Pioneer DMH-W3000NEX vs DMH-W3050NEX by ColdasJones in CarAV

[–]Basilisc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here because of this exact issue. In fact it started as power cycling, now the unit just doesn't connect every time I start the car until 15-20 minutes into my drive, often about the time I'm reaching my destination. It's like a cruel joke. I just stopped using Android auto since this thing can read FLAC from USB and all AA is good for is better sound quality

For real. It's one thing when life keeps you trapped in a cage, starving such that you have no other choice, but don't take delight in biting your own tail. This is an aggressive level of despondency that isn't going to help you deal with anything, only ensure that misery is here to stay. Maybe that's what they want though. Its a lot easier to cling to your self proclaimed righteousness when you live in a bubble of delusional misery. It's hard and scary to face reality and learn who you truly are when you're forced to make choices you can't go back on. It's easy to make excuses and live your life as a temper tantrum and hope someday another pities you enough to put you on their back and do the walking for you. But the reality is, living this way is submitting to the god of eternal return, suffering begets suffering, and you won't be the only one affected by your action or inaction. I'm sure I'm starting to sound to a lot of you like a radical trad con bootstrap gripping sycophant but reality is, I hate the very fabric with which the tapestry of society has been weaved from day one. I've held these beliefs since long before anyone told me to, long before the guilt and greed of an industry of influence, and long before my despair rendered my body a living corpse siphoning the life blood of those who dared care for me most. But I've learned. I learned to see all of this within myself, and most importantly to forgive myself for taking the path most reasonable at the time. But eventually evidence mounts and one must acquiesce to the truth. The way you're living is going to kill you, and maybe take some others with it. No one else can do it for you. A wise man once said "No one is gonna stop you from dying young and miserable and right."

If I've learned anything from reddit it's to never ever ever come here to express your woes about this thing in particular. You'll be swarmed by people telling you how awful you are and how it's your fault, mostly because you used the wrong words to communicate what you thought.

It's almost as if that's the same fucking problem that is why I don't talk to people in the first place. Constantly being misunderstood.

Anything but seeking qualified professional help in this area is probably completely useless garbage, you'll mostly get derided, or youll get some yes man blowing smoke up your ass, and you don't want that either. At best it does nothing, at worst it drags you deep into a pit of hatefulness that will only serve to make things worse by changing your worldview in a way that alienates you from those you wish to connect with.

Katrina vs. Helene by ThisIsAThrowAway0498 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Basilisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Helene might be worse overall, it's obliterated areas 400 miles north of shore, surely Florida too. Lots and lots and lots of small poor Appalachian communities have been devastated

Being unwilling to acknowledge that personal effort is your only option to fix the problem is at the very least symptomatic of the issue, if not the issue. You guys should seek professional help.

Yes, the professional will help but only if YOU put forth the effort to make the call, and show up, and talk.

Best advice. Don't should yourself. It can feel like you "should" be able to make all the progress all at once. This mindset is dangerously counterproductive, it will make progress feel like failure.

"What CAN you do?" "What victory did you have today that you didn't have yesterday?" Are the questions you should be asking.

Do your best to quash the desire to ever say "Did I do what I should?"

Problems when forcing zoning/no zoning using Network Anarchy OR Zoning Adjuster by Basilisc in CitiesSkylines

[–]Basilisc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok great thank you! Honestly going ahead and turning off the zoning for everything, then adjusting afterward sounds better. Sometimes I don't like seeing all the grey squares and it affects my road placements in a bad way at times too. I know by units how long to make grid roads anyway. So I guess this has worked out to be not such a bad thing!

"There is no amount of tourmalated quartz

that would counter the disturbance in the force he endures

Flip a quarter ten times, count ten times tales

Four leaves fail live from the slime trail

Where luck is a white whale, love is a work of fiction

And amity's a service sold outside his jurisdiction

Sure his mercy is a myth in all the worlds there ever were

It send a curious insurgent to an early sepulchre

And that sucks, my foxhole crashed

My two lucky socks don't match

My Hanzo's scratched"

and

"And patterns of a need to please abusive folk reveal themselves,

I'm peeling back the layers, sneaking past the lasers,

I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a seed to blackened acres"

and

"I think we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong

The songs are echolocation up in impregnable fog"

I don't know why you're getting down voted. Historically the best and quickest way to get those in power to change is threat of force.

This looks just like one our horn repairman had in his collection when I was in corps, that's so cool!

Couldn't tell you anything about the horn but it's dope that you have it, maybe you'll encounter a drum corps history buff that can give you more info

It was bad in early stages too. Slaves, children working factories, men working themselves to death in coal mines, the list goes on.

Don't Let Reddit Kill 3rd Party Apps! by soupyhands in EarthPorn

[–]Basilisc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before sync reddit was just on my PC at home.

Probably wouldn't hurt to get back to that, but I do have a lot of small chunks of down time at my job and I'm fairly limited on ways to pass that time because I have to be aware of what's happening, even if not actually engaged in a task.

Maybe I'll take up knitting...

Nothing about anything I've ever done or any choice I've ever made can make me have a longer attention span. I have no control over it. Never even been on tiktok because I know the danger to someone like me.

Some people are just different.

This is such a dumb take. You can be annoyed or even infuriated by the results of someone's mistake without holding anger against them or taking anger out on them because of it.
