Hearing voices, or other meaningful sounds like music, with no external source is a common human experience. For the most part it is not associated with mental illness. but with sleep, fever, grief, etc.
Tinnitus is hearing non-meaningful noise with no external source, such as ringing, buzzing, crunching, etc.
I have a whole cacophony of tinnitus noises, some loud enough to hear over factory floor legal noise limits. It doesn't bother me as long as it's constant, but I can see my noises (synesthesia) which probably helps.
I am bothered by a intermittant tinnutus noises, or a sudden increase in volume due to wearing my hearing aid, or being in a noisy setting.
I like it when I hear meaningful noises, but that's always been sounds from my memory like a 1960's phone waking me up, or loved ones calling my name.
I don't see the stigma in tinnitus, although I agree, most people probably don't like to admit to hearing meaningful noises with no external source because of it's over-association with mental illness.
The stigma has in part been propagated by the idea of violent offenders fueled by auditory hallucinations. It's rare for this to happen, so the fear created by fictional and news entertainment is disproportionate.
My flat hasn't gone below 9C despite snow on the ground for a week. I have a wee fan heater in case it gets really cold, but haven't needed it yet.
It's currently 12C outside, 15C inside which is perfect.
We are currently at a time of climate crisis where we are close to ecological tipping points of no return, but we still have a slither of hope of clawing back before it's too late.
We should all be aiming to reduce our CO2 emissions by 50% 2020-2030 to keep the planet habitable for future generations.
It will be the legacy of our generation, one way, or another.
Breaking Boundaries: The Science of Our Planet, a documentary featuring David Attenborough and Johan Rockström is available Netflix. It should be available everywhere.
I'm completely musically ignorant and have considerably less hearing than the last time I listened. Am I right in thinking that they're kinda inbetween the trippy hippy sort of stuff and punk?
The range of pay is Assistant in Nursing at 30K to Chief Nursing Officer at 90K with 13 other nursing positions inbetween.
An average of 36K implies a most nurses earn at the bottom end of the scale which after tax and NI is less than 24K a year, or less than 2K a month before paying into their pension and travel, or any childcare required.
It's difficult to meet shift requirements using public transport and not always safe, so most nurses will likely need to run a car. Introducing charges for car parking (where profits will feed back into the Health Trust which pays them) is essentially a pay reduction by stealth.
We put our lives in their hands and we're barely out of a pandemic where they put their lives at risk, some of them dying, some of them living separately from their own children in fear for their lives. Many of them will be dealing with PTSD.
Yeah, I can't imagine why they're pissy about the car parking fees.
Woke (/'wo?k/ WOHK) is an adjective originating in African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". From Wiki
The reappropriation of an AAVE civil rights expression to a pejorative by right wing, white culture is a direct and blatant act of racial discrimination, intellectual property theft and continuing attempted oppression.
The international laws and shared responsibility covers and includes Bulgaria since her admittance to the UN in 1955, doesn't it?
And once again: asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants according to the law. How many times do you have to told before it sinks in?
Hotels used for asylum seekers, or otherwise homeless people still require staff and some services by law.
These hotels and their owners/employees aren't destroyed by the stable revenue generated from these client groups.
Which interview was that?
Why do you think countries like the UK and Bulgaria are members of the United Nations and abide by international laws? That's an especially clever and mature comment.
The video you cited isn't about illegal immigrants, it's about asylum seekers.
It's legal to enter the UK via an illegal route if you notify the authorities of your presence and have a valid reason for seeking asylum.
The video uses a lot of misleading untruths and psychlogical techniques to fool those who are too ignorant to spot them. It's created to fuel the outrage, offense and discrimination that you're exhibiting.
It seems people make assumptions whether someone has a photo, an out of date photo (like myself), or no photo.
Having some kind of picture makes it easier for visual people (like myself) to navigate their way around blogs/forums/mail, etc.
I'm not bothered about what that picture is.
Your main profile pic, Tulefell, doesn't match the site requirement of a clear face shot, or no photo at all, but when I see that red canoe I know it's you straight away. I really hope the site owners don't have a purge (as they sometimes do) and remove your illegitimate photo, whatever your reason for having it.
Breakfast...consists of such satisfying meals as oat or rice porridge, rye bread with herb cheese and salt-cured salmon, eggs, traditional pastries and pies with fruit jam, and yogurt with freshly picked berries.
