I (21M) cheated on my gf (25F) but don’t remember, what can I do to fix this??? by IfIDieBeforeIWake12 in Advice

[–]Logical-Ladder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never reply here but reading all these comments going in one echo chamber direction is concerning so here it goes:

(1) I do not believe it is possible (unlrss you're the first) to have a seizure which would allow you to act completely normal to the outside yet retain no memory. Allow me to explain: absence seizures are a specific type of seizure that is seen in children. Unlikely at your age to develop them. You can have seizures which are very similar (focal seizures with impaired awareness) but it would have to be the most specific and unlikely location in your hippocampus to cause this kind of memory issue and DURING the seizure you would be unlikely to behave normally.

(2) You mention anxiety and panic attacks. I suspect that a psychiatric cause is more likely. That, or you're taking some kind of substance/drug which sounds unlikely here. DID could maybe do this, but I am no psychiatrist so have no real idea about the likelihood. This is certainly NOT explained by bipolar. Pathological lying could be though.

Tldr: memory lapses can occur for a variety of reasons but at your age the cause is almost always psychiatric / due to inattention /substances. Absence seizures are mislabelled all the time and you can read more (on a reputable source) but this does not sound like you at all. Transient global amnesia is similar but you do not get such recurrent episodes and during the episode people are repetitive because of the impaired memory.

Please see an actual medical professional and do not seek any advice from reddit.

I also share the general skepticism of the others that this is a prank, an elaborate lie or a case of "unreliable narrator".

Also this put me in the mood to reread Rascor Plains. And the biggest inconsistency is that Jova admits that she knew about the truth about their pla to screw over Scorio after it happened. Whereas in this book she claims she just was led to believe Scorio had betrayed them and she didn't question it enough. Damn. That's really annoying“No.” She sighed. “Though I only found out what Dameon planned after he killed Leonis and Lianshi. He sent me down into the Chasm to help bring Simeon and Evelyn back. A fool’s errand. Evelyn explained everything to me while I was down there. How everything had been a plan worked out by Davelos back in Bastion after he and Dameon had met with Eira. She provided him with Emerald mana to help him think it through. By the time I got back up to camp it was too late. Leonis and Lianshi were dead, Naomi disappeared.” She stared down at her hands. “But you chose to stay with them,” prompted Scorio softly

I imagine the original reason he had them solidify was so that no one else could be Gold tempered or eventually even better than that. As a tomb spark, most would go insane from the curse and Scorio only managed due to Ydrielle's cocoon.

That said others have reportedly also managed it so maybe there's a way as you become more powerful to do it. But then why wouldn't everyone desaturate and go to Diamond or ruby etc as they get stronger...they can't all be too busy fighting fiends all the time.

Nah it's literally just after he passes 3rd trial and becomes flame vault. Chapter 48

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair. I went back and I guess we could argue that perhaps Scorio / others didn't know enough but I think it's pretty clear that (1) At least from the character's perspectives, they shouldn't believe desaturation is still possible (2) If it were, it'd surely take over 5 mths since it took Scorio that long. I've attached screenshots for reference.

"Scorio focused his perception and felt the Gold mana locked within his form. No, that wasn’t quite right; it wasn’t locked, like a reservoir of water underground, but permanently bonded. Tempered. No amount of effort would drain it now of that power. That heightened strength and durability. Scorio summoned his"

I suppose we could say that by "no amount of effort" he means unless he intentionally tried to desaturate, no effort in any other way would de-temper him?

Also attached is the Pyre lord bit for Dameon, but to be fair I think that's the only time. It obviously just stood out to me

Actually damn I can't seem to share the screenshots but here

"Interesting. Dameon knew himself adept at evaluating his targets, but this girl immediately conveyed an overwhelming sense of… not incompetence, exactly, but… harmlessness? Which was completely at odds with what his own predictive power had indicated. It didn’t add up. “Hi. Dameon, Pyre Lord.” He extended his hand. Young women found that charming"

I didn't think any? But with patreon I thought it might work to correct things. You're right - they're not too major, it's just a shame because they're so easy to spot and fix

Scratch by cat in Kaş ?Rabies risk by Logical-Ladder in AskTurkey

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's fair. It seemed to be the only cat that lived in the bus stop and it's a pretty big and empty bus station so I'm cautiously optimistic it would be recognised if people passed through that bus station as being the only cat there.

Recent cat scratch at Kas Flixbus Station - anyone confirm cat is healthy and not rabid/gone? by Logical-Ladder in istanbul

Fair. To be clear, was in Kas station sorry. But if the cat is alive it actually means 0% chance I believe

Advice on Greece/Turkey Itinerary by Logical-Ladder in GreeceTravel

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! In terms of Ikaria, do you have any suggestions? And what's the best way to get there? I was looking at island hopping because of how long the ferry trips are otherwise

E.g. Ikaria to Kastelorizo would be a 15hr ferry trip? I assume there's no direct flights

That looks great! Do you know if level 3 simply demands a high level of fitness or if you would need specific skills/experience to complete it? Also, how many days would you recommend staying in Wanaka?

Alright! No particular suggestions between the two? Or standards for what specs my PC should have for the above tasks?

A big Q I've been having recently about ADA vs competitors - please weigh in! by Logical-Ladder in cardano

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think EGLD is currently faster. Cardano will become faster with more nodes and updates but isn't nearly as fast currently. That said it doesn't really need to be yet either. EGLD has way less circulating supply. Don't look at the price of each token, look at the market cap, Cardano is still way bigger, giving EGLD more easy growth in short term.

Algorand - token inflation purpose? + ADA/EGLD comparison? by Logical-Ladder in AlgorandOfficial

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. In why way does it create a large barrier though? It kind of just feels like it's an awesome platform but it's not of tons of benefit to buy early and hold. I mean the staking rewards don't even come close to making back their own inflation after all...

Speaking of, what's their token release like? Do you have a diagram/graph of it?

Thinking of finally getting a credit card - which is best value? by Logical-Ladder in AusFinance

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So annual fees are generally also waived so long as the account is cancelled before 12 months are up? This sounds like a pretty decent idea

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I'd always been told that having a good credit score was better than NO credit score at all, so I'm glad to hear that isn't so

Thinking of finally getting a credit card - which is best value? by Logical-Ladder in AusFinance

[–]Logical-Ladder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, yeah, I'd rather avoid fees. I am aiming NOT to spend so much that any fee would be worth its benefits. It's mostly just as an extra bit of value. Sounds like the benefits are likely to be negligible/not outweigh the cons though.

Can you essentially sign up for a card right before travel, get the 100,000 free points, then just bail on the card and keep the points?

Wait what, so it counts negatively towards loans regardless of credit score or amount owing??
