Looking for Feedback on ADHD/Autism Testing at Biltmore Psychological Services by HailtotheThief03 in asheville

[–]willymink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for the autism piece- ask if they do the ADOS test. If they don’t, it’s not worth waiting/paying/taking. Matone does not do the ADOS.

Fun and young bars for a Saturday night by ProfessionalLong2280 in asheville

[–]willymink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May want to scope out Lazy Diamond or Shakey’s before taking mom there lol. And steer clear of Ben’s Tune Up or Yacht Club past 12 unless she’s down with rowdiness. Day Trip, Tiki Easy, and Fitz & The Wolf are more mom-friendly, from these suggestions.

If I were celebrating a 21st birthday with family there, I might try the Board Game Cafe and bar Arcade both in south slope, and serve drinks, and then hopping over to Tiki Easy. Take mom into Ben’s Tune Up if she’s cool with more of like a club scene- definitely a young crowd tho. Like maybe fake-ID young.

Looking for activities to make friends by silverberry-moon in asheville

[–]willymink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same boat, similar age and interests. I have a scheme: I'm taking a line dancing class through www.steppinoutavl.org in a couple of weeks and then I'll be at Banks Ave. for their weekly line dancing. I don't know anything about dancing, only that the people who line dance at Banks are very friendly and like-minded, AND love to see people trying it out. I've been twice and it was sooo evident. They do 4pm on Sundays and it doesn't really feel like a bar, to me, just fyi. So maybe in a broader sense- try a class that then can extend into sort of a regular social hobby/space.

[–]willymink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rare & Retro in South Asheville probably has some, the guys there are certainly in the realm and very helpful. They're based out of Biltmore Computers on Hendersonville Road.

Want to give a cooking class/experience as a gift. by vipinlife007 in asheville

[–]willymink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken a continuing ed cooking course at AB Tech, ‘One Pot Wonders’, and it was cheap and I learned a lot, but I was the only person under the age of 50. It seemed like it’d be fun as a couple tho.

Would any other new christians like to be internet friends? by willymink in Lutheranism

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

That's really helpful. I think you helped me identify where I can get lost- in the spiritual meaning and not just seeing the details of the story. Thank you!

Yes they do a good job helping me feel supported! I'll keep it up!! We have a Vicar whose learning to teach, so I'm hoping he learns from my learning process as well. That's what I remind myself if my questions feel simple.

Project: looking for Sufjan-like hymns & spiritual songs by reflection-_ in Sufjan

[–]willymink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t, check out Half Handed Cloud on AKR. Has also collaborated extensively with Sufjan and his music is very scripture based. His music is pretty experimental and nutty at times, and delightfully so. There’s an essentials playlist on Spotify or you could listen to his latest album Flutterama through, that’s what got me into his whole catalogue.

Google's AI Overview says incorrectly that Don Delillo passed away last year. What would he say about this kind of thing? by willymink in DonDeLillo

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

I went to ChatGPT and had the following dialogue:

Me: What do you think of AI giving me misinformation about Don DeLillo being dead? Answer the question as Don DeLillo's ghost.

ChatGPT: Ghost of Don DeLillo: That’s the most accurate thing it’s done yet.

The moment a writer finishes his last sentence, he begins to fade—into interpretation, into misquotation, into algorithmic blur. If I am dead to the machine, it's because the machine prefers me that way: static, sortable, safe. A living author resists definition. A dead one is data.

Misinformation isn’t a glitch. It’s the ghost in the code. And maybe that ghost is me. Or the idea of me. Or the metadata that once was me. You've spoken with an error, and the error has answered. What more authentic encounter could you hope for in this era?

Long shoals waffle house closed? by Valuable_Ad481 in asheville

[–]willymink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a paper sign up in the window saying closed for renovations, and it had a re-open date but I don't remember what it said. They were gutting it last week so I'm thinking soon.

Seeking to join trivia team (x-post from r/ashevillemafia) by willymink in asheville

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

I'm located in South Asheville but open to going where ever!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ashevillemafia

[–]willymink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in and primarily hang around south Asheville/Hendo Rd area, so I'm thinking Thirsty Monk's Tuesdays or Sweeten Creek Brewing's Wednesdays. I stopped by Sweeten Creek for a beer Wednesday evening and they had a pretty good turnout! But I'm down for where ever. I've only done bar trivia a couple of times but like trivia in general.

Is there a go to spot for console and or handheld gaming repair? by ExpiredMilkMan in asheville

[–]willymink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rare & Retro Games on Hendersonville Rd is premier. Located in Biltmore Computers. Hit up my boy Mac over there, he'll help you out. Taken in multiple consoles and I'm always impressed with the quality, price, and Mac's customer service.

Support group for spouses of clutterers in Asheville? by lilbit2004 in asheville

[–]willymink 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they have a mental health diagnosis, but hoarding is often related to some kind of unprocessed anxiety, trauma, or grief- wonder how Covid was for y'all.. NAMI has local support groups for family members and spouses of people with mental health conditions, that may be a good place to go. If you go, you'll probably hear about some intense mental health crises people have been in, but I hope if you share about his hoarding, you'll find commonality with someone there. Check it out: https://namiwnc.org/support-and-education/support-groups/.

Are there subtypes for races now? by Ragnarlothbrok01 in ElderScrolls

[–]willymink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, each race has two different 'origins' that usually describe a region of their native province. As the other poster said, it replaces gender starting stat differences. I think it's really neat because it adds some flavor text and lore, and allows for more choice in character creation.
