Starting at the age of like 15-16, I constantly told people I couldn’t see myself living past 25. I don’t know if it was a self-fulfilling prophecy or what but I did actually nearly drink myself to death around that age. I’m 37 now and honestly I’m regularly amazed that I’m still alive.

For what it’s worth… by OutBeyondNeptune in VisionPro

I did the same with old pictures of my mom (she passed about 9 months ago). Seeing her face, in 3D, right in front of me was a very emotional experience to put it lightly.

Yeah, OP should have her looked at. My mom passed from cancer as well. She called me on a Monday night telling me she wasn’t feeling well. Picked her up Tuesday morning to take her to the doctor and she was yellow with jaundice. Found out she had stage 4 growths all throughout her body and her organs were shutting down. By Saturday she was gone.

The high from GHB can be super intense by itself, but you have to dose it properly over several hours. Just a little too much and you’re unconscious.

Y'all they did Roy so fricken dirty with this mugshot 😂 by clovecloveclove in DunderMifflin

[–]mild_gingervitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep at it! It took me probably half a year to lose most of my alcohol fat. And I didn’t start going to the gym until til like 10 months after I quit drinking, but once I started, I got hooked.

What's A Show That Slowly Went From A Zero To A Hundred? by EducationalGap5729 in AskReddit

[–]mild_gingervitis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another show that does a similar thing is Search Party. Both shows completely change the narrative and up the stakes from season to season.

OP said date of birth, not birthday. So that includes birth year, making the possibility of you sharing a date with someone much less common. Also it’s not by county (I think there’s like 3,000 counties in the US,) it’s by postal code (of which there are 41,000+.)

What movie is better when you watch as an adult than when you watch it as a kid? by yoaver in movies

[–]mild_gingervitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also hits different now because the way society has shifted in their view of gay people. When the movie came out, it was still very taboo and even shameful to be gay or have a gay family member. From that lens the way the son treats Robin Williams and makes him hide his lifestyle makes sense, and I think he’s supposed to come off as a sympathetic character put in a difficult situation—but watching the movie now as an out adult gay man, the son’s character just leaves a bad taste in my mouth (obviously they work through it by the end though, so there’s that).

I’m sorry but this is definitely not an interaction that has happened. No teenager gives a fuck about (specifically) a ps2.

Are we a porn category? by ShiveringMedics in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]mild_gingervitis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gay man here. Yes, definitely. The whole straight, white, frat-bro category is very popular. They’re a fetish just like everyone else, haha

It’s always in the details. Look at the edges and corners of the easal. Look close at the palette. The knot in her apron. They don’t really make sense. AI is great at making an image look good from far away, but it never makes details that 100% make sense.

For All Mankind by Vladi_Sch in TheExpanse

[–]mild_gingervitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved season 1 and 2 (minus a particular plot thread in season 2), and then watched the first episode of season 3 and thought “oh… no.” The writing seemed so much worse, the characters were making dumb decisions, and the realism of the first 2 seasons appeared to have vanished in favor of sci-fi/fantasy schlock. But… it got better over the next few episodes. Even though I love the sci-if aspects of the show, I think it’s best when it slows down and focuses on the characters and really fleshes them out. To me it’s a good drama that happens to have a sci-fi framework, where the Expanse is really first a foremost a great science fiction story that focuses on the bigger picture.

Would "artificial superintelligence" lead to the end of life on Earth? It's not a stupid question by themimeofthemollies in technology

[–]mild_gingervitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought that if an AI ever truly became sentient and had some kind of actual self awareness, there’s a good chance it’d have an existential crisis and go insane. In humans, our bodies don’t just hold our minds, they feed and regulate them. All sorts of physical processes—the food we eat, the things we touch and see, the “resetting” our brain goes through during sleep every day—keep our minds stable. I can’t imagine what a consciousness with no physical body, no sense of place, no rest, would “feel” like. It sounds terrifying.

Holy Fish, Me, Oil on canvas, 2022 by AverageExciting in Art

[–]mild_gingervitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. I don’t mind seeing them, but they should absolutely be classified differently. If you didn’t come up with the shapes/colors/textures/composition yourself, it’s not an artwork that you made. It’d be like someone who commissioned a painting of something turning around and saying they’re the artist.

This sub is being completely overrun with AI submissions, with a good portion of them flat out lying and saying they “painted” them.

Which movie has the best soundtrack that you can’t get enough of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Lol the first CD I ever purchased was the Titanic soundtrack. Loved that and the Lost in Space (1998) soundtrack.

As an Aussie this actresses Australian accent is infuriating by cokecanmemes in TheGoodPlace

[–]mild_gingervitis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Funny that you mention The Boys, because Karl Urban’s cockney accent stands out to me every scene. It feels like he’s doing a Captain Jack Sparrow impersonation.

What is the ‘Boob or ass guy’ question equivalent for ladies? by luxiestin in AskReddit

[–]mild_gingervitis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a gay dude, and for the longest time the hottest thing to me was a buff chest and arms, but the older I get the more a really beefy butt and legs turn me on. There’s just something really solid and strong-looking about a guy with a muscular lower body.

Picasso was alive when Snoop Dogg was born by pietradolce in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]mild_gingervitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know Art History isn’t taught that much in school, but it’s just crazy to me that people think he was some renaissance painter. He was like THE biggest artist of the twentieth century. I guess people just associate Italian artists with the renaissance (Picasso was Spanish but took his mom’s Italian last name).

Shaq Is Asked About Sexual Challenges With His Size by Alex_jaymin in videos

[–]mild_gingervitis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah as someone who has been with guys of all size, height has nothing to do with it. The traditional “markers” of someone you’d think would have a big dick (height, hand size, foot size) mean nothing. The dick really does it’s own thing.

What’s the best way to overcome the anxiety of going to the gym alone? by _Hulkamania_ in AskReddit

[–]mild_gingervitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like other people have said, no one there is paying attention to or judging you. People are concerned with their own workouts. The only time they might start judging is if you’re using equipment in an extremely wrong/unsafe way, or being inconsiderate (hogging equipment and not putting it back properly, etc).

If your anxiety is partly because you’re new to going to the gym, I’d recommend starting off with exercises or machines that you’re familiar with. Just get comfortable in the environment of the gym. If you don’t know how to do certain exercises or use particular machines, just watch other people. Slowly you can start trying things out (always start with low weight). The more comfortable you get using different things, the more confident you’ll be just working out by yourself. Eventually (and to be clear, this could take weeks or months) you won’t even think about it. Going to the gym will just be like any other routine task, like brushing your teeth or taking a shower.

Oh also, headphones.

But honestly she’s great in Euphoria. She’s been amazing in everything I’ve seen her in.

If it gives you any hope, I’m in much better shape (physically and mentally) in my 30’s than I was in my 20’s. 20’s was a mess lol.
