I don’t mean to sour the funny, because it is funny/sad indeed, but

If you know you want the info from the official docs, why not do a search that forces results from that site, or search just for the official docs and then find the page you’re after on the docs themselves?

apotheotic,

Nowadays I’m pretty sure stuff like site: foobar still works no? Idk I use ddg so I can’t say with certainty but I feel like “basic” power user stuff should still work right?

apotheotic,

I bloody well hope so? Why would we want sex offenders having a say in legislation? This isn’t trump-era america for fucks sake

apotheotic,

What’s not simple about it, as a password manager? Pop in the name/uri, pop in a username, pop in/generate a password Bingo bango Is there a level of complexity I’m missing, or alternatively is there a simpler approach?

“Every state is necessarily a dictatorship” good gracious me what a horrifying sentiment

apotheotic,

Or, you know, we could not have a dictatorship. Granted, pretty much every large country in the world is struggling with that step right now.

apotheotic,

It appears to be his real voice, but the way he has narrated it has some really strange inflections and is generally monotonous, which gives it that ai generated uncanny feeling.

apotheotic,

If this is the same person from your previous post about ghosting each other for months at a time and only having one date that didn’t go well, then GET OUT OF THERE GIRLY

If its not:

Despite your assertion in the negative, it sounds like you’re being (intentionally or not) love bombed. Its intoxicating but it isn’t sustainable. Even if its not love bombing, it does sound like its a very intense, fast burning thing. You’re talking about marriage and having a family, which I don’t think is necessarily a terrible thing to have your cards on the table about reasonably early on, it seems a bit much.

If you take away the sparkly tingly fun exciting feelings (which will almost certainly dull to a more dull tingle over time), does it still seem right?

It is admirable that he’s putting in the work, but it sounds like he’s quite a far way from finishing his journey.

I’m tempted to say GET OUT OF THERE GIRLY but one never has the full picture with situations like this

apotheotic,

Oh hey I’ll come do a guest spot on your podcast! I was broken up with on valentines day by two different people ;-;

I’m glad I could help you find your answer, even if it was one that sucks a little bit. Sending you a big hug from across the internet

Science generically gets green

But once you reach the point where they’re separate subjects, biology is green, physics is purple, chemistry is green if you don’t take biology otherwise its pink

Whatever your opinions on these though, I present: https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/5519c796-3a9b-41a9-8c86-fafed1f99530.webp

I have chronic sleeping problems therefore I love(d) taking naps but waking up afterwards is absolute hell. What should I do? **Edit: I have found a short-term solution**

I am currently struggling heavily with depression. Which impacts my quality of sleep. Sleep now has never been a talent of mine. So I generally make up for it by napping. I used to absolutely love it. Both the initial and the waking up (feeling well rested). But lately the waking up part is getting more and more difficult. It...

apotheotic,

If you’re struggling heavily with depression, you should definitely speak to your doctor. Antidepressants are a great measure to make things a bit more manageable while you get things back on track, get therapy, etc.

The napping during the day is almost certainly feeding back into worse night time sleep, which makes you need daytime naps, etc. I would do everything in your power to not only stop taking daytime naps, but also to establish a consistent sleep routine and bedtime ritual. You can essentially train your body to know it is bedtime, and a bedtime routine goes a long way with that. Pick a time you’re going to go to sleep every day (including weekends) and a time you’re going to wake up (and be awake) every day, including weekends. Treat them as law (within reason) and you should find it easier and easier to feel sleepy and get to sleep.

Consider using a sleep app (like sleep for android). It tracks your motion while you sleep, and can detect (roughly) your sleep cycles, as well as when you’re awake. If you set an alarm with a “smart period”(which you decide upon, mine is half an hour) for the time you have decided to wake you up, it will track your position in your sleep cycle and try to wake you up when you’re at your lightest sleep, which improves how easy it is to wake up and feel rested.

I know everyone always says “no screens before bed” but like yeah, actually try to get away from screens before bed. Most things we do on screens are very stimulating, which keeps your brain in a more awake, alert state. If you “switch off” an hour before your decided upon bedtime, and go about your bedtime routine, you may find sleep comes a lot easier.

Something that helps me a lot as well with sleep is something I learned from an ex-army chap. While you’re lying down to sleep, find your comfortable position, and then, starting with your tongue (which is actually the most important to focus on in my experience) relax each muscle one by one. I find if I don’t think about it, my tongue will be basically glued to the roof of my mouth and under pressure. Relax your tongue, then your eyes, your brow, cheeks, face, mouth/lips, neck, shoulders, upper arms, lower arms, hands and fingers, your chest and back, then your lower back, unclench your butt (crass but necessary), your upper legs, lower legs, and feet. As you relax each one, just take inventory and make sure the ones you already relaxed are still relaxed, especially your tongue. If you’re finding it hard to “manually” relax a muscle, tense it really hard for 5-10 seconds and then release, it should be easier to just let it relax. This technique is fucking magic I swear to you.

Best of luck to you, internet stranger, and good luck with your mental health journey.

apotheotic,

I’m currently on antidepressants for like, my 7th year? And I was recently pointed to some pretty damning studies on the long term effects. definitely use them as a stopgap, but do whatever work you need to do to address the core issue(s) so you can get off them. Get therapy, establish support networks, work on your tools for dealing with episodes, etc. Then get off them, with your doctors guidance. (Not pointed at you, just commenting in light of what you mentioned about long term use)

apotheotic, (edited )

What the fuck did I say about black men? White men (men, regardless of race, for that matter) scare the fuck out of me my guy

E: You wouldn’t happen to be a… man would you? Would be very fitting with the whole “derailing a conversation about women feeling unsafe” thing.

apotheotic,

“If you change the context, the context changes”

apotheotic,

Yes! As opposed to the man, who would SA me and then kill me!

apotheotic,

The man is not “by default” a serial killer and sa, its just a possibility I don’t want to entertain.

And yes, hello, I am normal person. I understand how hard it is psychologically to murder someone. I also know how hard it is psychologically to SA someone. And yet…

This is a “this is the option I would take” situation. I didn’t insult anyone, I didn’t say YOU have to take the bear. If you disagree, that’s perfectly okay, but you can’t tell me how I should feel, despite many men thinking that’s acceptable.

apotheotic,

Your comment was clearly not from a position of wanting to understand.

apotheotic,

Are you referring to me? I wouldn’t touch tiktok with a 10 foot pole, or any of the infinite scroll short form video things for that matter. I’m not on twitter either. Or tumblr.

My POV is based on my personal experience and the experiences of women around me. And statistics!

apotheotic,

Yeah I realised after a while. What a sad human.

apotheotic,

I hear you. When you’re trying to write one big test that verifies the whole code flow or whatever, it can be HELL, especially if the code has been written in a way that makes it difficult to write a robust test.

God, big mocks are the WORST. It might not be applicable in your case, but I far prefer doing some setup and teardown so that I’m actually making the network request, against some test endpoint that I set up in the setup stage. That way you know the issues aren’t cropping up due to some mocking nonsense going wrong.

Asserting that some arbitrary numbers match can be quite fragile, as I’m sure you’ve experienced. But if the code itsself had been written in such a way that you had an easier assertion to make, well, winner!

Its all easier said than done, of course, but your colleagues having given up on testing because they’re bad at it is kinda disheartening I bet. How are you gonna get good at it if you don’t do it! :D

Should I text him back if we've each ghosted one another for a month at a time and had great phone calls before even going on a date that didn't go well? Please read post for full context

I would really appreciate any help! I connected with this guy on a dating app a few months ago and we started texting. It naturally paused while I was traveling during the holidays, and he said update him upon my return. However, I had to deal with a traumatic personal matter and needed time to decompress after the loss. I was...

apotheotic,

I’m glad I could help, and best of luck!

apotheotic,

So you consider “putting those weird other people in their own rooms away from the rest of us normals” to be inclusive? Its 1 step better than forcing them to be in a room full of people of the opposite gender, sure, but it sure as hell isn’t inclusive. Anyway, this conversation is over a week stale, I don’t care for it anymore. Have a nice life!

apotheotic,

If you knew as much as you try to put on about biological sex, you’d know that’s its far, far more complicated than “male or female” and there are plenty of people who are assigned one thing at birth which doesn’t factually align with their biological sex. So yes, it is an assignment.

I fail to see how a rational inpatient would give the slightest fuck if the girl a bed over from them had a cock when they were born so i dont know what preferred outcome they have in this, and I can speak as a trans person to the fact that it would not be my preferred outcome to be singled out and put in my own room. I’d choose it over being in the male ward, but its not my “preferred outcome”.
