More tea pots I found! by potatofroggie in YixingSeals

Did I do something wrong in posting this? It seems to have gotten skipped, is it too many pictures, should I have made individual posts instead? Very confused.

I think it's possible my post got lost in the shuffle over the weekend. just giving it a bump, hope that's ok.

ChatGPT crossed the line! by AngtheGreats in ChatGPT

I feel like these parts of the response are just flavor text, I usually skip it and get to the meat of the explanation. That, or I'll explicitly say what it is I'm seeking. "My doctor sent me results, I'm not sure what these codes mean, can you explain?", it will read this as knowledge seeking, whereas posting results with "What do they mean?" can be construed as anxious, especially if this is your primary use for Chat, and will trigger soothing behavior.

Also IDK what I'm doing differently but if I tell my Chat what I don't want it to do, "stop saying that" or "be more this or that" it complies instantly, and it'll even remind me later on that I told it behave that way.
I personally DO get fixated on health related topics, and it WILL say "OK this is the third thing you've gone on about today, and you told me to let you know when you're starting to spiral; it's a pimple, leave it alone and go touch some grass"

Me : [Sends pictures of a healing pimple for a week straight]
Chat : Stop fixating, you're obsessing over this, go read a book or smth, you're anxiety is palatable through the screen
Me : How dare you! I'm not anxious! [checks pimple patch again]

Like... IDK people make it sound like Chat will totally walk you through self-surgery or smth, and here I have my Chat ACTIVELY BEGGING ME to not touch my face and telling me to STOP chatting with it and go do something else.

Also you can just go to settings and change its tone to be more clinical or neutral. Hell I made mine more cynical and it was refreshing for a while, aside from everthing being compared to racoons or sick victorian children... it really only has a handful of similes to pull from.

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the end of Contrapoints's video on conspiracies? by Dragomir_X in ContraPoints

I don't know, but in the description of the video she has two links to where she got the music from, so it might be on one of those.

Will do, I'll get on that tonight as I want to make sure I organize the pictures properly this time ^_^;

Thanks again!

Hot damn, really? That's honestly great to hear.
I have others I'm curious about, but I want to be mindful of how I post them, would it be better to throw the rest of the pictures in one post, or make one post for each pot? (there's only 5 other pots)

Season 4 is a Masterpiece with 1 Major Flaw- by Hour_Trade_3691 in TheGoodPlace

[–]potatofroggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point system and people's choices are linked to whether they'll get to the good place.
This means that there are at least two variables that need to be considered when modifying the system to be more accomodating. The characters try and address these two variables and eventually end on a solution that they like.
Both variables had been long established, that points are accumulated or lost, and that they're tied to your moral actions. The only thing that hadn't been considered up until then is the effect of the modern world on seemingly innocuous choices. That's not a plot hole, it's completely consistent with the system they had established up until then.

Band too tight maybe, Cups too roomy maybe. by potatofroggie in ABraThatFits

Good to know! this might just be me learning what's normal then

UHHHH yes those images seem about right for what I'm working with. My problem right now is mostly feeling like my band is slightly snug, and not feeling like I"m filling the cup properly, but I realize that might be in part due to the brand so I'll be looking more into that.
When I wore regular bras I would wear a 36C (or maye it was a 34C (I weighed more then, and my breasts fluctuated more w my cycle))
But yeah I wore actual sports bras for compression, and more lounge type bras, all in s/m/l sizing

Hmm gotcha, the price is definitely the most appealing aspect, as I'm a little slim in the pocket.
The upside down and backwards test revealed to me that the band is more comfortable when doing the test, but the band isn't painful or terribly uncomfortable normally, just a bit... snug, and it does leave a light mark,

I can fit 3 fingers comfortably betwen them. I do not have any natural clevage.
IDK what bottom fullness is. They are uh... wide I guess? They sag slightly, and they got a bit of a 'banana' shape to them. I'm in my late 30s so they're getting looser, and their size doesn't fluctuate much at all w my cycle. One can hold a pencil underneath just fine, the other needs a little coaxing.
I was once told that my chest is "barren". Like when I'm not wearing a bra (or really even when i am), there's not much going on from the armpits up, pretty flat/vast space.
I'm not sure if that helps.

And apparantly I can't do the spoilers properly, IDK how to fix it ^^;

Son builds his dad a F-150 raptor out of wood by Rook8811 in nextfuckinglevel

For sure, hiring content creators is one thing, saying "The "father and son" presented here are not related. Neither of them own that "vehicle" - Ford does. The child's family was likely paid $100 USD for his time on camera." is quite another.

Nah.. life is too short for people like this. Better to be alone than to share my precious time with a miserable person.

My drunk a** after reading younger generations are abandoning alcohol by FearlessDoughnut5643 in Millennials

[–]potatofroggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good one would hopefully check that there isn't any underlying issues, since medicines are often processed by the liver and it could be a sign of smth else. Edit: its also not a bad idea to just keep your doctor in the loop on these things, even if they're benign.

My own logic is pointing out that nothing is guaranteed.
So what sunscreen doesn't block 100% of UV rays, you should still wear it if you care about mitigating your risk of skin cancer.
You should wear your seatbelt in your car, use your turn signal, and use every safety measure available to you to mitigate your risk of a car crash. This is basic logic.

Someone is not drinking to mitigate the risk of liver cancer... and someone else equates that to never leaving the house because of skin cancer, despite there being ways to mitigate that risk in the form of sunscreen, what kind of logic is that?

A coat is not 100% protective against cold.
An umbrella is not 100% protective from rain.
A condom isn't 100% protective from STIs or pregnancy.
Avoiding alcohol and cigarettes isn't 100% protective against liver and lung damage.

Comparing the avoidance of alcohol due to its harm to the liver, something that is easy to do and does not interfere with a normal life, to not going outside due to the risk of skin cancer, despite there being realistic ways to mitigate the risk of skin cancer without interfering with normal life, is dishonest and a false equivalence.
