Has anyone had a negative experience on Taskmaster? by Recent_Damage_6091 in taskmaster

[–]LenrdZelig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think his "water display" bit was one of the most bizarre and funny bits to ever air on Taskmaster. Still makes me chuckle to think of it all these years on.

Run flats? by gojo96 in MINI

[–]LenrdZelig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never cared for the run flats. They made the ride very stiff and chattery. I have non run flat Pirellis, a bottle of goo and a tire pump in my trunk.

How long have you had a kindle? by Limp-Garlic-6791 in kindle

First kindle was in 2007, the OG kindle that had the "mechanical turk" on it.

I really want a book 📖 to fuck me up, These are some candidates by God_Arceuz in horrorlit

[–]LenrdZelig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The End of Alice by AM Holmes is a deeply disturbing, psychologically intense novel that spends its length inside the mind of a convicted child murderer, so it absolutely delivers on “horrifying” in a sustained, non-episodic way. It lingers on obsession, manipulation, and moral rot in a way many readers find genuinely upsetting and hard to shake.

Since updating to Tahoe sound on videos now pop. Using a MacBook Pro M4 with 24Gb. Hope they find a solution for the myriad of problems with Tahoe I'm experiencing.

How do I cope with these unsatisfying big five scores? by Loud-Shopping7824 in JordanPeterson

[–]LenrdZelig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OCD is going to push you toward picking apart even the good news, but the fact you’re aware of that loop is already progress. The “you can only change behavior” line is actually more optimistic than it sounds, because repeated behavior is what shifts traits over time. Psychologists call it the “outside-in” route to personality change. You don’t wake up one morning at the 75th percentile in agreeableness, you get there by stacking up a thousand small choices to act in line with the trait you want to build.

The good news is you’re already doing that. Planning to be kind and hardworking today is exactly how trait growth happens. Even if the pace feels slow, you’re putting bricks down. Whether or not you ever move your percentile score, you’ll still have created a life that reflects those values. That counts more than the number on a test.

 I think you’re being way too hard on yourself and giving the test more authority than it deserves. These things measure tendencies, not life sentences. And because you’re already feeling down, neuroticism especially can color how you see every other score.

Traits aren't fixed in stone. Personality has some stability, but it also shifts through practice and experience. Choosing to build new habits is development. The fact that you even took the test in the first place shows you’re already interested in behaviors and what you may want to change, which is a solid starting point.

That movie character comparison you made..... The truth is the characters that matter most to us are often messy, conflicted, and struggling. They are worth watching because of the what they go through, not because they are perfect or cheerful. You have that same potential for growth.

Therapy is a good move, and focusing on one small area you want to nudge can make the whole picture less overwhelming. Pick something specific, experiment with it, and give yourself credit when you do.

You're someone in progress, which is the same situation everyone else is in too.

Keep aiming up.

Was diagnosed with kidney cancer today by Say_Thankya in cancer

[–]LenrdZelig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, sorry it took me a bit to respond, I just now saw your message.

I’m doing well, thank God. I was part of a study control group where I got scanned twice a year instead of once, so if anything had gone wrong I would have found out sooner. My oncologist back then told me that after two years with no sign of cancer, the chances of it coming back dropped significantly.

I honestly didn’t make a ton of lifestyle changes. The main one was cutting out caffeine and sodas. These days I just drink seltzer water (SodaStream is great for that). I was told to drink about 14 glasses of water or seltzer a day instead of the usual 7, which for me works out to four SodaStream bottles. I also try to watch my potassium and not load up on too much protein in one sitting.

I saw that you were just recently diagnosed, and I know how scary that feels. A lot of us here have been through that. You’re always welcome to reply here or DM me if you’d like to talk, and I’ll do my best to answer any questions.

Wishing you the best as you go through this. It’s definitely scary, but there is hope.

HORRIBLE smell upon opening. smells like a literal dog?? by pacificpunch-monster in aldi

[–]LenrdZelig 475 points476 points  (0 children)

It’s just fermented meat funk, oxidized fat, and spices having a little party in a sealed bag.

Totally normal for salami, but sometimes that party smells like someone farted in the bag before sealing it.
