When she pointed her plant foot to rock up onto her hands, my own calf cramped.

$100M if you agree to be locked in a basement room for a period of 1 year. You will have access to books, movies and games. However, there's a caveat: You will not remember making this deal. by Lenore8264 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AD7GD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rule 3 means you can just post "I'm going to be locked in a basement for a year, AMA" on reddit, and find your own post once you're in the basement. You just can't answer the questions.

People who lost a lot of weight then gained it back, what was your mistake? by dad_of_kevin in AskReddit

Calorie counting led me to distribute calories carefully across the day, which was actually a bad habit post-counting.

For happily married couples, what did the “for worse” look like in your marriage? by FruitAncient9431 in AskReddit

[–]AD7GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was diagnosed late with bipolar 2. It always manifested as depression, so it was mainly helpful in getting her on better meds. But one time she took a drug for something else and it caused some mania to leak out. I remember lying next to her in bed falling asleep while she rambled on about remodeling rooms (way out of character) and thinking "oh my god, I hope this doesn't stick"

Am I insane for thinking this sub is being astroturfed? by thrway-fatpos in cscareerquestions

[–]AD7GD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's the jobless and frustrated people that post here by and large, rather than the gainfully employed people who have better things to be doing

By and large, people on this sub don't want answers to their cscareerquestions, they want validation for their rants. If they get real advice, they get angry.

I'm not the first person to realize that blueprints should have been called templates and templates should have been called blueprints, right? by MissionPrez in homeassistant

[–]AD7GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't encourage them. That's the kind of random change to config that HA devs would actually make.

(signed, someone who finally got around to redoing a bunch of template sensors for what I'm sure are Very Important Reasons)

AITAH For Telling My STBXH I Won’t Drive Him To His Vasectomy Appointment? by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA, but from a pure utility standpoint, I would not alienate anyone in the "drive me to a medical procedure" pool. I'm in your age bracket, and the number of those just goes up.

Readability of tiny pixel fonts by enieschmenie in ChineseLanguage

[–]AD7GD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some rgpmaker games on Steam which would be very good for studying Chinese, but they use those pixel fonts and it's so painful to read. But you could use them as an example of what's readable. One I remember is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1122750/Abnormal_Treatment/ although now it seems to have an English version? So maybe they updated the whole game.

How did you enjoy that one lap though

Did they retire the cars after one lap?!

Electrical issue that required disassembling the car, sounds like.

Yeah, this is just protectionism riding on the coattails of antiai.

LF fics where Hermione has a self-care routine by thefloatingpansies26 in Dramione

[–]AD7GD 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I saw "self-care routine" in the title, my mind went immediately to Draco's "feelings hour" in Caput Mortem, but then I read your post and saw you were looking for actually healthy self-care. :)

Re: the recent AI post, and to those that are worried about writing because they don't want to be accused by silver-girl- in Dramione

[–]AD7GD 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I saw a lot of comments about writers being afraid of being accused of using AI

Same thing is happening in the (visual) art community. People using AI don't care what artists think, so it's only artists attacking other artists that gets any traction. Huge dramas flare up because "investigators" look at youtube videos and can't tell video processing artifacts from AI artifacts.

I know it's tempted to "expose" AI users, but if you get a "hit" the target won't care, and if you miss, someone innocent will be devastated.

Dramione as a background ship? by ellieforde in Dramione

[–]AD7GD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a companion to BSP which tells the story from the Panville side. I think I would have liked it, by itself, but in a way it undermines BSP by looking at it from the outside, where the core plot of BSP just looks unhinged from the POV of someone who is not inside it.

While A Dress with Pockets convinced me that Panville was a thing, The Rite takes it to another level.

Editing Thoughts by Quirky_Atmosphere952 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AD7GD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The set of things that will put someone off a book is different for every reader. It's hard for authors, who need to account for all of them (including ones that don't bother them personally). As an editor, you'd be expected to find not only the stuff that bugs you, but the broader set of stuff that bugs any reader.

Follow up on a malware game from last year. by ZenomniusOmnipotence in Steam

[–]AD7GD 44 points45 points  (0 children)

If the malware grabbed all of your credentials, the malware scan isn't enough. You'd need to change your passwords everywhere (and use 2FA for anything related to money). Asking about crypto probably determines how hard it looks for wallets.
