*dissociative identity disorder

EatYouWell,

Multiple personality disorder is a universally understood term. This isn’t an academic or medical setting, so the official DSM-5 name isn’t necessary.

Yes, but the name was changed for a reason almost 30 years ago. Even though it’s just a silly comic, a person suffering from the disorder especially should be using the correct term.

Boring. If you’re gonna destroy a CD just wedge it on a Dremel and spin it until it explodes.

i actually burned a cd yesterday.. a boot disk for a utility.

only to find the system i needed it for didn't support legacy boot, and the boot image didn't have uefi support.

i had to take out an audio cd to burn it.. so yea, cd do get used here.. occasionally. probably been a year or more since that audio cd had been played.

Better for actually owning music instead of a license

Lies. CDs are useful for ripping to FLAC and then putting away in a box somewhere never to be seen again.

threelonmusketeers,

I must be uninformed. What is FLAC, and should I be using it?

name_NULL111653,
  1. Free lossless audio codec.
  2. Yes.
can, (edited )

Yes. MP3 was good for making a really small file but it lost quality, flac makes a small(ish) file but no audio information is lost at all. With current storage capacities its worth it.

PsychedSy,

They’re useful if opsec lets you bring them into secure areas. Sealed. And they only get to leave shredded.

That’s the main reason I buy cds. It is near impossible to get a flac copy online for some artists.

I’d like to say thanks to the Binding of Isaac for allowing me to get this joke.

evolatic,

Can you help me. I’m so lost.

Do not recommend image searching.

slaacaa,

Jesus, even the wiki images are nightmare fuel

clay_pidgin,

It’s incredibly sad.

twice_twotimes,

I made a mistake. I make a mistake. I made a mistake.

clay_pidgin,

Sorry, friend. I tried to warn ya.

QuiteQuickQum,

It’s a risky seach if you’re squeamish, but Harlequin disease is skin mutation(?) that leads to babies being born with cracked skin and puffy red eyes. The cracks somewhat evoke the patterning of Harlequin’s motley attire.

Carvex,

Thanks Triple Q

Triple_B,

You’re welcome.

QuiteQuickQum,

Stolen valor! 🤣

Thanks for explaining. Now that I know, I realized that I heard of it before from this Mortal Kombat short film. It was the “realistic” reason for the way Reptile looks.

Triple_B,

For the Binding of Isaac connection, there’s an item called Harlequin Baby that adds a follower that’s… well, a harlequin baby.

I’d like to thank my designer friend who at a bar told about a thing she was designing, but as someone didn’t know the pattern type, somebody did an image search. We never got back to the design talk.

logicbomb, in Random 6-8-2006

I almost didn’t get it. I guess because of my weird brain, my first reaction was to wonder why the items you find in the shower would be upset that an item not in the shower would think that cartoonists get most of their ideas in the shower. Surely, they’d be proud that they inspired the creativity.

But that’s got nothing to do with the joke.

I wish I could go back… No doubt in my mind we’d take state.

TheBlue22, in Random 11-6-2017

Almost 2 years ago, to the day, pretty much, I was in the darkest places I’ve even been in mentally, thinking about stuff daily that remembering now… is awful.

Now? Now it’s so much better. I worked like hell to get myself from that hole, to slowly build back my confidence, to be an adult, and it’s starting to pay off.

What I am trying to say is that even in our darkest moments, there always exits a brighter day. There is always a tomorrow, next week, next month or next year.

If you feel lost or that there is no hope, I understand because I’ve been there. If anyone reading this feels that, do PM me if you want to. I’ll gladly talk to you. I am no psychologist or something, but I guess a conversation doesn’t hurt.

Fucking OUCH!

LemmyKnowsBest, in Random 11-6-2017

Even when I’m feeling miserable, I look back at that point of my life a year or two later and it seems absolutely magical.

In the moment I was living it, there were magical moments interspersed with long debilitating periods of nothingness which were the hard parts.

When we look back in retrospect, we remember the high points. The magical moments. we tend to forget the long boring dull moments or excruciating pain and effort required to earn the magical moments.

And that’s why we romanticize the past.

Anticorp,

What’s interesting is that people who are generally unhappy have brains that work differently. They look back and they only see the negatives, and forget the good times. I have a family member like that and it’s really difficult, for them and for people who love them.
