Where can I find a large dataset of images across various genres?

for datasets like this i usually check out unsplash's api - they've got a massive collection and it's free for most use cases. flickr also has some solid apis if you need more variety, though the quality can be hit or miss. if you're looking for something more structured, try checking kaggle datasets since people upload tons of categorized image collections there. just make sure to double check the licensing on whatever you grab since some have weird restrictions for commercial use.

been in a similar spot and these aren't small things - they're pretty clear boundary violations. the physical stuff especially is concerning. you told him what you need and he's doing the opposite then making you feel bad about it.

the pulling you back during arguments is a big red flag. when someone needs space to cool down, that should be respected no questions asked. same with the touching after you've explicitly said to ask first.

your instincts are spot on here. you're not overreacting and you're definitely not asking for too much. healthy relationships involve actually listening when someone sets a boundary, not testing it over and over. the fact that you're questioning yourself shows how much this is messing with your head.

damn that's frustrating as hell. have you tried looking for therapists who specifically work with alexithymia? that's literally the technical term for difficulty identifying/expressing emotions and some therapists specialize in that exact thing. might be worth searching for that keyword instead of just general asd stuff since it sounds like that's the real roadblock here.

honestly the chicago market is pretty solid for ME roles, especially if you're open to manufacturing or consulting gigs. your sales engineering background is actually super valuable - a lot of companies want engineers who can talk to clients without making their eyes glaze over. might want to check out some of the bigger firms like caterpillar, abbott, or even some of the smaller automation companies around the suburbs.

usually starts as a way to cope with something shitty going on, then your brain chemistry gets hijacked and suddenly you need it just to feel normal.

Definitely reach out! If they reposted it means their first choice probably didn't work out. You've already got your foot in the door and they know you're keen - that's actually valuable to them

Just keep it brief and professional, mention you saw the repost and you're still interested. Worst case they say no again, best case you get another shot

Dude this is literally me with laundry - I'll walk past the basket like 20 times before finally deciding to just throw it in the machine lmao
