  • Emetophobia. Fear of vomiting. I’m super nauseated just thinking about it to type it out. It led to a semi eating disorder when I was young because I didn’t trust any food to be properly kept or cooked. Took a food safety class for work and learned proper food handling and preparation, so I eat a lot better now. But I definitely come off as rude if I don’t trust the person that’s cooking food for me, like my partner’s family, or friends that don’t understand.

    I can’t help friends or loved ones when they’re sick if that’s one of their symptoms, which sucks. If someone has a nasty cough that gags them I go into a panic. If I hear someone get sick I instantly start crying, sweating, shaking, and my mind gets fuzzy with panic.

    I really hate it. I always thought I had arachnophobia, but I just really really don’t like spiders. I don’t get the mind numbing panic that, to me, would classify it as a phobia.

    And yeah, because of the phobia, I haven’t gotten sick like that since I was 8, and I was born in the 80s. Plenty of fearful times, but cold water and pepto helped me through.

    I gotta go dissociate on some meme posts for a bit now.



  • I have an msi GE75 raider laptop. I have a powerful desktop, but I use my laptop when I travel away from home; roughly 3 months out of the year I’m using my laptop for gaming. It gets the job done for me, I’m able to play world of warcraft at a fairly high level without issue and it’s been running acts 1 and 2 of Baldur’s Gate decently. However, I wouldn’t recommend it. I wish I could go back and get the Lenovo Legion I was looking at. I have no experience with a Legion, but everything I’ve read since purchasing the msi has made me regret it.

    My msi has a TON of bloatware on it that I can’t get rid of and it all slows the laptop down significantly on startup. It also likes to turn automatic updates for said bloatware back on, as well as make them run on startup if I’ve been allowed to turn them off. The keyboard is also garbage.
