As someone with chronic issues, the amount of timed doctors just shrug and give up is kinda high.

Thats what I like House M.D. though, because it’s basically a Sherlock show, there’s always an answer. Unlike in real life, where they just send you home without actually figuring things out. I’ve had like 8 seizures in the last 10 years and still the best I’ve got it “idk, MRI seemed clear” and that’s all.

It’s not always to actually shoot the deer, when you see hunters at night using spotlights to, well, spot deer. We used to do it when I was 18 as well. It was more to find and designate feeding places for the deer and then plan shooting spots based on that.

This is incredibly reaffirming, thank you. The problem is either in Finland, or Finnish, or SW Finland or Finnish (we’ve lots of dialects and I think ours is probably one of the most rudest sounding one) or just me. But like, I’m really good at customer service, and can be very nice to people. But… I can also be really fucking nasty, I know that. And a lot of the times even too nasty for my own taste, but sometimes just hunger and loneliness really grinds ones gears and I can’t help it.

Usually I don’t do it completely without reason, so I’m just “overreacting”, but like in general I feel the threshold for Finns to consider something an “overreaction” is waaaayyy smaller than with any international friends I’ve hung with. I mean especially Anglos. Or especially Aussies, actually.

Hell the moment I found one in Turku I spent like two days drinking and smoking with the feller. Good times. His tobacco was fucking strong, no idea where he got it. In a leathery pouch and smelled of like old tar and medieval times. Funny guy. Smoked me under the table, but I didn’t have much tolerance back then.

Thanks for empathy. Honestly it’s just like, I don’t expect more. It was quite the experience, and I’d just like a little empathy from family and friend’s but ugh.

Anyway, its good to know there is some out there at least. Thank you again. Have a nice day.

Been there done that. First time when I was 13.

I too, recommend avoiding it.

You’re very right in how methheads behave. But I think you’re sort of making a false dichotomy a bit there as well.

It’s more like almost a waking dream at that point. The reality mixes in with the dreams, instead of just you being in one or the other.

See this here jailcell. They denied me my meds and I was awake for three days straight. I ate my pinky bloody so I could use it as a red magic marker. Anyway. What starts out as rather complex philosophical quotes (see top left of the image) goes through simpler ones into basically ACAB with large stick letters… and then by the 78h mark or so… I could no longer read any of the text I had written on the walls. It was fucking weird, but I couldn’t read. All of the marks, letters, just looked like dancing ballerina figurines, and I could not make any of them up for what they meant.

So like, yeah, you’re right in that the methheads have been awake for too long and dream things, but the dreaming happens while they’re awake. The dreams mix with the waking world.

One night missed sleep is like nothing tho. I used to pull 20+ hour shifts while driving a taxi. (Despite what you might think, there’s absolutely no drivetime regulations like with HGV’s, even here in Finland. Also no minimum wage, I drove on commission)

Well written though, well described.

Depends on the amount of stimulants used.

Without any, 2.5 at the most.

Yeah and half of those things it keeps asking to go and use Google workspaces or some other “give more permissions pls” shit.

Oh yeah it’s fucking annoying. The assistant without AI used to work better. Especially now that I’m controlling my lights with it.

Although I must say that the Philips Hue mobile UI is sooo garbage that I still prefer using Gemini to change my lights. And Hue has had a few articles saying they can just use code to use the lamps themselves as motion detectors, because they’re WiFi transceivers and can sense how much the connection is bothered by you moving. Which would make me stop using them if I had anything to hide.

I mean, I know the whole “nothing to hide” isn’t an argument against overt privacy invasion, but I just can’t go back to using lightswitches with a lamp with one hue and intensity.

Nuh-uh. RGB all the way.

It’s so much better using light as an alarm than an actual alarm clock. With an alarm clock the waking up is like when you wake up to a predator. Alarming. Stressful. Waking up from light is like waking up to the sun rising. Peaceful. Calm. You don’t even notice it.

I don’t have ADHD, but I’ve found that a daily dose of caffeine seems to keep my guts in better check. I honestly don’t even like it as much, but definitely has an impact on the gut.

So annoying how Google has a monopoly to just put that as default to people.

About 2 hour’s ago Gemini insisted it’s 32 hours until tomorrow’s BF update. It comes out in like 18 hours.

Yep. Finns are emotionally stunted addicts for the most part.

answer your silly question, it’s impossible to say -

No shit, Sherlock.

Which is why your complaint that bringing up all the hundreds of fucking privacy laws which explicitly define privacy is “childish and facile” is goddamn hilarious.

You’re just a sore kid crying because he was wrong.

You’re an illiterate moron.

Try to recap your point. Wait, you have none, because you too have admitted that metas glasses aren’t in any way a new problem.

That’s like being so shittingly brainless that you’d argue that the drug trade was invented with tor-networks.

You have no point you have no argument you’re just moving the goalposts because your tiny little ego can’t take having been wrong. I sincerely do hope you’re a kid, because having a psyche like that as an adult would be pitiful.

It’s not art, I’d argue. In the same scene that some long filmed things aren’t cinema.

Honestly, very generalised from my point of view.

I could list a dozen people with at least a majority of those characterisrics. Most with all of them.

Hypocritical Finnish drunks with infidelity problems who pretend they’re the shining beacon of morality and ruin people’s lives over cannabis despite drinking themselves unconscious several times a week.

I was (and am) hypervigilant because of the environment I grew up in.

By 7 I was already traumatised, probably. Didn’t know it back then though.

Fucking lol.

What you’re doing is “moving the goalposts”.

I’ll answer anyway; do you know what the resolution of an analog camera is, dipshit?

(edit, this is literally 90 years old)

creep defenders gonna defend creeps I guess.

How exactly did I defend anyone by showing you laws against “creeps” from prolly before you were born? You’re just pissy I proved you so thoroughly wrong. Those aren’t even the first privacy laws, they’re just one example.

To think that voyeurism as a problem has just arrived because of fking meta-glasses is so childish and you’re having a tantrum because you don’t want to admit to being wrong in public.

Yeah I believe it is a problem, but not a new one. It’s just made it tiny bit more convenient for the richer perverts, that’s all. (Although I noticed in my years of driving taxis a (spurious?) correlation between rich and perverted. And that definition for me does not include any of what the right would consider perverted, like most LGBTQ+ even in party getup)

It’s like saying I’m dismissing uber-drivers getting robbed, because taxing drivers were robbed for literacy centuries before the invention of uber. Except that’s a bad analogy, since uber needs your details whereas you can just hop into a taxi easily and anonymously.

But idk, porch pirates were a thing before amazon delivery was so popular, now they’re more plentiful, despite increase in doorbell cams.

I’m not dismissing privacy invasions casually. I’m pointing out that the problems isn’t new

In the 90’s and 00’s there was a “video voyeurism” panic even, because the huge shoulderheld cameras became smaller and in the early noughts you already had tiny spycam gadgets. Disney world upskirting, upskirting on the streets, definitely harassing masseuses, etc.

Because I think you’d agree that this was before smartphones or smartglasses, since it’s from 2003 and we all know congresses of any sort aren’t quick to do anything:

##Congress Criminalizes Video Voyeurism

On September 21, the House approved, by voice vote, a bill (S. 1301) aimed at preventing video voyeurism. The Senate approved the measure on September 25, 2003 (see The Source, 9/26/03). It will now go to the White House for President Bush’s signature.

Sponsored by Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH), the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act would make it a federal crime to knowingly “capture,” by videotaping, filming, or photographing, an “improper image” of another individual, defined in the bill as “an image, captured without the consent of that individual, of the naked or undergarment clad genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or female breast of that individual.” The term “broadcast” means electronically transmitting a visual image “with the intent that it be viewed by a person or persons.” In order to convict an offender of video voyeurism, prosecutors would have to show that the individual knowingly intended to capture the image.

Del. Donna Christensen (D-VI) said that video voyeurism “is a serious crime, the extent of which has been greatly exacerbated by the Internet. Because of Internet technology, the pictures that a voyeur captures can be disseminated to a worldwide audience in a matter of seconds. As a result, individuals in the victims’ rights community have labeled video voyeurism ‘the new frontier of stalking.’”

Stressing the need for a federal law criminalizing video voyeurism, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) explained that many states “have passed laws that target video voyeurism to protect those in private areas, but there are fewer protections for those who may be photographed in compromising positions in public places. S. 1301 makes the acts of video voyeurism illegal on Federal lands such as national parks and Federal buildings, using the well-accepted legal concept that individuals are entitled to a reasonable expectation of privacy. It also serves as model legislation for States that have not yet enacted their own laws or need to update existing laws to account for the rapid spread of camera technology.”

It’s still a problem which needs to be addressed, but banning smart glasses is hardly the solution, because a) bans don’t really work that well and b) because it’s just an empty gesture for the most part, since the dedicated perverts still have their ways.

Oh right. Well, it’s still quite a cool fact. I’m not really into pens.
