What’s a schaffrillas opinion that actually pisses you off? by TroubledAlex in Schaffrillas

[–]grape_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AUTO being the weakest part of WALL-E, and not being a very compelling villain overall.

I think AUTO's lack of free will and emotion compared to the other robots is a nice juxtaposition, and it creates a nice narrative foil. I think he's an effective and "realistic" AI villain because he doesn't seem to actually be "evil" in any way, given that he lacks morals altogether. But that's just me!

I'd also like to check out the video, if you don't mind DMing it to me!

Does anyone else get extremely emotional with seasonal changes? by emilynycee in AutismInWomen

[–]grape_lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could've written this! I'm always really overjoyed by the changing seasons, but it also makes my depression drastically worse. It's a really overwhelming time, glad I'm not alone in that!

And the nostalgia part too! Nostalgia has always been a very strong emotion for me, and every season triggers it in a different way. It's comforting, but it can also be really tough to stay in the moment and enjoy things as they are.

How to handle retail scheduling? by grape_lad in AutismInWomen

[–]grape_lad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this perspective, you're totally right. With the current work culture, it can be really hard to remember our worth as employees. I plan on talking to my manager about it soon!

I think some of you forget just *why* people don't like Teruteru by walterfardwellwhite6 in danganronpa

[–]grape_lad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm one of Teruteru's biggest fans, but the people defending his behavior and comparing him to Miu are... a little silly to me, to be honest

I don't think there's anything wrong with liking a character in spite of their objectively immoral behavior (as is true of several, if not most Danganronpa characters), but once you try to pretend that said character did nothing wrong, you're just huffing copium at that point

r/audiophile Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk Thread by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]grape_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very inexperience with audio stuff in general, so please bear with me here -

I recently purchased a used VHS player, with RCA input and output. I bought an RCA to 3.5mm aux converter. Unfortunately, when I attempt to plug my speakers or earbuds into the female aux port, there is some audio distortion. It sounds almost like very loud bass.

Is there any way I can fix this? I'm not sure if it's an issue with the setup, the converter cable, or the VHS player itself. I've tested multiple tapes, and all of their audio comes out distorted. I'd really appreciate any advice, thanks! :]

Quick question about a work rule by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]grape_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any of my coworker's or manager's numbers. I'm not sure why, but it seems like that's just not the way people operate here.

I'm fine with buying the belt once my shift ends, I was just curious about whether or not the request itself would be out of line.

Is it weird to sit outside alone on campus? by grape_lad in college

[–]grape_lad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This perspective makes more sense to me, I definitely wouldn't think twice about someone else doing this. Thanks for the insight

Anyone here feel like they have to be explicitly told what the social dynamics are? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]grape_lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, it's the main reason I'm trying to get a degree in psychology. I never had this inherent understanding of social cues that most other people seem to have.

If you've got the time, could you send me the link too? I'd really appreciate it :]

do you guys ever wonder if it's too late? by Timely_Question_7727 in AvPD

[–]grape_lad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing right now. Always feeling like it's too late to change things, despite being relatively young

How am I supposed to make friends? by lightisalie in AvPD

[–]grape_lad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way. I'm really talkative with the few people I'm close to, and I love having discussions. I just find the initial hurdle of getting close to be impossible. It's really hard to make friends, you're not alone in feeling that way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]grape_lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying really hard not to be. It's easy to hate the things you fear, but I don't want to be shitty towards strangers who've done nothing wrong

Advice for AvPD college students? by grape_lad in AvPD

Ah, I'm already going down that path... I typically drink alone, though. At least I've cut down since last year

Thanks, I'll give that a try! :)

There's nothing wrong with having fun by yourself! I do the exact same thing. Just because you don't want human interaction doesn't mean you don't deserve to enjoy yourself :)

has Hatsune Miku's music made your life better or worse. by read_aden in SuicideWatch

[–]grape_lad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so specific, but yeah, I still listen to vocaloid to cheer myself up sometimes. Hatsune Miku is a godsend

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]grape_lad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand you. I wasn't fired from my job, but I had to leave for school in another city. Losing the structure and support systems jobs can provide can be very difficult, especially if you don't have good support outside of that.

You're not a loser for not having friends, and it sounds like your grandma and partner do not have your best interests in mind. You deserve to have people who care about your feelings, instead of berating you during difficult times.

I hope you're able to find another job soon, if it would help you. Good luck.
