fucken propaganda anyway
!C0.PerkELE
the first video to get demonitzed because of this, atleast that reached public eye was a family blog of them filming their everyday life and hobby
ToN
to be fair there is also rampant nonsensical demonitization of regular stuff too
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
>>650206 what were the comments that got it demonized
!C0.PerkELE
Dunno really, but apparently they were either creepy enough to be considered pedophile stuff or included some "key phrases" to mask their actual intent
nonetheless >arresting a band because the audience had a fight or >arresting the bar owner because there was a bar fight
!C0.PerkELE
and it were these kinds of comments that kicked off the thing, since pedophile stuff ahs been a problem on youtube ebfore and hit their revenues real bad but that isn't thew ay to handle it.
whole youtube and shit should just die so other smaller companies can rise up to the market
!C0.PerkELE
Oh yeah from jacks to jigs
the anime also skipped how I think king of bulmund tricked Rimuru to sign a non-aggression and a defensive pact with him as in >if the eastern empire ever decide to invade through the forest to grab the kingdoms west of Tempest, he will have to stop that

I think it was kingdom of bulmund, but is been months since I read that chapter maybe even a year

Pretty snazzy Does it say what goes in?
Samu 🗽 !KW2DbpWwls
it was explained that it’s a variation on a Penicillin so probably whisky lemon and honey at least

Yeah that sounds decent
Samu 🗽 !KW2DbpWwls
i think she said ginger and angostura bitters too
Samu 🗽 !KW2DbpWwls
ay it’s not bad i think the ginger smell is kinda strong tho
Anno
I'm fond of a gingery smell. We had some ginger pork tonight and it was pretty tasty. Gosh I'm so full now though.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
i had a weird nightmare last night in it i was horrified by the fear someone else had
Samu 🗽 !KW2DbpWwls
ginger pork sounds either like something delicious or some kind of british slang
in my nightmare, i was in the house i spent my teens in, and there was this guy there who was absolutely terrified that the electricity was going to kill him, like, anything electrical would kill him so i was following him around and his room was where my parents' room was for some reason and he was unplugging everything and then i went over to where my room was and my CD player/AM/FM radio was on and it was just making static sounds. it was on my dresser under the window and outside, there was a broken down fence. for some reason the radio terrified me because i didn't remember turning it on i think so i ran back to the dude and he was freaking out about how they were coming and i remember thinking "this dude is clearly a paranoid schizophrenic" and then he shouted "there!" and i went to turn around but i woke up before i did and when i woke up my heart was beating so fast, i was in like a state of terror even though nothing actually scary happened in my dream, i just got caught up in this crazy dude's paranoia
it was really weird i don't usually wake up from nightmares actually feeling scared so it's especially strange that i did for this one where nothing actually scary happened

what do you mean by can you are you asking if i have the skill with which to do it or if it's possible to interpret them
Samu 🗽 !KW2DbpWwls
dreams are our unconscious becoming drill sergeants and preparing us for real world scenarios
!C0.PerkELE
>>650242 I think dreams are too random, atleast mine, to interpret really
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
the apparent randomness of dreams doesn't make them any less interpretable according to Freudian dream analysis which is actually an astoundingly solid and reasonable system for viewing dreams

Funfact shotguns were considered too inhumane to use during ww1 and using them was considered breaking a treaty, therefore a war crime But gassing your enemies was fine

Almost all of our small spoons have disappeared from the kitchen. Who keeps vanishing all our cutlery.
Kirara, the Baseball Mom
oh no without spoons you're forked
Anno!C0.PerkELE
>>650401 i have a similiar issue with forks, i have 2-3x more knives as them, dedpite originally having only sets...
Anno
I like when cutlery is smaller it's cute
月
i just have a pair of chopsticks i wash them every use
Anno
I'm the only person in my house that really eats anything with chopsticks so there's really only one pair in circulation. We do sometimes use a plastic one as a stirstick for coffee or tea though.
Anno
I can barely use chopsticks that is to say I can't use them
Anno
I like using them. There's something about my chimpanzee brain that feels good about the practice involved in managing them.
Anno月
i use them for everything i think they are easier to use than regular utensils, especially for anything like pasta or chopped vegetables, small stuff i think that if they are made of a good material, they are more sanitary too
Anno
I only use chopsticks when I'm at an Asian restaurant that offers them. I don't find them any more or less useful as utensils. But I observe the law of when in Rome, generally.
!C0.PerkELE
Same fork or spoon much more efficient eating tool
Anno
The most efficient way to eat is with your hands.
月
i guess i dont think about eating utensils too often i should try to make an effort to do so maybe we can set up a google groups page for it maybe start a think tank
Anno
A spork is a pretty efficient utensil too. Surely we can get more efficient tools though. Maybe a spoon that has a bowl which splits into four tines with a mechanism and a handle that can be detached and separated into chopsticks. Just use one piece of cutlery for everything
月
i can't think of very many use cases for a spork personally
月
if the handle is chopsticks then you're putting the part you held into your mouth and thats gross
Anno
>>650417 I think the idea is that it can be a mediocre spoon or fork. So it has lots of use cases but does not serve at a comparable level compared to its constituent parts. >>650418 My idea is that the part you hold would be the end of the chopstick component, and the other end that you'd eat from would slot into the head that forms the spoon bowl/fork tines. Since chopsticks are usually tapered it would be difficult to make it comfortable to hold otherwise, too. But how would it connect together? How would it be ergonomic in terms of length, since chopsticks are a much longer tool generally?
月
if you have chopsticks, i dont see why you'd need the fork i could get the spoon just for liquids but that's really it
Anno
Well, I think it's kind of unwieldy to eat something such as cake with a fork but you could easily do it with the spoon in this case. Maybe a more rational combination would simply be a spoon with chopsticks. >cake with a fork I meant cake with chopsticks. >>650422 I eat cheesecake all the time if you want to allow me to call a tart a "cake".
月
who the h*ck eats cake in 2k19
月
okay yeah cheesecake is a thing
Anno
I can't actually remember the last time I ate a proper cake of any sort. I don't even eat birthday cake at kids birthday parties when my family all goes to them. Cake isn't very good.
>>650426 Yeah it is. Show me a single goddamn speed eater that's using a fork or some shit.

i miss /rs/
Anno
I miss /vip/
Anno
I mean it technically still exists but it sucks more than ever
Anno
Wait it does? I thought they nuked the text boards.
Anno
oh wait no anyway the current vip is just a shitty imageboard but only 4chan pass users can post
FormerRei@mobile
The textboards were still up but they are read only
Anno
>>650434 Oh, guess I didn't remember exactly. I haven't been on 4chan in a couple of years. >>650433 Gross. Old /vip/ was a shitty board too but at least it had ASCII art and culture
!C0.PerkELE
>>650427 it becomes more inefficient as you will need to clean your hands
Anno
>>650436 Yeah, for a whole 20 seconds. You should wash your hands before and after eating anyways. Don't spread germs and shit.
!C0.PerkELE
Some greasy stuff take a lot more than 20secs
Anno
The only time I've ever had to take longer than 20 seconds to clean my hands was when there was auto grease or blood on them. I don't think your average greasy burger or whatever is going to be a big deal.
!C0.PerkELE
eating burgers by hand shoulda lawys be acceptable it feels so weird to eat them with knife and fork at some fine dining
Anno
Yeah if you're eating a burg with a knife and a fork it better be like prime rib burger or something Even then it's a fucking sandwich we invented sandwiches to eat meat and such with our hands
Anno
Then again if I was at a really fancy place with proper table setting and stuff I'd probably do it just so I don't look like a savage But I've only gone to fine dining establishments a couple of times in my whole life and certainly wasn't going to be getting a burger no matter how fancy, the opportunity to eat fancy isn't something I ever usually get
!C0.PerkELE
>>650441 fun to recall, that sandwhiches were indeed invented because some guy wanted to play cards and eat meat and not dirty his hands
!C0.PerkELE
well doubt that is the first iteration of it, but then ame atleast

>>650425 have you tried valerian root with 5htp they synergize a lot more smoothly
!C0.PerkELE
>>650445 pre sandwhich earl o sandwhich must have been damn annoying person to deal with
Anno
>>650446 I haven't tried it. I think I may be out of valerian, too, I haven't taken it in some time since I was using melatonin supplements for sleep instead. I could get some more next time I go to the drug store, I ran out of tylenol the other day too I believe. But it feels like such a waste to go on errands on my days off. Maybe I should wake up earlier on workdays so I can actually go to stores that aren't open after midnight. >>650447 Bet everyone stopped wanting to play cards with him cause he kept getting the cards dirty. Earl of Sandwich is the kind of guy who bends his cards!
月
>>650443 i can see that really well actually that makes a lot of sense
月
>>650448 if you're already familiar with valerian then i guess there's nothing surprising to see there with the 5htp might just put you to sleep i'll always favor valerian root to kratom because it's a more calm, cerebral feeling i dont think valerian is very good for sleeping though even though it's marketed as a sleep aid i take it for focus and to relieve anxiety but it's also just fun
Anno
>>650450 Yeah I took it to help me sleep for a long time when I worked overnight. But it eventually stopped working so well and I started using sleeping pills instead. Or just drinking a lot and passing out every night. But now I use melatonin and it seems to help well enough. Still have some trouble sleeping after working nights though. I find Kratom to be really calming, too. I'll probably go to bed after I finish my last daily roulette in FFXIV. Thank god DMC is coming to save me from getting hooked on this stupid game again.
月
yeah valerian is a pretty effective sedative, but it's really not good for sleeping the best use of its anxiolytic and gabaergic effects would be while you're awake and active i dont think ive ever slept while on kratom, except high doses of reds i sometimes will nod a bit and have a 15-minute cat nap and i don't drink anymore, but that's really never helped me get to sleep either unless it was a lot
i typically fall asleep naturally, but i can take adderall or caffeine to make myself sleep at will pretty much
