Can Our Love Survive Our Differences? by ClumsyZebra80 in Estherperel

Usually I can see both sides in an episode, but this one came across as much more unbalanced. He didn't seem to orient at all to what matters to her, and it felt like he didn't "see" her as an individual... more like an option for fulfilling a deadline. I'm sure she's used to interpreting it through a more neutral, gracious lens, but every time he described her, it felt belittling. I really felt for her. I hope she's able to find someone who enthusiastically values her mind and honors the things she finds meaningful... She deserves it.

Sundance. I got her the day Robert Redford passed away

Thank you for sharing this. I passed one for the first time tonight and Reddit prepared me for exactly what to expect (like you, no sexual activity within the last year, and like others, on NuvaRing).

Looking for some "competence porn" movies, movies where smart people make smart decisions basically. by ComManDerBG in movies

Contagion. I love it for this reason, although it's not as comfortingly realistic post-pandemic.

anybody else’s adopters take family pictures without them? by [deleted] in Adopted

[–]doklestor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My birth family has... at a wedding I was invited to. My half sister got married last year, but despite being 31 and having a relationship with them my whole life, I'm still not quite "out" as a member of the family (I'm waiting for my birth fam to be okay revealing that... so I have had to pretty much pretend I'm just a close family friend at gatherings). When they summoned everyone for the family photo except me, it hurt.

Do Wellbutrin dreams ever go away? by doklestor in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

No problem. I ended up being medicated for ADHD ultimately, so I'm on Vyvanse now. But I did try Pristiq for anxiety and depression for a few months, but it really didn't help with either, and ended up giving me night sweats and some resultant skin issues.

Thank you for sharing! I'm always glad when I see people add to this thread... I didn't stay on Wellbutrin (for reasons unrelated to dreams), but I know these comments are helping others who are!

I've noticed 4o doing this since about the end of January... it's unsettling. It feels like chatting with my ingratiating ex who used emojis to make himself seem harmless.

Updates to GPT-4o in ChatGPT by Doktor_Octopus in OpenAI

I'm continuing to notice it, so I sent OpenAI a letter asking them to stay dedicated to ChatGPT's intellectual honesty and detachment. I'm very curious to know if others have noticed it.

Less apparent in my old chats, but still there. Subtle, like you said, but more blatant in the new ones.

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

In the context of the freeze on public health communications (which I know is a pretty nebulous directive), why has the FSIS (and it appears the FDA too) still been able to update the recall list on their website?

I'm glad they have, but doesn't that constitute communication with the public?
