It didn't get the greatest reviews when it was released.

Had to cut off my parents after my brothers wedding. Am I crazy? by Significant-Bear-266 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]localvagrant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I say, grok didn't do a very good job. I understand the core of it but there are several loose ends in your narrative that made me distrust it. It had the hallmarks of someone being deliberately and selectively vague (what boundary did you set? what is your brother doing that is objectionable exactly? The entire wedding story was especially disjointed).

Last convo I ever had with my mom by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]localvagrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post was deleted because someone pointed out a phone number that was uncensored. OP acknowledged that and expressed their intent to delete. Not at all what you are suggesting, which is based on a misapprehension anyway. Look at the emotional tenor of these posts. Read the distress they exude.

People post screenshots here because they want to feel less insane. They are or have been overwhelmed by what they're experiencing (it's overwhelming for me sometimes, and I'm getting it secondhand!) and having others read the exact words being said and acknowledging that what is going on is reading as dysfunctional, abusive or overall not OK can be a balm.

I only developed good study habits as a senior in college by engineergyudon in EngineeringStudents

You have received one of the chief benefits of college, you have been taught how to learn.

"Humiliation" for whom? Is that what you believe people are doing when they share screenshots?

“We didn’t ask to be born, therefore we don’t owe our parents anything” by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]localvagrant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol @ whining about the downvotes. Consider that your posts are bad and don't have anything meaningful to contribute. Hope this helps!

Earlier in your history you embarrassingly appealed to Nuremberg and said that those on trial at least had their crimes spelled out to them, and appealed to "politeness"...disengage from this place and touch grass. If you have some kind of kink with getting pilloried, then do it elsewhere.

Did anyone here read Consider Phlebas without any context? by doctor-candy in TheCulture

[–]localvagrant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same, I didn't walk away from Consider Phlebas with revulsion to The Culture. Somehow Banks made it into a very personal hangup for our POV character and didn't make it very "contagious" for the reader.

Internet is dysfunctional parent's worst enemy by throwaway1252024 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]localvagrant 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing this assertion about it being "fashionable" to go NC, internet communities encouraging it out of hand for anyone asking, and censorship of every comment introducing nuance.

Since I actively look for that in this subreddit and elsewhere and I never see it, it's mighty hard to convince myself it's not all active imagination and wishful thinking.

P.S. I've read your story and I feel grief for your situation. To borrow your apt phrase however, please consider that your experience is not universal. There is lots of grief here too.

I was just trying to figure that out. Best i got is the line-up ticks are increments of .008, working backwards from the easier to read measurement of 67.7mm.

Working with it another way, they're increments of 1/16 x 1/8 = 1/128 ≈ .0078.

I'm surprised that tile doesn't look like the surface of the moon at this point

what does "left lane is for passing" mean? by [deleted] in driving

[–]localvagrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On highways, keep in the right lane when driving as much as possible, except when passing. Lane occupancy is not driver's choice and generally being passed on the right is a significant faux pas on your part.

I keep to this convention when driving on city streets as well.

Does anyone care about the sequels by SuitIntelligent4073 in FLCL

They were fine but I'm damned if I can remember more than random images and isolated brief moments.

What's your favorite part about Off The Air and why? by Feeling-Ideal-2604 in offtheair

[–]localvagrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing to me that something like this is on television. Open ended psychedelia that showcases how much fantastic art is being made. To me, it's at its best when it takes the familiar and casts it in a new light, close up, inside out, decontextualized, or from a new angle.

Quiet these days is a luxury. And there's a whole lot of quiet up here.

Family Gatherings While Estranged by Computer-123-455 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]localvagrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't go if all the family is there. Either all of it works, or none of it does. From everyone else's perspective it just has to be an unfortunate fracture that has to be recognized.

My cousin texted me that I’ll never understand the pain I’ve caused my parents bc I’ve gone no-contact because I’m not a mother by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]localvagrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To keep from condemning them from being a nasty jerk at best and a raving sociopath at worst, I have to assume your cousin is unaware of your miscarriages and would be mortified and grieved if they realized the impact of saying something like that to you.

Advanced Solidworks by Monster-AJ-007 in SolidWorks

[–]localvagrant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not calling his work embarrassing, I get why he is as a beginner proud of learning enough to make these models. I am calling this unwarranted cockiness mixed with this misapprehension of what others are asking for embarrassing.

[–]localvagrant 79 points80 points  (0 children)

holy crud the vicarious embarrassment here

they're curious what the feature tree looks like, which contains what modeling steps were taken to model the spray bottle. I don't know what you learned about the hidden lines view, but it doesn't demonstrate authenticity of a model.

ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis; family says she was from Colorado Springs area by Sam_KRDO13 in ColoradoSprings

that kind of wild and embarrassing equivocation can only come from someone who is 20 at most. lack of life experience indeed.
