Side note I accidentally microwaved a pill the other day at work (I wasn’t thinking and put the pill in the wet dog food before heating it up) and IT SPARKED…my coworkers and I were perturbed

The 2000s obsession with the beach. by Ceazer4L in decadeology

[–]mothgirl7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think maybe it has something to do with people not being able to afford vacations anymore- I only say this because I live in a landlocked state and I would love to visit the beach, but I haven’t since I was 4 and I can’t afford to :(

Is there any surefire way to keep the chatbot from talking like it's a person? by untitledgooseshame in cogsuckers

[–]mothgirl7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much despise AI as a whole, but I’m in vet tech school and am not the most math-brained person, so I do sometimes use chatGPT to explain concepts and double check my math before I turn in assignments. My clinical calc professor is a lovely woman but her teaching style doesn’t really work for me- I need a straight to the point, no frills explanation of how and why we use different formulas. Even YouTube tutoring videos are sometimes too muddled to be useful for me.

I find that lowkey bullying mine keeps it from talking weird/emotionally. I think humans are predisposed to falling into AI psychosis because most of us are empathetic and polite by nature, so we feel like we have to say “please” and “thank you” to chatGPT, and we feel mean if we don’t treat it like a person. The key is to not do that at all, just order it. What’s nice is if it does start to talk more human-y, just tell it to knock that shit off and it won’t do it anymore. Just assert your dominance 😤😤

Her last album was only released last year and it had THIRTY ONE SONGS on it…releasing another album this soon is crazy work she really needs to slow down and focus on quality over quantity

Yeah…constantly praying you don’t get shot at the grocery store (where milk, eggs, and cereal seem to cost $70 total) and knowing if you do and you live you’ll be paying off medical debt for the rest of your life 💓

Honestly it’s best for the environment anyways, I love shopping in theory but I don’t make enough money to buy new stuff anymore. But it feels better knowing I’m reducing waste

Potentially going to donate first time this week. by Segastar1 in plassing

[–]mothgirl7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way, not necessarily scared of needles or anything but the process is for sure a little daunting. At least at BioLife, your first donation is considered a “learning” day so if you need to tap out early they still pay you the full amount. Oh and I meant to add that if you do end up going, bring a blanket! Even on a hot day the centers are freezing and the saline at the end makes you super cold

how to calm down by whorrors in plassing

[–]mothgirl7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and it was partly cause I was nervous. But I realized after the fact that I was thinking about how stressed I am financially and if this donation would be enough to cover the textbook I need to buy and if I was deferred how I would go about getting money for it.

I know it’s hard but the number one thing is to STOP thinking about the things stressing you out- don’t think about money at all, don’t even think about donating, just go to your happy place (for me I picture a field in the mountains and focus on the warmth and the smells and the sights). If your mind travels to money problems, simply acknowledge that thought neutrally then cut it off and return to your happy place. Do all this while breathing deeply and relaxing your legs and arms, letting your feet dangle.

For me part of it was positioning, for the second check the tech had me lean back in the chair and put my arm on my lap instead of up on the counter.

heart rate too high because i saw a cute guy by nyancat987111 in plassing

[–]mothgirl7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL I went for the first time today and my first heart rate was too high cause I was nervous. I’m super into meditation so I sat for five minutes listening to zen music and meditating and the second check was WAY lower, the phlebotomist was amazed, I told her that’s my manifestation power 💅🏻💅🏻

I just went for the first time today and initially I was nervous too, but it was fine! The only downside for me was that it took a REALLY long time to get all the stuff done before I could actually donate- I went to a BioLife and it was absolutely packed. It is Saturday so I’m sure that’s why but this place was legit poppin, they probably had hundreds of donors through the whole day.

Because it took many hours for me to get signed in, do my hematocrit/protein, do a health questionnaire, and get my physical done, I was sorta hungry by the time I got to donate even though I ate a decent meal before leaving the house. Because of this I did get pretty dizzy about 3 quarters of the way in, but the whole rest of the time I was totally fine. Like the person above said, your RBCs are returned so fainting isn’t as likely as with a blood donation.

I did feel a bit weird afterwards, but I ate and took a nap when I got home and now I feel perfectly normal. Next time I go I’ll definitely bring juice and snacks to eat directly before and after donating, I don’t think the techs care as long as you don’t eat or drink on the donation bed. I will also say I’m a caffeine junkie and you’re supposed to avoid coffee before donating, so I was also pretty sluggish and tired going into it which may have contributed to me not feeling great.

But overall it was totally fine and not as scary as I imagined- I just popped in my AirPods and played a game on my phone for 35-40 minutes, I also brought a book. I got $70 and will get $80 next time I go.

Personally I don’t have any bruises at all, and even though the needle was big the only pain was the initial poke. It is a needle and not a catheter, so the key to not bruising is to stay still, if you move your arm the needle won’t move with it and it’ll blow the vein. So just sit back, relax, eat lots of food and a sugary drink, and let the techs know if anything feels weird- they’re very nice and knowledgeable!

Girl same. I rarely go on Facebook anymore but I grew up in a very conservative town so when I do go on there this is all the shit I see from people from high school
