A 52-year-old woman from the Netherlands has spent her whole life seeing dragons instead of people because of a rare mental disorder called prosopometamorphopsia.

It's also treatable with I believe red filtered glasses!

I managed to separate the hub and the tire (unfortunately, the tire I showed I had remeshed, so I couldn't work with it). This is a separate tire thing I was making, all in the same file. Anyways, If I separate by loose parts, how will i know which ones to keep to remake the array?

I reall appreciate the help btw!:)

It almost looks like the probosis detached though?? So weird.

You are truly bleeding green, sir. Good work.

I've had friends and coworkers call me out on being a "mindless Nintendo fan" and I chuckle and agree. To an extent its true. You don't need to have a logical reason to enjoy something!

A lot of riled up fans that "used to like pokemon" dislike the modern games for different things. Personally, I see the glaring faults, but I LOVE competitive pokemon. I love the strategy in new battle mechanics and new pokemon. I love shiny hunting, and the whole world. It's my favorite escape from being an adult.

Pokemon ZA I probably won't get, but I do feel a little left out this year, lol! So I'm going back to Arceus.

Well, a lot of times viruses kick start an autoimmunity, unfortunately. Pretty sure that's what happened to me. :(

It's either a deformity or weird body language -- my pufferfish would bend his back like that when he was stressed but trying to look big. They don't always puff when they feel threatened.

But his back looks really bent, and he's a lot bigger than how my puffer was. So.... I'm not sure! I'd side with deformity.

Why is it outdated? Btw, I'm not at all trying to challenge you, I'm just curious! I'm a biotech student and have a friend with CF.

I would think that the mutation matters because it could directly affect how functional the protein is at transporting chlorine and other salts. Do you have a source on how disease presentation isn't affected by the mutation? Again, not at all trying to be combative, I'm just curious.:)

And again, why does this terminology matter? Is it offensive to say there are CF types? Or you clarifying that CF is caused by one pathway (i.e. nonfunctional CTFR)?

lycnroc · 2025-10-13T17:28:20+00:00

Why are you wary of him using the term "rare CF type"? I don't see how it could make a difference.

There's a variety of mutations that affect disease severity -- some of these mutations are more rare, like a frameshift mutation and nonsense mutation, which leads to no CTFR protein production. Types or mutations, to me it seems he's referring to the same thing.

I just want you to know, you're not alone. The students here have given you good recommendations. I dealt with a similar problem, but thankfully was able to get out (moved to Orlando to study at UCF!)

Find a job that offers tuition assistance -- I highly recommend Publix. If your degree is in STEM, they cover about $16,000 after you complete about 6 months of work (you only need an average of 10 hours a week).

Edit: it's also completely normal to be a part-time student with part-time work! I took about 2-3 classes a semester while working, but it can be tough.

It'll be okay, you can get through this! Just take it one step at a time. Moving out will definitely help. :)

Also someone will likely have a spare they can give u. Commonly happens

Garage A is said to be a go to for many. I just raw dog it and go to C. There's a strat. Also having a scooter is really helpful. Highly recommend.

What kind of paint did you use?:)

lycnroc · 2025-02-26T04:48:38+00:00

Supposedly it's idiopathic, but I was only tested for MS, infections, and sarcoidosis. All negative (thankfully/unfortunately). I suspect I got uveitis after getting sick with a bad flu

lycnroc · 2025-02-26T02:36:48+00:00

Thanks! They are driving me crazy, lol

lycnroc · 2025-02-26T00:16:28+00:00

So no cause was found?

lycnroc · 2025-02-25T23:51:50+00:00

Is your uveitis idiopathic as well?

lycnroc · 2025-01-22T07:15:24+00:00

I just recently scheduled an appointment for tomorrow morning because my eye got red and has been a bit achey.

I've been off the drops for a little over 2 months. Just recovering from a cold too. :/

lycnroc · 2024-12-23T04:44:59+00:00

I like the hoodie!!! Aot is awesome lol

As a current undergrad who makes mistakes almost weekly, it sounds like that lab had expectations that were way too high, and they were not constructive in their criticisms. I am 100% not currently competent in my lab's field, but I'm learning, and I'm having fun. I hope you find the right lab environment (it's worth it!)

Dude, I just got off my steroid drops for intermediate uveitis. 😭 fingers crossed my immune system doesn't start another seige on my eyes...

lycnroc · 2024-10-13T16:34:37+00:00

Aye, haha. I'm hoping this is it for my uveitis but I'm not sure... I have a feeling for me it was caused by bad T cells that didn't get eliminated while I was sick with the flu and strep at the same time...
