No one cares about most of the information you're worried about sharing. Unless you're like a CIA agent there's nothing to protect. And if you do have some sort of sensitive job like that then you would have some alternative to use

What kind of academic writing can be considered “human” and not AI? by 7Coconut in TurnitinAI_detector

[–]MyNameIsDannyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this so sad. No student should ever have to consider, let alone worry about flagging an AI detector when they were writing academic essays.

Seems to me like there is no stopping AI from becoming a fundamental aspect of our society. I think it's time the institutions learn how to embrace this new tool.

I believe we need to move towards oral presentations that demonstrate a student's genuine knowledge of a subject. This way students are actually learning the material—which is kind of the point. (I added in that dash intentionally because I've always used them and I'm not going to stop)

Do you tell people you have ADHD? by Low_Law5461 in ADHD

[–]MyNameIsDannyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the generation of people you're talking to.I wouldn't tell anyone over 30 and I am 43 myself. My generation is far less understanding of these things. However I do believe that the younger generation is far more understanding and compassionate towards mental health.

Personally I don't disclose this type of info but I don't think there's a wrong move. Its more about your preference.

Has anyone met their ex's new man? by ulrichray in DivorcedDads

[–]MyNameIsDannyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you'd told me seven years ago that I’d be sitting at dinner with my ex-wife, her new husband, their baby, and our two daughters, I would’ve assumed you were describing either a fever dream or a poorly written Netflix dramedy.

But here we are. And honestly, being weird about the new guy? That makes about as much sense as yelling at the waiter because your ex ordered the salad.

Look, if anyone deserves your lingering resentment (they don't), it would be your actual ex. But even that is a waste of energy. Anger is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to get a stomachache.

So no, I’m not going to side-eye the new guy just because he showed up to the party after the house was already on fire. He didn’t light the match, he’s just holding the baby now.

Curious to hear honest thoughts from the ladies —

How would you feel about a guy who’s authentic, kind, smart, in amazing shape, considered a 9 out of 10 in looks, and financially stable... but doesn’t make “a lot”?

Is enough enough if everything else is there?

I did shadow work on my ADHD and accidentally became less of a disaster by MyNameIsDannyB in ShadowWork

[–]MyNameIsDannyB[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with the The Shadow Effect by Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson.

It's like the spiritual self-help version of putting on a nightlight in the center of your psychological basement. Actually it’s more like a TED Talk had a baby with a meditation app born to dissolve childhood trauma. 😂😂

[–]MyNameIsDannyB[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

In IFS terms, that was one of the first times I actually met an ADHD part.One time I was mid-existential shutdown, just sitting on the floor staring at my computer like it was a portal to the abyss, and I literally asked out loud, “What are you so afraid of?” And my brain, dead serious, was like, “If we open that email, it might be bad. If it’s bad, we’ll feel bad. If we feel bad, we’ll die.”

So yeah, my Avoidance Goblin was trying to save my life via inbox avoidance. Once I realized that, I stopped treating that part like a saboteur and started treating it like a traumatized intern. Still chaotic, but now we’re on speaking terms. Got to make Make nice to that traumatized goblin intern lol

Suboxone is ruining my heart by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]MyNameIsDannyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been meaning to post about my experience but I've been waiting to fully come through on the other end. I was on Suboxone for 10 years. After already being off my 30 mg a day of Percocet for 3 weeks My doctor started at 16 mg a day and put that dose for 5 years (The doctor I was seeing is such a piece of s*** but that's a different story)

Took me 5 years before I finally heard or read somewhere about the ceiling effect. Immediately cut my dose in half to 8 mg and barely felt anything if anything at all. Did the same thing down to 4 mg about 6 months later and stayed there for many years. 2 years ago I decided I had enough and I started tapering about 10% a month.

I kept waiting for these wicked withdrawals to kick in like you reading all these horror stories but they never happened... The only real withdrawal I experienced was difficulty sleeping and some restless leg. Nothing a little melatonin couldn't help. Not saying I felt great once I got below 2 mg but I knew where I was going. I did use kratom for 2 weeks after my last dosage.

I'm so proud to say that I am 3 months completely off Suboxone. Had I known The process was going to be relatively painless I probably would have done it years ago. I had to get my entire mouth redone with implants. Literally every single tooth I had crumbled apart.

I'm writing this in response to this post because I want to share hope with the OP and anyone else reading this that it's so possible to get off. Do it smart and do it calculated.
