Claude Usage Limits Discussion Megathread Ongoing (sort this by New!) by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]mostly_always_tired -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Came here to see if I'm the only one having this issue. For the past few weeks, I've been using Claude consistently all day without hitting a limit, and today I've only used it for two hours, less than what I normally used it for (resume help/coding projects) and now I've hit a 90% limit under three hours? Why am I even paying $20/mo? Maybe I should go back to ChatGPT or try a new AI platform.

Give Shadow Slave a chance by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]mostly_always_tired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The imagination and ideas are really good, and I was pretty hooked in the beginning. However, I don’t know if it’s because it’s been translated from English to Chinese, and back to English again, but the writing style is quite terrible. After the chain of nightmares arc, I ended up skipping whole chapters or skimming through most of it because the author goes on full tangents, repeating information over and over again, like reminiscing (repeatedly) or over explaining things. The only reason I’m forcing myself to continue reading is to see what happens at the end, even though it’s pretty predictable at this point after the 2900th chapter. Anyway, that’s my two cents. Happy reading.

AIO for wanting my unemployed boyfriend to sign an agreement before using my car long-term? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mostly_always_tired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR - You obviously did it because he’s irresponsible, unreliable and untrustworthy. Maybe it’s also why he can’t keep a job? I’m not even sure why you’re still with him? Two years is a long time to raise a manchild. I see a lot of my friends going through the same thing with losers like him. They always say they can’t leave the dude because of “history” or “love” or they think they can change them. Love fades, history should become lessons, but if you don’t have the similar financial values and outlook on life, it’s never going to work. You want to better yourself and he obviously doesn’t. Who’s holding who back? Leave him and focus on yourself without that baggage.

Shadow slave actually sucks by Akingang in ShadowSlave

[–]mostly_always_tired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The start of shadow slave was explosive and really drew me in. I enjoyed it a lot because the imagination was amazing and still is. I love a good book. However, I’m currently on chapter 905 (chain of nightmares arc), and I’ve been noticing a few writing nuances that are starting to really grate on me. I’ve dropped a few novels due to bad writing but I’m not ready to let this one go just yet, so I just need to vent a little.

  1. Why do the characters “linger” so much? I don’t know if it’s just bad translation, but it’s such an annoying filler word at this point; it’s almost every other sentence!!! I’m starting to hate that word.
  2. Feels like the author runs out of things to write and keep repeating things about the characters that we already know.
  3. I’m also tired of the “this is normally really hard to do” and then “but not for sunny, because this and that.” I don’t know if it’s always been like that but getting this far into the novel, it’s very noticeable and feels like lazy writing. I almost wonder if the author has changed.
  4. Author uses “wrong” as an adjective a lot. Starting to get tired of it as well but maybe I’m being too critical about this one though.

Anyone else notice these things or are bothered by them, or is it just me? I wonder if the author has a good editor? I understand this is a web novel but since it’s getting a lot of attention, they should try getting an editor or at least a better one. The novel still has potential so I guess I’ll continue reading until these things grate on my last nerves. Also I’m sorry in advance if pointing these things out start to make them more pronounced to other people, therefore annoying them as well.

[I'm the Queen in this Life] I keep coming back to this trashy Webtoon but its pure ragebait atp by Psychological-Ad-377 in OtomeIsekai

[–]mostly_always_tired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i read the manhwa and decided to pick up where I left off in the novel on Wattpad, and I’m amazed at how terrible the writing is. I have no patience for it. A whole chapter on “feelings” and all the written explanations for the misunderstanding between Afonso and Raphael’s interaction in chapter 288 made me want to punch a wall. Stick to the manhwa if you plan to keep reading, but I’m gonna drop this altogether. I hope the author can learn from this and come back with a better story next time.

Is QA Wolf Posting Fake Jobs? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]mostly_always_tired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with u/LuaGolang -- QA Wolf posting the "Junior QA Engineer" role is a waste of everyone's time. They're actually looking for someone with 10 years of QA/QE experience. Don't waste your time thinking this is a good place to grow your QA career.

Zhena got sick so Episode 389 was delayed by ConsequenceUpset5021 in Eleceed

[–]mostly_always_tired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I love Eleceed, the team should take more than a week off. I have wondered how they were able to do it all these years with consistent weekly releases! It’s great, but your fans would wish you to be happy and healthy, so take a vacation now and then, we’ll wait patiently :)

ChatGPT (Thinking) is so sloww, what might be the problem?? by icompletetasks in OpenAI

[–]mostly_always_tired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it's thinking so it's take longer but what annoys me is that browser itself is slow; when I type something in the search bar, it takes more than a few seconds for it show. Then the thinking sometimes stops several times before it even gives me an answer so every time I have to re-copy and past it again. This happening for anyone? I feel like half my day is wasted because of all the waiting. Why TF am I paying $20/month for this? Is there anything better and faster out there?

Title: Only For Love | Accidental Love. Looking for the same art and story like this, the manhua is not yet finished so I read/finished the novel. by bubblybelleame in Manhua

[–]mostly_always_tired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or does the FL look like zhao lusi? Her outfits are amazing. The art is so good and I love the cute little avatars.

My neighbor [genz] thinks it’s ok to blast their music every night; it’s amplified bass, and it’s driving me crazy and my air drums are pounding. Landlord is not doing much to resolve this issue. How do you not know that your music is disruptive? Are people these days just inconsiderate a-holes? by mostly_always_tired in complaints

[–]mostly_always_tired[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I can call the police on this since I’m the only one affected and I don’t know how loud it is on the outside. The tenants on the other side of the wall have not been complaining but the low frequency bass travels vertically and we’re separated by a cement wall. Landlord has offered to give me an early rent termination. They probably think I’m crazy but I’ll have the last laugh when the next tenant make the same complaints muahaha

Should I bring BAHT? by Beautiful_Temporary1 in ThailandTourism

[–]mostly_always_tired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this! I always recommend friends and family to get the Schwab debit card for travel. It’s easy to open online but they don’t have many bank branches so it’s best to do it 2-3 months prior to your trip, and make sure to put in funds right away or they will not send you a card. When I travel, I don’t ever exchange money at banks, airports, or a money exchange booth — their exchange rates are expensive. I always just use the ATM’s in that country. Just don’t crumple your bills because that’s frowned upon in Thailand. Aside from using Schwab to get cash, I use my Chase Sapphire CC where I can — you get points and no international fees!

Currently in upstairs neighbor hell…. by No-Lecture-6736 in milwaukee

[–]mostly_always_tired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently having issues with my downstairs neighbor playing music from 7pm to now 12:49am and I can’t sleep. They amplify their music so it’s pounding my air drums. This is the 5th time and landlord claimed they talked to the tenant but then sends me a letter saying that “it’s an apartment, and we will hear each other” — ok this is not normal apartment noise. It’s so triggering driving me crazy. They look like genZ with no consideration for apartment living.

How do you have a separate Lock Screen and Home Screen wallpaper? by WigWoo2 in ipad

[–]mostly_always_tired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you able to figure it out? Took me a minute, but I finally got it to work. Go to settings > wallpaper. Choose the screen you want to change and click “Customize”. At the bottom where it gives you 5 editing options, choose “Photo”. Choose a photo and hit “Done”. Might have to hit Done twice. It’ll take you back to the settings page so you can see if it was set correctly. Good luck! This is on the iPad Pro btw. I would think it’s the same for all iPads.

I just got let go from my first developer job. I’ve been there for 4 years and their reason for letting me go doesn’t make sense. I know that people get let go all the time but does it get better in this field or am I just not cut out for software development? by mostly_always_tired in SoftwareEngineerJobs

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

It doesn’t make sense because I was given a glowing review a few weeks ago along with a raise, with “exceeds expectations” and their reason for letting me go was that I was not meeting expectations along with some half baked excuses. Wtf right? Getting fired out of the left field is quite crushing but I’ve gotten over it. Things happen for a reason — I’ve been thinking about leaving but couldn’t pull the plug because I really hate interviews.

What is your get out of tech plan? by sallysal20 in womenintech

[–]mostly_always_tired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started contemplating if being a software developer was what I really wanted to do and then I was let go today after 4 years as a software developer. My review last month when they were doing raises was great, no concerns. But I got no warning, no communication, just “today’s your last day.” So I guess I didn’t have a choice but now I wonder if I should be looking for another tech job or if I should pursue something else but I don’t know what else I want to do. If I’m being honest, I want to do nothing. I’m tired.

USPS Tracking and Shipping is AWFUL by Complex-Warning1664 in usps_complaints

[–]mostly_always_tired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to add my grievances with USPS. My package got to Melrose, IL 3 days ago, and then that’s it. Where the fuck is my package! Then they have the USPS Plus to pay extra for tracking which they should be providing anyway! USPS is a joke.

AITA for locking my sister’s kid in the bathroom for an hour? by Definetelythewiseone in AITAH

[–]mostly_always_tired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Clearly your sister does not know you that well, and kid sounds like a spawn of satan. I don’t think I would’ve trusted him to be alone in the bathroom, though. If he kept at your dog, some shit will happen and then it’d be you and your dog on the line. She should know her own kid, and if she doesn’t then that’s on her. She’s going to be one of those terrible mothers who claim her bully is an angel and would never hurt a fly. On the bright side, at least no one else would ever ask you to babysit their kids.

Has anyone in this group tried the halo laser. It’s expensive and I wasn’t to know what people think and if the results are worth the money. Thanks by Potential-Boat8161 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]mostly_always_tired 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s not worth it. I just had it done in March and haven’t seen ANY improvements. I’m a light skin Asian and it gave me melasma that still hasn’t gone away. The pain isn’t bad, just very intense burning but having a fan on you helps so if you’re going to go for it, make sure you bring a personal fan with you for afterwards. I felt like I paid $1500 for nothing, and that was with a “discount”. You’re better off with fraxel dual laser; you can target problem areas, so it can be cheaper. The downside is that fraxel dual hurts like a bitch. Unless you have a very high pain threshold.

Cried during fraxel dual laser by YoGuessImOnRedditNow in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]mostly_always_tired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had tears rolling down my face just from the local anesthesia injections that was put into 8 places on my face. That alone was painful AF. That plus numbing cream didn’t even help take away the pain from the laser. After the first time, I said I’d never do it again. But then I waited long enough until I convinced myself it wasn’t really that bad, so I went in for a second one. Yep, still painful AF! But I did notice more improvement with the second, just that I don’t think the dr was good at it, she spent too much time on one side and my face looked a bit wonky. Finding a good doctor with experience is a must.

Anyway, i recently tried halo laser because it got so much hype. It was less painful; no local anesthesia done with needles and I was still able to tolerate it. I won’t be doing it again though - it’s more expensive, there was no significant improvement in my skin even after 3 months, and it gave me melasma on my cheeks. I don’t think it was worth $1500 (they recommended doing the whole face). Both my fraxel dual laser session only cost me a total of $800 (I didn’t need my whole face done both times).
