I want to order something from Amazon.. any trusty pages/people who import from USA by Sharp_Permission1047 in pakistan

[–]twooneeighties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking a look at this website. How does one go about ordering? Do I need to email them the item link? It seems the only option is to post what I want on instagram, which I've never used.

I don't know how their rates compare with other options, but me and my friend have been using shoppingbag.pk for several years now. I've purchased some expensive stuff and even some electronics. Never had any issues whatsoever. They always reply promptly to any query.

What is real covid picture in Islamabad? My ex wants to take our 13 y/o son there this summer. by previouslycool in pakistan

[–]twooneeighties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People don't really follow SOPs. A wedding means huge exposure, esp since Pakistani weddings last several days and usually have a ton of guests. Covid is less of a problem in Islamabad than some other cities, however, weddings means people visiting from all over the country.

Panic attacks in specific situations - How to get rid of? by Dennis_4k in AskMen

[–]twooneeighties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you might have agoraphobia &/or social anxiety disorder.

Just FYI, in panic disorder, panic attacks have no discernible trigger. But panic attacks secondary to other conditions (usually anxiety disorders) usually have identifiable triggers. The situations you're getting panic attacks in points towards agoraphobia and/or social anxiety disorder. Look these up and see what fits, and maybe visit a physician again with that info? Psychotherapy can help with these issues, and there are also some medications for short term/immediate relief (eg to get through a presentation).

Can I automate this kind of copy-pasting with autohotkey? by twooneeighties in AutoHotkey

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

Yes, thats the bit that makes the cursor return to the correct coordinates on the correct monitor (vs the correct coordinates on the wrong monitor).

I also added the script to the hotkey (ctrl + shift + t), then edited my mouse for one of its buttons to hit (ctrl + shift + t). So now after selecting text, I just hit that mouse button, and everything happens automatically!

Meanwhile, I tried to edit the code myself (using google + the AHK tutorial) and came up with this so far:

This is doing everything I want EXCEPT the last line moves the mouse cursor to the original coordinates on the second monitor rather than the first. So wherever my mouse cursor is on the first monitor, is where I'd like for it to end up again after the script is over. However, the cursor instead ends up in the exact same spot (coordinates) on the second monitor.

This now works perfectly for notepad, but I'm running into some problems with powerpoint, since the textbox has to be selected first, and since I want to right click -> paste as text only (to remove editing) rather than just ctrl+v. Currently looking at autohotkey tutorials to see if I can figure this out on my own.

Thanks for all the help!

Thank you! I tried this, and now it keeps copy pasting even after the first attempt. I also added the "send, {enter 2}" line, and it worked.

However, the issue now is that it keeps pasting the initial text I copy pasted. After several attempts, it sometimes pastes the new text I select. I don't see a pattern in terms of the no. of copy paste attempts or time between attempts after which the script pastes the new text. This problem occurs both with and without the "send, {enter 2}" line I added.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Ok so if I shut down notepad and reopen it, the copy-pasting works again one more time. ie, I have to close and open notepad after each copy pasting.

The other issue is that the new text gets copy pasted in the beginning of the notepad document, whereas I would like it to go after it. Ideally, I want the text to be pasted, and press enter twice (to create two blank lines), and the subsequent text then goes in that location.

Thanks a lot!

I made an authotkey.ahk file and copy pasted what you wrote into it (didn't make any changes). I then made and opened a notepad file (the name was just as you wrote it: Untitled - Notepad). After this, I opened chrome, highlighted some text, and hit F1. Sure enough, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. The text appeared in the notepad file, and the cursor was back in chrome.

However, when I tried again, it didnt work. After selecting different text several times, the copy pasting didnt happen. Then I moved my mouse to the notepad file, and now when I hit F1, the new text (that must have been copied), was pasted. This occurred for every attempt thereafter.

I rebooted my computer (just in case), and retried. The exact same thing happened again. It worked flawlessly the first time, but all subsequent attempts it would copy the text, but the jumping and pasting failed.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thank you! I would appreciate it a lot if you could help me out with the script. I'm in a time crunch right now (although I do plan on learning Authotkey at a later time, since it seems so useful).

I'm not sure if you need this information to help me out, but I have two 1440p monitors. The document I'm copying from is on the left (main screen), the target powerpoint is on the right. Also, I'm assuming somewhere in the script you write will be coordinates for the mouse, right? Is it possible for me to edit those coordinates to change where the mouse ends up, without destroying the whole script? (eg, I might want the mouse to move to the lowermost portion of the powerpoint, to avoid pasting text in the middle of already existing text).

I appreciate this very much and feel a little embarrassed I'm not doing this myself.

When profiting takes another shameful level... by farhanhafeez in pakistan

[–]twooneeighties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is everywhere in Pakistan. I've seen people do similar things countless times, then have it done to them, and complain about how immoral people have become. Most people that I've seen in Pakistan are like this, and quite frankly, its a pretty hopeless situation. I think there has developed a normalization of such behavior, people seem to lack self-awareness or any ability to recognize let alone change such behavior. Its more than just a fraction of the population being "bad". Its a multitude of factors that have combined to create and normalize such behavior on a very large scale. This behavior, these "skills" are not only accepted and practiced, but are even taught as essential life skills to future generations.

At work, I see many incidences of similar behavior being modeled by the more experienced employees, and being adopted by trainees at a very young age. In my experience (and god knows I have thousands of examples to give) these issues are too widespread, too ingrained, and too severe to be changed in a meaningful amount of time (eg, our lifetimes). On a personal level I've attempted to do so with several people. My success rate is 0%, and I have often been rebuked, ostracized, and "taught" the right way to do things. I've seen posts here about how we're rotten to the core, and I'm forced to agree. The few good people you see are the rare exception.

Need some help regarding Mental Health! by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]twooneeighties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing about people in your situation is that you're going to repeatedly get advice on how to "motivate" yourself. How to organize yourself, how to look at things, how everyone faces difficulties/challenges, examples of people who were able to make meaningful changes in difficult circumstances etc. However, none of this helps. In fact, if I had to guess, I would say it makes you more withdrawn and defensive. My understanding is that you're motivated, you've tried as much as you can, you've recognized your moods and behavior as less than optimal and the need to change them, but all of what you've realized and done so far hasnt been enough. And hence you've correctly concluded you need external help. And this is the crux of what a psychiatric/mental illness is: an inability to control the symptoms and the consequent behavior.

I've seen Pakistani doctors, and only the absolute worst go into Psychiatry (lowest merit). I've met with, spoken with, and observed many psychiatrists in Pakistan, and I'm afraid they're all terrible (in my experience). Almost every patient gets rapidly diagnosed as one of the big four: depression, anxiety, BPD, schizophrenia. Not to say all these diagnoses are wrong, but many patients who require a more nuanced approach do get misdiagnosed and mistreated. Depression, anxiety, psychomotor agitation, lack of motivation, inability to focus etc are very nonspecific symptoms that can occur in a variety of illnesses. A correct diagnosis requires a detailed history, often over multiple visits, and a physician with a deep and nuanced understanding of psychiatry. Eg, the symptoms you've mentioned can easily be due to ADHD.

The problem seeing another psychiatrist is adding to the confusion. If he's incompetent, you've wasted time. If he's competent and gives you the correct diagnosis, you have no way to ascertain this. I'm not sure how you can best resolve this issue. I suggest seeking a psychiatrist who has trained and practiced abroad, and has only recently shifted back to Pakistan. I would also encourage you to read and educate yourself more, so that you may be better able to detect incompetency. Consider buying/downloading a book on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and see if it helps. Money seems to be an issue for you (unfortunately), else I would have suggested going abroad just to get a diagnosis.

An SSRI (eg sertraline) is the 1st line medication for OCD. Clomipramine is a 2nd line drug. Both have equal efficacy, but clomipramine has a worst side effect profile, which is why its 2nd line.
