    • A win for a semi-garbage weekend.
    • AI is just advanced google search. You can ask AI "what references have you used for generating this answer?" and it will give you the original pages.  For the training, it probably just searched online and read out to you what it saw on the 12 month training program.  For "adverse effect?" question, it's putting a lot of different things in the same answer. Yes there are adverse things, there are threads about diaper rash on this site, but that's about it.  The answer given by AI is more like it copy and pasted "consequences of bladder stone" from somewhere. One of the major factor of bladder stone is not drinking enough water, which is exactly the opposite of what we do. 
    • First Concert:  Beatles, 1964. My Dad took me and my little brother. We couldn't hear a thing but the screams. Best Concert:  Too many to identify the best. Up there somewhere are the Incredible String Band performing U at the Roundhouse in 1970.  Melanie playing Glastonbury at dawn on mid-summer's day in 1971. Ry Cooder with Flaco Jimenez in Manchester. The Cramps at the Hacienda in Manchester. The Fall every time I saw them. Worst Concert: Caravan at York University in the early 70s. So loud I had to leave. Glad I got to see:  The Byrds, Captain Beefheart, Shonen Knife. Wish I could see:  Gus Cannon, Minnie Wallace, or any of the early jug bands. Next concert: No idea. But there'll be one...
    • Thank you, and that’s exactly the mindset I want to capture in this part of the story. As I’m writing it, I keep asking myself what this would actually feel like for Reggie. The swaddling is obviously humiliating and restrictive, but I think the loss of time would be the thing that truly breaks him down. Not knowing what hour it is, what day it is, or how long something has been going on would be terrifying in a quieter way. It turns the whole experience into a mental game where he’s constantly trying to anchor himself to something real. FTR, a lot of Reggie’s flaws—the mess, the lack of organization, the way he lets basic things slide when he’s overwhelmed—come directly from my most self-critical view of myself. I’m exaggerating them for the story, obviously, but emotionally that part is very real. Reggie isn’t meant to be helpless because he’s incapable; he’s someone whose weakest traits get exposed, magnified, and then weaponized against him. I haven’t experienced that exact kind of time-blindness as an adult, but I can relate to the feeling of being disoriented. When I was younger, I went on a trip where I didn’t really know where I was. People told me the names of towns, but without a map or any context, the names meant nothing. Even now, I can only vaguely deduce where I must have been. Later, on a trip to New York with my team handball club, I had the same kind of reaction. We flew into Newark and drove to Long Island, and I hated not being able to place myself. The next morning, when people were discussing directions, I interrupted just to ask, “Where are we right now?” I couldn’t stand not knowing. That’s the feeling I’m trying to channel with Reggie, except with time instead of place. He’s not just trapped physically; he’s cut off from the basic markers that help adults orient themselves. No clocks, no calendar, no schedule he controls. He has to build a timeline from meals, naps, bottles, TV shows, light through the window, and scraps of overheard information. That’s psychologically brutal. Part of why I used swaddling instead of spanking is that spanking is such a dominant trope in ABDL fiction. So many stories use it as the default breaking point: the antagonist beats the protagonist down until they beg, submit, or give in. I have a strong aversion to that trope, so I deliberately avoided it. But in doing that, I may have created something worse for Reggie. If Mom had only spanked him, there would still be something concrete for him to resist. Pain has a shape; it starts, escalates, and ends. What she does instead is psychological. She takes away time, privacy, routine, speech, and choice until giving in stops looking like surrender and starts looking like survival. Part of the reason for me including swaddling is my
