  • I'd say you should look into the term "maladaptive daydreaming". (Not a diagnosis. More of a symptom.) There's nothing wrong with daydreaming itself. It's when it causes problems in your life that it's "maladaptive." Just reading what you said about it, you said you daydream "as a way to cope with... life problems" and "it interferes with my life so deeply".

    This also kindof sounds like daydreaming may be a way by which you dissociate. If you look up "dissociation" on the internet, you'll likely see things about DPDR wherein everything feels ureal or other more severe-sounding symptoms. Of course, if those things sound like they describe your experience, that's an insight that might help you. But escaping into a fantasy to deal with problems in your life can definitely qualify as a form of dissociation.

    Aside from that, I don't want to diagnose you or anything, but it might be worth looking into Schizoid Personality Disorder (SzPD). That would be a diagnosis, not just a symptom. But if you end up reading the Wikipedia page on it and it feels like your experience, and if you end up talking to a therapist, it probably couldn't hurt to bring it up. If you think it matches you, that is. If your therapist agrees, they may have you evaluated for that condition specifically. It's not a disorder that psychologists tend to know enough about to think to bring it up to you. And people with SzPD can often times be misdiagnosed ad something else. Which is why I bring it up. Again, though, I'm only suggesting that you look at the Wikipedia page and see if it feels familiar. Nothing more.

    Finally, just on the basis that you seem to be struggling with this, I do think that if your able, you could definitely get some benefit from a therapist.

    Why can only scream when i sneeze?

    Jump

  • What do you mean you "cannot scream", exactly? In what way does the closest approximation to a "scream" you can do not qualify as a "scream"? Just pitch specifically? Can you sing higher than you can "scream"?

    Or if it's not specifically the pitch, and if it's something you'd like to change, I might suggest you look into... well... learning. Search for "fry scream" on YouTube. It'll take some practice, but it's certainly a way to scream. And as a bonus, learning to do it "right" can avoid straining or injuring your voice.

    Why can only scream when i sneeze?

    Jump

  • I very much do not understand the question. I think you accidentally a word. I'm guessing you mean "why can I only scream when I sneeze". But even that, I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean you can't scream when you're in the act of a sneeze? Or that you scream every time you sneeze and cannot prevent yourself from doing so? Both?

  • Trump Support Among Young Voters Is Fading Fast - Bloomberg

  • I mean... cool, I guess. Kinda too late to make any difference, though. The time to figure out Trump was a narcissistic tyrant was before voting for him.

  • What will MS do when Linux becomes a serious threat to their monopoly ?

    Jump

  • Just my guess here, but...

    The desktop/laptop sort of form factor is associated in people's minds with unlocked bootloaders. People expect to be able to install Linux on them if they want to. Tablets, game systems, and other sorts of consumer electronics, not so much. I'm thinking Microsoft will do what it can to push hardware manufacturers and the software industry as a whole more in the direction of the kinds of devices that consumers already expect to be locked down like tablets or game systems that are "streaming" game systems. And that way, the bootloader will prevent folks from switching to Linux.

  • Help! I Think I've Developed Insomnia..

    Jump

  • First thing to try is to get your sleep hygiene straight.

    No screens for an hour before bed, get your room dark (no night lights, light-blocking windowshades, and cover the lights on any electronics in your room) and quiet (ear plugs can help in a pinch), quit caffeine, get some sunlight in the morning (optimally before 10:00 AM), get some physical activity during the day, don't eat for a couple of hours before bed. It also couldn't hurt to do some meditation before bed during that hour of no-screen time.

    That meditation will probably particularly help if the reason for your insomnia is stress.

    (And try not to be overwhelmed by the above list. Any one or two items in that list that you do will probably help quite a bit. And try to think of this as a "long game" of incremental improvement.)

    If that all doesn't work, you could try adding CBD maybe an hour or so before bed. Melatonin might be a tempting option, but be careful with it. Melatonin doesn't stay in the bloodstream all that long, so melatonin supplements tend to be big doses in an effort to try to keep it in your bloodstream longer which... kinda works maybe, but not as well as you might hope. The result tends to be that you fall asleep quickly, wake up in like 4 hours unable to get back to sleep, and then are resistant to your body's natural melatonin for a night or two. If you're going to do melatonin, spend the extra money on time-release melatonin. The company "Life Extension" has a 750mcg 6-hour time release melatonin that is a good one to try if you do go that route.

  • What's more likely? ChatGPT finally made some breakthrough that makes LLMs actually useful for at least one single solitary use case, or Bubeck is lying?

    The second one. Emphatically the second one.

  • What are the most useful things you've printed?

    Jump

  • So, the one I used appears to have been removed from Thingiverse in the meantime, but I'm pretty sure it was V1 of this (which has been remixed a couple of times by someone else and is up to V3). It is a very tight fit, though. (Like maybe the original designer left zero tolerance.) If I had it to do again, I'd go for a different one, but I'd guess probably V2 and V3 have resolved the way-too-tight fit issue.

    I made a couple of things myself for mounting my Joycon charger on the wall. (Definitely improvements that could be made to the wall mount one. Conical holes for the screw holes for one. But it does the job.)

  • My washing machine broke. Wouldn't drain. I took it apart and realized it was going to be a huge pain to fix if I didn't drain it first, but it wouldn't drain on its own. So I designed and printed an adapter that would let me run the pump that drains the washer from my cordless drill. PLA isn't the strongest material, so I went through like 3 of them draining the washer, but it worked fantastically. Very simple to design and a quick print. Big payoff.

    Aside from that, wall mounts for my Nintendo Switch and accessories as well as a wall mount for my NAS solution, a shield for the face of my alarm clock so it didn't shine bright digital-clock LED light in my face all night (but I could move it aside and check the time), mounts for SAD lamps in convenient places. Most of what I print is custom-designed stuff for utilitarian purposes.

  • Yes, yes you can.

  • What sensory enhancement would you pick?

    Jump

  • There are many dimensions to each of our senses. Just taking super-vision as an example, would that involve seeing very small things, seeing things at great distances, seeing through things or around corners, seeing more colors and/or wavelengths of light, seeing in 360°, seeing more subtle things than others see (like being able to see when someone's heart rate increases), processing what you see quicker (for quicker reactions), photographic memory, seeing things others can't (like magnetic fields or temperature), greater "frame rate", seeing in the dark, a HUD with information display, seeing ghosts, or something else entirely I haven't even thought of?

  • If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?

    Jump

  • Anything to shorten it sounds good to me.

    So say we all.

    In the U.S., a few years ago, GOP Senator Josh Hawley, one of the speakers who helped incite the January 6th insurrection, introduced a bill to make the term of Copyright 28 years with optionally one renewal for an additional 28 years.

    And, it's so weird to me that I could agree with him on anything really.

    Mind you, he introduced that bill in an effort to punish Disney for being too "woke". And the bill didn't go anywhere. But I'd let the MAGA nuts use such a bill as an opportunity to crow for a few minutes about their victory over strong woman protagonists or whatever if it got us more reasonable copyright terms. (And honestly that's too long, but it's a hell of a lot better than the bullshit we have now.)

    Also, fuck Sonny Bono.

    Jump

  • Not in the U.S.. For work-for-hire, It's 95 years after publication. For works owned originally by a lump of flesh, blood, and bone, it's 70 years after the author's death.
