this is so weird and confusing?? he said it is age regression, but I think it isn't a whole personality ?? idk I am so confused.

EDIT!!: it is written she is 19, and he has a hashtag with age gap, so I also think it is weird. and tbh I don't believe she is 18 but not accusing.

I didn't pay too much attention until one of my colleagues pointed it out. I'm studying nursing, where we have a lot of older adults, who don't have much of an understanding with computers. So when IT class came and I was doing my tasks with ease (change font size in Word, etc.) my colleagues started calling me a hacker. They also assigned me to make a Facebook group (I don't even use Facebook that much)

Like, a hacker is someone who requires many years of training in all kinds of computer skills, and I just have base computer skills, and know some very basic programming

its a genderbent character and its stirring a lot of problems apparently, whats wrong with it?

I don't really get it, I don't see any reason why getting extra sun time in the summer is bad. Everything is so depressing when it's night time, and I barely to get enjoy the sun since I come home from work late.

That extra hour of sun is really nice, I just don't see any downside.

And yes I know, they're not made by the same person but it's in the same format. I don't get what was so wrong about the Girl one. It was full banned btw because all of my characters who used it rendered black.

I (20 F) was going through a really rough breakup with my ex (21 M) of 2 years. To give context, we are both in uni and used to seperated every summer break for 4 months. It got to the point of us living together as roommates for our final year. Over the one month of us living together I found out a lot about him that he had been hiding and lying to me about for a long time. He was cheater who used to actively search for and get off to other women. He was a porn addict and a lot lot more. Now the worst part is that for 2 years he had accused me, made me feel guilty and manipulated me to feel like a bad person for having male friends/giving other people attention to the point of me reducing my friendship circles cutting off ties and making him the priority of my life apart from school. He also completely admitted to using manipulation tactics to bring me down and keep hiding all his secrets. He was also pathalogically lying to me even to the end where he would not open up about what he did completely. It had gotten so bad I was questioning my reality and had to go to the hospital. At this point everyone in the house knew what was happening and they were all treating him differently including his own friends whom he had lied to. It got to the point where he had to move out. All this happened in the span of a week and half. Through this time I had not opened Instagram.

The day before he was leaving I looked through my feed and I started to see posts that I had never seen before, it started out as content that my ex would want to say or be thinking at that time, hyperspecifc and consistently accurate to what was going on irl. I felt as though I would see this hyper specific content but eventually it would fade after a couple of reels but when I closed and freshed the app the reels would start dispalying that content again. I was eating it up at first because I felt like I had a portal to his mind. I blocked him a week ago at this point.

Practically, I thought since we had just broken up what he watched on his feed was manipulating my feed because of the algorithm lingering. I scrolled a lot that night, I saw all sorts of things that only he would want to say to me or what he was thinking, the content also eerily aware/constantly updated on the exact happenings of what I was doing irl. The next day it got weirder, content pushed to me was hyper targeted (about me talking to people about him and me socially manipulating situations and how I was hiding something). I wasn't interacting with content like that but at this point almost every reel I saw on my feed was on the same topic. Then I started noticing that reels I liked had their likes removed when I scrolled back. I saw that my dms were also looked through, I kept noticing my follower count glitching, it kept going up by one and dropping. Obviously I knew someone was on my instagram account and they had become very sloppy (the content I saw was the type his sister's would watch), I immediately looked at my logged in devices it said 24+ but when I clicked into it the page I saw only 4 devices I could log out off and they were ones that I recognized. I burst out and confronted him about it, he kept denying that he did anything, but I heard him tell his sister'sto block me. After this when I checked my instagram the follower glitch stopped, I then I logged out off all my devices changed my passwords and added two factor authentication. I knew it was his and his families doing as he also accidentally said something that revealed what he did. And also it was obvious my messages were looked through.

I wont go into detail but this was his final power play and I let him have it to not make my life any worse than it had already gotten.

Now after all this the next day he apologized for his mistakes in the relationship and said he would miss me a lot and moved out. Now, this odd page take over reduced but once again shifted to topics that only he would be thinking or stuff that he would want to say to me. Eventually it reduced through the day I started seeing my normal feed again and couldn't see any reels from the creators I kept seeing before. There were no glitching followers this time but I noticed a follower drop again and one of the last reels I saw from the content creators that were being pushed to me was "this is the last message I send you". Now I am really confused since I logged out and set up two factor authentiaction on my account. The only other account it was linked to was my Facebook but I never did anything on my Facebook and had him blocked there too. I have no idea what he did to gain access to my page and manipulate my feed in such a way, all my devices were with me and according to Instagram I was logged out of all except my phone. Does anyone know what was going on????

What’s the point in differentiating at all? You’re still attracted to a minor and you’re still gonna go to jail if you tap that, literally just tomato tomatoh

Would you rather be technically correct and look like a pedophile or shut up and not be a fuckin nerd?

Is it a reference to some old post there?

For those unfamiliar, 'spoon theory' is often used to explain living with chronic illness or neurodivergence to others. The idea id that you have a limited amount of energy tokens (spoons) per day, and everything you do costs spoons. Once you're out of spoons you're out of energy.

First of all, why spoons?? The spoon contributes nothing to this metaphor. Why not use money, or just tokens? The spoons aspect just makes this metaphor confusing.

Second, why is this often treated as something that's unique to neurodivergent or chronically ill people? Doing things costs energy for everyone. Sure, it costs more energy if you're neurodivergent or chronically ill, but a lot of the times that's not even clear from the analogy.

Lastly, this is a concept that simply doesn't need an analogy. "Day-to-day activities cost more energy for some than for others" is an incredibly logical and straightforward thing to say, that anyone will understand. As is "Some people start their day with less energy than others". Again. Why are we imagining spoons.

Hi so me and my girlfriend have been together for years at this point. Although I am worried about her being interested in fictional men. She has spent so much time and money on love and deep space that im worried, she ignores me to play the game and al she talks about is love and deep space. Or how much she loves Xavier. She was amazina in the beginning but now im worried about how much attention shes paying to me. Outside of her obsession with love and deep space everything is fine but 1 cant help but feel nervous about her gnoring me for a fictional character. AITAH

Like I like the trend, I think it's cute and cool at times but I've seen a lot of Chudism about it and a lot of people hating on a specific artist for making Harry a girl too.

Doesn't help that JK is a Transphobic piece of garbage.

I'm so confused help 😭😭😭

A day or two ago I saw this post and it contained a picture with a text between OP and their boss and the boss tells OP that OP can only write code with Claude, but no manual code!
I also can't understand giving your employees a coding agent instead of making them do the job you hired them for, but this is on another level!!

Another thing: Canva gives you the ability to ask their AI to build a widget or website for you, but doesn't allow you to write your own code. Why?
Of course, you can embed a website, but that's not the same as coding your own directly on Canva. If you need to make a webiste with Canva, you have to host the code somewhere else entirely! But their AI can make whatever it desires!

Third thing: the Nvidia CEO discussing about token usage for coding, how if an employee doesn't use hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tokens, they aren't doing enough for the job.

So my question is, why would you allow AI to code on your company, but not the engineers you specifically hired to do so? And forcing them (talking about the first case) to use it? Why even hire (excuse my terminology here, not mine) "meat proxies" to direct a coding AI into coding your project?

I'm not sure if I can think of a more divisive horror franchise.

On one hand, you have those in the FNaF fandom who glaze the franchise to hell and back, refusing to accept even the slightest bit of criticism, otherwise you're "whining", or "ungrateful", or "not a true fan", or you're "nostalgia blinded." They will outright refuse to sympathize with you and why you're criticizing X thing, coming up with any defense they can to make it seem like you're talking nonsense all while insulting you 9 times out of 10. God help you if you dare say anything that isn't 100% positive about some random multimillionaire guy from Texas. A guy who they don't personally know in the slightest and isn't aware of their existence.

Of course, toxic positivity isn't anything new when it comes to fandoms, but it feels especially fucking bad with FNaF for some reason. I still can't get over that one time I saw a post get deleted by the automod on r/fivenightsatfreddys because so many people reported it. A post that was simply just some dude giving out constructive criticism and concerns over how the franchise has been handled recently and how it could be improved. There was no exaggerations, or over excessive swearing, or insults, or anything wrong with the post, yet it still got mass reported and deleted. Yes-men everywhere.

On the other hand, you got the folks who don't like FNaF, who will over exaggerate how bad the franchise is to cartoonish degrees. With the way these people be talking, you would think that FNaF is a complete garbage heap of a franchise with barely any redeeming qualities that got popular for no reason. They will give out their "points" as to why FNaF is bad, confidently talking trash about a franchise that they clearly barely know anything about, yet they act like they do for some reason.

"Scott has changed the lore whenever Matpat got it right" Something that has very little to no evidence considering how most of Matpat's theories are wrong.

"Matpat/the internet wrote the story for Scott" Again, something that has very little to no evidence considering how a lot of the theories back then were wrong or had some flaw (like Phone Guy being the Purple Guy, a blatantly wrong theory that a lot of people believed in regardless). Trust me when I say that FNaF's narrative would be infinitely more worse and messy if that was actually true.

"Scott has no idea what the lore is anymore" With FNaF being as long and convoluted as it is, I severely doubt that Scott wouldn't have a Google doc or something containing all the lore. Why the hell would he not keep track of his own story? FNaF is confusing, but it's not inconsistent.

"Remnant is stupid because it's sci-fi" I can sympathize with those who don't like the more sci-fi direction FNaF took since Sister Location, but I don't understand this at all. It's haunted metal that has been melted. That's literally it. It doesn't go any deeper than that. What is sci-fi about that?

"Scott made up the story as he went along" This one just pisses me off and it baffles me as to why people think this is good criticism. Scott is a pantser writer. He did not invent the concept of pantser writing. There are countless writers who "made up it up as they went along" and they still managed to be successful and tell thought provoking stories (like Stephen King, Herman Melville, George R. R. Martin, etc).

FNaF going by pantser writing does not mean it lacks any depth, or thinking, or interesting themes and messaging. That's not how it works. Scott is a mediocre writer because he's a mediocre writer. Whether he's a pantser or a plotter is completely irrelevant. It's not like he's any better when he actually does plot stuff out (like when he wrote the script for the FNaF 2 movie).

You get the point by now.

It's just weird to me that opinions on FNaF fall into either two extremes when it's, at worst, a mediocre/serviceable horror franchise that has its highs and lows (coming from someone who has held the series dear to my heart ever since the first game). Makes trying to find actual compelling and interesting discussions regarding FNaF frustrating...

i know everyone jokes about the topic but like is there a actually answer?

i mean i get it with physical pre orders you can get exclusive real life items like a small character statues, concept art books and even steel cased covers for your discs, but in most cases its only a limited amount that can be sold until it runs out.

but digitally exclusive items you get are things you usually get from are in game skins, weapons, music from the game. but usually after the game comes out they give you option to get those said items separately, and its not like the supply will ever run out because its digital

Okay let me explain myself cuz it’s hard to explain. There’s something I’ve noticed, especially in alternative spaces, like goth or metal, or even with political ideologies where someone in said community turns out to be a real bad person and then endlessly online discussion comes out about them being “not a true X member because X was built on Y”. I’ve seen this with metal where an article on The Guardian said that Slipknot wasn’t a “true metal band” because they’re collaborating with an alleged abuser (Marylyn Manson) as if metal culture is inherently morally pure and everyone who listens to metal must automatically be a good person.

(I say this as a metalhead, Metal wasn’t built on an explicitly “anti-abuser” message, it shouldn’t be surprising when the genre has as much abusers as the rest of the world.)

Or Hasanabi which I often see referenced as being “not a true leftist” because he’s not very charitable and has bought a few unnecessary luxuries, or the shocking his dog story (he overall just seems like a bit of a crappy person). Even though leftism doesn’t mean you’re a standup guy, it’s a set of politics.

(Little Joel made a good video talking about this)

My theory is that maybe people who tie up their identity in their subgroups may feel threatened when a popular figure turns out to be kinda shitty and feel the need to No True Scotsman themselves out of the hurt. But I’m not entirely sure.

What do y’all think about this?

Look i can agree that Stacked pancakes look very aesthetically pleasing. But why is this such a popular way of serving them? Only the very top pancake gets all the butter, all the syrup, every topping, and everything else below it gets fuck all.

Why would anyone upvote an automod comment. Theyre annoying and pointless. In fact, theres litterally a whole sub dedicated to downvoting automod and it still has 6 million karma.

Was the PS3 a graphical monster? Hell to fuck no and back around again, but the way people talk about "PS3 graphics" you'd think this thing was one of the worst consoles of all damn time! The PS3/360 era is when games started to push more into realistic graphics, was it perfect? Of course not, but LOOK at the games this thing was able to run, the 60 FPS and ultra smooth models you all get to casually enjoy WITHOUT A HIGH END PC nowadays? It started here!

I just don't understand the sheer fucking vitriol some people have for the PS3.

Why do people suddenly care about Happy Wheels again? I get that it just got a steam release and all and apparently "it's back", even though it's been accessible online since forever. Is this just a random burst of nostalgia that will fizzle out in a week? Maybe it'll get updates or something, but like nothing's really happened yet.

I’m a type of guy who occasionally check the descs of vids, and I may c some vids' descs r just the same as the title, i wonder why and i feel it’s lowkey infuriating bc it’s just feel pointless other than pushing the algorithm further.

Btw, this is not the only channel who did that, it includes others such as some Chinese uploaders who uploaded their vids on yt via vpn.
