This mindset is silly. Agentic tasks and generating videos, sure, but these models use less energy to generate text than a few minutes of playing video games. You better at least be vegan, going around talking like that

Unless you mean because it's taking jobs, ruining art, and surveiling us and such? That's valid, but using it for free doesn't support it, so...

I tried to look it up but the internet doesn't no

Hears my theory:

  • people say "listen to your guts"

  • guts has bacteria's and are bacteria's makes us happy or sad (this is science)

  • guts are stinky because of the bacteria's

  • people say "follow your instinks"

So is that this is if why we say to follow your instinks because their are stinks inside are guts that tells us what to do?

What do you think?

At the point of full expansion, it can feel like a rubber band snap in the chest,

I often struggle with arythmia, angina, and palpitations, with up to several seconds between beats sometimes, and this sounds horrific. I'd rather double my heart problems than trade them for this

IMPORTANT PSA FOR PARENTS (anarchist.nexus)

Be sure to bless your kids EVERY TIME they sneeze even when they sneeze a bunch of times within only a little while and it gets extremely annoying

My dad would only ever bless me the first time and then he'd say "okay now you're just looking for attention" and then he wouldn't bless me for the rest of my sneezes and that's how I got the Gay in me because the Devil snuck in

The lady at church told me this and that's how come I know it's true

The Problem

Ordering food is an inherently embarrassing experience. It requires us to vocalize our wants and desires to a server or cashier- an act that exposes our vulnerabilities (bad). This process is immature and childish, as it involves explicitly stating what we need or want, rather than simply accepting what is given to us like a grown up.

The Implication

When we order food, we are not only stating what we want, but also implicitly stating what we don't want. This is the behavior of a baby. Aww, does da widdle baby have pwefwences?. Pathetic. By doing this, we demonstrate a severe lack of self-respect.

The Exception

There is, however, one notable exception that cannot go unmentioned: ramen. Ramen (asian) is sexy, and it's okay to want it. Cultural influences have made it acceptable to express desire for this particular food. You'll surely find, with any amount of concerted effort, that one cannot express their desires for anything but ramen without feeling embarrassed. Ramen is simply an exception to the rule.

Extrapolation

Dipping foods into sauces or dips is especially problematic. Dips are just extra flavor, and by using them, let alone requesting them, we are effectively saying that the food itself is not flavorful enough for us. This is equivalent to a toddler needing bright colors and fun sounds to focus. Even the act of dipping is obviously embarrassing in itself- this needs no explanation.

Conclusion

The act of expressing our desires has significant consequences. It makes us feel embarrassed, vulnerable, and childish. By avoiding the expression of desire, we can maintain our maturity and avoid feelings of shame.

Understanding Service Industry Induced ADHD

What is even SIADHD?

Service Industry Induced ADHD (SIADHD) is a condition that affects individuals who have spent too long working in the service industry. It's characterized by classic symptoms of ADHD in addition to symptoms such as:

  • Existence feels crunchy
  • Excessive too muchness
  • Inappropriate laughter
  • Incongruent smiling
  • Difficulty controlling train of thought, often manifested as a tendency to overthink, anticipate, catastrophize, and replay past interactions, wondering what could have been done differently and lamenting your entire life trajectory up to this point and seriously considering ending it all but then questioning who would cover your shift
  • Irritability

Coping Mechanisms

  1. Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as sitting, staring, or over-sharing.
  2. Develop a pre-shift routine: Establish a calming pre-shift routine, such as listening to Pierce the Veil, pulling your hair, or sipping a cup of tea, to help you prepare for the chaos ahead.
  3. Take breaks: When possible, leave your phone to prevent distractions, walk into the woods where you can be alone with nature, and don't come back.
  4. Set boundaries: Learn to say "no" to requests that are outside of your job description or that interfere with your personal time. (Helpful Tip: Consider the tried & true method of using diarrhea as an excuse)

Treatment Options

  1. Caffeine management: Try to limit your caffeine consumption to no less than 300mg per day.
  2. Mindfulness and meditation: Regular mindfulness practice can help you develop greater self-awareness, ultimately making things worse.
  3. Journaling: Writing down your thoughts and experiences can help you look and feel productive and stable. Combine with nicotine because why not.
  4. Seek professional help: If your symptoms are severe or interfering with your daily life, consider seeking help from a professional sniper who can take out management personnel and/or problematic customers.

Helping A Loved One with SIADHD: ASS

  1. Assistance: Help your loved one with tasks or errands, like vacuuming right when they get home from work. Offer to get them drugs, and let them fuck their coworkers.
  2. Stability: Foster much needed congruence between work and home by acting like you're in a rush all the time, and also berate your loved one.
  3. Support: When your loved one needs to talk, relate to them by telling them about your own problems, and reassure them that they don't really have it that bad.

Conclusion

SIADHD is a real and challenging condition that affects many individuals in the service industry. By acknowledging its existence, identifying coping mechanisms, and seeking support, you can better manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Remember to be patient and compassionate with yourself and others who may be struggling with SIADHD. With the right tools and support, it's possible to survive the service industry for a couple more years maybe.

Thanks for saying that! I've been wondering about the downvotes too. I reposted it with the "Fake Ad" tag thinking it was because it looked like a real ad, but that clearly wasn't it 😅

My only other guess is the image comes across as misogynistic if you don't read the post

Welcome to BattleShip! Couples Counseling, an innovative approach to resolving conflicts in your relationship. Through our cutting-edge virtual platform, you and your partner will engage in exciting gameplay under the guidance of qualified therapists.

How It Works

Step 1: Identify Your Player Type

First, you'll need to set up your profile by identifying your player type. Your options are:

  • Secure
  • Anxious
  • Avoidant
  • Disorganized

Step 2: Choose Your League

Next, select a league from which to choose your therapist. The leagues correspond to the player types. Consider whether you want the advantage of having a therapist who specializes in your type or one that focuses on your partner's type.

Step 3: Develop Your Moves

Once you've chosen a therapist, you’ll work one-on-one to develop and refine four key moves for the battle ahead. For example:

  • An Avoidant League therapist might teach you how to apologize without actually being sorry.
  • An Anxious League therapist might teach you to express opinions as feelings to ensure that disagreeing is perceived as an act of invalidation.

Step 4: Select Your Issues

Before the battle begins, both teams must choose two relationship issues to focus on. Each therapist will listen to both partners' perspectives on these issues.

The Battle

Finally, the battle commences! Your therapist will provide strategic guidance on which moves to deploy and when. A third therapist will serve as the referee, ensuring a fair game and determining when one partner has been defeated.
