We like to be busy, not exploited and not waste our lives doing meaningless drivel.

192% better. Plenty of fun nods to the 89 movie. Poked fun a little bit without being mean. Which is a kindness the 89 movie didn't really deserve. Saying that as someone who was ten when it came out and while I have nostalgia, I knew then it was a big clusterfuck. This is a fun watch. If you have any memories of the original cartoons, you'll find some enjoyable visuals and easter eggs and jokes.

I enjoyed it. And he only talked about his dick once. Muscles I think twice. But it was very funny when he went full twink masochist referencing his sword dangling between his meaty thighs.

You can use other people's machines if you need. The hoses and masks are consumables but they machine is static. Though, it wouldn't do you any good without the sleep study. You would need to know the pressure needed, the mask suited for you and most importantly, if you've got central apnea at all. You probably don't want to go through all of that if you don't need it.

Yeah, obstructive apnea is by far the most common and is also commonly due to weight. But central apnea is neurological. Your brain just isn't sending a signal to your body to breathe. The autonomic nervous system can be altered with anxiety or emotional trauma. Which seems like this might fall under. But no clear way to fix it as far as I'm aware, only treat it like in this case. You might find that some time with the bipap or CPAP devices will correct it for a bit, maybe even in daily life, but it will likely reoccur over time.

Sure. Just waste your resources on an inferior siege weapon.

I would not rely on Murkowski or Tillis. It's true that it doesn't have clear support, let's not forget how easily Republicans fall in line and how many corporate Democrats are still in power only by the lack of elections in their seats so far. I'm timidly hopeful that this won't pass but let's not forget which timeline we're living in.

You need a full sleep study to determine. An overnight at a sleep center. They are literally quiet facilities with few people about. I recommend talking to your primary care physician (if you're in the US) to tell them what you're doing with breathing and mention a concern of central apnea. They can request the sleep study to make sure your insurance covers it. And yes, a bipap machine would be necessary to correct it. Which might sound awful but your doctor would likely give you a small talk about the strain this can put on your heart. I hold my breath when there's any kind of stress in dreams because I've forced myself to wake up from naps and realized I wasn't breathing. To some degree, a bipap machine will retrain your brain as well. Maybe to a degree where it fixes things in the rest of your day for long periods. The new nose and/or mouth pieces are also much smaller and less intrusive than they used to be.

You sound fairly young and are likely to ignore medical stuff but please don't. At least talk to your doc about it (or find a doc if you don't have one. Again, assuming you're in the US, make an appointment at a hospital satellite office not a doc in the box). This is a psychological issue that is largely fixed by physical medicine.

While you're on a screen, there are a bunch of apps and browser plugins that have a breathing reminder you set at your internal. Might not fix everything but could help a little.

I've done that off and on for most of my life. Have you ever tried meditation? It takes some effort and some practice but you can get to the point where you can examine your brain's thoughts just as they form (you can't stop your brain from doing the thinking things, but you can observe). There have been times when that has allowed me to realize things were bothering me that I wasn't aware of and to make sense of them. I learned I have a history of fairly extreme avoidant behavior. I will do almost anything to prevent feeling difficult feelings. Didn't realize I was doing it for most of my life. The side effect of doing that sometimes is random anxiety and panic attacks. To unpack that stuff you might find a therapist who is skilled in attachment styles and maybe EMDR as well.

It's anxiety and yes, I've done it all my life. I don't have much real advice except that you can train yourself to do body check-ins frequently. You can learn to recognize situations where it will be the most severe. Listen a little less intently and breathe and be chill. Remind yourself that if anything surprising happens, you can easily handle it. You don't need to grip the wheel so tightly.

Not to mention the bot farm he paid for.
