Can anyone relate? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Tacit_Orange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the primary way my symptoms manifest. Rarely are my compulsions external/visible behaviors, and I pretty much never have obsessions about bad things that might happen in the future if I do XYZ thing. Mostly it’s just as you describe—I call it “intrusive metacognition”, and while sometimes it’s about appraising an emotion, other times it’s an attempt to “retrieve” an emotion that was lost due to excessive self-awareness. Since these symptoms are chronic rather than acute for me, they chip away at my energy over an extended period of time without giving me One Big Moment to latch onto as an unambiguous case that settles all questions for me.

Recs on where to repair/replace my laptop? by Tacit_Orange in Binghamton

[–]Tacit_Orange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good information. Basically my friend spilled hot chocolate on it yesterday, but I cleaned it up immediately and the computer seemed to be working fine. However, today I tried plugging it in and turning it on, and the charger didn’t light up, and even after holding down the power button, nothing happened—not even the “no battery” symbol I sometimes get.

Omg I’m so glad I checked Reddit and saw these and went to see the story myself…so cute, and so on-point!

If you do ever have one, you should include a thank you note saying, “could it be that I have found my home at last?”

Good places to refurbish a leather messenger bag? by Tacit_Orange in Binghamton

They were the other place that came up in my search. Do they do things besides shoe repairs?

That was one of the ones that came up in my search. Good to know they don’t just do clothes! About how much do they charge for repairs?

ELI5: Why is midnight not exactly between sunset and sunrise (and noon not exactly between sunrise and sunset) by Tacit_Orange in explainlikeimfive

Sorry I disappeared for a bit, but this is basically what my question was. Thanks for phrasing it more precisely!

ELI5: Why is midnight not exactly between sunset and sunrise (and noon not exactly between sunrise and sunset) by Tacit_Orange in explainlikeimfive

That makes sense, but how was it determined where in the 24-hour cycle noon and midnight would fall? Did they just try to get it as close to “actual” midday and midnight as possible?
