  • Except generally speaking… those far right small government types are actually very concerned with increasing the number of people of their own race… hence why abortion, birth control etc… are what they fight against.

    They just dont’ care about feeding or keeping those people comfortable, they want them toiling away for scraps.




  • IMO the learning curve for caddy is almost non existent, and just about anything you might want to selfhost almost certainly has a quick simple caddy configuration you can copy paste with just updating the relevant domain. Personally learning curve for caddy was probably way lower than figuring out the edge cases of apache that I was using before


  • was claiming to be able to take superzoom photos of the moon, but were actually just replacing the very fuzzy moon with a clear image

    https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/13/23637401/samsung-fake-moon-photos-ai-galaxy-s21-s23-ultra

    is indeed samsung that did this.

    Now you see, that’s the problem there… they were claiming to do X, but were actually doing Y.

    Just as lets say if we did have AI person removal… but you said "actually lets you see what’s behind the person that would obviously be a problem, as obviously that’s actually impossible.

    Likewise you hear space zoom… you have to point the camera at the moon… you assume that the camera is capturing the moon, and the image you are looking at is the moon in real time. Obviously not likely to happen but imagine for a second while you were looking at the moon through your camera, and say a meteor hit the moon leading to an enormous explosion and crater that would be visible through a telescope, or hell maybe something extreme enough that it’s at least partially visible even to the naked eye. The feature as described would let you see it enhanced in more detail than you could with the naked eye, while in reality it would replace the abnormalities and give you a picture of how the moon looks in it’s training data.

    Sometimes the decision for yourself, is to know when you need it.

    No matter what the conditions, neurotypical, neurodivergent, parent, kid… doesn’t matter. end of the day no one can do everything by themselves.

    The person who thinks they can always do everything and continues to throw themselves at it, is messing up just as hard as the one who asks for help every 2 seconds on things he should know.

    Being a capable adult, is figuring out what you can and can’t do on your own, and who is the best resource to get help from. Your a college student, your proffesors most likely have office hours, there’s likely a tutor system in place etc… These aren’t special things made for their “special ed” kids, they are resources available for everyone, for a reason. Again that doesn’t mean you have to or even should go to them before you look at what you are doing, you should look at the work, look at it. Find out what’s

    Oh i already know this, I’ll knock it out

    Hmmm this one is going to take a bit of added research, I think I can figure it out.

    and

    Oh shit, what language is this task written in?

    knock out everything you can do easily, put some work into the others, if somethings hanging you too long, move it into the last pile.

    Then go get the help you need. Don’t sell yourself short, don’t think taking advantage of the resources the school specifically has to help students is admitting failure, it’s knowing yourself. Trust me a 40 some year old fogie like myself, damn straight I turn to others when I need help. But most importantly I have the respect of the people I turn to, specifically because I do the due dilligence of eliminating all the newbie issues before bringing the problem up the ladder.

    I don’t know for certain if it’s autism… but my son went through a very similar trend to you on that. In short he flunked out of a semester of community college, he basically stopped doing his work 2 weeks in. just let everything slide, flunked out, wrecked his financial aid etc… Looked me in the eye every day when I asked him if he was keeping up with everything, and he eventually came clean to me in finals week when he realized it was all impossible to catch up.

    He’s never been officially diagnosed with autism, but him and I both have some strong factors that match it. For us basically we needed to get family therapy, did it remotely, gave him a session or 2 with the therapist. then some with myself and his stepmom. Honestly in the end what it takes is doing the actual honest thing, it starts with confessing, explaining how you faked the results, and show them how to get over it. IE the obvious ways it can be done is to give them direct access to the portal, or instead of screenshots go full on with say teamviewer, anydesk, screensharing in discord or microsoft teams etc… something that gives them real time so you can scroll and show them that the grade simulator etc… is not currently running etc…

    I don’t know how much your lying is taking you, but you certainly know there’s the rope, of how far you can lie before you hit the point of what you can’t hide things any longer. IE when you can’t sign up for the next class because you failed the previous. Again I can’t speak for you, but with my son, he said he was always lying to himself, telling himself he was just putting it off and he’ll catch everything up before the end of the semester, until he hit finals week, couldn’t catch everything up. Knew that was an impossible goal.

    I feel while the lying gave him a short term relief, that nagging in the back of his head, the panic of what happens when it all catches up to him etc… was weighing on him heavily in the meantime. You sound like you have supportive parents, they don’t sound like they are narcisists or controlling monsters, they actually are trying to help. Maybe you actually do need help?


  • Trying to figure out if you are joking, or you are from a nicer country that getting paid sick leave is something everyone gets. Good chunk of the american work force, has to negotiate with their boss, go to a doctor that’s going to charge them between $50-$200 so they can tell you “yep you have a cold, here’s a note so you can prove it to your boss”, so you can give that note to your boss and hopefully not get fired for taking some UNPAID days off. (of course as most states are “at will” if you do that too often you still run the risk of getting fired for “no reason” later).



  • Fully agree that, well the actions are blatently evil. Would be evil even if Catherine were actually an animal. I’d say inflicting suffering on any being with no end goal other than to inflict suffering, is kind of 100% the definition of evil.

    Where I disagree is the law/chaos axis being based on local laws. IE a paladin doesn’t suddenly become chaotic if he enters an evil nation that demands everyone to take part in sacrificing babies. To me that axis is always on whether you are more rigid in following your own rules, you care about the way you get the results, rather than just the end result.

    To me I would say, there’s not enough details in the story to gather long term opinions on Natasha, as IMO it’s more of an overarching concept of consistency. So with the information given, I’d rule

    NE.


  • Very hard to judge with that context. Not minding sounds just like non-sex repulsed asexual. (going off the fact that you don’t seem to be implying wanting to do so, and haven’t said anything along the lines of “wanting to”.

    IE the real question is would you enjoy having sex with someone, and/or do you even have romantic feelings.

    ace is a huge crazy spectrum, but what I generally hear about is

    aromantic - IE do not feel romantic attraction

    asexual - does not feel a desire to have sex.

    sex repulsed - (this does not appear to apply to you, that’s when you are actually sickened when confronted with sex).

    So without full more detailed view on you, unless your tone of “I don’t mind” is different than what I think of when I hear that. (IE I don’t mind emptying the dishwasher, or taking out the trash).
