RationizedInsanity🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸

This profile is a short form writing project by someone odd, and a place to post my creative endeavors.

I suffer from - Tourettes, ADHD, OCD and PTSD and my life is as strange as they get.

I run a YouTube, and Scoopz channel with shorts and photography being posted regularly, all named JARRENoMgWtF.

I accept donations, but I do all this for fun in the end.

You can find my social links in my about if you are curious!

There was a point I could barely walk to the grocery store and back, my #health was absolutely terrible for a while at the tail end of my #addiction and beginning of #sobriety a few years ago.
Last night I got lost and missed the last bus home after closing for a new job, and decided I didn't want to wait in the cold until 4 AM so I casually walked 11 miles home.
After walking at work about another 10ish miles, and beginning my day with a 3 mile stroll.
Legs were fine.

If anyone ever tells you to act your age, I have an amazing response that works every single time in derailing their rage-train into screaming nonsense, or shutting them up:
"Well how the f**k old am I acting anyway?"
Nobody ever does and they don't have a response yet.
So it will completely stop them for a moment and it's the funniest look you've ever seen.

@nprofile…mkea I did used it to successfully get off of opioids.
I was a hardcore junkie for a couple years.
So I can't hate it, but a few times I lost my kratom and couldn't immediately replace it, and I felt HORRIBLE.
I was going through straight up opioid withdrawal six months after no actual opioids. Just not as intense.
So it has uses.
Buuuut...
I dunno if it should be available to any random idiot because it is dangerous mixed with alcohol and it can intoxicate you by itself.

I have yet to meet a #landlord that isn't scummy.
I don't think they exist, there seems to be something inherently link between renting stuff to people, and being a piece of shit.
They'll endanger 8 lives to save 5 dollars, and that's a fact. I found out the owner of this sober living house has been intentionally not running the AC to cut costs, telling everyone it didn't work right.
They also didn't run it all day yesterday during an extreme heat advisory.

Some people spend like 100 dollars on a cup, then buy like 70 of them for some reason.
I'll use the same Brisk Lemonade bottle for two weeks until I accidentally leave it somewhere and forget, and then I have an excuse to buy another lemonade!
I have other cups.
Usually that I found at a thrift store and couldn't possibly imagine spending 100 when I'll find a mug that's 4 and go "nah, too pricey,".
The Brisk just had a cap, and I'm clumsy.

@nprofile…emwt The WORST people I had to deal with while homeless were drunk.
It brings the aggression out more than anything else I've seen. Even meth heads. Which are insane too, but kinda just do very strange stuff most of the time.
Almost every time I've been randomly attacked or confused as to how I pissed someone off: alcohol.
Also my mom was an alcoholic and it just makes me sad every time I'm drunk as alcohol seems to make me endlessly ruminate on horrible stuff.
Not my idea of fun.

@nprofile…emwt This is the kind of story that only substances would generate.
I got knocked out once because a friend who was about 5 foot 2 (and very intoxicated) decided to get angry with someone who was about 7 feet tall and built like a bear.
I made the mistake of trying to convince a drunk human bear to not continue caving my friends face in.

@nprofile…emwt Jesus Christ I'd have probably panicked and shouted at 27 people if that happened to me.
I had a similar experience at a bar when some random drunk woman just walked up behind me and licked the back of my neck, and that was pretty much the last time I went to a shitty dive bar in Idaho.

2025-08-21 01:50:15 UTC

Sometimes as an adult you remember something from being a teenager that absolutely wasn't okay, but you barely thought about it for more than a day afterwards.
I just had such a moment.
I briefly worked at a telephone survey company when I was about 16. A 33 year old woman was always flirting with me, which I awkwardly took as a joke.
Then she figured out my cellphone number and invited me over one day, and I told her I had a girlfriend and forgot it ever happened.

2025-08-19 06:32:42 UTC

I have something I call the "Speaker Phone Effect," when I live in shared places like the sober living house I stay.
If someone has loud ass conversations on speaker phone all the time, completely ignoring the idea of being courteous to others, they'll find a way to get kicked out.
That behavior is a sign that they aren't thinking about others much, are likely an asshole, and will do something more drastic later.
Someone almost did tonight and has been here three days.

#kratom is in the #news.
I used it for a while when I first quit illicit #drugs since it massively quelled #opioid withdrawal, acting on the same receptors:
It's like the diet version of an opioid painkiller.
I slowly tapered off it until I didn't use it at all over roughly a year, and it used to be a lot more niche.
Now people are getting addicted to it in mass since it's a pain killer with extra effects, the #fda is eying it, and I'm glad I stopped.

@nprofile…emwt I like crafting, making things, exploring, and learning super complicated systems.
So I do it in video games too.
Also games with tons of items and huge inventories satisfy my OCD nature to organize the hell out of stuff.
I tried playing Minecraft and would spend all my time making the perfect house, and storing facilities, then modded the hell out of it so I could make more stuff to organize and store.
I never finished it xD

@nprofile…emwt I've never really tried any kind of investment or semi complicated financial decision.
I have just enough money to get by in LA and not be completely destitute since my rent, and basic needs like hygiene items, basic clothes and often food which gets donated to FSP often.
If I had to cover rent myself, and didn't have that stuff, I'd be in a much more desperate situation.

@nprofile…emwt I have the opposite problem where modern games don't feel complicated enough for me.
I am a problem solver by nature, and started gaming out with semi complicated RPGs like Diablo, Dungeons & Dragons, and Fallout. Or RTS games like Homeworld, Command & Conquer, and Total War.
I was really enjoying Noita lately. "AAA" games all feel like complete dogshit with complexity to me. They're all wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.

I've almost completely stopped playing #videogames. Even older games I used to enjoy, and pixel graphic or retro style #indiegames I am playing less of.
They used to be a massive escape, and I used to spend most of my time alone playing them. Though I am starting to realize it was more of an #addiction and maybe I like #gambling more than I think since I used to play tons of multiplayer games with loot boxes, and premium mechanics.
I was playing them since I felt I needed to.

I had a conversation with a #maga sheep that made me realize a trait they all seem to share:
They are so desperate to argue, that even if you DIRECTLY TELL THEM you're going to make fun of them, and won't take them seriously, they won't believe it.
All you have to say is "I don't care," and they'll tell you everything they think, and vomit out an essay.
They're trying to MAKE you care about their beliefs, and force their denial on you. It's not worth taking seriously.

My tics are super sensitive to sound, so I can't really escape always having headphones on me as trying to walk next to traffic, or take public transportation is a nightmare for me if I can't cancel it out at times.
But when it's more quiet, I enjoy the sounds of the world. I've been enjoying early mornings, and night walks recently.
I'm basically retired at this point.

@nprofile…emwt Sensory issues usually have to do with neurology a lot of the time.
So that is where I would start.
That is the basis of my sensitivity to being overly stimulated a lot. Also other weird sensory stuff like synesthesia and visual snow syndrome. Migraines, even, are a neurologist you'd see I believe.

My case manager is working with a housing program specifically meant for people who have chronic illnesses that can result in being #homeless.
In theory I should be able to get priority as #tourettes has the risk of shouting myself out of places if I panic, or have persistent problems that lead me to not feeling safe in combination with severe #cptsd.

I like to ask myself important questions in #life.
Questions like "Do I really want to eat the entire pizza?".
And "Why are you asking stupid questions? EAT THE DaMn PiZzA!" Or maybe that last bit was the #tourettes.
But it sounds like a good idea to me, and it's a peculiar life when I'm simply happy I had an oven to bake it in.
Which I lacked until very recently O.o
Small steps, my life gets better, and I accidentally command myself to eat more pizza, and then listen.

There would be only one way to make #fastfood cheap again with the current #food economy -
Have a very simple menu of items you could buy in bulk, and specialize in.
You know, kinda how it started with burgers, fries and shakes. Instead of trying to cater to every single group which only worked when food was cheap in general.
Now it's not, and fast food is killing itself by raising prices instead of doing a more simple menu.

I always wondered why most EU countries seemed to have nicer things, and better lives than most Americans, despite having lower per capita GDPs when I was younger.
I realized when I studied American #economics that it was because of income disparity.
All the GDP gets stuck at the top, and never enters the hands of most Americans, so most are overall more poor. Also military spending, and corruption has a lot to do with it.
The American Dream is more of a lottery than #work.

2. Nobody outside the USA can seem to be able to watch my stuff.

It was IMPOSSIBLE to force myself to care, and pay enough attention.

It was already doing badly, and I am sure the lack of #tourism isn't gonna help.
2 million properties are predicted to hit the #housing market, which will sink housing A TON, and that is not accounting for the lack of tourism. So likely more.
Though unless it out paces our GDP crash, and rising inflation-
Dunno if it will help.

I have a frustrating issue with #scoopz due to their auto-check system for offensive, and hateful content.

It's frustrating as some words relate directly to the topics that trend.

I miss my mom particularly harshly at the moment.
I think it's because I feel lost, when usually I am very self assured and guided.
With the #usa the way it is, the future is nothing but uncertainty, and when I felt lost I would seek her guidance.
She was amazingly wise after an hard life. Harder than most I know.
I can't now.
So I'll pray.
Not to any God, but to her.
Her words were more powerful than any holy book EVER was.

Man... #foxnews is something else.
They don't have any idea how to spin the recent #signal leak and are panic lying.
Direct quote from one of their Anchors-
"No one outside of DC, or in the news business really cares about this story. There's no video, there's no sex, there's no fraud, nobody even knows what a #houthi is! People know who Bin Laden is, people know what ISIS is, NO ONE knows what a Houthi is,".
This is the dumbest thing I've EVER heard a news anchor say.

I just found out one of my favorite #youtube channels/podcasts - #MeidasTouch is now OUTPERFORMING #joerogan THE INCEL LOVED BRO-KING UGLY DUDE CONSPIRACY THEORIST.
He's been outdone by A LIBERAL #podcast that absolutely hates everything #trump does. Highy recommend.
It's one of the places I get news to make videos on #scoopz with the #groundnews app, which is fantastic. It gives you sources from all sides for major #news so you aren't biased.
Good day for libs!

Damn... I have to buy a mic now.
I was relying on my headphones, which are quite expensive Marshall Major IV Bluetooth headphones.
They still work with sound, but are getting old and the microphone crapped out.
So now I am relying on my phone, which is still great for a phone, but doesn't have much range, and I lose sound quality/volume when I use a stand and lean back a bit.
Why do I have to be poor?
I can justify a cheap mic for my sanity, I hate bad sound.

@nprofile…emwt You should switch to Air Talk Wireless.
They can actually give you a free one of the exact phone I have, and have like 30 others you can choose for free, and it's an online application only so I think they are national.
They'll just send you a free 200 dollar phone. Let you pick which ever, and then you can upgrade from the 10 gigs of fast data to unlimited for like 30 a month. 5G.
I think they may have a few Pixels actually.
I had it before and had it stolen with a Galaxy phone

@nprofile…emwt I would really recommend #oneplus for Androids. I have a rather budget one that was about 150 when I bought it as an unlocked version new.
It has a much better camera than anything else at a similar price, and looking over their cheaper phones, it seems to have much the same features and a decent camera too.
It's what I do everything on currently. Accidentally bought the best phone I could have on a budget to do video editing and recording.
Great mic too.

2025-03-22 17:43:37 UTC

I wouldn't usually recommend #walmart as I don't agree with how they treat their staff and other shady stuff.
If you need a #tripod for a digital camera or a phone, they have a great one for SIX DOLLARS!
Other large retailers were trying to sell ones for 20+. I am on an extremely short budget until I get my #disability next month (hopefully).
Phone holder detaches. It can then be used for a regular camera. Fully adjustable. Pistol Grip too!

@nprofile…emwt Yea just make all your stuff look old, and then you're good! STORAGE SAVED!
I usually use 720p, and 24 frames a second now, and it works!
Then it can actually be an artistic choice too.
I'll keep doing it even when I do have storage. Takes forever to process those high res, high frame rate videos. Takes even longer to upload them.
The place I live is in a 5G black hole, and the WiFi runs at about 1-2 MB/s with upload.
So 25-60 MB is a lot more convenient than 150-350.

2025-03-21 12:26:58 UTC

So I have been steadily getting followers on #scoopz which usually amounted to about 15-20 a day. I was satisfied, and happy I was gaining some at all.
I estimated that it was going to take me about 2-3 months to be able to get monetized, as you need 1000 to join the creator fund.
Yesterday I absolutely exploded, and it will probably only take a week or two if this keeks up.
I had 270 at the start of yesterday. I think.
I have 403 about 24 hours later O.o

@nprofile…emwt Hey this may be relevant to you.

2025-03-21 03:39:05 UTC

I've come up with a clever way to save storage with my limited capacity as all I have is my phone, and about 100 gigs available.
I was doing high res and high frame rate.
I realized I've been using effects to make it look like an old VCR or TV starting.
There are filters that make it look vintage, or like film. A lower frame rate and res naturally go with them, and now I have reduced my average final videos down to about 50 MBs, and I think they look cooler!

I want to make something clear-
I am VERY liberal.
I am NOT a #democrat. I am independent, as I feel both sides have failed me.
I speak out so much against #trump and #maga as they simply represent the opposite of what I want and need from this country, I am #disabled and need my benefits as I heal from a ton of problems before I work again.
It's shameful they seem above the #law and want complete power, and I don't want to live in an #oligarchy like Russia.
So I SPEAK.

#scoopz itself must be noticing me.
They have trending hashtags you can post on, and have their own page that promotes videos and displays them for the tag.
My videos have been showing up on hashtag pages I haven't posted on yet but are related somehow.
They rolled out an update that improved the UI. Could be a glitch.
I've had a surge in followers. Usually get like 10-20 a day. I've gotten 60+ today, and it's only 2 PM!
At 367. I need 1000 to get monetized!

You should really think twice about taking #Antipsychotic drugs unless you ABSOLUTELY need them.
Recent studies have shown that they caused brain damage, due to oxidative stress put on the brain by messing with dopamine, reducing gray matter, or otherwise, neurons for those unsure about what that means.
They caused ME brain and nerve damage in about six years of misdiagnosis.
Turns out many disorders aren't degenerative. It was being caused by the drugs themselves.

I really should have done some more research about #editing video before I bought an SD card.
I bought it before I was posting like five videos a day on #scoopz and do everything I do with my phone.
I figured 64 gigs would be enough cuz I wasn't doing NEARLY as much.
Not even close. I have already maxed it out. I care about quality, and the average minute long video I post ends up being about 150 Megabytes at 60 FPS and 1080p.
So now I have to go delete a bunch of stuff.

Some people cannot visualize things in their heads. Some can picture objects with exact details. There is a spectrum between.
I am at the extreme end.
I can picture the object in vivid detail, I can move around it, and even feel it in my hand.
Build an entire world around it, and remember what I made, even feel the weather.
My mother was a wonderful artist and I am a lot like her. I share the same mental illnesses too.
I am glad she gave me this imagination.

Every now and again someone will call me a meth head on Scoopz as I am hyper and a bit twitchy.
All I have to type is "I have Tourettes," and they immediately get mobbed or delete the comment.
I find this very entertaining xD
They love to make fun of people on welfare and disability, right up until they actually make fun of someone disabled by accident.
Then run away when they can't take the heat.

#trump is now blatantly defying court orders!
He just deported those locked up Venezuelans to El Salvador.
Just like any criminal - thinking they are above the law, and if someone is a #maga supporter still, they are criminals too.
Most criminals I know are actually more intelligent than these people, and have better insults, actually.
So that's an insult to criminals, really.

After I discovered my #tourettes I almost thought I was accidentally faking around others.
My tics would get more frequent, almost like I was trying to show off, not made better by several cruel people saying the same thing.
I realized it was due to being embarrassed, and stressed out by strangers, both of which increase the frequency of my tics. Especially if people started looking at me.
Once I made this connection I was able to let go of that.

@nprofile…emwt So if you know any short form content creators who are struggling to get traction anywhere, tell them to go make a #scoopz because it's probably the best platform I have found for someone trying to break into short form content.
I have absolutely exploded and I've done nothing differently. In fact I put LESS effort in.
Plus they have trending tags that get you a ton more attention you can leverage.
Not many real content creators there yet.
Get in now while you can.

I have now crossed TWO thresholds I need to get monetized on #scoopz in less than a week.
I have passed 100,000 views!
The other one was easy, simply 3 videos and I made 50+ so far.
The last one is the slowest - followers. I require 1000 and I have 167, but that was always going to be the hardest.
If you are on #scoopz and would follow me, I would appreciate it.
I have no idea what the money is like, but I intend to find out!

@nprofile…96mr Plus there is nothing wrong with welfare anyway if you need it. It's a useful thing and takes people out of poverty, and poor people usually end up costing society WAY MORE than just giving them some money and support. So welfare makes the impoverished CHEAPER to deal with for the rich in an overall sense.

2025-03-12 11:26:28 UTC

I made a #video on #scoopz in an Introduction trending tag that got around 12,000 views and told people about my YouTube Channel.
The views on my videos on YouTube from that signal boost have been more than YouTube's own algorithm has given me in like a month.
Which is why I essentially gave up on YouTube.
Why would I put effort into videos there if their algorithms hardly ever show my stuff around?
I wouldn't.

When I realized my drug addiction stemmed from things that were never really my fault, self medicating for problems I did not know I had, I was able to let go of almost all my shame and reclaim my power, and happiness.
I didn't know until about 27 or 28 I had any of these issues for sure.
Just shots in the dark that hurt me, and I never got help much. My family just shamed me constantly for being sick into silence so they could bury their abuse.
I am very happy to be alive.

Then I took an actual IQ test, and whether you want to use that to actually define intellect or not is debatable, but I discovered a savant ability for pattern finding and learning new info quickly as well, and an official IQ of about 150.
So my whole body is fucked up.

@nprofile…mkea Every antipsychotic I've taken made me depressed and lacking in will.
They also make your Tourettes worse if you're on them for a long time then stop. They did take away a lot of tics. If I don't have them I find I also lose my will to do anything because they usually motivate me to do stuff. Moving actively feels extremely good.
I was misdiagnosed as skizoeffective a long time.
Also it took away my synesthesia and it was like a lost loved one when it came back.

@nprofile…mkea I kinda had the same thoughts.
My favorite from being in the mental hospital recently was how the doctor didn't even know I had Tourettes until I felt and just kept randomly assigning Antipsychotics and getting really really mad every time I refused them.
He must have just thought I was bipolar or hearing things. Never asked my issues.
I wasn't nice either.
I literally told him his treatments were fucking worthless to me and he should find a job he was good at.

So much of my life has been hardship that it doesn't even really register in my mind anymore.
Some things I've experienced I'll never speak about. They are too disturbing to me. You'd have wanted to die, and I certainly did. For years of my life.
I was too ANGRY to die.
If I died, the people who hurt me accomplished what they set out to.
A slow death to wash their hands of and bury.
Now they suffer.
I'm fine, and I'll sooner hang myself before giving them a rope.

My entire life I thought I was suffering from #migraine headaches constantly.
#medication does not help them at all which was confusing to me, until I started trying to talk to other people online with severe #tourettes and saw a few TV interviews where they described a similar problem.
They aren't migraines. They're my nervous system freaking out from suppression of tics too much, and look similar.
They are happening less the more I learn to relax in public.
