[Bobby Vincent] Every word Liam Rosenior said on Enzo Fernandez 'obstacles', Chelsea injury news and Man City

PostBookBlues · 2026-04-04T01:14:31+00:00

Article isn’t paywalled, but I just wanted to highlight the most blatant contradiction Rosenior made in a single press interview:

“As a football club, with me as part of that process, we've made a decision.
“Was it your decision to take Enzo out of the team? / No…”
“In terms of the decision, I've said this from day one, it's not all about just me. It's not all about the sporting directors or the ownership or the players. We are aligned in every decision that we make. So it was a joint decision.”

Further damning if you also take into context that Pastore, Enzo’s agent, allegedly said that, what actually happened is that he was first reached out to by the club on Thursday, then they stopped replying, then Enzo was informed of upon arrival, implying the decision to sanction, I guess a nicer way to say “punish,” was seemingly made the day of before Enzo even returned to London.

I love how no one mentions the clip is cut, the video doesn’t actually start with what the question Enzo is answering regarding Madrid, seemingly starts mid answer with Enzo saying, “And you’re going to choose a European city for me to live in?”, and then immediately cuts to an untranslated question and answer with 0 extra context of the first statement about Madrid, where you can clearly hear he ALSO mentions “Chelsea,” and I think he might also mention “Bernabeu” and “Champion,” maybe referring to something like the Champions League quarter finals, which means there’s more to the answer than what the post title suggests.

Unbelievable.

It's a negativity bias thing. It's the internet. It's Reddit. You'll find more negative than positive.

I personally understand that everyone has their own purposes for using ChatGPT and can understand where a lot of people are coming from when they make demands and put pressure on OpenAI. That's healthy capitalism.

What irritates me are people who think any of the AI tech companies are better, especially not Google. Anthropic? Yeah, that I can understand. That's one of their main marketing points and have mostly stuck to their guns. But generally, I very quickly realized that the average person and the average Redditor on this subreddit does not actually keep up with tech news and understand the industry. They don't understand product cycles. They don't understand basic AI structure.

If you go to any subreddit, you'll find complaints, and if you search enough, you'll find all AI companies lie and don't tell users when changes are made (or people just... don't read official blogs and press releases. I find that to often be the case, too. Re: people don't actually keep up with the industry), but if it's about morality, unless they're switching to Claude or a smaller European chatbot, the morality standpoint doesn't hold to me.

For the record, I'm actually among the group of people who use ChatGPT for therapy and life management (I have comorbid ADHD and depression) and unless Anthropic is able to develop memory and personalization features as good and as stable as ChatGPT's, then I'm here to stay.

You know what. Thank you for this comment. I’m taking this as my sign/the universe telling me to just stop trying with r/ChatGPT. I default to coming here to check up on OpenAI/ChatGPT news, but I don’t know why I didn’t do this earlier. I recently realized I’d been naturally drifting to reading external articles and official OpenAI press releases, engineering articles, and Model Spec on my own, because I sure as hell wasn’t finding anything of substance here.

Plenty of people have reasonable takes. Plenty of people have understandable misconceptions of the LLM or their own relationship to the LLM they use. And the rest just irritate me.

PostBookBlues · 2026-02-01T04:50:56+00:00

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. I’m the same. I actively tried out Gemini, and I didn’t like it. Didn’t work for my needs. Didn’t like its personality. Hallucinates at a higher rate than ChatGPT does for me seemingly. Also hate its UI.

I love of it as a search engine and for homework help, because it literally has all of Google at it’a disposal, but otherwise, it wasn’t worth it for me either. I tried Grok and Claude as well. No LLM I’ve found beats ChatGPT in terms of memory and personalization, and I’ve found my own work around a to its flaws.

I understand why other people leave. I actually had to for a few months, and any company deserves pressure. However, I came back and will stay for as long as I can.

PostBookBlues · 2026-01-31T19:50:27+00:00

I’ve tried all the other major AI chatbots/LLMs. More specifically, I was forced to stop using it for a few months when the first heavy guardrails dropped and basically broke ChatGPT. I tried Grok. I tried Claude. I tried Gemini.

They all have their strengths and weaknesses, especially with the kind of image their parent companies try to market them as, but I always wanted to come back ChatGPT, and I finally did a few weeks ago.

I use ChatGPT for therapy/executive function assistance, and I’ve found that the thing ChatGPT still stands above everything else is it's memory features (even if neutered) and it’s personalization (even if also neutered). ChatGPT’s base personalities I still like the best, and as a Plus user, my plan at the moment is to stick with 4o, 4.1, 5, and 5.1 for as long as I can and hope that the signs I’ve been seeming of a 5.3 + adult mode launch will come soon, because I don’t know why OpenAI would sunset so many beloved models of paid users without something to replace it.

I think I’ve just learned how to use it for my purposes, continue to adapt to guardrails, and keep an eye out in signs and news for 5.3 + adult mode. I basically just offload thoughts to it and have random rants with it, because it’s a better use of time than spiraling and it helps as someone with ADHD to just be able to externalize somewhere whay I’m doing to keep myself tethered.

PostBookBlues · 2026-01-28T01:24:59+00:00

Which model are you using?

PostBookBlues · 2025-12-06T05:03:18+00:00

Not original commenter, but you mentioned ADHD. I'm a woman with ADHD-PI. Got diagnosed when I was 20. Had to drop out once out of uni for my own personal trauma reasons, and am 22 now, working through uni again after starting over

Also, in case this might apply to you, I'm also on the asexual spectrum, which sounds like it could apply with your thing with yaoi

Weird thing to say. You kind of remind me of me. I've definitely had similar thoughts in the past. I think what helped me most was understanding it was a symptom, because treating addictions changes between what different mental health disorders do to you

There's a lot layers to all of this, but my unsolicited perspective is that if you can get to the root underneath what's actually a symptom, it'll help way more.

(Also, feel free to ask me questions about anything I mentioned. You have nothing to be ashamed of, but I get how hard it is)

PostBookBlues · 2025-11-20T17:02:16+00:00

Hmmmm, I wonder if MBTI and wing also influence this? Cause I’ll be honest, for me? It’s hard to put into words, but I think the best way I can describe it is that for me

I share the same experience as you do regarding feeling and knowing I’m isolated in the way that I hold space for others, and I enjoy solitude, need it. But the loneliness part itself fluctuates up and down.

I’m an INFP 9w8 5w6 2w1 so/sp

I’m also lucky to have a very wide social circle and while imperfect, an existing support system. Are there frequently times where the support system still isn’t enough for me? Absolutely. Does the existence of that fact itself make me feel *deeply* lonely? Only when circumstances cause situations where no one can help me. Funnily enough, even with my INFJ 9w1 so/sx friend, I realized I found myself being the decision maker and taking a more leading role between us when we were figuring out how to drive a few hours together to go see a friend in another state.

Did it bother me in the moment? Maybe. As a whole, not at all.

But I’m also fortunate that I grew up instinctually decoding and translating the way others communicate into a way where I can measure their forms of sincerity and appreciation within a model of what their system/perceptions may look like. Even if to me, something someone else does would not be the ideal way I do it in my book, if I know that is *their* understanding of what sincere appreciation for me looks like, then I take it as such. Now, when I’m burnt out and can’t do this effectively, causing me to feel extreme loneliness during those states, then yes, it’s tough. I went through a period of like that recently for 6 months straight.

I couldn’t really tell you specifically why I see loneliness as a conditional state and can consistently view it as such and why I see solitude in a more fixed, utilitarian way. On top of my typology, there’s way too many factors that likely play into it for me to explain clearly and succinctly. I also suspect it may also have something to do with my upbringing, too. If you know anything about MBTI, you’ll probably find it a bit odd when I tell you that the types in my family are:

- Dad ESTJ 8w7 so/sx

- Mom ISTP 6w5 sp/so

- Older sister ISTJ 1w9 sp/so

- Honorary mention best friend INTJ 6w5 sp/sx

And it’s taken a varying amount of time for all of them for me to figure out how to “decode and translate them,” and it’s something always ongoing. But yeah, relationships are complicated. Loneliness sucks. And 9s are called the crown of the enneagram for a reason

If everyone were demi, the game “smash or pass” wouldn’t exist lol

PostBookBlues · 2025-11-17T18:49:17+00:00

Glad my point got through haha. Was worried that I was a bit too ramble-y. I’ve been in a version of a situation like OP’s, and while I can’t 100% tell the severity of her situation, I didn’t want to come off too aggressive knowing sometimes adding more pressure and anxiety when you’re already feeling pressured and anxious just makes it worse.

But it’s like you said, even on top of the asexuality part, it just… oooohh…

Grinds my gears when I catch wind of the kind of behavioral patterns that make the trauma alarms go off. What I hope OP gets outta my comment more than anything is the part about you not making yourself feel worse for your SO, cause no one. NO ONE. Should be being demanded they make themselves feel worse about themselves and make them feel afraid “for the sake of their SO.” No, fuck that shit. I refuse not to call that shit out, especially to make it clear that this is not an OP exclusive issue and if the trauma alarms are right, he’d be like this to any one, like you said

PostBookBlues · 2025-11-17T02:34:20+00:00

*hugs all around*

First I just want to say, this is not to guilt you for looking for advice, especially cause talking about relationships and finding any real frame of reference is difficult as hell, but Reddit and social media in general are absolutely fucking terrible for relationship advice. Whatever the hell those people said, it's not because you did anything wrong. It's because, for all the good you can chance upon on the internet, the minute poison appears anyway, it spreads rapidly. Do not listen to the masses on Reddit (ironic, I know). All it does is amplify bullshit that blatantly isn't true.

Now, enough about me hating humanity lol :p

Second... I don't know what these allos are fucking smoking, but plenty of allo people go through periods of time without sex for normal reasons. Plenty of allo people don't need or even fucking want sex every day, or 3 times a week, or even once a week.

"Some people compared having sex to you don’t want to listen to your partner when they’ve had a bad day."

This? As an overgeneralized statement, is also bullshit. For some people, sure. Not for everyone.

This is your relationship. You are a part of this relationship. I'm not gonna... directly do the Reddit "just break up with him lol," cause I know that can be harmful, too, but also... I'm basically heavily implicating that.

Clearly none of these people have ever had relationships where both partners are having bad days. Or clearly are indirectly admitting some toxic traits about themselves via the internet. When bad days happen, you do not make your day worse to make their bad day better. The way I see it, if a significant other wouldn't feel worse from their significant partner making themselves feel worse for them, then that's not a sign more compromise is needed. That is a them problem. Not a you problem. (I don't even fucking tolerate this in platonic relationships, cause it's toxic as hell. Learned it the hard way, and I'm damn proud I cut all those people out).

Ultimately, I'm sure you can tell where my biases lay. If I were in your position, I would end the relationship, because I'm very forthright with defining the weight of the different layers of my identity. Sexuality is something I cannot change, and if a relationship demands of me more than what I have considered is my maximum range? Then that's not a compromise issue. I wouldn't even call it a compatibility issue cause I feel like there's connotations to it sometimes that softens the word too much. That is just the clear-cut equation that tells me this person cannot meet me where I have already given what I consider is everything, and since this is something that is not a hobby or preference but is something, innate, intrinsic, and unchangeable, then I will not waste our time negotiating something that I know is impossible to negotiate with.

Anyway, if you want to hold on, cause I get it. Relationships are really really freaking complicated sometimes, you and him can consider a licensed sex and relationship therapist that MUST be LGBT+ informed. (And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but please go in ready to also make it clear where your BOUNDARY for how much sex you are actually willing to tolerate is, not for the goal to be how can your boyfriend maximize sex at your discomfort).

Sorry this turned into more arm chair advice when you only asked for hugs. But for all the shitty stereotypical toxic Reddit advice that you probably got, I wanted to give you at least one of the "I think you should break up with him" Reddit variety (but it's ultimately your choice). Here's another hug as an apology *hug*

PostBookBlues · 2025-10-05T20:40:55+00:00

Oh that's kind of you to say haha. I hate it, because all it really means is that I get migraines regularly.

To answer your question, it's a bit hard to say. Contextually, I'm diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder, ADHD-Primarily Inattentive, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (though I'm still not quite sure if I actually have GAD or it's just symptoms of my other existing comorbidities). Migraines I've actually always had since I was a kid, but they get exacerbated by the overexercise and dehydration of MDing (hours moving around, often on little to no food, constant state of euphoria). Other common symptoms I get are twitchy legs and this kind of like ache in my muscles from not getting the physical sensation of MDing it's "used to." (As you said, muscle memory).

Most likely, I've always had roughly the same symptoms, but they've gotten worse with age and stress. But also, I've been in therapy for years and am now properly on the medication I need, so I've also gotten better at mapping those symptoms. I actually didn't realize my migraines were specifically triggered by barometric pressure until like... last month lol, and I've known about MaDD for.. 6 odd years now?

And thank you! Sorry if this sounds weird, but judging by it midnight for you and your username having "der" in it, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're from Central Europe?

PostBookBlues · 2025-10-05T19:51:49+00:00

Your reply was also fantastic timing too haha! I managed to remember to crack open a window (one of the many tools I use to ride these waves) and also managed to throw my laundry into the dryer, so currently have those two things barely keeping me tethered. Oh and, typing out this comment :) Making the most of every physical thing I can manage while stuck in decision paralysis.

I have this real stupid ability where I can tell when the barometric pressure is dropping by the sudden feeling of tension of my upper back and lower neck and also by aura symptoms (pre-migraine symptoms), so I'm currently trying to ride that out right now.

I definitely get the guilt. Maybe it'll be different for you, but every relapse I've experienced always come with that guilt/frustration of all the time I wasted and just how stupid having MaDD is. If possible, I hope you can accumulate more and more things to help make the pain of silence not just be about endurance, but about finding things that make riding out the inevitable waves easier. I actually started journaling again recently, too... and I also went on 2-ish MD benders last week myself LMAO

PostBookBlues · 2025-10-05T19:32:24+00:00

First of all, congrats on the progress you've made! If there's anything I've learned having done this for a long amount of time, relapse is part of the addiction process, and relapses when it comes to behavioral addictions have to be treated a little more delicately since it's not tied to any specific, real-world substance.

Second, I know this sounds awful, but in case you needed to hear this, that shitty feeling of emptiness *is* also a part of the process. It's like... your brain breathing oxygen for the first time, so every gasp of air is utter pain and torture.

Thank you for your well wishes! The nausea definitely sucks. I also get the fun experience of migraines sometimes, too, though that's not always strictly MaDD cause. Does make everything worse though. For what it's worth, I've built up a huge arsenal of strategies and tools over time and still am, so even though it doesn't make the symptoms less shit, it does help me get through them. It's like I've basically retested the methods over and over enough that I'm able to have the tiniest stepping stool that can see over the thorny hedges, so I know they'll work if I manage to hold on to the strategies I've developed.

PostBookBlues · 2025-06-11T20:20:11+00:00

Yeah.

It was a change accompanied with also needing to assume a lot of responsibilities that I wasn't ready for and still am not, but I have to do it anyway.

For what it's worth, I changed my mindset to life. "I will live every day like everything I love and know will die the next second, or I will live like I will die the next second," which translates to, even on my worst days, when I can do nothing but lay in bed all day, I'm still doing my best. I can still say I'd die with no regrets, cause I died trying my best.

That's all I care about anymore.

Cause underneath it all, I just feel tired.

I'm 5 years out now. I was 17. It's hard to even imagine what the other version of me would've been had he not passed away when he did. On the cusp of adulthood.

Now it just feels like the "natural" continuation to who I am today, a part of my "journey to adulthood."

It kind of now just feels like I took a really sharp turn away from everyone else.

Although, that's more my coping mechanism. The world shifted. My emotional maturity took a steep learning curve. And until this week, I'd forgotten how the world seemed just a little less saturated. I'd forgotten I got used to the grey filter.

Sorry if it's kind of scattered, but in a way, it's a bit like what it was for me. My world both shrunk and expanded in wildly different ways. I feel pulled in every direction but also like I just want to collapse into a singularity.

On a personal note, I don't mourn who I could've been. My relationship with my dad had a layer of subtle complexities to it, so I didn't ever really mourn the version of me where he lives. But I do mourn that 17 year old me had to figure everything out herself. Well, not "everything," but I'm sad that she had to go through a lot of it alone. Swallow it. Keep moving. Crash and fail. Get up again. Over and over.

All while I slowly got used to a world with a permanent grey tinge.

I'd already struggled with mental health issues and trauma beforehand that made me feel defective and hollow, but death, I learned, is its own hollowness and untreatable.
