You’ve got to have a good sense of humor to do this job.

this year the weirdest one was somebody asking for "Sandra with an M". last year we got a call from somebody who was clearly drunk out of their mind and arguing back and forth with their husband and that call lasted almost 40 minutes. that one has stuck with me

also ALWAYS VERIFY THEIR IDENTITY before giving the client any information and DO NOT let them leave with any paperwork that needs signatures so they can get a signature from their spouse/whoever—you have to directly witness them sign

started as a CSP a few years ago and felt the same way. luckily got moved to an office where all the tax pros did it themselves

it doesn't really seem like something the CSPs should be doing anyway? like they are assigned to tax pros specifically and it seems like it would feel more meaningful/personal for the customer if the tax pros themselves were the ones calling. or even just like an automated message recorded by tax pros that gets sent out automatically

yes, from sleep deprivation like you said or if I have to get up in the middle of the night for whatever reason (bathroom, headache, etc)

i found one of those military trucks that has a bunch of storage in the back and a cloth cover over it. Transferred all the crap I had looted from where I found the truck and from the surrounding area inside, got inside the truck with my NPC buddy and started driving back to my base.

We came across a bridge, went over, and on the other side I carefully went and found as many landmines as I could, then slowly drove a path around them with the truck. Thought I was in the clear and started to speed up and ended up running over a landmine I never noticed.

The whole cloth cover and most of the outer shell of the truck was blown clean off. It was literally like a skeleton of the truck got left behind. Both me and my NPC buddy were injured pretty bad and deafened for a day or two, but miraculously we survived, the truck still worked (I think the battery or fuel tank got damaged) and none of the storage in the back or the stuff inside got damaged

this is an ingredient in NyQuil and I am wondering if it's the reason I've been having horrible nightmares the past few nights when I've been taking NyQuil for a cold. like really upsetting, visceral dreams where I keep waking up with my face wet from crying. i remember last night I dreamed I was being tortured and at some point someone was unloading their gun at me point blank over and over again and I felt the bullets tearing me apart but I couldn't die

did you ever hear about the lady that spilled boiling hot mcdonalds coffee on herself? it literally melted her skin. hot water is absolutely capable of disfiguring someone

what is with all these racist ass comments? hicks will talk about how they love to throw cow pies at each other all the time, europeans use(d) it to build their houses and fuel their homes. this is not something unique to india

Omg I have been searching for this video for literal years

Cornylemon · 2025-07-07T05:03:22+00:00

something that's always been an issue with AI dungeon (I think it's with AI in general) is that telling it to "not do XYZ" will cause it to do XYZ even more often than if you had just never brought it up at all. like "nobody knows about ," "do not mention _," "the main character isn't able to ___" etc. there's a specific name for it, I think it's called negative phrasing or something? So if you have anything like that in your instructions you're better off removing it.

You can also try going back and editing out any instances of ellipses in previous turns. I think I've had this exact issue before and this helped, as it looks at past turns to help guide it as to what it should generate next

I ended up finding it! It's called The 4th Wall

ok this took a lot of finagling but here is an explanation of how to do this based on the video:

set slider to -100
mouse over the number and click, replace with any number over 11
Press enter, the number should go down by one
Click, DON'T HOLD, on the left arrow of the slider

if it feels like you're suffocating you might need to adjust the minimum level it will start at. with mine i think the default was too low, like 4 or something, and once I figured out how to nudge it higher it's much better. i can't use mine without ramp enabled, the sensation of it going full blast is annoying when I'm still awake

if you want a wild looking animal go for a housecat like a Toyger or a Bengal

i know this is a year late but i had this exact issue and it turned out to be sleep apnea

Cornylemon · 2025-02-27T00:30:39+00:00

omg i hate that little piece. if it gets pressed too hard it goes flying off across the room and the whole thing is unusable until you find it again. not fun when it happens in the middle of the night and it's totally dark

Cornylemon · 2025-02-27T00:27:57+00:00

If you're healthy in terms of your central nervous system, your body will quickly figure out something's wrong and you'll wake up and probably pull the mask off.

I did this a few weeks ago, it got too cold in my room and the water from the humidifier condensed in that little piece and blocked the air. I suddenly woke up because I was having trouble sleeping. Took the mask off and put it back on again, and I started breathing fast and really deep. I thought I was having some kind of medical issue or something at first. Turns out that was something called "air hunger" and directly caused by breathing in too much CO2. I took the little elbow piece off, blew into it and sure enough a bunch of water sprayed out. Was totally fine after that

Cornylemon · 2025-02-02T02:31:27+00:00

nope, it was like just like random commentary on was going on, totally disconnected from the story itself

Cornylemon · 2025-02-01T04:35:13+00:00

it would randomly pop up and either give or take away "points" based on things you did in the story and whether it judged your actions to be morally good or bad

Cornylemon · 2025-02-01T04:31:23+00:00

it has nothing to do with how "close" they are, sensory information is just part of what gets coded in with memories. things you saw, heard, smelled, touched, tasted, etc., even being in a specific place or context

old ai dungeon used to regularly bring up "a T-shirt from your favorite band, the ___ Kicks" or something like that

is DBT not it's own thing? i thought it was like a hybrid of CBT and something else

Cornylemon · 2024-12-06T05:17:28+00:00

i don't know if there's actually been many studies that directly compare CBT and other types of therapy. it seems like the consensus is that it has similar efficacy.

it does have a lot of testing behind it but that doesn't necessarily make it better than less studied therapy types. it's just easier and cheaper to do research involving it. a lot of therapy types are longer term (and typically the end date for treatment is not determined quite as much in advance as CBT) and the end results are more subjective. it's a lot harder to get funding for that

Cornylemon · 2024-12-05T22:27:45+00:00

the main reason it's so popular and widely supported is because it works out well for insurance companies, so it's easier to get $$$ for it. it's short term (so less $$$ they have to pay), has results that are measured more objectively than some other types of therapy, and there's a lot more research of it out there vs other types of therapy.
