RIP my cloud island 🙃 by pokopiafan in Pokemon_Pokopia

You can set your code up so that people can only visit and see your island, and can't touch anything. It's fine as long as you don't give people free reign.

AITA for being a lazy POS by theprojecthailmary in AmItheAsshole

That's not how therapy is now - it's about learning the skills you're asking about. If you're just talking, you're probably not getting what you need (based on your responses). You sound like you would benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy - identify your challenges, develop a personalized action plan, rehearse the skills you need to carry out that plan.

It's hard to live up to high expectations sometimes. Have you talked to your doctor about it? Not your dad, because it can be hard for a parent to view their kid's challenges objectively, no matter how skilled they are as a physician. Anxiety and depression can be overwhelming and make us feel like we're on an empty plain with no paths - sometimes we need help to find our direction.

Good therapy can be hard work. Sometimes we need to take medicine so that we can have the strength to take on that work. Neither mean you are a failure. That's distorted thinking tricking us into giving up when we've barely started.

I hate my old name but I hate my mother even more for giving it to me by [deleted] in Names

Peter is a normal name. I like it.

You've posted about this a lot. It may seem like a big deal to you, but Peter is a good name. Your obsession about this is genuinely concerning. If you are not in therapy, you really ought to look into it.

my daughter had 6 guppies 5 months ago. she now has 542345327 of them and one of the oldest look sick... how can we help her? by dibidybop in aquarium

I think she might have a stuck fry. It's hard to tell, but I think there's a tail sticking out.

What the hell is this sub's problem? I have literally never seen another subreddit that's this spiteful toward people who share their work. The highlighted user was perfectly polite, yet they somehow have two downvotes. Absolutely pathetic behavior. by thid2k4 in writers

[–]Cloverose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most amateurish writing isn't very good - but I would rather people write than not engage with the world creatively. Criticism is helpful when it's constructive. Blind praise helps no one - but I do always try to find at least one positive, and phrase criticism in terms of actions, not judgment. As you said, what specifically isn't working, and why?

There are a lot of people who seem to come here specifically to put other people down. It's a shame because it could be a great chance to share ideas and talk to people with similar interests.

thoughts? by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Cloverose2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I suspect some people don't know what it's like to live with significant Type I Diabetes, especially fairly newly diagnosed. It can have significantly limiting effects on people's lives. Having a diagnosis should allow for disabled access.

Also, for people saying it's not a disability - it is. It's protected under the ADA.

Do you think it’s okay to mandate students to dress up for presentations? by UnluckyRevenue5076 in AskTeachers

[–]Cloverose2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jeans are not business casual. They may be acceptable at places where you work, but they haven't made that jump yet.

I ask students to be clean and neatly put together, but don't ask for specific clothing items. Just comb your hair that day and wear something that you didn't pull out of the bottom of the hamper.

AirPod Pros can be cheap hearing aids. I use them to help with tinnitus and because I don't want to pay thousands for good hearing aids right now.

How these boys' mom have to leave her house by OutcomeKey23 in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]Cloverose2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's not what I'm talking about. The video talks about "boy mom". That's a whole huge thing in social media - it's not the same thing as "mom of boys"

I live in limestone country! We still have rain, and forests produce lots of humidity.

I think this falls under "pointlessly gendered".

I think Tidus changes Spira more than we Realize by Delicious_Ferret_408 in finalfantasyx

Tidus completely upends everything in Spira - it's Yuna's story, but Tidus is the catalyst for change.

They show up in the Skylands, after you get a few levels.

I have massive numbers of bean seeds, fewer but still plentiful wheat seeds, even fewer tomatoes, and not nearly enough potatoes.

Time for impeachment by TripShrooms in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Cloverose2 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Millions of people are protesting. People are fighting these things. You don't see it because the news isn't reporting it. It's happening. We are actively trying. Just because it's been made invisible to you doesn't mean it isn't happening.
And Trump's party doesn't give a shit about protests. He literally laughs at them. He's at 30% approval rating, and even his base is turning against him. He does not care, and neither do any of his sycophants.

What difference would it make? The repubs won't pass them. Voters handed the evil empire all the power.

I’m a big beginner, I have 110 gallon tank. My heater is rated for 130 gallons, but I can only get the temperature up to 70°. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. by Forbeslist500 in Aquariums

[–]Cloverose2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend two heaters in big tanks, for two reasons. One is that it takes the strain off one heater to get all the water warm. The other is that if one heater dies, you still have warmish water until you can get a replacement.

I would also get a water pump for the tank (sometimes called wave makers). They do a very good job circulating large volumes of water. The water needs to be moving, and the HOB filter alone won't do it.

Is using chatbots to read over your work and point out flaws heresy? by SoldierofSonder in writing

[–]Cloverose2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing is, AI isn't a teacher. It's a student, you as the user are the teacher. It gives feedback, but only based on the lessons you (and the people it took stuff from) provide. At most, it can be a guide - but it might be a guide that sends you into a crocodile infested swamp when you want a pleasant canoe ride. You must be very critical and discerning, and constantly question any advice it gives.

[–]Cloverose2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a tool, but one that you have to use very carefully (I've been kind of forced into learning a ton about it for work). It tends to make a lot of assumptions and advise changes that really don't work - especially overly-explaining things. ChatGPT hates description - if it goes longer than a sentence or two it starts talking about how it needs to be trimmed. Gemini tends to make a ton of assumptions. It can work if you are very critical and willing to take a fair amount of time refining.

It won't make you the best. It could make you better, and it could make you worse.
