Haha. I'm working on that too. Finally starting to lose fat.

Time to emulate one of Disneys greatest heros - Captain Jack Sparrow.

I have 32GB in my laptop and it feels like overkill 99% of the time.

Can't wait until they and their families start being threatened with deportation and put on watchlists.

That'll show the Democrats.

Anyone who voted for Trump gets zero empathy from me.

I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn't tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I'll have to be more careful about it. I'm switching to a local fiber provider so I'm leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.

Very true. Now, I need to figure out what I like to do and find groups that do that.

I should check to see if I have MeetUp installed. I don't use Meta products, so that's kinda the go-to I've used.

I see what you mean.

I honestly need to work on slowing down - being more mindful. I have very bad ADHD and even with good medication, I struggle to stop and think before acting.

That definitely doesn't help. The medicine helps but I have not been putting in the work often enough to be less reactive and random.

Also - I've made progress over the past few years in accepting myself. I still want to blame myself 100% for everything though and I still allow my desire to improve to feed the negative self-talk.

I appreciate your response and for reminding me of things that can help.

I appreciate that they're willing to do this.

With it being Idaho (a less liberal version of Utah), I'm not sure it's going to help. I van honestly see a judge saying "it's Gods will."

At this point, if I go back on any dating apps, I'm definitely going to mention that I've had a vasectomy.

It was my body and I'm glad I could make the choice.

I don't regret it at all.

I really do appreciate your response.

I have been limiting myself unconsciously - again - and ended up paying for it. I was so desperate for a friendship that I ignored some reddish flags and attempted to navigate them once they were obviously red.

Those negative voices that tell me I'm not good enough to have friends and that I'm unlovable won.

I didn't mean to upset them so much but I'm glad I did. They were treating me like garbage at times and I am better than that.

Your points regarding the examples of friendship we have are spot on. I was running on a sort of autopilot that was programmed by poor parenting (I'm being generous here) and unrealistic media.

I have a lot of work to do on myself but I know that I can find people that I can bring into my life to some degree that will help me overcome that loneliness and maybe even help each other be better.

I used to use Meetup and I should get back onto it and see what's going on around me.

I definitely want and need to socialize and feel like a part of something that isn't work.

 

I really struggle to make friends and being an adult trying to make friends is even worse than when I was a kid in school.

It appeared that I had made a friend but they turned out to be kinda toxic. I made mistakes too but I never tried to hurt them or manipulate them. They've made me feel like they're embarrassed to know me. Like our friendship had to be a secret.

Now, I finally managed piss them off that they don't want to talk to me anymore. Part of me is glad but part of me feels lonely. Very lonely.

I've been in a long distance relationship for quite some time now and we are waiting for her to finish school next spring before we move in together. It's difficult for me to think that's really going to happen. She reassures me often that it will.

I should be happy with that but nothing beats seeing a friend face-to-face regularly and talking to each other.

I feel sad and lonely and selfish. I don't want to hurt myself but I do kinda wish I was dead.

 

Is there a way to download or otherwise use Brainscape flashcards without paying (imo) high subscription prices for their "brain science"?

I'm going to see what I can do on my own but I'm low skill so any help would be appreciated.

TIA!

 

I bought a pair of hypoallergenic pillows a couple of weeks ago and immediately started having a reaction to them. I washed them and no change.

I looked at what they're made from and I think it might be the Lyocell Tencel in the cover - made from eucalyptus trees.

Everything else about them is the same - afaik - as my other pillows.

Anyone else experience this or know anything about it?

 

I've been lurking here for a while, trying to learn and set up my own stuff. I'm starting off with music. I have a few thousand files in different formats and plenty of duplicates.

I already have an Emby server set up and it works very well.

However, is there a music manager that will help me find and eliminate duplicates?

I'm using Linux Mint and I'm still figuring out how to set up the various users and groups so that the software can access where my music is stored.

I'm thinking Lidarr but - as mentioned - something about setting up users and a media group and doing the permissions is not clicking.

For Emby to work, I've made the music directory a shared location and opened guest access.

Any pointers to step by step guides on any of this would be very helpful as well.
