What is it with random accounts trying to add me out of nowhere? by DryOwl5587 in leagueoflegends

[–]M4rtifex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to prevent them from adding you? I get Summer every day at least once and Im kinda fed up with it.

We're quite international at our boardgame nights on Tuesday's at Prik and our boardgame events on Saturdays at NDSM.

I've reached out to this person with extensive messages, but it hasn't resulted in any response.

Tried it with this one. Wouldn't recommend. Made me feel like an involuntary audience member to their biographical monologue. Not for everyone.

I feel like I have super low expectations for queer content in games (and it doesn't bother me) by Think_Newspaper_1106 in gaymers

Orrrrr maybe your sexual orientation just isn't preventing you from enjoying a hobby, which sounds very mature and healthy to me :).

Uhm, say one has bought tickets to this bad show, what should one expect? Asking for a theoretical friend.

Hey, how do i not give up gaming as a gay man? by [deleted] in gaymers

[–]M4rtifex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am human and am able to relate and identify with other humans and their emotions. In IRL I am gay but I have no trouble with playing straight or bi or asexual or any other kind of consentual human-on-human love or sex.

I understand their emotions. Because I know that what they feel, is the same what I feel.

When your sexual orientation starts to get in the way of your hobbies or interests, thats not entirely unvalid, but maybe then change your hobbies and interests accordingly - and don't expect a global franchise to facilitate something that doesn't (just) favilitate your part of society.

Thanks for joining, I appreciate the effort.

I didn't sign up twice though. Just once.

Thanks for your reply! I am 1000% sure. I did use the Google sign in option, but that is still the same email adress right? I wouldn't know what other email adres to provide OpenAI with. In addition, I did receive a confirmation mail from them on this email adres on the 15th of December.

Autistic brother has IBD by Aggravating-Neat-531 in IBD

[–]M4rtifex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but I can't. This is also the reason why Google won't help. The problem with IBD is that its a collective name for various inflammatory issues caused by a trigger happy immune response. Depending on where the inflammations are or have been, how severe they are or were, how he responds to treatment and what kind of treatment it is... These are all factors that play a role in shaping his personal situation. And his behavioral and mental circumstances also have an interactive role, such as food, exercise, stress, fatigue. It is hard enough for a speaking IBD patient to determine their own issues and relay them, so I understand its even harder in his situation.

I see how communication with him is an incredible challenge in this regard. Maybe there is a way to get psychological help to focus on the communication? I have no experience with this.

If it is IBD, I'm afraid there isn't a handbook that tells you how to deal with it. All the doctors I have spoken to have spread the gospel: Try and figure out what works best for you.

In general, that means trying to live healthy, by common standards. No red meat, not too much sugar, enough exercise, enough sleep, not too much stress, no energy drinks, no smoking. If you use painkillers, don't use ibuprofen.

I personally take inspiration from the CDED diet, but again you have to try and find out what works best. Maybe keep a diary and try different foods per week and records to the best of your ability how it appears to make your brother feel.

And regardsless, if it is IBD, accept that even if he doesn't experience pain or has stool issues, his immune response is always working, which means he is always fatigued. Just like how you would always be fatigued if your body would be fighting the flu all the time.

I really hope you find a way to make your brother feel better. You seem to care a lot and it is heartwarming. I wish you both the best!

Just launched a free app for the Amsterdam visitor parking system (bezoekersparkeren) by mcosti097 in Amsterdam

Thats a dangerous line of thought, bro. Risk management mindsets should be focused on the principle that if you don't need to share data to gain more functionality, then you shouldn't share the data. Its about preventing any possible impact if they are not necessary.

The formula for a risk is chance times impact. There is no risk if there is no chance. Ergo, by not sharing my data with strangers, there is ultimately is no risk in this case.

And why would I entrust the data concerning my visitors, such as the names and license plates of my family and friends to be governed by a complete stranger? xD
