  • First thing, admitting that you have a problem is the hardest step to take, so you're already doing better than when I was in college suffering from burnout. 15 years later and I'm finally wrapping up my degree.

    I'd figure out the sleep problems first medically if it were me. That one's going to fuck you over even after college. Talk to a doctor and make sure everything's good there. If that's an isolated issue, then you need to tackle the self-discipline issue. I'd see how you feel after the sleep issue is fixed as to whether you need more medical help or not. Everything else could be exacerbated by the lack of a consistent sleep schedule.

    You'll want to be open with your parents and in the meantime ask for their assistance keeping you straight. Turns out, you can't independently manage your life right now, so apologize to them and ask for them to help you get out of bed and going in the morning while you get yourself back on track.

  • This is setting up for the "plandemic" talk I've been overhearing from the crazy side of my family. Now there's an "other" to point a finger at when Trump's bad decisions allow another unchecked pandemic to happen on his watch.

  • It's an extremely powerful pattern recognition tool. There are uses for that, but your right that people are going the "if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" route.

  • Didn't one ai have a lot of false positives because it would say any picture of skin with a ruler in it was cancer? The moment it saw a ruler it responded with cancer because all the data it was fed about confirmed cancers had rulers in them.

  • I'm only in my mid 30s, but for me, I've never once had peace find me unless I'm neglecting something, but I've found it plenty of times in different ways. Mostly through various creative hobbies, but for me I'm at peace when I'm creating something. If there's anything that gave you a spark of "huh, interesting" give it a try. Could be a creative hobby, could just be reading or watching cheesy b-movies. The point is to give you something to do to trigger the good brain chemicals.

    I'd highly recommend a therapist if you aren't seeing one already. As regularly as you can, since they can help you offload and work through your feelings and thoughts to keep you pointed at the path. Find a practice that isn't licensed to prescribe medication if you're worried about getting put on another med, and don't be afraid to shop around. Like a partner, it can take a few tries to find the right therapist.

  • Right, because the refundians are a loose collective, and CIG is a company. You can't point at a singular post and go "there's the brigading," mostly because they get removed by mods, but hate groups brigade. But to cite a source, the Derek Smart "90 day cash flow" claim is a good place to start.

    CIG has plenty of things to rightfully criticize, but this isn't one of them until multiple people from multiple sources come forward. It's sensationalist bullshit until proven otherwise.

  • What's your reason for asking? I'm assuming because you linked a rag piece and not the original reddit thread for context?

    I'd need to see at least two different people with the same claim submit redacted copies. One of which should not have any history on the refunds reddit. One motivated person could forge an NDA, and again, I wouldn't put it past that community to hallucinate yet another slight.

  • I agree. I use very little gas to heat my water for my hydronic system and the tap. I replaced an old oil hydronic heater and traditional electric water heater with a natural gas combi boiler that does both home heat and hot water. My utility bills went through the floor, and over the whole year I put a fraction of the CO2 into the atmosphere than I did in just a winter of the old oil furnace.
