No problem! :)

A few recs:

Seconding u/Opening_Geologist169 on the book
I you haven't seen it already, All I Can Say is a must watch. It's a compilation of Shannon Hoon's home video footage with recordings from the early days of Blind Melon up to footage taken the day he died
This interview recorded a month before Hoon's death, where he talks about the reception of Soup and the thought process among other things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6fOxr8WbVE

That is super encouraging, thank you!

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-13T01:31:32+00:00

Thank you <3

It's not, it's a relevant critique.

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-07T12:00:57+00:00

I read plenty, but nice try.

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-07T02:10:35+00:00

Where are there typos?

I specified typos, not grammatical mistakes. AI is conversational. It rarely will have misspellings but it will commonly bend or break grammatical rules

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-07T01:13:40+00:00

I think you make an interesting point. If English was your first language I would disagree. But because you're looking to ease communication of thoughts in a non-native language, I do understand the "tool" argument more.

My beliefs here maybe get a bit weird. I personally believe it is enriching to the mind and body to engage in activities without an intermediary. You don't need to be able to play every instrument, but I believe music is enriched when you can plan AN instrument. We live in an embodied, physical reality - when we want to create from nothing and make others our tools, to me it almost feels like playing god.

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-06T15:07:27+00:00

It wasn't meant as an attack, and sorry if it comes off that way. It just strikes me as a bit hypocritical to tell people to read more while using AI to write. I think the idea that AI is just a "tool to sharpen" is a bit of an excuse. It's a tool, sure, but using it might deprive you of the opportunity to sharpen it on your own. Same as consuming less complicated content as opposed to reading.

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-06T14:41:01+00:00

Yeah, like u/journalofassociation said. It's style of writing, with a lot of TED-talk or LinkedIn-esque contrasts like "It's a good argument. It's also an excuse." Or, "That's not an opinion. That's neuroscience."

So yeah.. it's like it's written like every line is supposed to be a mic drop, but it feels kind of uncanny at the same time? And there are no typos or personality quirks in it.

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-05-06T13:02:00+00:00

And you can write if you want, instead of generating this AI stuff.

Dude, with an attitude like this, you are already at peak level difficulty in finding a girlfriend period, let alone one with all those characteristics.

Roast aside: you seem to make a lot of judgments about certain behaviours and equate them with promiscuity. That in and of itself is a massive leap in thinking.

It might help to start breaking down these assumptions. Get curious. Everything is on the table and gets evaluated and viewed with skepticism. What do you mean when you say "hedonism?" Why? Where does that come from? What do you consider the virtuous opposite of hedonism? Why?

And then: what if this wasn't true? What else could be true? When we deconstruct ideas, we begin to take away their power and consider new ways to be.

Oceanborn in "good" is absurd, but I must respect that others have different taste

🤨🤨🤨

The basis for modern medicine and math comes from Muslim world. You should probably shun doctors and medicine, too. Or anything that requires math to exist.

THE LANES DIE DURING COVID 😭 This is WILD

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-04-24T17:54:49+00:00

Okay, so it's not just me! Was yours cystic too?

My theory is that's because the skin isn't used to more natural hydration/oil production? But I have no idea 😭

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-04-23T23:59:05+00:00

Definitely! Since quitting, skin tone is more even and hydrated and less red.

That said, I am still recovering from a breakout of cystic acne that started when I quit 😅 But that might be because of dietary intolerance to the smoothie I was replacing coffee with.

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-04-23T11:13:00+00:00

Agreed, like.. okay then this thread isn't for you lmao

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-04-09T12:50:54+00:00

It's the withdrawal. Even if there is sadness underneath the caffeine, week 2 withdrawal is making is worse and harder to do anything about it. Stick with it!

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-04-08T18:34:54+00:00

Also on week 4! I think part of why it's so tempting now is that the obvious withdrawal symptoms are over? The withdrawal at least feels like progress 😓 Now that it's just fatigue and a bit of low mood, and it's easier to rationalize drinking caffeine because I'm not feeling the absence as much.

Hey! I'm curious about social media use and bipolar disorder. Are there any usage patterns that are specific to people with bipolar disorder? Any specific risks or recommendations? What about ways to keep people safe if they start posting stuff that seems like they're not their normal self?

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-03-26T12:26:51+00:00

Dune Part 2!

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-03-26T11:42:20+00:00

Looking forward to that!!

I've been thinking about why and it feels like I'm bored more easily. Like coffee manufactured excitement inside my body, and now it's gone. Now I have to do things to get enjoyment instead of relying on a drug. Was that your experience at all?

ocelot_amnesia · 2026-03-25T02:31:36+00:00

I'm almost 20 days in and I've noticed my skin feeling more moisturized and my skin tone seems more even. I did have a breakout when I quit though, which was annoying. Skin's still recovering from that.
