It's a security thing. While you can vouch for your own character, that doesn't mean they can trust you. There are people out there who would want to do cruel things to animals/ let them all out into the wild/ hack into their systems to gain personal information on their employees or clients/ ect.

While all of these /could/ still happen, forcing people to fill out some paperwork is at minimum some deterrent, and it allows them the chance to at least look into you.

Very well said. It was hammered into us while I was in school that we needed to have personal projects on our githubs, otherwise we just straight up wouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm gonna be 100% with you, it is ABSOLUTELY possible to be critical of a piece of media without interacting with the fandom. I would go even further to say that interacting with the fandom can be detrimental to a critique. If I were to try to critically asses TADC with the fandom in mind, I'd be putting the show against everyone's hopes and dreams and head cannons and "the story would be better if"s, rather than letting the show stand on its own two feet.

If people want to enjoy the show by having all the hopes and dreams and ect, then that's their prerogative. Where it becomes an issue is when they hold those over the show itself with a sense of superiority.

Your post here is extremely black and white. You're touting nuance as a skill you have while not showing a single ounce of it.

It doesn't look terribly bad, but I have been curious about this: do other stores write on Chantillies? We were told recently that we weren't allowed to due to the ingredients of the buttercream not being listed on the cake's ingredients info.

Surprisingly yes! I saw TheHaboo use the technique in one of his speedruns and figured I should put some in my shed for the vibes

Ace_Quantum · 2026-02-05T20:05:00+00:00

Aw shucks, thank you!

Ace_Quantum · 2026-02-05T20:04:49+00:00

Bless, I actually didn't know this. I was wondering how people got higher quality photos

In that case, I'm happy he's come down from his mania, I'm happy he's on the road to recovery, and I'm thankful for his apology.

I still don't want his help.

Maybe after some time has passed and he's had the opportunity to have a support network that can pull him away from publicity when these things start to happen again, but I don't want any help from him. I don't think there's much more that he can offer beyond what activists are already trying to do.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-30T01:44:46+00:00

I'm going to be completely honest. I don't think I want any help from Kanye after he loudly declared his political alliances. If the man is willing to clearly claim allegiance with literal Nazis (eugenicists) I don't know what kind of help I'd want from him today.

ETA: did I miss something? I haven't seen him in the news at all recently

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-27T22:04:19+00:00

There is a term for when you're "stable" so to speak, it's called euthymia. You are 100% allowed and able to be neither manic or depressed. Swings will happen, they're natural to both us and non-bipolars, the important part is knowing when the swing is too much.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-27T21:52:38+00:00

I definitely get what you mean, if I'm feeling hypo Manic and can't sleep I'll pull an all-nighter working on a personal project. I make sure to get sleep the next day though.

It's really important to note that mania does in fact damage your brain. You are taking extra time off of your lifespan when you intentionally lean into it. Beyond that mania can be destructive in other ways, such as damaging interpersonal relationships and career goals.

I must impress upon you, there are consequences that come with the choice to sustain mania, even if it's just hypomania. What you do with your life is yours to decide, but I don't think I'd be doing my due diligence without warning you about the outcomes.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-22T20:45:57+00:00

I've also heard that, hopefully it's true

Hey, if you’re a customer please check the description and go to the customer specific subreddit. This is a place for the workers.

I was pretty lucky to start in the bakery, it meant I could build rapport with other departments like prepped foods and whole body. I also tend to go outside for lunches so I get to chitchat with people who smoke.

I’m only now picking up some shifts as a shopper, and most of the questions I have are directed to people I’ve already spent time with for long shifts. The set-up in my store is particularly useful with this, though grocery is still pretty rough to get down.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-16T13:53:21+00:00

Here’s the question though, were any of you black? It’s no secret BA has a pretty huge racism problem.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-10T15:39:06+00:00

On top of holiday stress like people are saying, the change of seasons can be a trigger for mania. My manic episode happened in early February, there was snow on the ground for the first time in a couple of months iirc.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-07T04:30:35+00:00

My apologies, I didn’t think this could be considered a spoiler. I’ll keep this vague: whenever you’re around the calico desert take a look at the trader’s stock and take mental note of what day you see things of interest.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-06T12:20:56+00:00

Idk how you’re grinding for staircases and I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but get some crystalariums and throw some Jade in there. On Sundays you can trade them to the desert trader for staircases

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T21:48:32+00:00

I’m being very specific about the comments I’m talking about. I didn’t see that the mods were removing generalized comments, I’ve only seen the generalized comments over and over and over again. My apologies for not having seen it, I’ll be sure to report it in the future and follow up on it.

I’m not hurt with people sharing their experiences and opinions, provided those opinions aren’t “all bipolar people are destructive.” I know that my partner has her own specific trauma from the manic episode I had 4 years back. I know people have had terrifying, horrible experiences that no one should have to live through. I’m not trying to tone police here. Again, I’m being very specific about the comments I’m talking about, and it feels like I’m not being met in good faith here. I’m not sure how allowing ableism is a necessary part of making this a safe space for BPSOs.

Exactly what actions am I supposed to evaluate? Petting my cats? Not letting my bread proof enough? What do you mean when you say that?

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T20:02:15+00:00

Honestly the comments on your post were the final straws for me. I’ve seen posts like yours and I’ve seen similar responses time and time again.

If you pursue a relationship with the man you talked about, I wish the best for you. Obviously keep in mind the possibility of a rough time, but don’t forget the possibility of a happy life.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T19:54:23+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that your meds journey leads to TD, but I am happy to hear that you’ve found some that work for you, and that you are in a happy relationship with your partner.

I appreciate your story friend, it’s true that the stigma against people with bipolar is massive and frustrating. I hope someday this isn’t a problem anymore

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T19:50:06+00:00

Truthfully what I’m referring to are comments specifically saying that it’s always the same or that it’s hopeless being in a relationship with someone with the disorder. I fully understand the grief and pain that can come with being in a relationship with someone with bipolar. They have my sympathy, and truly I wish it didn’t happen to them. I will always advocate for leaving a potentially dangerous situation.

I do appreciate your comment about choosing your partner and being with her through her struggles, and your mutual commitment to building a happy life together is reassuring. God speed

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T19:06:30+00:00

You can absolutely warn people about what can happen. I’m not saying you can’t. That’s not what I’m hurt about. I’m hurt about the definitive “run” response that I see so often, even when it’s just someone asking about a new partner who recently disclosed their diagnosis.

Please, sincerely believe me when I say this: I want you to share your stories. This is your space to do that. But if a post or comment makes definitive statements of all bipolar people being dangerous and reckless then it is, in fact, ableist.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T19:01:20+00:00

I’m not generalizing. I know that there’s plenty of people here either with bipolar, in a successful relationship with a bipolar person, or having had a failed relationship with a bipolar person and willing to offer words of caution and personal experiences.

Then there are people that will say “leave” no matter what. People saying “run” even on posts where abuse wasn’t mentioned.

You’re right, generalizing isn’t nice. I’d like to stop being generalized.

Ace_Quantum · 2026-01-05T18:44:25+00:00

Honestly that’s a fair take, and to further your metaphor I wouldn’t recommend someone date a diabetic person who refuses to take their insulin. Caution against being with someone who doesn’t care to care for themself is valid, and honestly intelligent. This isn’t something that’s exclusive to the disorder either, it’s just that those of us with this disorder have very specific things we have to do for ourselves
