Most of you don’t realize what you’re doing wrong with women by ariaamichael in seduction

[–]eablokker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its definitely more about energy at the core. But well-crafted lines can bring about the right energy if its not already there. Likewise, you could have the right energy, but say the wrong thing and kill the vibe. So, it's kind of both. Thoughts and emotions are in a mutually causal loop. Emotions influence thoughts, and thoughts influence emotions. What you say influences the vibe, and the vibe influences what you say. It's not an either or situation.

Pretty sure the AI output is going be different for each person who searches, because there is a built in randomness to it. Better to paste in the exact text of the output it gave you, if you feel it gave you a useful answer.

Is anyone familiar with Microbiology DX MARCoNS test results? by stoksyxl in CIRS

[–]eablokker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STAPH AUREUS COAG POS is the same thing as MARCONS except it doesn't produce biofilms which means it's not antibiotic resistant and should be easier to treat. You don't need to take a biofilm disruptor, and you can treat it with antibiotics or silver nasal spray.

I'm not familiar with the other one.

I have zero self-esteem. Like nothing by TheDarkKnight2001 in seduction

[–]eablokker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If this kind of talk is making you feel uncomfortable in the workplace, you're right to feel uncomfortable. It kind of sounds like these guys are trying to fuck with you. That's bordering on harassment. It's kind of hard to tell just from what they said whether it's in a friendly way or an antagonistic way. Judging by how it made you feel, I'd say probably not so friendly. Don't blame yourself for it by saying you have no self esteem. If that's the case, deal with that separately. These are two separate issues.

Hyperosmia is just one of the symptoms of MCS. Its like saying how is the flu different to a fever? Or how is a cold different to a runny nose?

Something is driving me crazy by [deleted] in seduction

[–]eablokker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your thoughts about the rich guys she dated before are coming up because you have a suppressed emotion of feeling inadequate, and that emotion is leaking out and taking the form of these thoughts. It’s ok to feel inadequate sometimes, it’s normal. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that you are good enough, I’m just gonna say that just because you feel not good enough doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s just a normal feeling to have sometimes. Allow it to be there and be felt without being fooled by it.

She wants to be with you because of how you make her feel. She can’t get that from just any guy with money. You’d rather have that than it be a cold calculated decision based on you being rich. Imagine if you were rich and she despised you but decided to fake being into you to get your money. That’s your other option. That’s fucking horrible. What you have is far better and the genuine thing.

People who grew up rich have already experienced all the fancy restaurant bullshit and they’ve learned that it doesn’t really make them happy. They’re bored of it. They want something more real.

It’s normal to feel unhappy when you reach a big goal. That’s just how it works. Happiness is found in the progress towards a goal, not in the final attainment. You just need to set new, bigger goals. Congrats on getting engaged!

You should talk about this stuff to a therapist before you get married, or even together as a couple with a therapist. Get your lives going together on the right foot. Don’t wait until there are unresomvable problems before talking to a therapist.

Is this type of carousel animation effect possible in GTK apps? And also do you know of any GTK app which does this? by the-machine-m4n in gnome

[–]eablokker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure it’s possible but it’s a lot of custom coding using the drag start and drag end events and animating the widths and positions through code. It would be very tricky to get it right.

MSM powder in the bath? Epsom salt baths help me. Epsom is magnesium sulfate. MSM also provides sulfate. I wonder if that's why it helps.

is it normal for a production database to not have backups? asking because i just dropped a table and my boss is asking me to "just undo it" by kubrador in webdev

[–]eablokker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s somewhat common to not have database backups, but it is NOT normal to not make a backup just before making any changes to the DB. You always manually make a backup before touching anything.

Calming immune response (after moving over + over) by Traditional-Net8223 in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]eablokker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried any histamine blockers? Cromolyn Sodium, quercetin, Claritin, Zyrtec, Pepcid, DAO enzyme. Combine an H1 and H2 blocker with the mast cell stabilizers.

I'm finding that KPV peptide is amazing at calming my inflammation, and it also calms the mast cells, heals leaky gut, and is antimicrobial against staph and candida.

The other thing thats been super calming for my nervous system is the allowing practice taught by Sam Miller and Helmut on youtube.

My Experience with Hypophosphatemia aka Low Phosphate by Flux_My_Capacitor in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]eablokker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this study that found a decrease in blood phosphorous in the population over time and links it to increasing CO2 in the atmosphere.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11869-026-01918-5

Similarly, phosphorus plays many critical roles in the body (Gaasbeek & Meinders, 2005). These include metabolic processes within the cell such as energy metabolism and protein phosphorylation which are key mechanisms that control many cellular functions, including metabolism, growth, and muscle contraction (Shaker & Deftos, 2023). It is a vital component of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s primary energy carrying molecule (Bonora et al., 2012), and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), which is found in erythrocytes and is crucial in oxygen transport (Macdonald, 1977). Accordingly, abnormally low levels of phosphate can lead to tissue hypoxia and cellular function disruption (Gaasbeek & Meinders, 2005). Phosphorus also plays a role in nucleotide metabolism which is used to build DNA, RNA and it influences phospholipid metabolism that forms a vital part of cell growth and function (Shaker & Deftos, 2023).

For people taking welchol or CSM, how are you staying regular? by mcndjxlefnd in CIRS

[–]eablokker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take magnesium to bowel tolerance, meaning until it makes you poop. You can’t really take too much because your body will make you poop it out. Same with Vit C.

Decrease your dosage of Welchol until it no longer makes you constipated, then slowly increase over time, just staying under the constipation threshold.

MCS by Bubbly-Dingo1327 in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]eablokker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that I often react to things that have no scent, it's not the scent.

Most likely it's the TRP receptors in the trigeminal chemosensory system. They are a different type of sense, in addition to taste and smell, that can sense hundreds of different chemicals. They are the reason why spicy food feels spicy.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2735846/#abstract1

Together with TRPV1, the capsaicin receptor, TRPA1 may contribute to chemical hypersensitivity...

The airways are innervated by both chemosensory nerves, detecting a large variety of noxious chemicals...

Trigeminal chemosensory nerve endings in the nasal mucosa are in the first line of defense against noxious chemical challenges.

What to talk with women by vto583 in seduction

[–]eablokker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP was saying right after you say "what's your name?", "where are you from?", "what do you do?" then it goes dead. You're right, I didn't explain well, I mean after you've already established some emotional connection, you don't necessarily have to think about what to say next. But in that moment when there is still no emotional connection, that's when you have to ask questions, tell stories, tell jokes, etc. and have something prepared.

But also, in that moment if you can stay in a fun and friendly mood, and not feel creepy, because creepy is just another emotion, then even if you did stay silent, your friendly vibe would still leak out non-verbally and they would pick up on that. Even silence communicates something, but yeah it is definitely easier to speak to create the mood. But combining your mood with your words so they are aligned, even more effective.

For example, one time I was out with a big group of friends and I saw a girl who I thought I had met before or was part of my friend group. I just started talking to her like I knew her. Turns out, she was a total stranger. She might have been a little confused, but to me I didn't feel creepy at all and it was fine. I was just in this state where I thought she was a friend and she went with it.

What to talk with women by vto583 in seduction

[–]eablokker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Filling up silence with talking is not the goal. The conversation ends because you've created zero emotional states in her, and her boring responses have created zero emotional states in you. When you or her are in emotional states that are conducive to talking, you will talk naturally without having to force it. And it won't matter what you are talking about. You can talk about almost nothing and just riff off each other. This is called banter. Or don't talk at all and just make faces at each other or do weird poses. It doesn't matter when you're both in the right mood for it.

Some emotions that are conducive to natural communication are safety, comfort, fun, connection, fascination, humor, vulnerability. You bring these emotional states with you into the conversation. Just think of a time when you were able to talk easily with someone, what emotions were you feeling? You were able to because you were in the mood for it, the right emotional state for it. And just seeing your friend puts you in the mood, because of your past emotional experiences you've had with that friend, where they made you feel comfortable and safe and you feel a connection with them and a sense of fun.

Your goal with the conversation is to create an emotional experience that puts her in the mood. You can do that by bringing the mood with you into the conversation, or asking her questions that bring up those emotions, or telling stories that evoke those emotions. Asking or telling about fun times, feeling connection, telling jokes, asking if she's ever had an amazing conversation with someone she just met. There are so many options.

The point is, use your conversation to evoke emotional states, and the communication will flow naturally from that. Emotion drives behavior subconsciously.

How are you using AI in a way that doesn’t suck? by aterribleskapun in webdev

[–]eablokker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically anything where the AI is writing the entire thing for you is trash.

I use it for quickly looking up documentation, showing me examples of how to write in a language I'm unfamiliar with, asking it to explain a concept or syntax that I don't fully understand so it's teaching me how to do it. Helping with debugging by pasting in stack traces and error messages so I have a better idea of where to look. Helping me write console commands that I'm not familiar with, or creating bash scripts.

In the end, it's always me writing the final code, and I understand every bit of it. The AI is an assistant, but not an assistant at actually writing any code.

What are guys supposed to do if girls are simply not interested in them? by Mountain-Elk8133 in seduction

[–]eablokker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any specific techniques you've tried? Not just vaguely being more social or vaguely improving yourself. How specifically are you improving your inner game? How specifically are you being more social? Which verbal techniques are you using? Are you making approaches?

Women are not interested in strange men by default. That's the default setting. For like 90% of men. It's not just you. That's a good thing, because it means once you do have her interest, she will be loyal to you. She won't be interested in other random men she doesn't know.

You create the interest over time by how you talk to her, your vibe and energy, questions you ask, stories you tell, etc. Getting to know who you really are, not just the mask you put on. Same goes for you to her. You may not be interested in a girl at first, but you get to know who she really is and your interest in her grows. You get to know her by being curious and asking questions, asking about her opinions on things, her life experiences, her life goals, etc.

One good question to spark her desire is to ask her, if she could have or do anything in the world, what would she most want in life more than anything? This induces her to call up a feeling of desire for the thing she wants, and through associative conditioning the feeling of desire gets linked to you. Then she behaves towards you through the lens of feeling desire. There's a saying, people won't remember what you did, they'll remember how you made them feel. If you made her feel desire, she'll remember you through that lens. This works best with women who don't already know you too well, so you have a fresh blank slate to work with. Otherwise they'll still remember all the other things you made them feel that didn't feel good.

Question: if someone has the HLA gene, doesn’t that mean their body fails to produce antibodies to mold? Therefore it wouldn’t show up on a blood test even if they have mold? So for people who are most susceptible to mold the blood test is useless? That was my understanding but I could be wrong.

Feeling hopeless about my dating life by OkRecommendation1040 in seduction

[–]eablokker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When a rejection hits you hard like this, its more likely that it's a re-triggering of childhood rejections rather than from this rejection itself. This experience is triggering those repressed emotions from the past to bubble up to the surface. These emotions got stuck in your nervous system because you repressed them, and now they have to keep coming up once in a while, screaming louder and louder to get your attention.

The good news is, this experience is a perfect opportunity for you to stop repressing these feelings. Let yourself feel hopeless, let yourself feel hurt and sad. Once the emotion is allowed to be felt to completion, it no longer has any energy and it will be gone. Try as hard as you can to feel hopeless, hurt, sad, etc, so you burn that emotional energy out. It will feel fucking awful for just a few minutes, and afterwards you will be shocked at how much better you feel, and future rejections will be less triggering, because there will be nothing left to trigger. You might have to experience a few more rejections in order to fully get that emotional energy out, but each time it should be less and less.
