  • Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution.

  • I can second the white noise. I fall asleep to a mix of rain, wind and rolling thunder pretty much every night. It probably takes about half the time it used to now that I do it as a habit.

  • What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?

    Jump

  • Not sure if this applies, but “You can never love someone else until you love yourself” was a lesson my dad taught me from a very young age.

    If you don’t like yourself, you’ll almost inevitably end up with someone who is taking advantage because you won’t be able to stand up for yourself and you won’t speak up when they hurt you.

    There are the very rare exceptions, but they are the ones who help you help yourself. Someone who truly helps you will not shower you with gifts or compliments, but rather will help you recognize and change what you don’t like about yourself. In other words, “Only a true friend would be that truly honest.”

  • ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services

    Jump

  • For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

  • I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

    I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

    If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

  • I’ve actually been in a couple of the exhibits from the artist who makes rooms like these. They’re super surreal and even though the rooms are only a few square feet, they feel absolutely massive.

  • I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.

    Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!

    I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.

    People with Autism Spectrum Disorder Could Interact More Easily with a Robot than with a Human - Reasons and Limits

    Jump

  • I think something important about this is that I sometimes phrase something poorly on a first attempt. With a robot, you can tell it to ignore the original massage and rephrase it until you make your point accurately.

    With people, once you say something, they will attach that context no matter what even if you need to retry again a couple times to get the right point across.

    I didn’t have this realization until the Edit option in modern chat AIs.

  • How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

    Jump

  • To add to this, the opposite of love is not hate, but ignore.

    Giving your energy and attention to hating something typically means that they occupy enough mental real estate in your day to day life that you feel the need to broadcast it on a regular basis.

    The liberals I know tend to spend the majority of their free time focusing on improving themselves and the world around them rather than simply target blame somewhere else.

    Finding out why the printer needs yellow ink

  • This is why you should use a very unique typewriter model so the extra on Law & Order gets to play the local typewriter shop salesman that can instantly identify the typeface.

  • What's the most fucked up movie you ever watched?

    Jump

  • Old Boy is a movie that constantly has you on edge because you can tell something is going horribly wrong, but you’re not sure what it is. Once you find out, the whole thing is fucked six ways to Sunday.

    Okay, it’s revealed the Earth is flat and all of our modern science is a coverup. How does this affect me in my day to day life? I still have to go to work tomorrow.

  • What do you personally use AI for?

    Jump

  • I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.

    I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.

    I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.

  • What was your most recent dream?

    Jump

  • I had ended up in Japan, but without any luggage, ID, passport, etc. All I had was my phone. I’m pretty sure I was with my high school band and one of my coworkers was on the trip to, but I had lost the group. I tried calling multiple people but couldn’t because my phone was from the US. I was really worried I wouldn’t make it back home and that I would get stuck there.

  • I have a fun time with the Rockstar Launcher for RDR2. It’s a 50/50 chance it will actually launch properly. The other half of the time, it tells me I don’t have access rights to the game.

    Thanks, DRM!
