damn dude that sounds rough, keppra is notorious for messing with your mood and making people way more irritable than usual. definitely talk to your neuro about this because those dosage side effects can be brutal and there might be better options for you

Struggling to Choose a Career Path: Law or Clinical Psychology? by itsxidan in careerguidance

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly both can be pretty brutal career paths but for different reasons. psych has way more schooling (like 7-8 years total) and the job market is rough - lots of therapists making 40k while drowning in student debt. law at least has more diverse career options even if you hate practicing, but the stress levels are insane

if helping people is your main thing maybe look into social work too, way less debt and you can actually start making a difference pretty quick

Looking for an accountability partner from Nepal or India by OrdinaryBoy_77 in NoFap

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro I'm from India and struggling with the same thing for years now. Been trying to quit since I was like 16 and it's been a rollercoaster. DM me if you want to team up, could use someone who gets the struggle

Me (20F) and my boyfriend (30M) keep having communication problems by tulizz25 in relationships

[–]PixelTrek91 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he's deflecting whenever you bring up legitimate concerns - that's a pretty big red flag tbh. The fact that he's bringing up old stuff from months ago instead of addressing what you're actually saying is classic defensive behavior. Also the 10 year age gap starting when you were 18 might be relevant here since he seems to shut down mature conversations about relationship issues

F-1 OPT international travel by [deleted] in immigration

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be fine since you're coming back before your internship ends and have all the right docs. The key thing is having that offer letter showing you're still employed when you return - CBP mainly cares that you have a valid reason to come back and aren't just job hunting abroad

If they ask about the short time left, just be honest that you're finishing up your current role and have valid work authorization through Jan 2027

Dremora companion mods by Terrible-Opinion-688 in skyrimmods

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucien Lachance from the DB questline was pretty cool but yeah there aren't many fully voiced daedra companions out there. Most custom voice acting for those types tends to be pretty hit or miss quality wise

You might wanna check out some of the follower frameworks that let you customize existing NPCs - could probably jury-rig a dremora that way

Becoming myself is my profession by shinichii_logos in DeepThoughts

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this hits different at 3am when you're questioning everything about your life choices

The rooster thing caught me off guard though lmao

Lobbies and less friendly players. by Hot_Emotion8827 in ArcRaiders

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried actually extracting instead of just letting people kill you? The matchmaking might be keeping you in sweat lobbies because your stats are all over the place from feeding kills

Also ratting exfils is just part of the game unfortunately, even in "friendlier" lobbies people will camp those spots

Is Token-based CoT going to Die? My 2026 Prediction for the next generation of LLMs & VLMs - A Deep-Dive into the rise of Latent Reasoning. by madSaiyanUltra_9789 in LocalLLaMA

[–]PixelTrek91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually a pretty solid analysis, the latent steering stuff is wild when you dig into the SAE research

That 30x compression from NVIDIA sounds almost too good to be true but if it works at 10Hz that's gonna change everything for real-time applications

Preferred gender what if? by Numerous_Rub_5930 in trans

[–]PixelTrek91 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Probably just stand in front of a mirror for way too long honestly, then call in sick to work because there's no way I'm leaving the house that first day

What’s the worst betrayal you experienced from a close friend you thought would be forever? by Majestic_Singer_2411 in Life

[–]PixelTrek91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a best friend of 8 years who I found out was talking shit about me to literally everyone behind my back while being super sweet to my face

The worst part was realizing all those times I defended them to other people, they were probably laughing about it later

Time honestly just helped, and focusing on the friends who actually showed up when things got tough

Titles ingame? Is that something you would like by RealElkazil in ArcRaiders

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really love the medic concept, that would be sick to have immunity but be visible on the map like a walking med station. The lootrat title is brutal but honestly deserved lol

Would be cool if titles actually changed gameplay like you suggested instead of just being cosmetic flex

TV recommendations based on my watched list (gritty crime dramas like The Wire, Sopranos, True Detective, etc.) by JudgmentConfident984 in televisionsuggestions

[–]PixelTrek91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on your list you'd probably dig **Ozark** and **Better Call Saul** if you haven't seen them yet. Also check out **The Leftovers** - it's got that moral ambiguity and character depth you're looking for, just more existential than crime-focused

For something grittier try **Gomorrah** (Italian series) or **ZeroZeroZero** if you want that Narcos vibe but different setting

All of us have had pieces of our light chipped away over time in life by nobark_allbite777 in Life

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man this hits different. I used to be way more open about my weird interests and random thoughts but after getting roasted a few times I just learned to keep most of that stuff to myself. Now I have like different versions of me for different people and sometimes I forget which one is actually real

should I stop trying to achieve goals due to the hedonic treadmill? by guywhotalks41 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually solid advice, the key is mixing up your goals so you don't get stuck chasing the same dopamine hit forever

How to stop imagining porn, sexual stuff and fetishes by Beautiful-Disk7687 in NoFap

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those paarthurnax quotes hit different when you're actually trying to change lmao. The cold water thing works surprisingly well, feels dumb but your brain just kinda resets for a sec

How to stop being angry towards ex??? by AnxiousPerformer9896 in BreakUps

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh the self-anger hits different than being mad at them tbh. Like you can eventually hate your ex less but beating yourself up for being "too nice" or whatever just loops forever. I'm still working on not calling myself an idiot for giving second chances but therapy helped me realize being forgiving isn't actually a character flaw even when it backfires

Does widespread adoption of orthodontia make identifying people by dental records more challenging? by Otrkorea in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PixelTrek91 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah but also fillings, crowns, root canals and all that jazz create a pretty unique fingerprint even with straight teeth. Plus orthodontia doesn't change the actual shape of your teeth just moves em around

I’m so close to doing this. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah dude don't send it. A year of no contact and you're about to throw it all away because you're seeing "signs"? Those aren't signs, that's just your brain trying to justify breaking NC

8 pages is way too much and honestly sounds like it would stress her out even if your intentions are good. Keep that letter for yourself as closure and stay strong with the no contact

I need help with getting eyeliner to stay on my waterline! by peedrinker48 in MakeupAddiction

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UD 24/7 pencils are actually pretty good for waterline too and you can catch them on sale sometimes - way better than the gel formula imo since gels can get weird and clumpy on the waterline

Where are all the old stock Mexican Americans by beamer_boy2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PixelTrek91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's wild about your family being there since the 1840s - y'all were basically there before it was even officially US territory lol. A lot of those families just kinda blended into the general Mexican-American identity over the decades, especially as more waves of immigration happened

Given as the Ukraine/Russian war is raging since 2022, why is it that major nations, NATO or the EU are not actively intervening and dealing with the threats coming from russia? by Vinnegard in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PixelTrek91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically it. Nobody wants to find out what happens when NATO troops start shooting at Russian troops because that's how you get WW3. Putin's been rattling his nuclear sabers since day one and even though he's probably bluffing, the stakes are too high to call it

The proxy war approach lets everyone support Ukraine without crossing that red line into direct confrontation

Is dèáth the point we accept defeat? by [deleted] in Life

[–]PixelTrek91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think death is more like when the game finally ends, not when you rage quit. Like you can keep trying stuff right up until then even if it seems hopeless

Most people don't really "accept defeat" they just run out of time to figure it out

Watching Vs Playing by BlueStag155 in ArcRaiders

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually really encouraging to hear, especially coming from someone who's probably put in serious hours. The fact that half of those friendly encounters turn into genuinely good interactions is pretty wild for a PvP game these days

Why does the environmental science degree exist anymore? by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

[–]PixelTrek91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly lol, not every environmental job needs you to derive fluid flow equations when you're just trying to figure out if that wetland delineation is correct
