I heard Jack O’Neill and Teal’c in my head on this one.

J: Well, tell him unless he cools it, I’m going to throw down!

T: Have you eaten something that does not agree with you, O’Neill?

J: What?

T: Is your digestive system experiencing discomfort?

Daniel Jackson: Yeeeah, this is probably my fault, I explained the euphemism “throwing up” to Teal’c last night after Sam’s bout in the infirmary and I’m guessing he thinks the reverse means

J: No!

J: I’m perfectly… Continent.

I apparently DO get sleep paralysis, I just didn’t know it because I only sleep on my sides and it doesn’t affect you the same way if you’re not on your back. Somehow the part of your brain that immobilizes sleeping you to keep you from actually physically acting out every motion you make while dreaming doesn’t deem your core paralyze-worthy if you’re on one side. Just your arms/legs.

I have occasionally gotten it if I’ve accidentally ended up on my back, and it happens every time I DO end up on my back, but I never connected the dots.

Weirdly enough, it’s never been scary for me, even when it extended to my face and I couldn’t open my eyes, but I’ve also been lucid dreaming since, like, first grade.

There’s an australian show from a decade or two ago called “Satisfaction” set around a legal brothel that I’m pretty sure tackled this sort of thing (ans a whole host of others) at least once.

As someone raised in a wildly conservative household I found it very eye-opening in my 20’s\30’s. It put what would probably been considered a very human slant on the whole sex worker industry at the time. Not sure how it holds up nowadays, though.

Except for the #reddit-sysadmin IRC channel. Gibby’s always shilling his “fart in a jar” NFT.

They forced cloud on us so they could do the same nickel-and-dime billing that webhosts used for cpu cycles/ram/storage…

…because it’s lucrative as hell when taken to a grand scale.

But there are sometimes side benefits for us.

I, for one, am over the moon levels of happy that I will never spend another weekend patching Exchange servers.

Is THAT what they’re associating it with? 9/11?

I seriously thought it was a reference to the eternal september of the internet, or potentially the school year.

That makes even less sense than the stuff I thought it was about, and I was fucking REACHING.
