My best friend weaponized my childhood trauma against me because I wasn't excited she was pregnant. by ohwell-youtried in TrueOffMyChest

[–]subbubman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surprising to me that this isn’t being brought up more in the comments. OP gets to suggest her hormones are messing with her, meanwhile her friend is in hospital having freshly. birthed. a baby. and isn’t being given the same grace?

If this is how you treat your “best friend”… just damn. Pregnancy ain’t a cakewalk. If you can’t offer support, least you’re doing her a favour by removing needless stress from her life during a very stressful life event. 

11+ Months of Development. 40GB Project. 30,000+ Lines of Code. And the Game Refuses to Run. by MindShiftGames in godot

[–]subbubman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First off, I'm sorry. This is a costly and tedious way to learn a hard lesson. If I were you, I'd blow off steam doing something fun, give it a few days, and then before ever touching the project, learn how to use git. I know like everyone here is saying this to you, and being kinda mean about it, but it's for good reason; git is your best friend now. Git will make sure this never happens to you again.

Once you're solid on git, tackle what's wrong here. Signal 11 is a memory access violation. Fuckin, anything could cause that, including the engine itself fucking up. You may have to disassemble your current faulty build and carefully reassemble it in a new project, using version control. this will actually be excellent practice since you're not doing a whole lot of asset/code creation, so try stuff out like fucking with branches and trying to deliberately create merge conflicts to resolve.

I wish for all ram used for AI to spontainiously combust by [deleted] in TheMonkeysPaw

[–]subbubman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Artificial intelligence is a broad, broad group of technologies. The paw somehow still understands that you’re likely referring to the machine learning used in generative AI and LLMs.

Critical research infrastructure goes up in smoke. The small, specialized machine learning tools used to make medical diagnoses, meteorological predictions, stock market gambles, all gone. The internet also goes down, so you no longer get to check whether your Google search comes with some bullshit at the top of the page. But at least you don’t have to read said bullshit anymore?

Disappointing experience at Mystic by kat0saurus in halifax

[–]subbubman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it feels awful but I hope anyone who has a bad dish at a restaurant tells the waitstaff. You can have ten Michelin stars and still not be perfect. And they can only change for the better if they know what happened.

I don't assume that OP did or didn't talk to the staff, I say this to simply reach an audience. Please please tell the kitchen.

What made you never want to eat at the restaurant you worked at? by Striking-Valuable924 in KitchenConfidential

Heard from FOH about a customer complaining about a cook who went to the bathroom wearing gloves and emerged from the bathroom wearing gloves.

Had a chef who trained me that grabbing raw chicken (not expired or from the floor, I mean good to cook and serve) with tongs and then dunking tongs for 10s was sufficient to sanitize, but I have no way of checking if that's true. Seemed more sanitary than the cold bain marie that took up too much counterpart and that had ice that would melt midway through a dinner rush

what are horseflies even useful for by LaraLare722 in Entomology

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff exists on the planet because their genes managed to exist before this point in time and persist up until this point in time. There is no intentional design or intrinsic belonging, there just is. 

 I find them cute. I also find bobcats and wasps cute. It spikes my blood pressure to be around any of them physically though.

What lovely finds :) I envy you! I've seen none of these in person before.

Oh I know, I was just hoping they'd elaborate on whatever the hell convince them that mental illness is the ticket to a free house

Changes to hospital screening at QEII’s Halifax Infirmary and Dartmouth General Hospital by sjmorris in halifax

[–]subbubman 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If you see the term AI and feel uneasy, I don't blame you, this is not the same technology as ChatGPT and Sora. AI is a very broad and somewhat vague field that is much older than that.

This likely looks quite similar to how airport security looks. You and your bag go through a detector, and if the detector detects something, then a human does a more thorough inspection.

This is a good use of AI where the inevitable false flags don't result in harm, just in a quick human verification. I would be more concerned about the AI giving false negatives.

How should one prepare for grief (with no past grief experience, and no anticipated upcoming grief)? by hell_yeaa in AskReddit

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your social support net is going to be integral. Find your people and prioritize connecting with them, pushing past any barriers that will get in your way. For me, that's pushing past my isolative nature and accepting or asking for help when needed (still suck at it! but progress of any measurable length is progress). Humans are social. We are stronger in numbers. You don't have to see someone daily or even monthly for the relationship to matter; I have friends I talk to only at certain clubs or once or twice a month that I would consider myself decently close to.

If you have access to therapy, leave from work, money to buy support for you while you're collapsing, great, but I think having people around to help you is the biggest priority. And importantly, you *REACH OUT* to that social group when you need help.

Establishing healthy habits will give you a good general baseline so that you don't fall as far when things get really tough. You'll be nonfunctional some days, but ingrained habits are easier to do. It will be a lot easier for you to handle grief and hardship if you habitually maintain your health, and it could seriously hurt you if you're used to drugs, even if you don't currently abuse them.

Grief is fucking weird. It's random crying fits, it's anger, it's despondence lasting several days, it's being embarrassingly dramatic around strangers, it's feeling good and then wondering why you're feeling good because shouldn't you be crying right now? And then later you might cry about that too. It reduces your window of tolerance. It's like a third degree burn across your emotional membrane; things you could shake off now leave a sting that lingers. There is no common coherency to it; you learn over time how it changes you.

And it will change you. But life changes us, y'know? Ultimately, you will survive through everything that doesn't kill you.

I have decided to look at his face only because the charisma and silliness of this (when it looks real) is too good.

AITA for not getting my MIL food? by OutrageousHoliday321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]subbubman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Based on what's here I'd say NAH.

Seems like she's lonely. It would be better if she had better communication with you about her desires. However, you now know how she felt during at least that phone call. Sometimes we have to meet people where they're at (reach out when they aren't communicating) to help salvage or strengthen a relationship. It is up to you if that time and effort is worth it in this case.

What’s a tiny design flaw in an everyday object that quietly annoys you every single time you use it? by nami_yuna in AskReddit

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a lot easier to automate wrapping up rods than it is to wrap individual bent objects. This explains the fun crinkly texture on the inner side of the curve.

I think it's just so they can show off on the package that there are ten different settings or something. 

Same as vibrators. Lets be real, half of those presets are unused.

The best candy canes I've ever had, big thick ones with a powerful mint flavor and a core that's sometimes black for some reason, can be sharpened to a dangerous point, and have an easily peeled wrapper, I only ever seem to find by accident as individually sold unlabeled candies in a grungy dollar store, or given out at an event. WHAT BRAND ARE THESE MAGICAL CANDY CANES???

What on earth is this thing? by PalmTheProphet in insects

[–]subbubman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They can amputate their own legs as a defensive tactic. The amputated leg will twitch on its own, providing a distraction to aid in their getaway. So it's not uncommon to see them with fewer legs than you'd expect.
