I haven’t ever seen Lovense’s products not at ~50% discount. I was buying something on Christmas and rushing to beat the sale in case another wasn’t for a whole, but as soon as midnight rolled around, lol and behold the Boxing Day Sale went live.

The AI push right now is crazy. Where I’m working all teams have to show how much they’re using AI and where. Rather than being measured on their success they’re being measured on how they’re doing it.

If I type *blah* it shows it as something like blah, but I want it to not format until I send. It’s difficult for me to write in WYSIWYG editors. I want it to show *blah*.

I took a class on Unix/Linux in college for Computer Science and cyber security absolutely is too.

I’m on Mac and I dislike it too. No flashing cursor to let me know I’ve selected the chat window to type. The app insists on changing to a different view when I switch windows, making me lose it. The share screen ribbon always manages to be exactly where I need it to not be. Doesn’t allow any sort of Markdown-esque formatting in chat, only WYSIWYG.

I hate this so much. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing ways to avoid it. Windows 8 was particularly bad, my recollection was they literally looked exactly the same there, no difference at all. Luckily I only had to use it for a very brief unpaid internship.

I am already filled with guilt about the way things like executive dysfunction work. I don’t open up about the details of it with folks because I’m afraid they’ll think I’m lazy.

Brain scans revealed that these medications activate reward and alertness systems

I’ve been taking ADHD medication for over a decade and was told this was how it works.

FREE ME FROM YOUR GRASP, CURSED FLOWER!

The worse things get in my life the more I feel like this. I believe it’s a consequence of being raised Christian. (Though I am an atheist now.) When I was younger I believed God never gives you more than you can handle. So when things got bad it felt like God was breaking that promise. Now that I’m older it feels like “bad writing.” Like, really? This many bad things in such a short time period? It’s a little on the nose, isn’t it? It’s why I can’t rewatch I saw the TV Glow until I know I am in a very stable mental place.

The irony being that I have been going through a bit of a gender journey for a while and knew the movie had themes to do with that, but none of that really hot anywhere close to home as the rest mentioned above. I’m just glad I planned to see it surrounded by friends.

The idea that there’s an escape hatch on reality is so alluring. The idea that all the bad things in your life are the fault of one person, even if they’re a metaphysical entity, is so appealing. The sad reality is that it’s all random and sometimes we just get unlucky streaks.

If only they’d put all the slop under one sub domain!

Why is OP searching for it?

It’s YouTube.

I think a lot of forms of ads are ableist because of this. You are not alone. They’re so distracting. It’s infuriating.

It does do some static stuff but I don’t know if you’d be able to feel that from another room.

CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

And then goes into a weeks-long suicidal despair if you try to leave the conversation? Any way to deal with that?

It’s always easier said than done, but I don’t engage with people who use suicide as a threat or bring it up as a regular thing. It’s too exhausting. Life is just too short to deal with that. Not everybody deserves your nuance. Not everybody deserves your time. Especially if they just want to belittle you by saying they’re suicidal as a defense mechanism.

How exactly are you getting these in the first place? I just tried to share the url but it didn’t do anything odd.
