as one grows older, the things that used to scare us stop affecting us, and often become silly
but the things we once took for granted, become the most genuine horrors we could possibly imagine!

Frostpunk: "How would your morality fare if things were really really REALLY dire? Put into absolute power over a people who trust you completely as they see the apocalypse all around them, what would you do?"
Frostpunk DLCs: "Yeah, and here's a bunch more questions on this theme"
Then suddenly...
Frospunk The Last Autumn DLC: "What if things weren't dire, actually? Not yet. People think they know things being bad. They don't know. You played the other scenarios so you do, but they don't. Your power is high but not completely absolute, a company appointed boss rather than a dictator, people have Demands which may look reasonable to them in their actually quite downtrodden lot but which look like the height of absurd excess through the lens of the post-apocalypse, and there's all this ridiculous still existing old world classist bullshit going on since the frost hasn't scoured it all out yet. Well, you're in charge of preparing a site for the refugees of the apocalypse without which they'll all die. Things keep escalating, the coming of the frost keeps barelling down on you, and you keep learning about how the other efforts all around you have failed. You have to complete this project on time. How will your morality fare then?"
The answer to the need for evil is, of course, "skill issue" either way. But it's still a pretty cool game (heyoooo).

God is dead, and everything is permitted.But seriously, it's just cleaning. It's a purely physical action with a specific start point, and a specific endpoint. It has no moral dimension. It only has a "figure out and actually codify your personal criteria for those points" dimension. Do that and you'll be fine.

No.1177935
>>1177934>Like, for yourself alone, you could live in the filth all you likeTrue! The problem is if you don't feel like living in filth but do anyway. But even then that's not a "bad person" / "good person" sort of thing.
>It does when others come around, I suppose.It really doesn't. What others think is purely mechanical, like the Sims. You know what they respond positively to, negatively to, and what they don't care about, adding up to Social Interaction Score ++ or --. It's got as much of a moral dimension as the choice of snacks you would serve them when they pop up. Morality is about a transcendental "good" or "evil", and this is just not that. If you feel like you'd be a better host to your guests if you cleaned and you care about that, clean. If you don't have anyone coming over and personally don't give a crap, don't. A dirty room is as much of a mark of your individuality as a clean one. The real point to focus on is deliberateness, not conforming to expectations for the sake of them. Even if you deliberately choose to conform to those expectations because you like your guests and your guests like clean rooms.

I have a Halloween related question.
Blood Banks recieved 4,300 blood donations every day on average.
They store donated blood for up to 42 days.
The average discard rate of whole blood in the present study was 1.07%, which was much less compared to Kulkarni et al. [8] (23.23%), and lesser than the studies conducted by Suresh et al. [9] (5.7%) and Bobde et al. [10] (6.63%)
(All my stats from Google)
So my question is, could a vampire live off blood donated from a Blood Bank without causing any severe shortage in human need for blood or bringing any awareness to the vampire themselves?

>>1178004I remember that's the plot of a Kiekeboe comic.
How much blood does a vampire need to survive?
No.1178006
>>1178005Well, I find vampire lore different and inconsistant, depending on whose telling the story.
For example, I regard vampires as "undead". As in they're technically a zombie, but drinking blood and maybe other factors allow a rejuvination to appear more recently deceased.
But in, say, Hotel Transylvania, vampires seem to be living beings and not too different from humans. It's never confirmed if vampires can turn humans into vampires but Mavis is a born vampire and so is Dennis.
So it varies I guess.
If I were to guess a logical accuracy, an actual vampire bat needs to consume 20grams (two tablespoons of blood) per night.
So if we multiply the body/mass of the bat to that of a human and calculate the blood intake along with it, I'd say that's roughly the answer.
(Kind of like how Spider-man has the human strength proportioned to a spider. Spider-man's strength is on the average to a human that it would be for a spider... something like that.)
Given I don't know bat-to-human ratio maths, I'll go ahead and say 3-5 pints of blood. Adult humans on average have 10 pints of blood. I imagine vampires would drain a victim entirely of their blood to prevent witnesses.
Purely guess-work given these are mythological beings.
No.1178007
>>1178005Also, there has been some accounts of vampires, though whenever these were accounts of paranoia due to hysteria at the time is uncertain.
But I do believe vampires
could be real. The reasons why stories of ghosts and aliens have persisted throughout history to todays time is because of fresh accounts and evidence backing it up. While vampires don't have as much accounts or evidence, it still a mythology that persist to todays time.

>>1178008At one point in history, they were real, though not the sort you're thinking of.
From what I've read, zombies were from Haitian folklore, most common with vodou. It's when a victim is drugged with a drought that consist of various poison ingrediants and leave the victim in a stupor yet compliant state that the poisoner can manipulate into servitude.
As for the kind of zombies made traditional by George A. Romero, well there is a fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, more commonly known as "zombie-ant fungus". This fungus. The video game "The Last Of Us" depict zombies inspired by this fungus.
Plus, I read somewhere (or was it a YouTube video? May want to look it up yourself given it was ages a go and can't remember the video), that todays scientist can indeed make a zombie virus if they wanted to, but choose not to because of the impracticality of it.
Which is kinda true. Zombie movies may make zombies appear as a threat, but if they really are just mindless corpses then they'll likely just trip over stuff like idiots on a bender and their flesh will decay to bone in about a week or two, give or take maggots and dogs and such.
And given the zombies pass infection through biting, it would be more easy to contain a zombie pandemic than it would covid.

>>1178013Real talk though, while voodoo / cordiceps ae pretty far fetched on the scale of reality, rabies actually is a real thing.
Personally, I feel like if zombie outbreaks or vampires were real, we'd probably be dead already. Those creatures are far more powerful than any human being.
So, nah.
However, I haven't found many professional scientists that deny the existence of skeletons. Those are definitely real.
No.1178018
>>1178015==Vampires==
I believe if vampires are real, they would be a secret society and choose victims that will not be missed or, as my starting question, maybe rely on alternate sources like blood banks to keep a low profile. Even if the percentage of underground (figuratively) vampires could rival living humans, humans would be quick to kill them off.
People think vampires are killers, but in truth, humans are too good at killing that we need hunting licences to prevent us from over-killing things. If human government made vampire hunting open and legal, even if vampires had enhanced strength or powers, they would still be under constant threat of humans.
==Zombies==
As I said, if there was a "zombie virus", such a pandemic would be short-lived for a number of reasons.
1. Unlike COVID which could pass in breathing vicinity of people, zombies appear limited by physically biting into others. If the zombie virus can go airborn like COVID then it can be an issue, but if it stays infectious via biting then just don't get bitten.
2. If they ar eliterally animated corpses, then they will decay like corpses. It takes roughly ten days for flesh to decay to the bone.
Maybe zombies are able to slow the process or heal/regenerate flesh by consuming the flesh of the living, but if there is no food source then it will just have a week or two until loss of motor skills.
3. How "mindless" are they? Will they be able to comprehend stairs, door handles or kerbs? To be able to walk or even run is one thing, but if they keep tripping up on things not only will it slow them down but cause further damage to them.
4. Other environemntal factors such as flies laying eggs into them, weather such as hot, cold or rain hasteing the decay, etc.
5. Come to think of it, "flesh eating" zombies make no sense. If a human is surrounded by zombies and most of their flesh and muscles is ripped from them and consumed, how would they be able to move with removed or severed ligiments? Even if zombies could, hypothetically, regenerate by consuming others flesh, newly animated zombies would not be able to sustain themselves if they're robbed of most of their functions to begin with.
The only way I can see a zombie virus being used efficiently as a pandemic would be as a bioweapon. Bombs with zombie gas let off in public places during peak hours. This would cause some great panic as you'd expect from the movies, but, again, humans are "too good at killing". Once they realise the zombies are just mindless zombies it won't take long for the zombies to be purged by active survivors while the passive survivors will simply wait it out. they would be more concern if the virus is an airborn contagent and the media will probably spin this, but once they realise it's not things will quickly get back to normal.

>>1178047We'll get there, heh. For now... the bootstrap base is done and I'm working my way to oil processing. I'm a bit worried since I seem to have spawned somewhere without a fresh source of coal in sight, other than the guaranteed noobpatch, but that's a concern for a few hundred thousand units of it down the line. For now, oil. With oil, explosives. With explosives, the ability to flatten terrain.
Oil processing in Factorio is both simple and surprisingly complex. The bitchbasic way to do it is just "oil goes in, petroleum goes out", and then you turn that petroleum into plastic or sulphur or whatever. That's very inefficient though. You have to use that recipe for a while though since unlocking the Real recipe requires you to have plastic in the first place. That one is different. Rather than making petroleum, you make petroleum but also light oil and heavy oil. It's possible to further process the heavy oil into light oil and light oil into petroleum and petroleum is mostly what you want, but there's also stuff you can only make from the other two so you don't want to just reflexively process it all. I never quite designed a perfect way to handle this. What I figured out Works™, but with each new refinery setup I always tweak it somewhat.

>>1178195I'm taking the oil... and then turning it into different oils! Also down the line I will use the oil to power the steam boiling part of the process for turning coal into ever more oils.
But yeah I kind of didn't do much so far. The oil products once you get out of the oil processing and reprocessing are lubricants, plastics and sulphur, so I made all that. They're useful in making more of other stuff down the line mostly. There's also solid fuel and rocket fuel, but that's another thing that will only matter down the line.

>>1178198Sounds like you have it all planned out.
No.1178218
>>1178214Not my first run, heh. I always keep tweaking my designs though. Anyway, right now the priority though is to switch over as much of the factory to solar power as possible. You'd think the reason to do it is to save on coal (which, admittedly, I'm running low-ish on and expanding to a new patch would require me to do some Military Considerations). It kind of is, but pollution is an issue all throughout the game and as you can imagine making power through burning coal isn't great for that. The way pollution works in Factorio is, other than cosmetic effects (green water wooo), is the planet is home to very aggressive animal species that have spawner bases all over the place and can even settle empty areas by creating more of those bases. They interact with pollution two-fold. One, if the pollution cloud hangs above a spawner, it absorbs that pollution, and every point absorbed goes towards creating an attack force that will go wreck your shit up once it gets big enough. This as you can imagine is something of a problem especially if you don't have a fully sealed perimeter and the aliens settle inside the heavily polluted area (rather than having some occasional bits from the edge reach them, which is also a problem but much less so).
"Just kill all the spawners around and seal the perimeter far away from the heart of the factory 4Head" - yeah so there's a second problem. The aliens have something called an evolution factor, calculated from a global total of evolution points which can only ever go up. It buffs them, and when it gets high it's to a very serious extent. The two main ways it goes up is by killing the spawners, which is worth many points each, but also from the total of pollution produced. And here we're back to solar. Any energy produced by it is energy that will not contribute to the attacks getting worse and worse during the game. Good investment, I'd say. ...does take up a LOT of land though. And the panels and accumulators aren't cheap.
No.1178234
>>1178229I mean, they're all hostile, numerous, and WILL wreck your factory if they get at it if you trigger attacks (because of pollution mostly). In that capacity they're a constant threat and a resource drain since the attacks need to be fought off, which can be done automatically by turrets you can build but those turrets need to be fed ammo, which needs to be made somewhere and delivered to them in the first place. Even laser turrets, in a way, since they have a surprisingly nasty passive power upkeep and incredibly high power requirements when actually shooting, and that power needs to be generated somehow. And obviously destroyed turrets need replacement, while damaged ones repair. This too can be automated, but it is a drain.
Outside of the context of attacks they're passive and mostly just blockers put there to make sure you don't just expand like crazy - and the further you get from your start location, the bigger the nests. A big nest is nothing a few nukes won't fix, but boy that's some evo points generated in just a few clicks and anyway you won't have access to nukes anytime soon when starting the game.
The AI isn't super sophisticated but yeah these aliens are a threat. This isn't Satisfactory where the fauna is technically mostly hostile but just there to provide safari targets and spook arachnophobes.

>>1178336i already typed it out, so i'm just gonna copy paste it :P
so i get off of work, and i get onto the highway to start driving home; i get to a stretch of highway that is 4 lanes; 2 in one direction; 2 in the other; and in the middle of it is a median lane to turn into other areas.
i'm currently in the right lane, going a comfortable speed with the person in front of me like a good 100 feet in front of me, so i'm just vibing and driving normal.
the person in front of me starts slowing down a bit for some reason, and i'm thinkin "are you turning or what?" but they don't throw the blinker on, so i can't make out their move.
so i start to do the sensible thing; throw on my blinker to turn into the right lane to pass this person.
I then start to move into the other lane when I notice in a fraction of a second, a fucking car driving the OPPOSITE way in the left lane!
I IMMEDIATELY turn back into the lane, just in time for this fucker to pass me, and i just look back wondering "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"
If i was literally a second off, i would have collided head on with that person at 60 miles per hour, plus whatever the fuck speed they were going!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING HELL WERE YOU DOING?!?!
YOU HAVE 2 LANES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD TO DRIVE ON!

Because Soon™ I will go to another planet to work its gimmick into creating a brand new kind of science pack.
Which means that the factory on the original planet needs to be able to handle itself in the meanwhile with no input from anyone at all. Meaning I have to get all my ducks in a row first. It's not that it may simply stop working, it's that the biter alien threat keeps on ramping up and they WILL wreck it if I don't prepare it. Current objective: expand the solar farms to support the infrastructure for robots to reach all the chokepoints, then build that infrastructure. The robots can repair, replace or even straight up build brand new turrets as ordered remotely, which is important as I'm sticking to laser because of easy logistics, but they are basically guaranteed to get damaged and would get worn down over time.

>>1178388It was a space platform with engines but boy DID IT.
See, the game has you design a space platform with asteroid grabbers, and then build up some industry on that platform using those asteroid chunks. It's already a bit challenging like that since there's some constraints you wouldn't face with an on the ground factory, but one thing in particular popped up - the game tells you to build gun turrets to shoot asteroids to get extra resources. "Okay, well, I don't need EXTRA resources, I'll just muddle through like this and limp to the next planet with this Minimum Viable Platform (pictured) that only makes some fuel". Turns out, while small asteroids hitting your platform only makes for the resources they represent going POOF, large asteroids will not just "not give you extra resources" if you don't shoot them down before they hit your transiting platform. Oh no, they will absolutely wreck your shit instead. Oops.

Minimum Viable Platform Mark 3 (minus one pipe segment which I added after taking the screenshot). This one was... a qualified success! It does NOT have the staying power to actually stay in orbit of the planet I want to fly to, but hopefully if I can fill up both fuel tanks I can have it get there, drop me (and the resources) off, and fly back to a safe region in one piece.

Sorta.
I'm now stranded on the new planet. No resources on it, except for massive piles of scrap of a civilization that used to be here before which can be mined and can be (inefficiently) recycled into other things, shallow oceans of heavy oil that prevent construction but can be pumped and reprocessed, and an endless electrical storm that will wreck anything not under a lightning rod. Luckily at least that last bit is a resource too, the lightning strikes can be captured for power (it's a momentary spike of power production, which is good enough if you have accumulators), and nothing lives here so no worry about any natives eating whatever I build. Still, current objectives:
- make a spaceport out of the local garbage capable of building rockets, enabling me to leave if I so choose
- process the garbage into stuff unique to the planet, there's a resource in it that's not available anywhere else

>>1178464Must be a US thing, since I never heard of non-alcoholic sangria. I just had a look at wikipedia because this surprised me so much, and the EU regulations mandate that for a drink to be allowed to be labeled as "sangria" it needs at least a 4.5% alcohol content. There's "Ponche de Sangria" though which is non-alcoholic and basically a mix of fruit juices that mimics the look of sangria. I guess in the US they drop the "Ponche de" bit sometimes and just sell it as "sangria"? Wild.

>>1178595Still trying to make work the basics on this new planet. The gimmick is that there's no mineable resources, and instead you have to process fruit for everyting. On the plus side, the fruit will never run out, since you can just replant the plants over and over. On the minus side, the biological stuff spoils, some things very fast, and the spoilage carries over into the products down the line. All this makes the logistical complexity explode.
For example, a normal design in Factorio:
--------------->
\/ \/ \/ \/ \/
<---------------Make a belt, drop ingredients on a belt, saturate the belt, have a machine process them by taking them off the top belt and putting them on the bottom belt, ezpz. If the output is unnecessary because it's not getting used up enough down the line, the machines will be unable to put anything on the output belt and just wait with the product at the ready until what they made is needed (which they'll know since a spot on the belt will have opened up). If you overproduce the inputs (which you usually should), they'll just wait unused at the input belt too.
Now consider what happens if the inputs, the products inside the machine, and the outputs are all on a timer (possibly a quite short one) before they turn into mostly useless compost which won't disappear but will instead still sit right where it spoiled.
Add to that other complications and things get pretty nasty pretty quick. My design for a new segment of this factory which would process the fruit into iron and copper (don't question it) has run into Issues.

>>1178597There's solutions to sidestep a lot of spaghetti here but they require power (which conveyor belts in Factorio don't, magical devices that they are), getting which isn't entirely straightforward at the start. I had an idea to get some basics going without that to have a fallback, but noooooooooooope it gets way too crazy, so I'll redesign things so that even most of the basics make use of those powered methods. I have a working fruit power plant already after all.
Yeah the fruit on this planet is truly magical. If processed enough it makes everything from steel to rocket fuel. ...also cultivating it brings the wrath of the behemoth aggressive alien life onto your head if they smell you doing it, but thems the breaks.

>>1178645>>1178646More specifically, one of mechanics on this marshy spore jungle deathworld is that thing spoil, which I already mentioned earlier, but they don't actually ALL spoil into compost. There's a few exceptions. Copper and iron bacterial clumps spoil into copper and iron ore that you can feed into your industry, so you obviously want that to happen after you're done with them. But one of the Important Ingredients is the eggs of the local hyperaggressive alien fauna. Those spoil in ~15 minutes, and by "spoil" the game means "hatch". Yet, to truly establish yourself on the planet, you gotta get a production line of those going too.
Producing eggs is relatively simple. Put an egg into a biolab with nutrients and voila, 3 eggs on the other side. If the egg you inserted was almost "spoiled", no biggie - the freshness of the end result of any process where freshness matters is more or less the average between all the items that went into it. Here it's 31 items of various nutrients and 1 egg, so if the nutrients were fresh they will overwhelm that almost spoiled egg and the output will be fresh too. This means that so long as you keep on producing more you'll have fresh eggs indefinitely, no matter their short timer. "But you have 2 eggs more every cycle, surely you'll just run out of the capacity to keep doing this to all the eggs you have pretty quick" - ah, that's not a problem either. Once the 3 eggs land back in the box they were taken from, into the incinerator 2 of them go, if the box is filled over a critical amount. Ezpz. Only failed once when I was spinning this up, and that didn't even do that much damage (though it did make me put some laser turret around the boxes, just in case). This IS dangerous for sure, but so far it's managed.
You might notice another obvious problem though. Once you start this alien egg churner you have to make sure it keeps going, no ifs or buts. Well, to make sure of that I expanded my Red Fruit Orchard. Way innocuous compared to the previous bit, right?
...automatic orchards generate spores, and the increased production of spores pissed off the local aggressive megafauna and brought it down on my head. Ooops!

>>1178689I already started doing things about the aliens. Things like "abusing game mechanics" mostly, but still!
I'm looking at leaving the planet soon though and my current solution while workable for now is pretty clowny. So, before I do, I will fortify the place to an absurd extent. It needs to be able to survive unmanaged. The megafauna is the big (npi) problem, as it's extremely resistant to lasers and bullets... but not explosions. To make explosives you need coal which you can't mine here, but luckily you can bioreactor-magic the spoiled compost into charcoal, and that into coal. So yeah, before I leave, the plan is rocket turrets and minefields EVERYWHERE. I just need to build the industry to feed all those into the system, to replace the destroyed turrets, spent rockets, exploded mines etc.

40 year old's parentship woes.
I was kept awake this weekend with that horrible anxiety of knowing there's a test and I forgot to study.
Except, my daughter has the test and I failed to motivate her to study. And I'm the one geting super stressed out over it.

When the defenses failed mid-way, the front of the platform itself tanked the asteroids the rest of the way. This can be repaired, and rebuilding it completely would have been a pain, especially since it seems this ice planet's gimmick is that to build anything I need to bring in materials from off-world. Without a functioning ship that would be tricky

No.1179073
>>1179072Dicking around, mostly. It's been a big DLC but I'm coming close-ish to the end. The ice planet tech unlocks new cannons which mean my platforms could potentially take on the trek to the edge of the system. Make the trek there and it's technically counted as a win. There IS a further objective though, which is a long way away from the edge of the system through a lot of huge asteroids, and I'm aiming for that.
The other big thing the ice planet unlocks is the ability to make things of tier 5 quality, so I'll probably be churning my industry through that to make that perfect platform for taking the long trek.

>>1179085well we were caught in a snowstorm that lasted like 4 days in a row. and the park was closed from thursday to yesterday
so today, they had us come in 2 hours earlier to shovel ALL the snow off of the paths and the rides. so i had to get up at 6am to get ready for work to do all this
i used an ice melt spreader to go up and down the hills; and in front of one of the rides, i slipped on the ice right onto my knees, and i knocked all the ice melt onto the ground. so we had to use shovels to try to spread it more evenly
then after that was done, we had to start work, and when a them park is close all weekend except for one day, everybody decides to come in on that one day. so the park was SLAMMED
so today was a trial, and i'm fucking exhausted.
the saving grace is that i don't go back till thursday, and then i'm on vacation to visit family
but damn.... i'm tired...

The Talos Principle. The gameplay is mostly just pretty chill puzzles and there's very few characters (you only properly interact with one, really - but you get logs and stuff of many more), but the exploration of the setting and the ideas and how it all just clicks together is just so, so good and well executed. The whole package is quite unique, too, making it worth a try for everyone since it can't really be recommended based on "you liked X therefore you will probably like Y".

Had a bad day. I hope it doesn't continue to tomorrow, given I have reservations at a restaurant.
Last night, I went to bed around 3am,but kept tossing and turning. I gave up around 7-8am and figure I'd try to stay up.
But I had the squirts and was worried it was a sign of poor health.
Some yucky TMI in case anyone wants to know:
Despite having to go to the toilet every twenty minutes to piss out my ass, it still felt there was some mass that refuse to leave, with only a few pieces leaving. So it's kind of lucky I didn't spend the whole day with liquid diarrhoea, but now I am a bit constipated because it refused to budge.
However, right now, I feel fine. My costiveness is not as terrible as the day before last Christmas Eve, which felt like I was carrying a lump of coal in my stocking.
I also had a mug of cocoa fixed with some fibre powder to help my digestion.
>Checks some stuff.
Oh! The town's Christmas light ceremony was not today as I thought, but actually on Saturday! So I haven't missed it.
But I do have dinner reservations tommorow.

Fruit I can handle.It's not my stomach that's upset, it's my bowels.
(The reason why I've been sick earlier is because of worries in general. So if I overly "worry" I can't keep my food down, I likely won't.)

I'm feeling much better now. The fruit helped.
I still got costiveness, but the runs are gone for now.
If it gets like the last time I was bunged up, then I would be concerned, but for now no pain or the feel of a stone in my gut.
I'm still gonna sleep on my recliner tonight. I think all-in-all, I find my bed uncomfortable to sleep in.
I believe it's because, other than being more comfortable, when I had my old room, my bed was a high-riser which wasn't as glamorous as it sounds, having to climb a ladder to get in or out of bed, I only kept it to conserve space. But because heat rises and being it was summer, I just found it easier to just sleep in my recliner.
Now I've grown more accustomed to sleeping on the recliner than I do my bed.
Still, my current bed is lumpy, with a dip from a busted mattress spring. I should get a new mattress but it would be a hassle lugging it up two flights of stairs.

Feeling better today.
It "dislodged" last night. Still a bit of the "squirts" but that's expected when you had nothing but fruit and barely enough water yesterday.
I still just woke up half an hour a go, though, so it didn't fix my sleeping times.
EDIT: OK, I was sick, but I assure you, not related to by lower-digestion problems. I was worried over other things that triggered it. But I do feel much better now, and I now have peppermint water.

>>1179383Eeeeeh a bit better. I had a bit of a... I wouldn't say "relapse". While my body has recovered, it was still anxiety that was causing me problems.
I had about three hours sleep, but woke up fine.
I had cereal, but the concern of "eating stuff I want" causing me bowel problems still lingered in my mind which lead to me feeling a bit sick, which I stubbornly told myself "I had no reason to be sick, so let me eat my grapes!". Saturday is usually the day I get Chinese take-out, but I wasn't feeling up for it. While I've been gassy, I've spent the rest of the morning questioning if I was constipated or just built-up gas. It made me wish we humans had maintenance hatches or more convenient means to read and understand our bodies than just by gut-feelings alone.
I did pass some stool with minimal mess, which calmed me to know that my bowels seem to be returning to normal. It was still a bit of a struggle but likely because of minimal food the last few days.
Just before 4pm, I went to see the Christmas market with my mother as we head to the café. While she did warn me not to have a milkshake, at the same time I didn't feel like having a slice of cake and the barista recommended my usual milkshake anyway. As I drank it, it tasted milkier than usual.
As me and Mum left, I told her how I was feeling, but noticed I was feeling queezy and was worried it was my nerves triggering it again, I ended up sick in a street drain.
Afterwards, I was angry at myself given what my mind and body was going through the last few days, I was sick yesterday because of nerves and didn't want to be sick again the day after, as if some sort of "relapse".
I can't remember what my mother calls it, but I might be losing my tolerance to milk. Not "lactose intolerance", it had a fancy name to it that's genetically inheritant. While it may not be clear evident I have it, I was sick today because of milk when before I was not. What my body has been doing is wrapping enzymes in milk with mucus and storing it in my gut for disposal, and that this has been taking a toll on my body all this time. And now it might be giving up this function for it.
And then I started crying. Because like most people on the spectrum, we don't adapt to change very well, especially when it's our own biology. While it isn't the end of the world to give up milk, it's other factors that made me feel helpless in my own body. Such as the change of my appetite when I'm after being like how I was before all this, or unable to tell if I am constipated or ballooned, or able to calm my thoughts. It made me wish I could just put my brain in a robot and be done with it.
I know, it all sounds a pittance for a thirty-something year old man to cry like a child in the street over, which made it all the more embarrassing for me, I was glad it was just me, my mother and some cat that found us.Right now my mental state is "
I don't really give a fuck any more." I want to enjoy the foods I enjoyed before, but I will eat what I believe my body wants and will try to eat what I want and if it gives me blockage or squirts I just don't care any more. I want to live my life than worry over what I can or can't eat even if it'll cost me a few years off my life.

But other than yesterdays drama, all-in-all, I am feeling better. My anxiety is seeming to pass on and in a way, I do feel like my old self.
Yes, when I look at my "chocolate box" (chocolate bars, crisps, Terry's Chocolate Orange, cookies, McVities Digestives) as well as my fave cereal, I lament I may not "feel" to indulge as often as I want to... but that doesn't mean I won't snack ever again, just probably not as often for the time being.
I am recovering, if already recovered, and that's what matters. (I guess just giving up listening to my body kinda helped.)

Casein Allergy Symptoms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CaseinThat's the fancy word. It's not lactose intolerance, but it might be related.
Milk has a protein called "casein" and it's what makes milk "milk", so there's no "casein free milk" as far as I'm aware, unless it's plant based.
It's a genetic disorder, but it can be carried, so if two carriers have a child the child is likely to have it.
The symptoms are the body wraps the casein in mucus as it goes into the stomach. For a person with resilience, I guess the casein is passed through the body somehow because I've had milk-products for years with no problem.
But my concern is that my resistance to casein has passed its tipping point. I haven't had any milk yesterday to see how well I can still handle it.
If the milk is still fresh, I'll have some cereal later. Worst case scenario I'll get queezy, which I can take peppermint water for that. But if that's the case, then my resilience to milk has broke.
Even if I can't have whole milk, I can always switch to milk substitutes and I can still enjoy chocolate or cheesecakes and such.
