One of my laptops decided to apply the monthly Windows update mid-morning with no warning, then proceeded to shit the bed. Just spent three hours getting it back to stable. Still have to actually apply the update.

Still better than Apple. :meguusmug:

sometimes my laptop will just randomly shut down after I open eitheir chrome or bing. usually happens after I connect it to the internet ocne its previously been disconnected.
I think its cause at soem point I caused a memory leak by playing too much Stellaris (fixed it by reinstalling windows).

Counter offer:
You mail me $10 of delicious local snack foods in a box.
I empty the box out when it gets here, keep the snacks, and put the computer in the box.
Then I mark the box 'undeliverable, return to sender' and take it back to the shipper to be returned to you.

I was recently diagnosed with both Asperger‘s and ADHD (apparently the latter is commonly partnered with the former), and I’m now taking meds. I told the psychoanalyst I can read people pretty well from their facial expressions, their habits and their vocal expressions, and they told me the fact that I can’t read people more instinctively and instead spend time and effort discerning them is pretty good evidence for autism.

I’m really, really badly addicted to dopamine, which on occasion has manifested as a video game addiction or a porn addiction, but by far the biggest source is interaction with other people, whether it’s talking to them, chatting with them, or simply being in a room with them. It bothers me how little control I have over my interactions with others, and how often I say stuff I regret afterwards, at the same time it gives me such a kick. I’ve been really pushing myself to focus on my studies the past couple weeks, and I’ve been secretly thinking „Maybe I’ll die from a heart attack, that would really show them“ (it helps that my meds are giving me this weird feeling of power in my chest that causes me to obsess over stuff even more and sometimes gives me the urge to yell or causes me physical pain).

Tbh, while I have been playing Stellaris pretty obsessively when I don't have to write papers, I haven't really followed up on what new DLCs are being released in advance, I just pick them up when they get up and I sometimes check the Stellaris wiki to see what has changed.
The last couple updates were ok, I suppose, I like the Bio-Reactor building and how there's now a better way to manage a massive surplus in food production. Also, the removal of generals as seperate leaders. I think they should make leaders still more self-aware and independent from their respective empires, if there's a rebellion in your realm they should logically be at the head of the revolt, instead they're 100% loyal as long as they exist, even if their ethics are diametrically opposed to your ruler's. Some mechanics to exchange leaders between empires would also be kinda cool ("Empire A sends admiral X to help the slave rebellion of their kinsmen in Empire B", "Empire A forges a formal alliance by sending their imperial princess in marrige to the ruler of Empire B", "Part of the peace treaty between A & B involves B surrendering their imperial heir as an hostage to the court of Empire A", that sort of thing, I realize it's probably not easy to code, though)...

mosquito bite on lip hasn't been healing. this is the 2nd time this happened, last time was around a decade ago and took a month to fully heal. me being a retard and scratching it nonstop and picking the scab off isn't helping either

Time for mosquito genocide.

Or start smoking. They don't bother smokers nearly as much.
(Note: DO NOT START SMOKING.)

I tried smoking during my secondary school, didn't like it, never became a smoker and it's gonna stay that way forever.
I did become a hard alcoholic thanks to my dad's influence though.

Btw, I forgot to ask this, but are you autistic yourself? If so, when were you diagnosed?
pretty early on aparently.
idk, my mom has called me that a few times and said that I had autistic behaviors a few times. so I think I got lucky with my rolls and landed on the "high ranking enough to not count" case. anyways, I almost always play gestalts when it comes to Stellaris and I have almost 1,8k hours on it

Since mangadex posts chapters in real time, I'm increasingly beginning to suspect that I've gotten something like a "social media disease", constantly logging into the site to check translations of new chapters, any interesting comments, etc. I know this is pointless, but since I'm a control freak, I quickly become obsessed with what I can track and check in real time.

I don't know how to upload your own pics here (do you need to upload them first on giphy or Instagram?), but my steam tells me I apparently have 2058 hours of Stellaris playtime, so no worries, you're fine :)
I usually play materialist/pacifist with imperial government and then try to survive getting ganged up on by Evangelizing Zealots, Honorbound Warriors and Democratic Crusaders. I always spawn some spiritual seeker type foxgirls though.
(I should probably stop talking about autism, or they`ll start considering us special showflakes trying to stand out)

It's not about how I can find out about it or not. This is psychological shit. Then I'll just constantly check the rss or visit the site to see if I missed anything.
It's probably a web addiction. Please tell me immediately if I overstep my bounds, but here some suggestions on what has helped me in the past in regards to this:
  • Shut down your device and read a book (Is there a book you wanted to read or finish for a long time? Go for it!)
  • Take a deep breath and go out for a walk. At least 30 minutes, but an hour is recommended. If you have a dog, you can go walk it.
  • Realize that this website and its content really aren't that important to you. Focus your mind on yourself and see if your relationship might become or already be toxic. Don't check for manga updates for at least 3 days, and your perspective might change. Even if you succumb again, you'll know next time that you can get away from it and how to do so.
