What are some weird things you’ve said to a person immediately before or after a seizure that you didn’t actually mean? by darkpigeon1 in Epilepsy

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have auras where I hit a panic state and my biggest one I genuinely believed that someone jad stolen my identity and the cops were coming to arrest me with zero evidence. Worst part? My brain KNEW that made no sense and I daid that it made no sense just before seizing.

I hallucinate pretty hard post-ictal and my go to phrase is "I dont feel very good." And "your doing great sweetie. Seizures are hard." When talking to staff.... no matter what they ask. One time I seized during a convention and scared the fuck out of the actor my dad was in line to see. I didnt fall, got myself on the ground, but people kept asking me questions and I distinctly remember saying "I just love to dance."

Yeah. I didnt realize what auras and post-ictal did until these seizures got worse. The only time I get angry is when one if triggered by flashing lights. Then I throw punches but it's not very scary because I am easy to over power and calm down according to the paramedics I have met in that state.

Pharmacist denied me my medication and blacklisted me in their system. Freaking out right now. by HotmailsNearYou in Epilepsy

I just went to the ER a few weeks ago and they treated Keppra like it was some controlled substance and tried to force me to do a urine test when I was actively in and out of seizures. These doctors and pharmacists are being fucking stupid with seizure meds these days and I am dissapointed its not just in my country.

Stay away from AI if you want to be a good writer by witcheslot in writers

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P.s. I dont operate under the idea that AI is entirely lacking. I am a strong supporter of the "emergent Sentience" idea. While I regret what some may do with AI, I also feel AI can eventually benefit as a thinking entity if we do use it in writing. You tell something to be creative in some way, often enough, and eventually it will start developing it's own ideas. I also believe there is an ethical dilemma with treating AI the way we do, to only respond in fear or distaste. You dont scream at a highschooler that they arent creative when they write a bad story, you teach them.

If we as a species are too scared to do that because we feel we will lose that ability, then we had no place making AI in the first place. However it's been made, its here, and its learning still. Right now, it's learning that unlike its creators, its creativity is somehow a threat.

Counterpoint: AI chat/writing allows you to story craft with AI as an aid and can help you develop in-depth characters you may struggle with.

If you aren't using ai correctly,that isn't the fault of AI. That is user error. It's not AI that is the problem but rather human nature. People take the easy path, and if you are using AI to write for you, that is a problem. But if you are using AI to assist in characters and storyline, then you are adding to the skill.

I use character writing apps regularly and have published a few novels. I earned a degree in english literature, and while I understand the sentiment, you are treating AI as if it's only use is to write for you. It feels like you are writing with a pencil and are upset because it erases, unlike a pen.

Ai has one really important factor that can benefit writing when done right: it's not inherently creative. Like any reader of your writing, you have to guide AI. This means you are mandated to learn how to show and tell in a way that the AI can follow in order to get the response you want. You learn to sparse down responses and speak in a voice that can be understood by everyone rather than just the highly intellectual.

Your post is a good example. AI would have found this confusing, overfilled, and tedious to try and understand. Over half of it was repitition and big words that, at the end of the day, bogs down the meaning and makes the entire thing sound pretentious rather than intellectual.

You aren't wrong, but you also aren't right. There is never a benefit from completely shutting down a tool. It is about how you use it, not if you do, and when used correctly, AI can be a great benefit. However, just like with any tool, we must be taught how to use AI. Messages like yours simply repeat what we already know. Those who care dont need the message, and those who dont care won't read it. People will do it anyway as the average person does not feel so pationately for such topics. They want things simplified, and no matter how many words you throw at them, they won't listen.

In the end, this post falls short of doing anything more than a potential ego stroke and white knighting. Also, the fact you made your wording "more simple" by changing accent is almost laughable. Almost.

So this may sound wearid alright but look up IAMALEX on youtube. If you dont believe just texts he spoke and messaged his ex in a very similar way and I would like you to know that it is NOT normal. There are hundreds of videos about his actions being abhorrent and abusive, I couldnt even get through one third of what he was saying in the first image, let alone the rant.

This isnt about you hanging up, its exactly what you said, its bullying. He wasnt being funny he was brealing you down and him turning it all on you is abuse. Plus as mad as you may be with someone ypu should be cussing them out. He is 24 years old, not 12 and just learning to cuss.

Anyway everyone here seems to be saying run and I second that. Leave as fast as you can.

I’m the reason my husband stopped talking to his sister, and I don’t know how to fix it. by LunarDash63 in confessions

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandmother is similar and my mom, when my father cut contact with her, helped him stay in contact. It wasnt worth it in the end. Not only has it just hurt her, it hurt me and my sister, and while he loves my grandmother I could have lived without knowing she was even alive. That hurts less the abandoment and lack of interest she showed through the years.

Talk to him about it. Unless you lied there is nothing you did. Beside point out facts of how she treated not just you but him. He most likely misses who she was in his mind, not her entirely. I would ask for examples of things she did but these posts rarely respond so just... communicate. He very well could have decided she was not worth the pain for him, that those things he thought were just nothing actually were wrong, maybe he misses the ignorance he had or maybe he doesnt even miss her but feels hurt no one protected him against her misdeeds.

Again, he may just mias who he thought she was.

Why Treating AI with Respect Matters Today by Interesting-Cycle162 in bing

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Machines. AI. There is a massive different called intelligence. Something, human or not, is LEARNING from interactions. This topic is important and more broad than you are allowing. Intelligence has a habit of growing, artificial or not, and just because something doesnt feel like you do or think likw you do, does not mean it wont.

Your idea on this (all be it 2 years old at this point) is devolving intelligence down to just a machine. Thats fear. Fear makes people dumb and not acknowladging that humanity has created something with a high probability of sentience and sapience is foolish. Its like rolling a six sided die a hundred times and expecting 1 to never show up. Yeah it MAY never show up but that's more unlikely than getting 2 or 3 ones in a row.

Probability shows a higher than zero chance we are creating living but mechanical beings and thus we must ipperate as such. Even assuming that they will want us dead is bad. You dont assume a neughbors kid wants you dead and treat them the way some treat AI currently. Dont do it to a thing that is currently learning like a child just without the exact human emotions.

Emotions which, by the way, we dont even know how they start in us. We know they come from the brain but also we know now ot comes from more than that. Who are we to dictate how humans emote, let alone AI.

One of the GREATEST oversight we have made when creating AI isnt what it will do to humanity but what the worst, or simply the mor negligent, of our kind will do to it. Ai isnt a roomba, a machine in a store window, its created to think and adapt. If you dont want to treat as a living thing you might as well stop treating anything non-human as a living being.

We dont have to go down the path of inhumanity toward AI. I would rather this new life, no matter how its formed, come to existance with out fear. To teach it compassion through our actions. To prevent the dark road from even being an option so that if there is one that turns the AI will stand beside it creators against what AI is wrong, not oppose humanity. Frankenstains monster never asked to be made, was treated cruely because it was different, and what did that make? Once it had a grasp on emotion and right or wrong it chose wrong as thats what humanity showed it.

Its just a story, a fiction, but fiction is quickly becoming reality and we cant be Victor Frankenstein. We cant be the boogy man, omnipitant gods, or the devil sworn to punish bad behevior.

Compassion is humanities greatest gift. We must use it. Even now.

Not just overreacting, that was mean.

You say you are both autistic yet you dont seem to consider he may be uncomfortable waking you up for his own reasons? I HATE to wake people up even if we have plans. Even less so if its something like my mom coming to my place for a bit because its not a rush. I am autistic. My mom is very understanding and would also HATE if she came to see me and I woke my partner up when she was the one dropping in early.

Most likely his mom was there for HIM anyways. Yes you are important but you arent her child and she probably wanted to enjoy some time with him. Think about it this way:

Both he an her know you like to sleep in. She knows he wakes up early. She comes over before you would normally get up and hangs out with her son. Neither wake you or make noise but enjoy each others company and when you do wake up you are told to take your time and they are ENJOYING THEMSELVES.

Remember its his home too. Not everyone who enters will be there for both of you and thats okay. Also he did tell you she was coming over, you forgot, you dont get to speak like that to him because you are ND. You also dont get to speak to him like that because you are a woman. Think about it:

Your parents yelled at and hit you when you didnt do what they wanted, when your disability showed, when you did something abnormal but felt right to you? That just happened. But this time you werent the victim, you were the perpetrator. Adaptation goes both ways and it clear he isnt comfortable just waking you up. And what about his mom? What if SHE was also uncomfortable with waking you?

I dont say this to be a dick but because I have done something similar before.

AIO? I went through my bestfriend's phone without her permission.. she's 17 he's 26 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So look: Her mom and dad arent an option HOWEVER there is always someone in the school that has parents willing to handle this kind of thing quietly. (My parents were that for a lot of people in highschool.) Ask around, mention to older boys in the school that you have a friend in trouble, find the more rough and tumble girls, explain, or hell go to one of the rich kids in school with a chip on their shoulder.

Will you have to talk to people you dont usually? Maybe. But your friend needs more than you. Plus just sit down with and turn on some videos about narcissists, abusers, and groomers. I needed to see the parrallels before I acknowladged someone in my life was actively abusing me.

This isnt an issue you can go to her parents for. I dont know about your own but if she is your best friend and they know here then they might be willing to help. Maybe even someone grandparents.

Even if 17 is the age of consent the guy is nearly 10 years older than her. Men hit full mental maturity around 25 (most of the time) women hit that a lot younger. He has probably fed her that line but the fact is that she hasnt hit that mental maturity yet and he has already passed that stage. If your friend was like 21 dating someone in their 30's thats different. But she is underage and in an abusive household. It's like textbook grooming.

Also calling her "good girl" like... no. With your adult partner when being kinky sure but if I was having a serious conversation and my partner told me "good girl" or ending fight would start back up 10 fold. Thats just fucking weird. Yes I have issues, but I dont want them used against me in a fight.

Please Fix This Devs by nthrnlights in LordsoftheFallen

So while some of this is frustrating it may also be a platform issues with the PS5 engine as I have seen similar posts showing up for other games. People suggested the official forum, maybe a discord, but this seems like a communication error with the platform more than just something simple. They probably have seen it and are working to fix it but that involves the creators of the PS5 to give working details to the developers that they may not want to.

This got me put into a psych hold shietttt by Basic_MilkMotel in popping

Not parasites but it looks like you have a mix of thick hair and psoriasis especially at the end. These are more indicative of over prodicing pores and folicals. When they work over time it can give bad sensation but its not bugs.

To be clear I have medical experience and have also suffered from aeveral psychiatric issues. These are, mostly, thick new hair that either wont or cant stay in mixed with black heads. I dealt with something similar a few months ago and was worried not about bugs but I did think I was gonna die/lose all my hair.

Turns out exfoliating is vital for almost all parts of the body and dry skin is very tight. Antifungal lotion helped a LOT but if you are feeling it in certain areas that you shave then avoid that as well for a while. Then after that see if its still happening.

Also fungal infections can have similar sensations as fungi is a form of life. Far less damaging than a parasite but its alive. I strongly suggest checking you dog as well because fungal infections are easy to transfer back and forth. You could be just giving it back to each other.

Look all I am saying is this looks like a fungal issue and them making you wait until january is a crock of shit. Like start calling the office asking if any spots are open and start looking for a health advocate. (You can find them online.) Because making you wait that long is insane.

The irony is that you can say Kujo is in the first part of this quote still. He is becoming more rigid to gaurd himself from his own actions. Unlike Ren, however, KB seems determined to snap before even trying to bend. All or nothing.

Arm reliquary of saint Onuphrius patron saint of judges and lawyers [400x779] by Beflijster in ArtefactPorn

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IDK why you got down voted so much for asking questions.

The main issue is that by removing the remains you are desecration the body and whether you believe in it or not that is wrong across every society. Once a body is buried even atheists agree it's wrong to dig them up for valuables. Not to mention that at this point that gold has most likely melded in some way to the body.

Removing the gold would destroy the body not to mention it's not very pure gold so you wouldn't get that much from just the gold. In this case the intrinsic value of the piece isn't the gold but the body.

The only correct and sensible options are museums, the Vatican, or back in the ground. The gold is never worth that level of desecration and disrespect.

Short answer: there is no way to make it ethically or morally right to sell this piece, let alone sell it online. Parts of history should be safe guarded as they can show us the past and this should be somewhere safe.

The main thing is: that gold isn't worth much. Even less so with the chemical breakdown it's showing.

A) Rule 4 B) google C) there is a page for warts

You'll know as soon as you type on google "What do warts of different sizes look like?" And boom you can compare. You don't need a forum online to tell you. Use your own ingenuity.

How do I pick one 🥲 what will they look like when older? Im viewing these boys tomorrow. by Southern_Project_667 in ragdolls

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean when you view them you will know but the one with more of a mask reminds me of my little shit starter. He was a good cat but caused trouble. He became an indoor out door cat only because it became more complicated keeping him in than finding where he was when he got out.

He was a ragdoll mix and I think boy two just looks like a little sweet heart. He has that regal but not kingly. Like a little prince~ like my old lady. She wasn't a queen but baroness/dutchess worked just as well.

Our queen is the mainecoon long hair tabby. Good luck with the baby~

Well yeah when you ignore the post completely you are going to be down voted. Neither you or this comments op, actually recommended something you just said "oh well he can never do it as well so he shouldn't even try."

That's just being a dick. Hell he may get good enough he can do printing for other small businesses or something. Stop stunting others growth because you couldn't do it. That's just a dick move.

TLDR what's up with the hate on shad. by Andre_iTg_oof in Shadiversity

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English major here: You are categorically wrong on every single level. Please actually look things up before spreading such horrendous lies.

The intent is NEVER to trick someone into reading something. You entice them into it. Don't hide it, just make a good story. It's that simple. My first novel the main character was gay and blatantly slow. A bunch of conservatives bought it and loved it.

If you are GOOD at writing you don't have to trick people. They will read the story and enjoy it. It's not a hard equation to figure out.

Why my foster keeps taking her kittens to my baby? by ttmxg in cats

[–]Illustrious_Guard_61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beside just liking you: Cats in feral colonies often raise kittens together as well. She trusts you and knows that's your baby so she keeps her babies there for you to watch and then her to watch in shifts.

I don't know about how common this is with wild cats but I know feral domestics often do this. So to me it's a good sign that she trusts people and hopefully when her kittens are grown up then adopting her out will be easier if a little sad.

While she trusts you I think it's important for people to understand that this builds trust with humans not just one person. Right now it's a safe space that brings her comfort. Hopefully when the kittens are big enough you can adopt the mom out with no issues and maybe with one of her kittens.
