#46 longest you've gone without sleep in Off Topic
alderi've honestly never gone over 24 hours, dunno how people do it
i pass out after being up for 18~ish

That's the biggest hurdle! Usually somewhere between 18 and 22 hours for me, but after that it's like the longer you stay awake, the more awake you will feel.

I've never gone past 49 hours, because the edge of staying up that long starts to be more of a cost than a benefit. But I do go past 24, into the 30-40 hrs territory pretty often (once every three weeks on average?) Yesterday I was awake for 37 hours.

Something I think is really important to consider/understand on this topic is that you shouldn't do this if you don't want to be awake really bad in the moment. Staying awake past 20 hours can be god fucking awful when you don't want to do it. However, the more fucking amped to be awake and do shit you are, the better the experience is. You flip the duality on it's head, being in control of your body, rather than it being in control of you. This is why most people who don't enjoy it are people doing it for challenge or insomniacs.

I don't know if it has to do with like your body kicking into a heightened sense of awareness or some fight/flight shit, but I love staying awake for a really long time, especially when you got something you're psyched to be working on or do during that time. Frequently, I feel way more awake, more human, more ALIVE, in those days than I ever do in a normal one. Also, I often make progress on chains of thoughts simply due to how long I've been in awake. When you wipe the fucking slate every 16 hours and have to reorient yourself every morning, it can be limiting in a way. Ever make some huge revelation, think really hard about something, or write a big essay about some important topic, then go to bed, wake up, and the mindstate you were in the night before has slipped away? This is the only way to avoid this. Granted you are mentally active, 40 hours awake can give you a lot more time within the same general thinking session to connect ideas and add new layers to pyramids of associated thought. I could go on forever about this, thx for making thread.

#5 E-sports dieting in TF2 General Discussion

let me know if you need a guinea pig. half of my diet is already made up of oats and rice, i sleep on the floor, and have been in a cycle of my sleep growing later by an hour each day for two years.

i've got lots of great ideas that would benefit your team too, like finger riddles and 'brain games'

also, make sure the team is constantly high, this means refilling your glass every hour tops

#22 Headphone suggestions in Hardware

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-380-PRO-Headphones/dp/B001UE6I0G

30 bucks over your budget, but I can't recommend these enough. My pair is going strong after 4 and half years of extensive, extensive use. Designed for monitoring purposes with a flat frequency response in mind. In other words, they are intended for accurate playback, not a scooped midrange or exagerrated sub bass (for instance) like many consumer headphones will have. Whenever I listen to other headphones, they can have interesting nuances but almost always feel off in a certain way. While their eccentricities may bring the magic out in some recordings, they will completely disgrace others. This pair is like a neutral point of frequency response I know I can always rely on – they sound fantastic too!

I've recommended them to a few friends over the years who were looking for new headphones and they've all been immensely satisfied with their purchase. Good luck matt

#36 b4nny vs paddie in Off Topic

I think humans like to see people angry, because in our modern world its the only time people seem to 100% straightforward give a damn about something. Or, better put, it's the only time they seem to give a damn, because they are passionate and convicted about something, rather than just strictly factual. We obviously recognize people are serious when they talk about "we're putting on this event" or "__ is casting this match", etc., but that all just kind of passes by the brain because there is no UMPH behind it. Like a week from now, will you remember exactly what time your lunch with someone was, or will you remember that thing the person you met with expressed they were pissed about? Both are 'genuine' pieces of information, but one feels like it means more. Beyond informational statements like "this is when this event is happening", it feels like in everyday life its so rare anyone says something with total intent, because we're all so ready to call each other out on bullshit instantly or make a laugh about something. Anger feels so refreshing, because it's like people communicating or thinking with the defense walls down. That's their bottom line. No more finicking around or pretending like they do or don't care. - - - - The main reason anger is interesting to me as a concept is because it points to the fact that the rest of our lives are full of so much superficiality and failure to be unapologetically honest (like when we are angry), which of course are things we don't have to be, but things we choose to be. I'm guilty of it all the time, not going through the minuscule effort to really explain my piece of mind or fight for small points of contention, because it just doesn't seem worth it to rock the boat. And that's a helpful instinct in a lot of cases, there's good reason we evolve (throughout our lives, not in a macro biological context) to keep our mouth shut, or avoid sticking our neck out in moments where the prospect of succeeding in your persuasion wouldn't offer enough of a gain to justify the risk to initiate the verbal conflict. But the ironic thing is we just end up hurting ourselves. Even if it seems totally stupid to express your opinion about something that is disputed by the people around you, because it's such a small point, you're wasting your own time by selling out your own beliefs to get along with people who probably aren't the best fit. If they would be put off by whatever you might have wanted to say but didn't, then those people aren't worth your self-censorship in order to woo them over anyway.

#36 Public Service Announcement in TF2 General Discussion

Look up/read Dr. Terry Lynch's books "Depression Delusion" and "Beyond Prozac". It's the other side of the coin that the over-prescribing psychiatry industry deliberately fails to consider and address. No pill comes without consequences or side effects. The concept of a 'neuro-chemical imbalance' being the cause of mental illnesses is highly disputed by a wide variety of medical professionals and sources in Lynch's arguments against this disinformation.
