So I wouldn't stress about your spelling in this context
My understanding is that with SSRIs it's not the drug itself that helps but rather the repercussions of developing a "tolerance" to the drug.
Trying to remember what a neuroscience friend of mine said; your brain, like your body, tries to reach some sort of homeostasis. Inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin results in there being more serotonin in the brain, resulting in your brain changing somehow to handle this serotonin.
These changes take time to develop, thus the delay on the impact of ssris.
Generally, consistent use of any drug will cause these longer term changes in the brain. Since your body is trying to find homeostasis, these changes reduce the impact of the acute effect of the drug, thus the experience of tolerance. The experience of withdrawal is a side effect of having these changes without the acute effect of the drug.
Is the overload of presynaptic serotonin receptors that ends up causes endocytosis of those very receptors. The purpose of these receptors is to help regulate vesicular release of serotonin into the synapse by shutting down release when too much is detected. Less of those receptors means more serotonin in the synapse after long periods of treatment. The current overall theory (iirc) is that this helps to drive BDNF upregulation which is a neuronal growth factor that helps to drive more dendrite and bouton formation leading to new and more robust network connections
RLCD, so the screen itself is transparent? If it were rendering an image, and a spotlight shown through it, would it project the image effectively?
I've had some silly little art projects that I'd love to try this screen for, if you have any spares/prototypes or anything you wouldn't mind selling or sharing!
> "If it were rendering an image, and a spotlight shown through it, would it project the image effectively?"
No, because shining a spotlight through it wouldn't result in an in-focus image. Draw something on some transparent plastic wrap and shine a light through it and observe what occurs.
Would working on it bring you joy? Because the world could certainly use more of that :D
I personally lean on people to help stay motivated. For your example, I would find a game dev meet up or some discord community, talk shop & share what I'm working on on a regular basis. Validate or give feedback on the work of others, and get some of my own.
It's a process of constantly pushing back the thoughts and community makes it easier
There obviously are levels to being intimate. You can be more intimate with someone than with someone else. It also varies with time.
A better way to look at those categories is that they are dominant archetypes (like eigenvectors) that are variably fractionally fulfilled by each relationship. The archetypes are "real" in the sense that they accurately describe/compress reality, much like many datasets can be quite accurately compressed down to some major eigenvectors.
The description still does not really fit what I have in mind.
And backstage intimate is horrible term too. My friends are not intimate nor backstage. Intimate is something else entirely, it does not fit the relationship at all. I talk more openly with them, but I am not intimate in emotional sense with them at all.
The backstage part have similar issues. In what sense are they backstage?
It's wild how much useful information flows through the HN Zeitgeist! I singlehandedly attribute my career success/position to keeping up with it all
