This is something I've been doing since before AI, so it's not that... but yeah.

Can you clarify? I have several family members with accounts and we don't see each others pictures. Are you uploading to a shared album?

I get that. But at the same time, when shit does go wrong, it's so much harder to work around their whole system when it's so unfamiliar. I'm not speaking from experience with unraid. Just other NAS solutions (TrueNAS) and other "easy mode" options from other tech. I almost always end up tossing it out for the less hand-holing option. Because then I have to understand it, and if I understand it, it becomes so much easier.

Recently started the second book in the Bobiverse series. Really enjoyed the first one, but I did have to try a couple times to get into it. Once I did though, I couldn't put it down. The audiobook is narrated by Ray Porter who also does Project Hail Mary. Great narrarator.

I'm not super familiar with fiber. There's no modem or anything needed? Don't they still track data usage? Are they able to do that without any intermediate equipment?

Care to explain what you mean? Are you saying you can run fiber in your house? Doesn't that still require some form of equipment from an ISP to actually go out to the internet?

I get that. Have you read The Egg by Andy Weir? If not, there's a Kurzgesagt video that's just that story with animation. I'd suggest it. It touches on this concept and kinda paints a more optimistic picture.

Right, I agree. But when you see posts like, "the adhd way I hold my pencil" and it's literally just how you're taught to hold a pencil, it starts to be problematic. If you make everything that's "normal" into something that's neurodivergent, it's gonna make actual traits and symptoms seem much more abnormal. And it also encourages people to claim they have it when they don't. Like when someone says they have OCD because they like their desk to be organized. I know that organization can be a symptom of OCD, but the severity of the stress and discomfort of disorganization when you have OCD is gonna be much higher. So it creates a sort of distorted image of what these things look like and it makes it harder for society as a whole to recognize actual neurodivergence. "My cousin has OCD and he's not like that, you're just being weird" is a sentiment I've heard way too often.

If you're actually concerned, get checked out. While I appreciate the rising visibility of neurodivergent traits, it's also very clear that ADHD (and to a lesser extent, autism) are very much "in style" because people will make a meme around just about any human feeling and claim it to be related to ADHD or autism. This one seems a bit more relevant, but again, if you're truly concerned, get checked out. Don't rely on memes from the internet to diagnose you.

You seem like the kinda guy who could see someone invent a machine that cures cancer, but you'd still complain because it can't suck your dick

What's wrong with that book?

I was so confused until I read this. I was comparing the post and this original one for way too long.

What did you have posted originally?
