Ugh⊠did I mention my body hates sutures?
The area around them started getting red and slightly warm two days ago, so yesterday, I decided to take them out by myself.
But other than that, it looks and feels fine - almost no pain at all, no swelling except from where the stitches were, and I can feel the implant underneath the skin
Oh, and fun fact - I can lie around somewhere for three or more hours, being cut with a scalpel, no problem, but removing sutures myself makes me feel dizzy and nauseous
An interesting answer to conspiracy theories and religion coming from someone in a different scientific field (also a pretty good channel if astronomy is your thing):
the answer exists - check out âflight from death: the quest for immortalityâ documentary made by a good friend of mine. In short, science is threatening their eternal souls by shaking belief in the system of religion⊠thatâs why itâs so terrifying for them and they go on the attack to defend their immortality.
At a deep level, I think your body knows youâre taking a risk and is setting off alarms accordingly. When I worked in plasma I would often donate as well. Any time I got stuck by anyone, didnât matter if it hurt, they had to adjust the needle, etc. never flinched just isnât something that bothers me, but the first time I was allowed to do my own venipuncture my vision went blurry for a second, I could feel my heart in my chest, and just felt sick for a few seconds. It quickly passed, and I was fine and able to donate without any issue, but still my body seemed to have a knee jerk reaction to me performing the procedure on myself vs the 100s of times I had been stabbed with a 17g needle before without issue.
And my body isnât used to it - I think thatâs important as well, because I have damaged my body by myself for quite some time without having these effect. But bruises, cuts, whatever happen during ânormal lifeâ as well, so my body knew there was a kind of damage, but also knew how to deal with it maybe?
Pulling sutures was completely new for me until 1.5 years ago, so maybe it takes another 10-20 implants until my body is okay with it
Playing around with Midjourney a bit, because I had the idea of creating some pictures to base my next tattoo on - simply because I canât draw at all, and itâs hard to give the tattoo artist an idea of what I think of
So itâs not like âthis is gonna be my tattooâ but rather âokay, thatâs the general feeling Iâm looking forââŠ
Buuuut - Iâm too stupid for that program. Iâm looking for a picture of Râlyeh, gloomy, giant underwater city, strange architecture, you get the vibes. Thatâs what I get (and itâs pretty good!)
Iâm almost happy with it, but I want the city to be spread out to the sides, not a vertical âtowerâ in the middle - how can I convince the AI to do that? For the above picture, I already used things like âhorizontally spread out cityâ and all that, but except for a few added buildings to the sides, it didnât really do what I wantedâŠ
Has anyone used a prototyping company? I have some ideas for some tower climbing gear but donât have the tools to build them. Iâve seen some companies advertising prototyping and finding manufacturers to build the product, but this is all new to me, and their sites seem a little vague. I can get the material, but donât have access to molding equipment or sewing machines or cnc machines. Also donât have the time to hit up a maker space with these 60+ hour work weeks.
