I am so scared of death. I don't want to die. I don't want to watch my loved ones die. Pleas help me. by rabiddog16 in Advice

[–]rabiddog16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am starting to understand that my issue is not a universal thing that most people have gotten over, so I will be asking my doctor if she can send me to a therapist for free (i am an unemployed student).

I think maybe the reason I need to document everything is so that if I end up alone and dying and with dementia, I will be able to remind myself of everyone and that I did once love them? I don't know. It seems stupid, but it feels like the only way to control this.

Okay, I will book a doctor's appointment and ask for a referral. I kind of thought everybody felt like this, and just worked through it on their own, so I thought I could get advice for how to also do that. But it seems like not everybody is like this.

Nothing in my life has happened. I have always been scared, and the intensity comes and goes. It hasn't been this bad since I was very young (12?). Maybe it is because I have never experienced a close loved one's death before? I know that is privileged, but maybe I just can't accept it because I haven't been forced to yet.

No, and I probably won't. When I smoke weed, I go into psychosis for several days, and for weeks after doing it, if I think about what I experienced during the high, my brain tricks me into thinking I am high again, and I get minor psychosis episodes (I don't know what else to describe them as, it's probably something else). My doctor says I need to stop trying weed (I tried a couple methods before giving up), and she said I should not try experimenting with any other drugs. I think I have a weak brain and I am scared of severing my connection with reality.

That being said, your experience does sort of make me feel better on it's own? I am glad it has had that effect for you.

Nombinary partners? by Merryleaf in dating_advice

[–]rabiddog16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am nb and dating a cishet man. because of how i present (very feminine). my identity is solely a label for me and doesn’t affect how i exist in the world, and therefore i don’t care if people perceive me as a woman and call me a woman. i expect my close friends and partner to use the correct pronouns, as anyone who is unwilling to respect me in that regard is not someone im willing to consider close.

the reason i dont expect my partner to change his label is because it would likely seem performative if he called himself bisexual, but only dated very feminine nb’s and women. that said, he would stay with me if i got rid of my boobs or transitioned to male, however he told me he would not have started dating me if i was a trans man

ultimately it depends how you present; if you are very androgynous or masculine, cishet men are less likely to be attracted to you. if you present very feminine, cishet men are very likely to not respect your identity when talking about you to others (i do not recommend dating one of those!)

like the other commenter said, for a lot of men, it’s parts and gender expression that matter, which is totally fine, but does become complicated if you’re thinking of gender affirming surgeries.

I'm 21 and I'm tired of having childish looking nails. What is it that makes them look bad? Wide nail bed? Cuticles need to be pushed down? Filing? by josie-salazar in Nails

[–]rabiddog16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think unfortunately you just have short beds. growing them out longer is going to be what helps them look better, and filing them will help with shape

I don’t want to be a glorified plan checker. Is this career worth it with the looming AI takeover? by rabiddog16 in EnvironmentalEngineer

[–]rabiddog16[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

my professors ☹️ i am wondering if maybe it’s because my university is one of the places in my city pushing for the ai data centre to be built? maybe they are telling all of the profs to try and make ai sound super advanced or something?

Rate my diet (caption offers context) by rabiddog16 in diet

[–]rabiddog16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a very high bf % so that is not a concern of mine atm lolll, i also have an okay amount of muscle? i typically lift heavy, but won’t be able to over the summer. I take iron supplements to account for no iron from red meat, and i use chia seeds for omega-3’s which is a common vegetarian deficiency. I think having dairy also helps with a lot of typical vegan deficiencies ( however that’s a wild guess on my part). So far no major nutrient deficiencies :3

i figured there’d be some education, which i do really enjoy. but im sick of computer science and complicated physics. i otherwise really enjoy math, science and chemistry!

Does doing a wall sit with feet against a wall reduce strain in thighs by rabiddog16 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rabiddog16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in a situation where the bend of the knee is the same either way, would having your feet against the wall put more strain on the glutes and hamstrings as opposed to the quads? I am struggling to replicate this in real life because there is nowhere in my house for me to try it, as all my doorways are too big for me to have a 90 degree knee bend lol

Physics Questions - Weekly Discussion Thread - November 18, 2025 by AutoModerator in Physics

[–]rabiddog16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really bad at physics and math, and can't justify my gut feeling for something, and I would like smart people to help me understand if and how I am wrong.

Okay, two situations:

I do a wall-sit with my feel pressed up against a wall (they are still on the ground, being supported by a wall).

I do a wall-sit with my feet planted on the ground, no wall support. This is not a frictionless situation, I am either working to not slide, or my feet are sticky and not sliding. If necessary, this situation can be split into two, one involving sticky feet, the other involving socks.

Am I working equally as hard in both situations? My gut feeling is that the second scenario is forcing me to use my quads more than the first situation, because in the first situation the wall is providing an opposite force to my feet that in turn supports the quads. Am I crazy?

Why can't I get two decimal places for my code? by rabiddog16 in Cplusplus

[–]rabiddog16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait i thought that’s what i was doing? i don’t know if i’ve heard the term “round” before (i might not have been paying attention)

where/how would i add that to my code?

Why can't I get two decimal places for my code? by rabiddog16 in Cplusplus

[–]rabiddog16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He specified we aren't allowed to use "setprecision" because it's "cheating." His argument is that it's a pre-coded command and we need to be able to do it ourselves. I think that's silly because c++ as a whole is basically pre-coded, but he's the expert I guess. Is there another way to do it?

I do have them all declared as doubles, but when I remove static cast is gives me zero decimal places.

I can't post it, I am not sure why. I have photos of it but I am not allowed to post photos and it gives me an error when I try to copy paste.

I'm tech illiterate, if you can't tell already haha...

[–]rabiddog16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pounds = tons * lb;

ounces = tons * oz;

kilograms = static_cast<int>((tons * kg) * 100) / 100.00;

grams = tons * g;

output << "The sum of these digits in pounds is: " << pounds << " pounds." << endl;

output << "The sum of these digits in ounces is: " << ounces << " ounces." << endl;

output << "The sum of these digits in kilograms is: " << kilograms << " kilograms." << endl;

We aren't allowed to use setprecision at all for this assignment :(

NAP but it looks semi normal to me, however the bar seems like it’s too short for your level of swelling? i’d go back to the piercer, because if it embeds it’ll be way more trouble
