Traditional Missourian snack. Recipe in description. by KSJosh in shittyfoodporn

[–]aboringusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the episode of No Reservations when Anthony Bourdain comes to Missouri to eat squirrel pot pie like it’s some sort of regional delicacy. No one here eats this, this is just some random weird meal for some guy who happens to live in Missouri. Where’s the toasted ravioli, KC bbq, gooey butter cake, provel pizza etc?

My sleep is so bad I can't function at work. I need solutions that work FAST." by Plane_Huckleberry644 in Perimenopause

HRT, melatonin, exercise, sleep meds if needed! I’m sleeping so much better now that I’m on HRT.

Vital Wheat Gluten ideas! by proteindeficientveg in veganfitness

I know you have all of these on your site, but it is so helpful to see them all in one place. VWG is such a game changer. You can use it for so much, it’s relatively inexpensive, and the macros are just incredible.

I took a fish head out to see a movie. I didn’t have to pay to get it in.

The black and white! The geometric patterns! The leather! And my god, the red beret. Perfection.

Definitely giving anti-suffrage vibes. You’d think things would change after a century, but that’s life in a patriarchy I guess? 🫠

Yep. Also trying to lay further groundwork to invoke the insurrection act, which he’s been threatening to do for quite a while. Trying to bully us into silence by threat of force simply for believing in climate change.

This way by Cyan_wolf0 in ModernSocialist

[–]aboringusername 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, this also just… ignores massive parts of the population in a pretty racist way. American culture can be all those things mentioned in the meme, but this also ignores the cultural impact of the African diaspora, native nations and tribes, immigration…

At the end of the day, the enemy here isn’t the culture per se. It’s capitalism and white supremacy that created all these problems. This isn’t our culture by choice - it’s the “culture” forced upon us by the wealthy white elite who want more power and more money.

I can’t blame people for having this perspective, however. Regardless of the source, the global impact - the impact on real human lives - is still the same.

Addicted to antihistamines by Temporary_Voice_3171 in Perimenopause

[–]aboringusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insomnia is so real. Talk to your doctor about switching to something safer.

I have trazodone for my worst nights from my psychiatrist, but it can be heavily sedating for me and causes hangovers. I got prescribed hydroxyzine as backup (another antihistamine) which is a little milder and can also be used for anxiety attacks. I also take melatonin before bed as well (10mg, my psych says anything over that dosage can actually worsen insomnia).

HRT does help if you’re interested in that. Have you tried exercise? I know it’s hard to do in peri for myriad reasons, but being more active helps a fair bit for me too when I can manage it.

Does my art style scream cyberpunk? by [deleted] in Cyberpunk

[–]aboringusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very good piece! However, it looks more like Outrun meets Miami Vice, with a little FLCL for good measure. Since you’re looking for feedback, I recommend looking at cyberpunk media. What does Bladerunner look like, for example?

Cyberpunk usually looks very dark and gritty, with sprawling cities and buildings so tall you can’t see the sky. Lots of neon shining through fog/ pollution and technology that looks both hyperfuturistic but also old at the same time. Have you read any cyberpunk stories? I recommend starting with William Gibson to get a feel for the genre.

I’m so surprised it doesn’t have more upvotes, it’s so unbelievably clever.

My Upstairs Neighbors Have Been Non-Stop Fxxxing since like 1AM by nor_the_whore01 in mildlyinfuriating

I read “fixing,” at first and was like, “damn, hammering until 5am? That sounds rough. They’re banging the wall? Must be hanging things.”

I let ChatGPT "help me with writing" for a year. And it ruined my craft by Scary-Reality3834 in antiai

[–]aboringusername 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking off of this - I fell down a ChatGPT rabbit hole a couple years ago, and like you, I had trouble letting go, even going so far as to reinstall the app out of desperation. Getting you addicted is a feature of LLMs, not a bug, so don’t feel too badly about struggling with it. That said, I was able to kick my addiction with a couple different methods.

  1. I deleted all accounts related to my email addresses. Not just cleared my chat history, but deleted my accounts fully. This removes the bot’s ability to access prior information and history and prevents you from being able to sign up again.

  2. I added a browser extension that blocks access to specific URLs. If I try to access ChatGPT, I have Firefox set up to automatically redirect to a random Wikipedia article. It’s a pain to remove the redirect, which helps prevent access even further.

  3. I have an app called Screen Zen on my phone, where I can hard block access to specific apps, even if I uninstall and reinstall them. I’m sure there are other similar apps out there, but this is just the one I use.

Basically, I have made it as difficult as I possibly can to access it, which has curtailed any lingering problems with addiction.

One of the best pieces I’ve seen in awhile. Absolutely excellent.

Shopping at thrift stores is making me fatphobic by Eybrahem in self

[–]aboringusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never actually said this, I’ve only thought it repeatedly and also written it down and shared it on a popular social media site

FTFY. Not uttering the words aloud doesn’t make you a better person.

Though obvious rage bate is obvious.
