papalonian, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

I see, so you are probably affected by an eating disorder yourself and therefore biased. That explains your stance on the topic.

You either have no idea what you’re talking about, or you’re a troll. Most people stop diagnosing strangers over the Internet when they leave high school. I really hope nobody follows your bad, harmful advice.

Do you find it strange that your professional, sound advice is getting down voted em masse? You really think you’ve got the right take?

papalonian, to asklemmy in How to respond to gf saying "I'm fat"

It doesn’t matter if your intention was the opposite of doing harm. Your advice was not good advice. Your experience with someone who had an eating disorder doesn’t give you the ability to intuitively diagnose everyone that reminds you of their situation as having the same disorder.

You’re making huge assumptions based on little information. Saying people are underweight or hardly eat anything doesn’t even come close to automatically meaning “eating disorder”. I’m underweight myself and eat very little, I’m not anorexic. If I feel chubby after a few days of binge eating, someone trying to make me stop thinking about it by distracting me like a dog isn’t going to help.

Again, I’m assuming your goal is to help so I’m not trying to be rude, but your advice is both making the issue out to be much larger than it probably is (saying she is anorexic/ bulimic while OP never used these words) while simultaneously suggesting he ignore the problem by distracting her. Even if she does have an eating disorder, as others have pointed out, saying things are “a trap” is not a healthy way to look at it, as someone reaching out for help is not doing so to put you in a bad position.

I don’t think you have any experience with eating disorders or women in general. Someone who used to be skinny gaining a bit of weight and feeling fat is not “behavioral patterns connected to anorexia/ bulimia”. And even if it was, how does “this is clearly freaking you out, let’s ignore it and do this instead” supposed to help?

I’ll assume you have the best of intentions in mind, if that’s the case you really shouldn’t be giving advice here because everything you’ve said so far is harmful.

papalonian, to asklemmy in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

I had this realization 2 seconds after posting my comment but figured I’d just let someone else correct me

papalonian, to asklemmy in Lemmings without bidet: how do you deal with your period?

You really can’t think of anything else that 100% of the population can use a bidet for?

papalonian, to lemmyshitpost in Adds new meaning to explosive...

I figured it had something to do with drugs, but what the hell could have happened? I feel like it would take a decent amount of time to make a fire to cause that damage, and it being a toilet seat with water underneath it’s not like they threw something in it

papalonian, to asklemmy in What's the best gaming console and why?

Really depends on your definition of best. I think the PS2 and the Xbox 360 were the last great consoles, they’re the best in my book but they obviously aren’t too common anymore.

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization

If there was an option to hide items marked as wares, this would help.

See above 😉 I do wish there was an option to filter out wares though. Also beware I believe that the “add wares to offer” button does not pull items that are stored in other containers. I’d have to experiment with it more to give a definitive answer but I know that alchemy ingredients in your alchemy pouch do not get added automatically

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization

It gives you an option to auto-add your wares to trades 😉

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization

It will stay in your inventory with a marker and when you reach a trader there is a “add wares to offer” button. Just found this a couple weeks ago myself

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization

That’s actually brilliant, I feel so behind everyone else with their nested pouches and item-forwarding systems.

papalonian, to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

You’re right, the PSU doesn’t care how much money I spent on it.

But a shitty $50 no name PSU is probably gonna blow up before the $150 unit from a solid company with a well established history of quality parts

I’m not saying more expensive PSUs are better, I’m saying that better PSUs tend to be more expensive. Obviously that exploding PSU from a few years ago isn’t better than a cheaper one simply because it cost more.

Never thought “I buy good stuff i have confidence won’t blow up” would be such a controversial take

papalonian, to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

I guess I should clarify what I meant, since you’re the second person to point this out to me (no fault to you, I wasn’t clear).

I’ll always pay for high quality in a PSU, even for non-critical systems. My main PC, home server, and shit box emulator machine on integrated graphics app run the same PSU, only the main PC is a higher wattage.

An old friend bought an RGB PSU in like 2018 despite my best advice. I wonder how it’s holding up… bought the first of my three PSUs two years prior to that and still pushing electrons like new

papalonian, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in MRW my scale wont tare

Umm…

pushes glasses up nose

Akshully…

lets glasses slide down nose to look at you over the top of them

It’s called a balance

gets extra credit

papalonian, to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

I’ll never not overspend on a PSU. I’ve always looked at it as: every time I turn on my PC there’s a chance it’ll explode. Why increase that chance to save $100?
