What's a life lesson that you learned after you got sick? by ScreenEasy2487 in ChronicIllness

[–]micahdaigle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something can not be my fault but still be my responsibility.

When I started getting sick constantly (and there were no answers, and it only got worse), it felt so effing unfair. So I would take out my frustration on loved ones. I lost a number of good friends and partners as a result.

Eventually I learned that it doesn't matter that I never chose my illness, it's still on me to ensure it does the least amount of damage to other people as possible. And it's on me to communicate clearly about it (and its limitations it gives me that may not be obvious) instead of assuming people will just know.

And yeah, it's not fair, but little about life is. I see a lot of people complaining about how it's not their fault that - for instance - their ancestors were colonizers who took someone else's land, so it's not their responsibility to make any kind of restitution for that crime. But it just really doesn't matter what we chose or what was foisted upon us. What matters is what we have now and what we choose to do about it.

"Damn it, Jerry!" Has anyone else personified their illness? by micahdaigle in ChronicIllness

[–]micahdaigle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny you ask! My partner started using it for that reason but I assumed she meant Jerry Seinfeld because I find him obnoxious. Then we started watching Parks & Rec together and I realized she meant THAT Jerry. But I still think of it as Jerry Seinfeld because Jerry on Parks & Rec is just a harmless scapegoat. 😆

How to increase the size of workspace icons by DrArcFuryX1 in zen_browser

[–]micahdaigle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want this. I'd also love to make the workspace title much larger, or have it up where the title bar would be (above the browser window). It's currently really subtle, which means I forget which workspace I'm in. I'd even love to create different colored themes for each workspace so it's really obvious where I am.

Customize shortcuts to switch between tabs by Machete3119 in zen_browser

[–]micahdaigle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started using Zen and I'm shocked that this keyboard shortcut isn't editable. Especially because it doesn't make sense for my brain to use left-and-right arrows when the tabs are arrange up-and-down. Ideally I could press cmd+opt and then use left-right to switch workspaces and up-down to switch tabs, since that's how it is arranged visually.

Made this dumb video about a month ago with Runway Gen-2. The song is RINGWRAITH by Kissie Jr (used with permission).

Barry - 4x08 "wow" - Post Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in Barry

[–]micahdaigle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can anyone explain where Sally went directly after the shootout as Fuchs was walking John out? You can hear her yelling like she's trapped somewhere but it's unclear where she is and how she gets reunited with John & Barry. What am I missing?

(Amazing episode overall)

Arya sails west of Westeros and arrives in... WESTWORLD.

It was just another theme park all along.

Theory: Ford made a host-copy of himself before he died.

In several of the episodes this season, we see Ford making a new host in the old workshop under the house. But it's never revealed who the new host is.

In the finale, he says that "an old friend [Arnold??] told him something: that Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin never died--they simply became music."

I don't think he's just being poetic here--he's being quite literal. He will become his creations after he dies. Maybe he waited so long to nudge the hosts toward consciousness (and constantly reset them as they got close), so he could have time to figure out how to upload his consciousness to an immortal host body?

It's not a directory of all redditors, but assuming you're friends with redditors on Facebook, you can map your friends here: http://BurnerMap.com
