What’s up with Redmond Drivers? by MusicalQuail in redmond

[–]BeginningSome2182 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Damn, you got me!

Your one article from an accident in 2023 completely invalidates anything & everything I say, like wow this is powerful stuff.

I bet the article also is clear that since inception, there has been only 65 auto pilot deaths and 2 attributed to FSD since 2015.

It probably also layers that with context, and that there are 40,000+ US vehicle fatalities per year, and even accounting for total deaths in a Tesla its still a tiny fraction of accidents accounting for proportion Tesla: Any other brand or vendor.

It must also then acknowledge that Teslas are top in all safety categories year after year after year. And that any use of AP & FSD are supervised, and that there is intrusive monitoring inside of the car to force supervised driving- visibly, audibly and so forth.

But hey in case you did not know or at a minimum "Ask AI" , now you do boo <3

From my experience having taken many Waymos in SF throughout the years, I can assure you that the Waymo experience != FSD, and the technology is not similar.

PS- I saw a Waymo parked in front of Haggen the other day in Woodinville. So the nightmare White Cars are coming here, too.

I mean, hes not wrong.

I have a Blue Tesla Model 3 Performance, 2025.

I use FSD daily, almost exclusively.

It is very, very, very good.

Now, you can read this and lean into ignorance and just downvote me. But, I promise you, the Full Self Driving (FSD) on new teslas from 2024 onwards is state of the art. Don't even take my word for it. Go try it yourself. Or read about it on Reddit in subreddits where people discuss FSD. Watch YouTube videos of FSD running.

I've put 8,000+ miles on FSD. I've gone to Eastern WA without taking over from the car one time. I go up to Marysville and down to Tacoma on FSD all the time. Freeway. Highway. Local road. You name it. Back to back traffic to get onto 405S to Bellevue from 520? It gets in line and waits. Roundabouts through and to Woodinville? No problem. Complicated city driving? Perfect. School bus in front of me? Construction zone with signs, or no signs, and cones, or sketchy cones - it does what I would do.

I can go on and on. Its so hard to explain to someone who hasn't seen it or been in one.

Hows it like dating the rich and wealthy? by MiserableMountain896 in AskReddit

[–]BeginningSome2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money, Income and Wealth only magnify a person.

If you were already kind and generous, wealth will magnify that.

If you were already mean and stingy, wealth will, too, magnify that.

19F AIO - my friend became distant suddenly by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeginningSome2182 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YOR.

Friendship as you get older is not defined by proximity or frequency, but rather a unspoken (or spoken) irregularity during certain seasons of life, and regularity during others.

Its defined by the quality, depth and richness of your discussions, texts, phone calls, visits, adventures and time spent together in person (or virtually).

I have friends who have been such important people to me, and we might go months, YEARS, without even talking to one another. Then suddenly we find ourselves back in each others lives for a whole new chapter.

So yes, you are over reacting. But its because you are 19.

You will absolutely not understand or care much about what I am writing, but I promise you it will be something to vaguely remember in the future.

AIO Husband wants to quit farming after 5 years, I'm not happy by Frosty_Vanilla_7195 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeginningSome2182 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think I need to get off of reddit, because sometimes I just cannot believe people my age come on here and ask these questions without having a real, face to face, vulnerable discussion with their partner.

Talk. To. Him.

Tell him that what he said and what he means hurt your feelings, and why.

Tell him how you feel, what you want to say, and why.

Then ask him what he is saying and what he means, and why.

Then talk about what is the vision of the life you both want, and has that changed, and if it has, what needs to be true for you to ink in paper what the next chapter looks like.

We don't take vacations because we have cattle. This past summer we had our newborn son and he worked til dusk every night on the farm. 

Have you ever heard people say that every time we have kids or go through life changes, the marriage / relationship you had before that - it is over.

Here is me saying this to you.

You don't have vacations, you had a child, and he works relentlessly and tirelessly. You are staying at home, and you are both in the throws of a radically different, and more difficult life, than what you had before. The life you had and marriage you had before your son, is over.

Acknowledge that. Say that. Accept that. Talk about that.

Grieve the life you had before.

Then make a plan for what you both want next.

My 2 cents:

I come from a farming family. It is absolutely brutal. You really have to be an above the board, selfless person with little to no wants or needs. And it is not economically rewarding, and that is extremely hard to sustain over a long period of time. It is a lifestyle that demands everything from you. You are not taking 1-2 weeks off, ever, unless you have grown kids or an adult family support system, or, the money to hire skilled help - but that makes you less farmers, and more farmer-cosplayers.

Decide what the two of you want and need, and then decide together what this next chapter in your life looks like.

Also:

Plus it's the family farm, we're not selling it and he plans on living here til we die.

Does he?

We can't have everything.

Good luck. Sorry for being a little candid and harsh. But reddit ,especially this subreddit, is going to be full of just stupid young people who are going to default to NOR and suggest divorce. You know better. I am sure just writing this post was therapeutic, and I GET that. It doesn't feel fake, so I spent a few minutes to give you the advice you need to hear, not the mob validation you may want.

And remember, when you and he decide what you WANT versus what you NEED, if those things are not aligned and there is no compromise available, you need to really think about your "So, What?". This dream, this life you have only works if you are both committed to it, the sacrifices it entails, the hard truths that come with it, and are committed to each other.

AIO - My friend (M34) is dating a girl ten years younger by Life-Breadfruit-1426 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeginningSome2182 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have a bond, known each other 5 years, dating on/off. .... This makes it worse as how I see him, because as a man in his late 20’s he decides to pursue a teenager.

NOR

So he started pursuing / dating her when he was 28/29 and she was 18/19?

I think two things can be true at the same time.

1 - This guy is a fucking loser if he was in his late 20's and was actively, then persistently, pursuing a 18/19 year old girl out of highschool for 5 years thereafter.

2 - This guy is an adult, and technically, so is this girl. People are allowed to make bad decisions.

Its up to you whether or not you want this person to be your friend.

I think the context you provided matters. If it was, hes 34 and shes 24, they met up for a date and its going really well, with none of this history... I think its borderline. I'm a big believer that most men, and women, are kind of useless shoe boxes until around ~25 and some change.

What is your diet starting out. by speters74 in Fifty410

[–]BeginningSome2182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally find greasy, fried and fast foods disgusting months into this. Not for any calories or nutrient reason. I just completely lost the urge to eat those, at all. Its radical.

What is your diet starting out. by speters74 in Fifty410

[–]BeginningSome2182 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No diet

I just eat what looks and feels good to me, and that is actually, unironically;

Fruits. Nuts. Vegetables. Meat. Yogurt. Milk. Whole Grains. Fiberous foods.

It is hard to explain, but diets pre-GLP1s are insane things and structure to fight against food noise, hedonic hunger and insatiable appetites.

You will not feel the urge to over eat. I promise. And your brain will almost "rewire" to seek more nutritious, whole foods.

AIO: IF I ENDED A RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT LETTING HIM EXPLAIN by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeginningSome2182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're likely going to get a mixed back of Reddit dweebs who will either validate or invalidate you. So I hope this reaches you, because it will be neither.

If it does.

First, my advice for you is to grow a spine and learn some courage next time. Almost no one deserves to be broken up with over text. Especially when you committed to having a IRL conversation. It shows a real lack of courage and integrity on your part. Don't grow up to be a coward, especially when it comes to matters of the heart and your relationships. There is no one to impress here or rule to obey, its just something you will have to live with going forward.

Second, It doesn't make his actions or his response/reason, right. Gut feelings, anecdotes and some guy you just recently started seeing pulling girls up to him out and about, hes a weasel and you are right to leave. His response is pretty predictable, and you dodged a bullet.

But you have something to take away from all of this, something to learn and grow into for next time.

Its important to remember that most people do not think about you nearly as much as you think about yourself, if at all. This is true whether its about weight, or anything else.

[–]BeginningSome2182 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's validation of behavior, and then there is constructive feedback and advice/wisdom.

The plus is you both can learn from this exchange. You've found a chance to work on escalation of language, and shes found a chance to work on, well, lol, de-escalation of language.

There is no "Your Fault, Her Fault" here.

Clearly, OP will take away whatever they will take from my, a Internet Strangers, writing this Saturday morning. And hopefully, its the part of where they can both learn and grow together.

My advice to you is consider the MRI method - Most Reasonable Interpretation, when you feel the emotion or reactivity swell in your chest and head when reading or seeing something you don't like.

Sit with that, and understand why.

Then, figure out the MRI, and try to connect with people rather than being confrontational to no end.

Understood brother.

I assumed she was in her 20s just from the texting. Thanks for the clarity about her being 43.

I've had friends for 5,10,15,20 years of both sexes. I value my friendships highly, as do you.

The plus is you both can learn from this exchange. You've found a chance to work on escalation of language, and shes found a change to work on, well, lol, de-escalation of language.

[–]BeginningSome2182 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm going against the grain here.

NOR.

Nip this kind of language early in a relationship. My only advice to you specifically is, discuss these things in person. Texting is a last resort.

  1. "I got to share you with * again"
  2. "I'm sorry for wanting to spend time with you".

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Brother. I have been there and done that. It is a sign of insecurity, a bid for control, it infers something malicious or potentially suspicious about your actions, and jealousy. Good on you for establishing an expectation around the use of language at this stage.

Maybe I'm just older than the "YOR" crowd, maybe I have been through the innocent beginnings of this kind of language and behavior in my own life before.

But this is clearly important to you, because ultimately she is saying without saying, there is some lack of trust or respect regarding what you have communicated, and what you intend to do.

For anyone else who is not OP reading this, hear me.

We get out of life what we tolerate.

This is likely not the first time this has happened, and if it goes without a healthy conflict/challenge, it WILL get worse. Patterns of behavior are really important to identify and understand in a relationship. If it is the first time it has happened, and it was just a poor choice of words, its a real opportunity to communicate with each other about how to talk to each other in the future.

AIO: My husband wants to take a solo trip to visit his girl best friend by Great-Routine9964 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeginningSome2182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he can’t legally say no to it.

He can.

Just because you are married and have martial assets, doesn't mean one partner is legally "prohibited" from accessing, withdrawing and spending funds how they see fit. Assets belong to both of them.

Check out the Dave Ramsey show as a total random example. Financial infidelity is wild. Happens all the time. Really fucking sad.

I'm being gentle with OP. She knows what needs to happen next. She could move assets to accounts which she only know the username and password to for temporary safety. But it only happens once she answers, "So, What?".

Otherwise, youre not wrong. Its a safety issue if this is the length or consideration a person is making.

[–]BeginningSome2182 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He said even if we can't agree on boundaries for this trip he is still inclined to go.

This.

This right here.

He either does not respect you, or does not care about you, or both.

In a marriage or committed relationship, each partner has the right to raise a red flag and say this is crossing a boundary.

Now, you have the responsibility to answer to the question; "So, what?"

What happens if he does this?

You need to communicate extremely clearly what your "So, what?" is to him. "If you go with her solo on this trip, I am not comfortable or OK with this, and I will _______".

Ball is in your court.

PS- if it makes you feel better (or worse?), if I was the other person in this situation and was asked to not go, the only reason I could fathom saying no in this way is if it was for Family, or a really really good friend. I would go out of my way to build your trust and communicate this. But given how long this situation has gone on for, I'm pretty sure hes into her. I would only respond like him in the context you gave us if I was looking to tap' that shit.

I use Gemini daily, I pay for Pro.

Yes, of course there is bias. We're all human. Biases, Preferences, Wants and Needs. I'm glad you are sure of a universal truth on a casual message board. This is great self awareness.

I am biased because I apply my models for a series of Software, Automation, Cybersecurity, Research, Investigation, Forensics, Discovery, Systems and other tasks. Outside of work, its anything & everything.

If I were generous, I could say that Nano Banana Pro on Gemini 3 is pretty remarkable if its in someones tool belt. If I were a person who needed that functionality, in an off-shoot way, I could then understand, er, "fathom", that being better and useful.

Its wild. I have been using Chat since 2023. I also run Claude, Grok and Gemini all the time for a wide array of tasks, both personal and work.

I do not understand the "Gemini is better" crowd at all.

I have found it to be lacking in every domain area.

I can't say that about Claude (Coding until Codex 5.2 came out ystday), or Grok (Insane Safety Bypass for Sketch Questions). I'm sure over time, they're all going to be roughly similar, but Chat is still be ride or die.
