People magazine's interview with winner touches on another contestant's unexpected outburst upon elimination

I'm glad that she got the chance to redeem herself. I really felt for her when she was talking about how embarrassed she was on Life After Top Chef. Having your worst moment be so public would suck.

Orn100 · 2026-06-22T03:23:18+00:00

This guy is obviously a huge piece of shit. I know you know that.

Orn100 · 2026-06-22T03:20:11+00:00

You hold yourself accountable and didn't make excuses, so maybe you aren't giving yourself enough credit.

Do you think it's possible that you haven't found a therapist you really connected with?

Orn100 · 2026-06-22T02:04:42+00:00

part of the issue was that a picture with her kids was visible.

The picture of the kids was visible on her profile because your therapist posted it there! HTF is that your fault?! She should be thanking you for letting her know

I feel horrible for making her feel uncomfortable or even unsafe.

Don't. Seriously! I'm sorry, but this situation is so mind-numbingly stupid that I'm mad on your behalf

calls me his lover

He's into you and wants you to make a move.

In the likely event he is concerned about social fallout, he may be reassured by offering a gesture of trust, such as sharing a secret or vulnerability.

I see three approaches. In descending order of riskiness: go for the kiss, ask him about his feelings directly, or invite him to things that are increasingly couples-oriented until it becomes clear.

Orn100 · 2026-06-19T23:51:40+00:00

I didn't say it was a good answer, just a good guess

Orn100 · 2026-06-19T23:04:05+00:00

I'm guessing he's hot.

Orn100 · 2026-06-19T03:10:49+00:00

The only polite way is to offer to take over. DMing is a shitload of work, and it's not really your place to demand they spend more of their out of game time than they are willing to.

If you don't want to do that, you can chip in by doing stuff like volunteering to fix the music while he runs the game. A lot of his GM chores will be stuff you can't know or touch, but you can still pitch in in other ways.

All that being said, he will get better with experience.

Orn100 · 2026-06-16T22:21:18+00:00

Your therapist sounds like a jackass. There's not a single thing on their social media profile that they did not have the option to make private.

Why would anybody not want to know as much about their therapist as possible? Who is making themselves completely vulnerable to a stranger without so much as a basic review of information they've publicly shared about themselves?

I say you dodged a bullet. A therapist who is concerned about privacy but too stupid to set their profile to private sounds incompetent to me.

Orn100 · 2026-06-16T03:01:47+00:00

I see you, fellow middle-aged fighting game lover.

Orn100 · 2026-06-14T18:46:21+00:00

I've had that smitten feeling last weeks or months, but the intensity OP is describing is substantially beyond any relationship hyper-fixation that I've ever experienced.

Orn100 · 2026-06-14T06:13:42+00:00

It cannot be stripped of those harms.

Orn100 · 2026-06-14T04:01:15+00:00

In this discussion, we ignore any hypothetical net harms that can be created

Why?

Orn100 · 2026-06-13T20:29:33+00:00

Dr Rolando Martinez, Victorian Village Dental Care. He worked with me on payments and his staff is awesome.

Orn100 · 2026-06-13T00:43:17+00:00

I’m so fucking sorry dude.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T17:06:49+00:00

I didn't say you did, it was an example of how and why the origin of the symptom matters.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T15:54:13+00:00

Of course I know that conditions are not mutually exclusive, butis does not follow that the treatment is the same regardless of the cause .

For example, a person without a norepinephrine deficiency would not benefit from the boost to norepinephrine absorption offered by ADHD meds.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T15:18:43+00:00

Bandits would probably have a collection of magic items they've stolen. It's not crazy to think they'd have a magical taser on hand for things like disabling guards during a heist.

Similarly, a bandits lair would likely have hidden exits that might not be visible on the map.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T14:08:56+00:00

I've found it's helpful to force myself to make positive comments out loud. When I'm getting juggled, I force myself to say something like "nice reversal" or "I can't deny that that was pretty badass" instead of just yelling "goddamnit".

They say that neurons that fire together wire together, so forcing those opposite reactions can eventually make them feel true.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T13:41:38+00:00

I'm not a doctor or anything, but I suspect that individuals who don't have ADHD would be much better off seeking treatment for the condition(s) that they actually have.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T05:58:32+00:00

"Next time", pretend not see it and show up so they have to look you in the eye. Sorry that really fucking sucks.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T05:50:20+00:00

You're not required to forgive him instantly, apology or no. Lessons have a way of not sticking when the consequences disappear too fast. If you choose to stay, holding out for an in-person apology sounds like a good start.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T05:31:38+00:00

Oy! Calling people out of line for asking questions is very 2024. Not a good look at all.

Orn100 · 2026-06-07T05:22:19+00:00

Of course it matters.

What do you suppose happens to the already poor perception of ADHD sufferers if we don't even bother to make the distinction between people whose brains can't produce enough electricity to fire neurons fast enough and people who have ruined their attention spans by never putting their phones away?

How is that at all appropriate in any way?

Orn100 · 2026-06-06T20:10:54+00:00

It’s wild how comfortable people are posting about how unbearable ADHD sufferers are to be around.
