TopicWhere did the "black people die first in horror movie" trope come from

that movie does have a black character though that totally vanishes with no explanation. You can assume the monster got him or that he died in the big explosion or maybe is still alive, but there is no resolution in the film as to what happens to him.
It's not made explicit, but there's a pretty strong implication that it's the first one.

Topic24/7 heartburn and acid reflux is awful
Firewerx

If it just lasts for the duration of your pregnancy and isn't any longer term than that, it probably won't do any lasting damage. The reason I'm saying this is that as an ex-alcoholic who suffered from terrible acid reflux throughout the final year of drinking, I found out by accident afterwards (thanks to a gastroscopy for other reasons) that it had left me with Barrett's oesophagus, which is potentially pre-cancerous and I now need to be routinely monitored for the rest of my life.

Not trying to freak you out, just tipping you off that it might be wise to be checked out for long-term damage at some stage if this keeps up.

in school people will judge you by your popularity and academic achievements or athletic achievements.

excel that and then you will be judged by what college you get into.

ace that and you will be judged by your grades.

rock that and you will be judged by what job you get and how much money you earn.

by that point you will have become a successful, important and wealthy adult and you will stop being judged by others.

just kidding! Here is where it gets really stupid: you will then get judged on whether you have kids, as if using your built-in crotch capabilities were some sort of achievement. Women will get judged especially harshly if they dont pop one kid out before a certain age, and this is how you end seeing total failures in life judging successful female CEOs for not having kids at the high school reunion.

but if you happen to have at least one kid... you will be judged by your kids achievements (grades, popularity, athletics, etc), then you will get judged by whether your kid got into a good college, got a good job, etc. you will even get shit questions like when is your kid giving you a grandchild.

yes folks, you can be a failure at life (according to others) if a third person (your kid) is not successful or doesnt choose to reproduce.

the cycle never ends, break the cycle, stop living for others and dont seek their approval, live for yourself.
I feel this is a mighty fine post.

Might be panic attack.
My first thought. I suffered from severe panic attacks during two periods of my life, about five years apart. Managed to struggle through the first period on my own, but the second wave was much worse. I had some serious concerns for my mental health, it felt as if my entire personality was disintegrating and I gradually became less and less functional.

In the end I bit the bullet and sought help. Took several months of CBT with a clinical psychologist who taught me three hugely important things: (1) it wasn't going to kill me, (2), I wasn't going insane, and (3) the way to break the power that the attacks have over you is to focus on symptom management. You can dig deeper for underlying causes later if you like, but it's important to break out of that self-reinforcing cycle where your symptoms terrify you and your fear of the next attack actually triggers it.
