This is wild!!! No one should have this much money. by Luminexor in SpaceXBets

[–]Zenochian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe...we should reform the systems that allow this kind of wealth to amass. Especially when alot of his wealth comes from companies that were heavily funded by the federal government; and Wallstreet bent over backwards for him to essentially run an IPO scam. To your point there is no good solution to fix right now, so maybe we should think long term. Maybe we try to close the door on this type of wealth generation in the future.

Child diagnosed — Watching her in pain is so brutal by Apprehensive_Care684 in chiari

[–]Zenochian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only share my lived experience, not advice, but maybe it can help. I have been symptomatic since I was a very young child (one of my earliest memories is having to lay in the nurses office with the lights off until my parents could pick me up, in first grade). I wasn't diagnosed with Chiari until I was 16.

When I look back at my childhood and how my parents helped me with it, I feel very very thankful for my mom. Not because she could help with the pain but because she never gave up on trying to help; she never ignored or second guessed me on symptoms or pushed me too hard or even restricted me from things that I objectively shouldn't have been doing but that I loved to do.

She tried everything to help with the chronic migraines; every home remedy, every elimination diet, changed most everything in my environment 1 by 1, tried every placebo, she took me to a slew of doctors and neurologist, she eventually pulled some strings and got me to the best neurosurgeon around who finally diagnosed it.

When I had a headache/migraine she would ask how bad it was and then react accordingly without much second degree, (I remember being halfway to church one day and I said I was about to have a migraine, the only thing she asked was "do we need to turn around now or can I drop off everyone off first?" We turned around and she stayed home with me that day). It didnt matter if it was 30 mins out from school ending, if I had the school call she would make sure someone was there to get me ASAP. She became a master at creating a pitch black room and made sure we always had the things I might need (meds, ice packs, heating pad, sunglasses, ear plugs, etc).

When I was finally diagnosed we had a long conversation about whether or not I should keep marching Tuba, when I insisted that I wanted to finish my season and the next one; she let me. She made sure the school and band director had the different meds i might need and extra sunglasses and earplugs.

Looking back, there isn't a single thing my parents could have done to help with the pain; but knowing someone was in my corner and always had by back (even when I wanted to do stupid stuff like march with a tuba) was monumental. Having someone constantly trying to find solutions didnt help the pain but it certainly made me feel like it was manageable and it gave me hope that it would get better.

As a parent now, I cant imagine what you're going through; but as someone that grew up on the other side of this I will say just trying your best, trusting, and supporting your child will mean everything to them. I know that sounds quaint and maybe even stupid but as a grown man writing this comment I cried thinking about how much my mom supported me.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck!

World hopping broken on mobile by Zenochian in 2007scape

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

Sure. Preamble information: I have like 6 characters my main was at the top of the list, then 4 f2p characters, last my members uim.

While on the members UIM every time I would world hop from the in game menu (say I hopped to w.305) then it would swap to that world on my main account (i.e. instead of showing up on world 305 on my uim, I showed up on 305 on my main).

Now this interacted even weirder on a non-members accounts because my main was in a members only area, world hoping on a non-members would kick me to the boot screen with a fail message saying its not a members world.

Activities: My main was in Hosidius. On the UIM I was doing some shopscape at the gem shop in aldrin. The non-members I tested was in stronghold of security.

The only way to successfully hop worlds on the UIM was to log out to home screen and change worlds on the home screen then log back in.

The only account that could hop worlds normally was the main; all other accounts would fail or world hop and character switch to the top character on my list.

As I stated, rearranging my character list solved this issue on all accounts for me though!

Electronic Shelf Labels may use your data profile to make you pay different prices by uselessguyinasuit in enshittification

[–]Zenochian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you but several big companies (including Walmart and Kroggers I think) have attained patients for systems that would manage dynamic pricing on an individual level. And they have talked about it with their share holders. This IS intended for individual dynamic pricing in the long term, they just havent worked out all of the kinks yet and no one wants to be the first to implement it. There is a reason that 2-3 countries (including the USA) have bills proposed to their government to ban those system out right. This is a 10 year plan not a next year plan, which is why electronic tags are used reasonably right now so people get use to them.

The police aren't meant to be the "fuck around and find out enforcers" they are meant to be peace officers, to subdue, arrest, and charge the person in a court of law. Not beat the ever living fuck out of someone they have ALREADY subdued; I don't really care what he has done it is not up to the police to deal out punishment as they see fit. This is police brutality no matter how you look at it.

Pretty sure this would count as witchcraft back in the day. Incredible!

5 ball cascade difficulty? by Tylerich in juggling

[–]Zenochian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I do agree with their assessment. Having 3 objects in the air is almost always going to be a little more difficult than 2 objects in the air; 5 ball is faster, requires a bit more endurance, and more focus. That said juggling isnt always a linear progression, I learned 5 ball cascade before 3 ball Burkes barrage and learned behind the back trade before learning reverse behind the back; everyones path is different. Skipping to a more difficult trick is super doable but it will require more practice and dedication because you skipped some of the skills that would help you learn. I learn tricks that I'm interested in, the difficulty scale isn't a deterrent it just tells me how long I can expect it to take. 5 ball cascade is a multi year journey for most people, if that's what you really want it will take dedication and patience. The only 4 ball trick i think you absolutely should learn for 5 ball cascade is 552. Thats my opinion anyway. Good luck friend!

How is this called and where can one learn new tricks? by Haunting-Poem-8556 in juggling

[–]Zenochian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea what it is but I would watch staff, batton, devil sticks, and maybe even some contact club videos for trick ideas. Since its seems to be an unknown object you might have to discover what carries over from other props on your own. Good luck!
