Elon Musk's cyborg plans
CChuuni
Is it fucked up that even the most "THEY WANT YOU TO STRAP A SEWING MACHINE TO YOUR HEAD" naysayer commentary I am still like "Cures migraines? Let's me work? I'll take it!"
CChuuni
but they're literally recreating cybus earbuds controlled by iphone apps
tronja307020
??? What's he plotting on doing now?
CChuuni
Elon Musk's Startup Neuralink Works on Tech To Link ...
tronja307020
OH OK
CChuuni
like it's literally 20,000 needles into the skull etc.
CChuuni
but given I currently feel like I have so much worse going on up top :V aaaaayyyy
tronja307020
On one hand, the scifi nerd in me is like GIVE IT TO ME! But the needlephobic person in me is like 
CChuuni
XD
CChuuni
I did acupuncture and botox into the face/skull/neck
tronja307020
brrrrr NOPE
Akeshu
/nopes at needles too
CChuuni
I thought needles would bother me because when I have migraines
CChuuni
IVs freak me out
CChuuni
but it turns out they're really not a problem
CChuuni
and even relaxing
tronja307020
I've heard that you don't really feel the acupuncture needles because they're so tthin? But it's purely mental for me.
tronja307020
Knowing they're there would make my brain go into panic mode.
CChuuni
Yeah you don't feel them annnnnnnnd that is what I thought would happen too but
CChuuni
my great uncle had to get a metal plate in his skull from Vietnam war
CChuuni
and he was like "acupuncture is like a miracle, I was in pain, I would have flashbacks, it was daily torture. The acuncture REALLY helps and I know you are tougher than this" and I was like "I'm super not" but he and my Grandmother held my hand and were like "Try once and then we won't make you try again" and it was reaaaaaaaaaalllllllllly helpful XDDDd
CChuuni
and I didn't freak out. It's very soothing
CChuuni
and the electricity helped the nerves and migraines
tronja307020
Ohhhh, well that's cool, then! I'm glad it helped.
CChuuni
tronja307020
Ohhh, you got the electrical acupuncture? Where they hook up teeny batteries?
CChuuni
yup!
CChuuni
My heart is a mess so the electrical bonus made my limbs move better :V
CChuuni
increased circulation and whole electric flow
tronja307020
That's good! It's surprising, how something so seemingly simple can do so much!
CChuuni
and sometimes you could feel the electricity like thrumming but it was sweeeet
CChuuni
yes :3
CChuuni
but yeah the needles you don't feel
CChuuni
I couldn't look at them or move though
CChuuni
but it was like 20 minutes of just working mentally/meditating/talking to my Mom because
CChuuni
my Mom would get it in one hand for her back and she has massive adhd so sitting still for her is pretty impossible
tronja307020
Yeah, I'm better if I don't see the needles or move when I'm having to have blood work done, 'cause then I can try and force my brain to pretend it's not happening. Otherwise OH LOOK. THERE'S PRESSURE THERE. NEEDLE IS IN MY ARM AUGH
CChuuni
yeah well I have to completely be lying back and eyes closed for blood drawn because I pass out from blood pressure usually
CChuuni
but you do feel that
CChuuni
fo sho
tronja307020
SAME
CChuuni
the acupuncture you don't really feel. Like I could usually feel it at my temples because
tronja307020
They found that out the hard way the first few times I had to do blood work in my teens. If I'm not laying down, I will pass out.
CChuuni
my temples are always throbbing/swollen and the veins are really elastic but
CChuuni
it felt GOOD
CChuuni
like
CChuuni
I still acupressure as often as I remember XD
CChuuni
but it felt very cooling and like radiating calm?
tronja307020
awww, oh man, see, just thinking about that makes me cringe lol
CChuuni
and I definitely couldn't feel the ones in my legs, but that's where my paralysis is worst so
CChuuni
XD
CChuuni
yeah I mean
CChuuni
CChuuni
It freaked me out a ton before I tried it
CChuuni
But see above
CChuuni
I'll do anything if there's a reasonable chance of it working
tronja307020
Yeah, after you have to deal with severe pain for long enough, you get kind of desperate for anything to stop it.
CChuuni
XD ya
