Holy shit mine too! Mines much higher pitch but it was also briefly relieved. Ima keep that video in my pocket…

I wonder if there’s a way to tune that to match and negate an individual’s sound waves…

I’ve never even heard of it. Do you have a link to a recipe that you’d recommend?

I don’t mind “wasting” garlic. I grow it, and it’s cake to plant more :)

First time I met my partner they offered me some of their ghost pepper garlic wings.

Garlic is delicious. Eat it. Someone good for you will be eating it with you.

You’re right, I would do the same in that position and I know my friends did too. It’s a support; they didn’t volunteer the pages, I asked for them.

Thank you :)

Oh man, kids are brutal when it comes to pointing out insecurities you have about yourself.

They don’t care if they destroy everything you are, they are going for maximum damage.

That’s a good point about having everything laid bare. It’ll be a challenge to separate out actionable issues, but at least I have somewhere to start. Thank you for that :)

That’s a good way to frame it, thank you. They are providing me an excellent reference for the position I really need to be in. I hate needing to ask for help in the first place (support has been lacking in my life) and that probably makes this whole thing feel worse.

I have AutDHD, and rejection sensitive dysphoria, to boot, so I’m a bit of a sensitive mess about stuff, however that’s also why I sometimes like to get outside thoughts before I act on any of it. I know I’m a sensitive mess and I want to reframe things so I can approach them properly.

Most of what they mentioned I knew, and I know they played it up for the sake of the job. There were some things I hadn’t considered because they didn’t seem connected to me. They made some connections that have me on that introspection ride, and dealing with that has been the major challenge. I’ve always asked people to be honest and upfront with me and it feels like maybe they haven’t been, but maybe because it doesn’t rise to the level of concern. I don’t know, and I don’t know if it’s worth pursuing.

Seeing an exaggeration of my burden hurts too, but I literally asked for that. I can’t fault them for delivering. One sent me multiple drafts and asked if they should add more, because they had a lot to say. And I said write as much as you want, they have to read it all.

You are absolutely right, and I do know they played it up for the sake of the claim. They, however, pointed out a lot of things I hadn’t even personally considered as impacts, and they are right. They brought up examples I’d forgotten about. They expressed everything with such kindness that I know it wasn’t meant to be hurtful, but it still hurts.

But you are also correct that they do stick with me in spite of it. We all have our own issues and we all make accommodations for each other, and they did mention times I showed up in a big way for them even though it was difficult. I hope that’s more how they see me than the parts I actually asked them to write about how bad it is heh :)

I appreciate your perspective, thank you for taking the time to help me manage these feelings.

Thank you, I appreciate your words and support <3

I do my best to let stuff go, this one is just challenging my view of myself as capable and independent, and that’s hard.

I meant it more like short term worries than long term memories. Running programs vs. saved files.

Everything that makes me who I am is in my saved files, that should all be safe through a shut down.

But the little running program fragments, all those little worries that never fully go away but don’t actually need to be taking resources to process, that’s all in that memory cache. Wipe that and the whole system is more efficient for a while, until they build up again.

I’ve always wanted to just reboot like a computer. Maybe shut down for a while to ensure my cache is cleared and all my capacitors are de-energized, and just stay that way for however long… then boot up fresh, with free memory and processing capacity.

I refuse to engage with other people’s holiday shit until I have visual confirmation of Hans Grueber falling from the Nakatomi Plaza building.

That one started when I was like 10 and usually happens within a week of thanksgiving. I try to avoid other Xmas stuff whenever I can. It’s a rough holiday (season) for me, kinda always has been even as a kid, and I don’t have anyone to spend it with anyway.

You can’t fool us! That’s not ivory, it’s a carved and slightly oxidized potato!

Only interaction I usually have with llms is when my cookies get cleared and my search result has the AI overview thing turned on. It never makes it through to actually presenting a result before I turn it off, though. Hate that shit being on ecosia. Really defeats the purported mission purpose, imo.

I played with a free image generator back when they first came out, found them fairly unimpressive, and moved on.

I’ll wait until they can proc gen vr environments without causing nausea. That’s about the only use I personally have for what presently passes for ai.

Does that cause a lot of damage, either to the rails or the … tram bits?

I tried it once and I was confused and there was little or no content, but it could have been the instance I was on.

Similar experience. And not much better an experience as a potential creator looking for a good home for a few educational videos, ime.

I sneeze an average of something like 5 times a day. I cluster sneeze, and the number in the cluster rose from 3-5+ over the years, and some days are worse but its frequent enough to probably average to 5. My prior average was 1-2 a day, so even tho I’m almost 40, I’m going with the future sneezes.

$15/day is nothing to sneeze at, after all.

I actually really appreciate the weight check at my doctor. I’ll often request it if they skip it.

It means if I remember to take 3 sample weights at home (to make sure I’m not stepping funny or whatever; it’s kinda sensitive), I can verify the accuracy of my scale without actually doing anything. This is important for me because I only use the scale every few months to make sure I’m still within my healthy range (I tend to rapidly lose weight when stressed or depressed)

Same with blood pressure. I have a cuff at home but I rarely use it. It’s good to verify it’s working properly.

Excellent! Ahead of the curve! Love it!

Dare I say, dapper, even?

idk if men’s fashion as a whole is ready for a new cycle, but I sure am!

This year it’s skinny capris with button cuffs!

Maybe next year is puffy sleeves! No I’m not joking, I enjoy peacocking.

Then maybe long curled hair, and styled facial hair! Show people you care how you look again!

Then waistcoats! With pocket watches (maybe pocket watch smartphones? Kill your browsing habit?)

Then capes! Because capes!

Variety! You can wear it across the ages and just look dapper! And we can bring back the word dapper because it would apply again!

Had to look up that acronym/abbreviation, but that’s the best description of it I’ve ever seen, yes.
