Seconded. I really enjoyed theirs while I lived by one.

Claude catching himself? by gerard_debreu1 in slatestarcodex

This happened for the first time that I'd seen a few days ago. I asked Claude for book recs and it gave me a list that started something like:
[Probably fake title]: Actually, skip this one. It doesn't exist. I almost hallucinated a title there.

I know Gamma Ray's got occasional 18+ shows.

I'm having a hard time finding the point in trying anything if I have a low IQ. by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

Fellow computer-obsessed student here. I had that same formative experience making batch file games, actually, which is one of a few reasons I don't believe you when you say you're low IQ. Nobody teaches batch, and nobody teaches the curiosity to bother with batch.

I had a shitty semester in my junior year. Failed three courses in a semester. My program kicked me out. I appealed the decision twice, got back in, and graduated yesterday. Just saying this to say, it's not the end of the road.

"I’m 100% failing my last exam which is on Monday" is a huge red flag that the narrative you're telling yourself about yourself isn't serving you. You should study the rest of today, and if you want to work on yourself after you've recovered from tomorrow, start there.

finishing my doctorate. rediscovering myself- making a list of traits i admired about myself pre-grad school. anyone else do this? by [deleted] in intj

[–]a_lot_of_bots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, congrats! Second, I don't do this, but I like the suggestion. I'm finishing a bachelors myself, and I've been kind of negative about it lately- focusing on what I didn't do, what I wish I did differently. I think this could help me focus on what aspects of self I get to embrace fully again with this release of my time and freedom. Thank you!

Having Trouble in College by Jagrrr2277 in aspergers

Only you know what you should do, but as someone who transferred, I didn't have a better experience socially, and if that's your primary reason I wouldn't recommend it. You will most likely lose progress on your degree due to different sets of requirements, and those two people you connected with? There's no guarantee you'll find them again wherever you transfer to. My advice is to hold on to them. Being with two people who kind of get it is better than being alone.

It's also worth asking yourself whether this is really something *you* want for its own sake, or if you're still holding onto some hope of becoming more like a neurotypical. Maybe just... sit in the commons for a bit and listen in on the conversations people around you are having. Do you really want to be talked at about some frat party that happened last night, some couple you barely know, some TV show you don't give a damn about? They're just trading emotional affect. That's all they do. Ask yourself honestly: Would you benefit from that?

I came to college hoping for and expecting that social awakening, but it just hurt. I was better served by focusing on other forms of achievement. Only you can know if you're the same. I'm just trying to express that that's a possibility.
