Did the same to me. Refused to give it, luckily I only used it for YouTube, lost the 100 odd channels I subscribed to and my playlists and that was about it. Use an RSS reader now to track my favourite channels
Agreed, I have pretty bad social anxiety with hypervigilance. Taking on average 3 5mg (occasionally a 10mg dose) tablets a week when needed for presentations or meetings with more weight allows me to keep my job.
Even such a small dose I feel restores a sense of normality that I haven't experienced in over 10 years without them, I'm able to rationalise what I want to say, conversation flows, I feel in control. With all that said, I've been doing this for a while and have never come close to addiction and no noticeable side effects. I continue to work on the underlying causes but without them I would be much worse off.
For performance anxiety, try asking a doctor for propranolol.
Propranolol blocks the physical symptoms of anxiety. It stops your hear rate and blood pressure from rising. It stops those uncomfortable adrenaline rushes. It stops stress-induced trembling / shaking.
It's completely safe, any doctor will happily prescribe it, it's not addicting, and unlike benzos, it doesn't affect your cognition.
Thanks but I've tried beta blockers and a couple of SSRIs and diazepam is the only thing that touches my anxiety. When I walk in public the vigilance to perceived threat is is what I would expect walking through 1980s Beirut, it's a primitive fear response that manifests through symptoms that are more mental than physical in nature - heart rate and sweating in particular are issues but seem to me to be at the bottom of the chain.
How can it be "completely safe" if it's affecting your heart rate and blood pressure? Those are pretty basic systems to tamper with and altering them in ways contrary to what signals your brain is sending is inherently going against the normal functioning of your body.
And I’m not sure why propranolol would be continue to be prescribed, as it as been for 50+ years, for acute heart attacks if there was a substantial risk in the patients health deteriorating. It’s one of the oldest beta blockers in use.
I watched the first 15 minutes of this and what shocked me is how unrevealing it was. If someone recorded me over the course of weeks or months, I would almost certainly say something that would land me in hot water in some sense. This piece of 'investigative journalism' I actually found embarrassing, all this editing to big it up as some major conspiracy when to me, in that 15 mins at least, was at worst run of the mill lobbying. Considering how unsavoury a character Corbyn was, I actually found the subjects incredibly restrained, perhaps part of the JD however.
It’s not so much memory management, it’s battery that is a significant benefactor when using safari in my experience; of course only relevant using MacBook on the go. I do find chrome more sluggish on my 2015 5k iMac as well
I totally agree with you. Still, saving some battery to have busted websites is almost never a good trade-off.
Safari is still my default browser. It has better password manager integration and a number of OS integration features that I prefer. But, like I said, I find myself having to switch to another browser for a number of common websites.
Furthermore, on my M1 Macbook Air, battery life is quite literally an irrelevant concern. Not only is the battery life longer, but the difference in draining rate between light and heavy applications seems to be greatly reduced compared to Intel (by my subjective measurement). Of course, I can understand that not everyone owns this particular machine.
Would never have guessed.
