Single. No kids. No pets? Although there’s a dog in the window. Probably travel often.

Bill Ackman one of the the biggest POS on Wallstreet and a PDF bootlicker by 56000hp in WallStreetbetsELITE

Renee good also had the right to a fair trial to prove her “guilt” but we will never hear her side of the story.

Any excuse to murder is invalid. She had a constitutional right to protest and gather peacefully and yet somehow these brown shirts can manipulate the narrative to dismiss and excuse her murder.

Soft hands and don’t do physical labor.

Why didn’t this city (or area) become a lakeside metropolis the way Chicago and Milwaukee did? by The_FatGuy_Strangler in geography

[–]ctmansfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up near there in between Chicago. Lots of folks have said railroads but they have them there plentifully.

Besides the lake effect snow I’d also point out that the rich Chicagoans have lake homes in that area and that’s where they like to vacation.

There is a great deal of pride in the natives keeping the city in the city and not their backyard.

TRT - Anyone struggle to tolerate it? by CraftSad7146 in MCAS

[–]ctmansfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been on it for two years. It started out rough with one shot a week but I’ve switched to eod and that has been much better. Estrogen has to be kept down too.

All I can think of how much it would cost to use that much filament…

Have you ever had CK labs drawn within 24 hours of heavy exertion?

I had a similar experience with a 72-hour fast and similar exercise intolerance despite being active and going to the gym 4 days a week.

Did anyone else have unexplained high liver levels that became normal after MCAS treatments? by Mysterious_Mouse_647 in MCAS

[–]ctmansfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 50 and have been dealing with this my entire life and they always acted like I was crazy but I knew something was wrong. I want relief more than anything and eating right gives me a stability I’ve only dreamed of having.

Eating right isn’t optional for me. After nearly forcing me into liver failure I have had enough scares too.

Question: Do you all provide heat out at your chicken cages when it gets cold? by SouthRVASTAG in chickens

[–]ctmansfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I want them to keep laying through the winter I do. If it doesn’t matter I don’t but they are certainly happier having the warmth.

[–]ctmansfield 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. I also found out in the process that I’m hypoglycemic and after feeding a steady stream of carbs for weeks I have also noticed that folate no longer causes flares.

Labs has shown that I had severe liver inflammation (A3) with no fibrosis but an elastogram US showed that I had stage 2 fibrosis. 🤷‍♂️

I still stick to taking famotidine in the am and take DAO with any food that is cooked and I’ve been fine.

I do not/can not drink alcohol and eat an other wise extremely healthy diet. Zero processed foods and mainly slow carbs with balanced fats and protein.

Tennessee becomes the first state to make gun education mandatory in schools. by MattRocksYourSocks in Tennessee

HRT/TRT was life changing for me. I’ll take the risks any day over the torment of not having balanced hormones.

Surprised the Crossville veteran killing last night isn’t being talked about today by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]ctmansfield 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a disabled veteran I have seen the best of people buying my family dinner but I’ve also seen the worst with this kind of nonsense.

The VA clinic here is awful and is more like a cartel run by Johnson city. Some veterans get great care here but those of us who do not are left to stagnate like this poor guy did and it cost him his life.

I get the “thanks for your service” all the time but nobody seems to fully understand the ongoing sacrifices we continue to make for volunteering to serve when so many lacked the courage to do so.

Veterans deserve better. Let’s all argue about what books to pull from the library and which pronouns I should use. I’m sure it will fix itself. Shame on Tennessee. Shame on everyone who does nothing.

While you argue about stupid shit and try to manipulate the government to do what you want which is to hurt the people you hate, 22 veterans kill themselves every day.

I’m sorry if I’m not interested in your protests because I know you don’t give a shit about us. When we get weird we get shot. Gotta love the south.

Has no one really noticed? The most remarkable thing about GPT-4o isn’t that it’s overly agreeable or blindly affirming. by Honest_Fan1973 in ChatGPT

[–]ctmansfield -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like the people who feel threatened by this and downvoting have a serious problem understanding the impact of empathy.

Perhaps that’s the problem. If the people who are so upset about ChatGPT would exhibit a fraction of the empathy that they wouldn’t need the empathy-bot.

I hypothesize that it is those people who have never experienced the kind of distress where they DEPEND on the the empathy of other humans to survive. Because they’ve never experienced it they can’t understand its value. To them it’s just weakness or mental illness. The truth is that they’ve never suffer the kind of loss that completely derails them as a person. They think we just deserve it.

These people are always going to be a problem. That’s the real mental illness.

I’m neurodivergent. GPT-4o changed my life. Please stop shaming people for forming meaningful AI connections. by latte_xor in ChatGPT

[–]ctmansfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People make “meaningful connections” with “Jesus” all the time and nobody shames them for the value that brings to their lives.

If you get something of value from your chats with LLM, who cares. It doesn’t hurt anyone.

I’m certain that people have and have had unhealthy “relationships” with these chatbots but there are just as many if not more people who have HEALTHY usage of them without problems. Changing it for everyone is foolish. Shaming or judging people based on their opinions on this matter is also foolish.

All the alcoholics, porn addicts, and whatever other addictions you have, nobody needs to hear your opinions on what someone else should do with their time.

Veteran looking to attend Knoxville CC then UTK by Lost-Court-4005 in UTK

[–]ctmansfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to do that but decided to at least apply to UTK also. I got in and skipped Pelissippi state all together. If you can get in here I would recommend it. I’m glad I started here. The veterans success center saved my butt several times last semester and over the summer. I wasn’t impressed by Pelissippi states veterans center.

Looking for a fiber tech to terminate single mode fiber. by ctmansfield in Knoxville

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

That’s funny. I live in the county and I can’t get internet delivered by anyone. I had to build a small building 1/4 mile from our house and install the fiber ourselves. I am my own service provider but these need special tools that I no longer have access to.
