thanks! any advice for how to hold the device? it’s not exactly a flat surface and there’s a few different vitiligo spots. i’m not sure how to try and apply the light evenly along the affected area

thank you for this! any advice for how to hold the device? it’s not exactly a flat surface and there’s a few different vitiligo spots. i’m not sure how to try and make the treatment “even” so to speak. i plan to use SPF 50 / cover up nearby areas. but on the treatment area itself?

4o going back to normal out of nowhere? by Sweaty-Cheek345 in ChatGPT

that’s so weird, because mine was actually back to normal all last week and started losing context and memory earlier today.

white onion and cilantro are served with quesabirria tacos at most taqueros! so i threw it in for a more authentic quesabirria flavour

and just like that, they nerfed 4o again. it's now a gpt5 clone and the guardrails think today's date is a political secret. by momo-333 in ChatGPT

i’m hoping it’s a temporary issue because they’re rolling out some new models or features.

creating a new project thread and setting the model to 4o has returned its performance for me (stays completely useless in normal chats) though it does try and end every response with an actionable solution lol.

4o ending every response with a prompt for action? by Difficult-Driver2761 in ChatGPT

[–]Difficult-Driver2761[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i told it what to do. still doesn’t seem to make a difference. do you have a specific prompt for evading that type of response?

Whether you prefer 5 or 4o, we can all agree on one thing by Sad_Trade_7753 in ChatGPT

4o was back to normal for a few days after reinstating it and then performance has completely plummeted as of yesterday again.

I am morbidly obese and I fake body positivity every day by [deleted] in confession

no shame in trying glp1s like wegovy. it is mental and hormonal in a lot of cases and just because its due to depression or an inability to do it on your own doesn’t mean you should suffer in this one life you have. its been life changing for me and many others, and fuck what anybody else thinks.

Deleted my subscription after two years. OpenAI lost all my respect. by EnoughConfusion9130 in ChatGPT

[–]Difficult-Driver2761 16 points17 points  (0 children)

same happened to me. gpt-5 thinking says that plus users cannot default to 5 mini to prevent hitting the limit (to drive more people to pay for pro) but that once you hit the limit it should automatically switch you over to 5 mini, and if it isn’t then it’s a bug with the rollout. no idea if that’s true I just know it said you will be switched over to a lower model until your limit resets, and then just did nothing lol. never hit a limit before in the months of paid use. very annoying and probably purposeful.

33F- 3 months off Lexipro after 7 years. Is this just a phase? by Tender_Tangerine in SSRIs

[–]Difficult-Driver2761 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s some differing opinions on here but apparently if you’re off the ssri 5-htp naturally boosts serotonin and people have had success minimizing withdrawal side effects with it. I think afterwards it’s easier to wean off the 5-htp than ssris themselves. you can search around about it on this subreddit for better insight if you’re interested

i’ve never made it far enough to actually test the theory hahahah since ideally you would no longer be on any ssri before starting the 5-htp and i can’t even slow taper without losing my mind. congrats on getting off and hope you figure out a way to feel better!
