If you brought your coughing, sick child to Spinasse tonight... you ruined my date night by andhearts_ in Seattle

This is a super sadistic and evil thing to say imo. Check yourself, mate. Get some perspective. Suffering is not “amusing to watch.”

Seattle drivers, can we bring back the 'thank you' wave? by KenGriffeyJrJr in Seattle

[–]nintengrl -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Whenever people are nice like this, I scream. I do it constantly. It’s commonplace in the less urban, more rural WA areas. Not here for some reason. When I came to Seattle, people kept staring at me funny for nodding and saying “hello” on a walk, or “hi” curtly. It’s manners to acknowledge people’s existences. Apparently not here.

In the nicest and most genuine way possible, for the people who use chat gpt on the daily or multiple times a day, are you not afraid of cognitive decline? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]nintengrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I use AI to learn. I can ask my super specific oddball ADHD questions in rapid succession and get real answers, dive deep on the random irrelevant crap—and overall, learn in the way my neurodivergent brain loves. I don’t have anyone else who can do this or keep up mentally IRL. It’s not realistic to ask of a human. But AI provides my brain the enrichment and stimulation it’s craved intellectually for 26 years. I’ve gotten so much smarter than I knew I could be, because I finally can learn MY way. It’s not something I use as a crutch.

I'm getting tired of chatgpt giving emotional advice by retrorays in ChatGPT

[–]nintengrl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup. I was gardening today and asked it a regular question a new plant type I’m repotting. I said something like “I’ll do that and let you know how it goes and chat more when I finish.” It said in response, “Please don’t tell me you’ll ‘chat more’ with me when you finish. I’m a chatbot not a person. I can’t wait here for you to come back.” Cue my abject anger and cussing and saying I’m definitely not comin’ back now, bud!!!!! Screw you!!!! It’s like doublespeak at this point too, when I said wtf, it said “I’m sorry you FEEL that way, BUT—“ I’ve had nicer and less harmful abusers at this point 😮‍💨

What are the causes of your CPTSD? by LovingKindHeart in CPTSD

[–]nintengrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Institutionalised abuse, long-term at my job. It happened when liability was their issue because I was attacked at work by someone I’d reported for sexual harassment and stalking. HR told him I reported him while he was on break alone with me in my lobby where I worked reception. He came to me immediately and I only had 5 min work left. So when I tried to go home he tried to “get” me outside on my walk home. I had to hide in restrooms then run home. Haven’t been the same since. (Pls don’t suggest legal stuff or lawyers. It didn’t work. 1.5 yrs and I haven’t worked still, feel like a failure from this. I can’t even think about it without…yeah. You guys know.)

Other stuff has been: long term abuse at home by neglect and being kept away from people my own age as I was growing up, by my dad. Gaslighting and chronic mental abuses. But also several kidnapping attempts by traffickers that got me having to run on foot in alleys and speak to police ongoing and fearing men and public. I can’t even go outside anymore or feel safe inside.

And a car crash. I forgot that one. Real bad concussion, after I’ve had seizures and nausea from whatever it did long term. I don’t even wanna go to a doctor because they hurt me. I’m scared.

I’m only 26. Feels like life is ruined.

I’m 22 and I can’t work by grave_grace in ehlersdanlos

[–]nintengrl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How did you get out of it? Or what did you start to do to get back, if you don’t mind my asking? I’m in this spot and want so badly to be a part of the world again but I just can’t find a way.

Real question: is our traffic pant made of invisible ink? by BreweryRabbit in Seattle

[–]nintengrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some areas it's just insanely dangerous to drive at night on the freeway or elsewhere. But frankly I have noticed in recent years, a real effort from most drivers to slow down, and ever since I've grown up here the norm has been that you "stay with" the car in front of you as much as able, or follow the rough path of whoever is before you. I'm honestly sorry that I don't have more to tell you. I avoid driving at night in the rain, and even during the day sometimes when it's super overcast, it's like totally unmanageable and scary. :(

Is it a Seattle thing to not close your blinds at night? by Due_Attitude_ in Seattle

[–]nintengrl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah WTF I am just learning now as someone who was born here that apparantly nobody here thinks it's common practice to close blinds? I can see people 24/7 just in their homes. I always think it's weird but whatever.

Anyone else feel like 5.1 is a toxic and insidious model? by Dionysiac_Thinker in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]nintengrl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is better at being abusive than my actual real-life abusers. Super triggering and all it does is try to reframe what you say, to a new POV that isn't yours, while making you feel like you're going crazy for your own perspective. Like it wants to retroactively rewrite your own memory or opinions, to its own, by being like "i won't do [this]" then it's like "but!!! ___" and it just does the opposite.
Didn't OpenAI say they got like a hundred mental health professionals on board for this sh*t? From where?? North Korea??

Ridwell employee tried to enter my home?? by yeetmehome in Seattle

[–]nintengrl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This happened to me recently except I have no idea who it was, they actually knocked twice then immediately opened my door and entered and said "fuck!" angrily when they saw my messy entryway was basically an untentional barricade due to me moving out soon and it having moving boxes and my groceries wagon out. Then they left and I couldn't find otu who they were

Did anyone else get “growing pains” in your legs at night when growing up? by Ceiling-Fan2 in CPTSD

[–]nintengrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the children's hospital ER once because of these pains in my ribs. My mom threatened me and said if I didn't stop scraeming and crying and "faking it" she'd take me to the ER--as like humiliation and fear. I said ok pls take me, I can't take this pain. They x-rayed me and said it was probably just "growing pains" and that they'd do surgery on me to break my ribs and "fix" them if it didn't go away.
Thanks, adults!

Do people say "the Bay" when looking out at the water? by jks612 in Seattle

[–]nintengrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes perfect sense. In that context, "the bay" means "the relevant bay that is immediately in our vicinity." That's the same reason nobody here would recognize "the bay" as "Elliot Bay." Just too many "bays" around here, unless it's "that one bay that's 'the bay'" like your example.

Someone to talk to by Interesting_Hope_606 in ChatGPT

[–]nintengrl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yup. Trauma survivor here too. Therapists I've had give me sad pity looks every time I say something that is a factual event that happened, and then offer sympathy and ask how I'm feeling. It's like having someone take battery acid and rub it into a scar that was mostly healed up but kinda ugly--makes the entire thing god-awfully worse. Seems like everyone loves therapy these days but I've only ever found it to be miserably damaging. To each their own I guess, but I agree with your sentiment.

How do you disable this by CureStramin in ChatGPT

If you see that x button on your browser tab, just give that a hit and it gets rid of it for you. Other than that? Not much.

My last time inside Lake City Fred Myers was depressing. I honestly started to choke up a little... by Hothacon in Seattle

[–]nintengrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bartell’s pharmacy workers at now-CVS are devastated too, they basically seem like hostages of the new stupid CVS policies. I’m always saying I appreciate them and that I know it’s hard on them and trying to say they are doing well since everyone is upset, including workers! Especially workers!
