I need 10 hours of sleep each night, do I have a disability?

@blakeyrat Worse. It would underscore the paranoia of my reaction.

@scholrlea Here's a Stalker, Misery hero variant:

I said Paranoia, not BattleTech.
Which reminds me, I should add the videos about recent stuff about Harmony Gold and Harebrained Studios to the French Kisses thread.

I'm feeling a bit, I dunno, targeted...
By what?
Nothing really, just, well, I'm a bit over-sensitive on the whole SSD thing and I read into this something that wasn't really there.
...you're not making any sense, but I have a feeling that you might be talking about a different sort of SSD...

I like how this obvious joke thread that could not be more obviously a joke turned instantly into the "give unsolicited advice to Blakeyrat" thread.
Here's some unsolicited advice: don't assume your jokes are obvious, because they're not.
I have a disability that prevents me from reading non-verbal cues across the internet.

@scholrlea Would it make you feel better or worse if I told you I don't even know what "the inspiration thread" is?

I have a visibility issue that prevents me from reading any cues from across the Internet.
Y'all are just a bunch of symbols to me!

I used to be like you. But now all I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.

@boomzilla It's good for degreasing brains and killing engine cells.

In fact, forget the brains!

But how can you forget brains if brains control whether you forget things?

@pie_flavor That reminds me, I need to find the source of that topless boxer photo for... research.

Behold! Contactless pickpocketing!
That too, though I was thinking of picking pockets to get contactless ATM cards and then using them to buy stuff with.

Nope, it's perfectly normal. 10 hours. Geez!
If you need extra assurance it's normal, sleep at night, sorry to restate the obvious, eliminate all sources of blue light in the room etc. Make sure you have bright light in the morning. Get that circadian shit in order so you make sure every hour of sleep is the best quality there is.
If it turns out you need less sleep after that, good. It was just that you had long but crappy sleep before.
If it's still 10 hours, I wouldn't bother if I were you.
If it's still 10 hours and it bothers you, maybe visit your endocrinologist or how that is called and check your hormones. A slight hormonal fuckup might cause an increased need for sleep. Yep, it happens to men as well.
Especially if you were on antidepressants, you should be happy you only need 10 hours of sleep.

Does body produced antidepressants count? Asking for a friend...

@tsaukpaetra I dunno, I'm not a MD. I'm speaking mostly for what I observed in Mrs wft when she took hers, that it can be the case.
I also know that most of pharmaceutically made antidepressants available tend to have long-ass lists of negative side effects.

Bloating, swelling, nausea, bloody nose, stress, anxiety.... Wait, am I describing pregnancy?

I find pickpocketing to be an excellent way to make extra cash on the side with little time commitment necessary
Too many witnesses. Just loot the bodies.

Well, that, and the fact that I have always felt like my family was railroading me into this whole
SSDSSDS application thing.Your family are a bunch of sadistic abusers who deserve a painful, public execution.

Do I have a disability?
If a doctor will sign off on it, then yes
If so, how do I get paid for it?
Contact one of those shady "get u disability" services.

That's the first one that showed up in the paid "ad" section in Google with adblock off, so you KNOW it's extra shady.
After that, start a developer blog where you start each article with "as a developer with disability, my insight is (insert obvious generic programming 101 lesson here)". Every other blog post is just a repost of some Slashdot or Buzzfeed article. Load up the site with ads, banners and Patron links. Wait for the requests for "sponsored content" and bribe swag to roll in.
You're welcome.

What's up with the lack of deep black in that picture?
Here's a version where I used GIMP's auto white balance:
Here's a version where I manually adjusted the levels (WOMM):
