Lol. For me I just get impatient with AI. Most of the time the things I tried to use it for, it either couldn't do, did poorly or did wrong. It was simply easier for me to do the shit myself instead of burning the planet by doing 50 prompts to get one useful result.

I tried it, learned about the environmental costs and then I stopped using it. The only thing its good for is for super basic bitch translations like that one time I didn't know what a particular mathematical formular was like in English and I couldn't find an answer after searching manually for awhile.

That's the only time AI was helpful to me.

And honestly, I just don't trust that is can help me with what I need it for 99% of the time because it just makes shit up constantly. I can't justify using this tool when the only useful result I ever gave me was the correct way to say a mathematical formulae in English. That is just too fucking weak. I am much better at looking for answers myself, writing and drawing things than any AI will ever be because I know what the fuck I want and I can make it myself while the AI has no idea what it's doing and only looks good to people who has zero reading comprehension nor visual literacy.

Like, I think AI music can be pretty good but I'm also a musical retard and I have no idea how to listen to music like a real musician, so to me it sounds good, but to someone who knows what they are doing, I'm sure AI music sounds like ass.

That's me with AI writing and artwork.

Ngl, that got a chuckle out of me. At some point you just have to laugh at the absurdity of the world you live in or you'll go mad right along with it.

I'm very happy for you!

I'm glad you're looking into seeing a therapist. It can't be fun to feel like this. I also feel that some replies in this post are not helping your current state of mind at all.

I can tell you that I have had my own experience with an existential crisis and I found my way through it. I think most people go through some existential crisis at some point in their lives, and sometimes it can really help to have the right support and realize you aren't alone. 🤗

I also hope you find a way to unplug from the news spiral and maybe even from the internet for awhile. Maybe go on a few walks in nature as well? I have found that it helped me a ton to just put on my shoes and a jacket and start walking when my mind became overwhelmed with the nonstop negativity online. Seeing the seasons change in front of your eyes has a profound healing effect on the mind. Everything slows down a bit and all the things that took up so much importance in your mind start to melt away. Seeing all the mushrooms currently sprouting up from the forest floor and hearing the chirp of a new bird i havent noticed before makes me so friggin excited to be alive. I want that for you as well.

We were never meant to carry the world on our shoulders, my friend. I wish you the absolute best and hope you find your way through. Hugs. ❤️

Good! I spent at least a year with my evenings going to brain dead mobile games. That was all I could do for awhile ad looking back, I'm not sad about it. I hope you give yourself all the grace in the world if for the next months or years (how ever long the whole period lasts) and just accept that you need to play Silksong or whatever other game tickles your fancy when your tired after a long day. It's okay to not be super duper productive all the time! It's a lesson I'm learning slowly too. Hugs!

This is a period of time in your life where you just don't have any more time to pour into hobbies and community etc. That is okay. You are only human. I just had two years where I was stressed out of my fucking mind and couldn't do anything when I got home everyday. I didn't have energy for hobbies, interests, friendships, nothing. It's slowly come back to me this year, especially over the summer and I'm gradually filling up my life with past time activities now.

You are not weird or wrong or less than for not having the energy to be active all the time. School is intense. It just is. When you're also working and planning a wedding on top of that, no shit you're exhausted, my friend. I do hope you allow yourself to have moments in the evening where you're just relaxing and doing nothing. That stuff kinda helped me when I was stressed. It was frustrating when you're someone who wants to do things all the time, but for me it was necessary to avoid imploding. I think it would be good for you too to allow your head a break when you're done with the day and not harass yourself with all the things you could be doing but aren't. You're allowed to do nothing after a long day where you have given it your all.

Remember that all of this is temporary. The wedding will pass, you'll graduate eventually as well and maybe then you will slowly experience that you have a bit more energy for all the fun things in life.

Hugs! I wish you all the best! 🤗

I was like you when I was still playing video games. All the Arkham games and some of the early Assassins Creed games were my obsessions. Prince of Persia and Uncharted too. A few zombie games. Mario too.

However, I haven't played video games since 2015 for several reasons:

1. I disagreed with the direction of games back in 2015 when I noticed they were becoming more and more online focused and predatory toward players in terms of microtransactions and stuff like that. I felt that if I was supposed to get to play the games I wanted to play, it would eventually cost me so much money to upgrade entertainment systems and computers and I would not get to keep any of my games because everything was digital and could be taken from me at any point. I learned my lesson early on Facebook of all places with the death of Restaurant City (RIP my beauty).

2. it was too time consuming and I wanted to spend my time developing skills instead of playing video games.

3. my fucking temper, bro. This is the main reason I don't play video games anymore. I didn't like how infuriated I would get when I kept losing in a game. I have a temper. I really have a temper, but when it comes to video games and certain electronics, I would just become a Demon when shit didn't go my way. And I didn't want to feed that beast so I just stopped.

The only game I bought and paid for post 2015 was What Remains of Edith Finch. Played it once. Loved it. Watched a bunch of videos about the game, theories and so on and then I moved on.

Now I have my best friend who is a gamer, who plays video games on Twitch once a week so we can hang out and talk about our lives. It's cool.

Ps: not officially diagnosed. Just have a lot of symptoms to the point where it's a walk like a duck and quack like a duck scenario. So yeah, not officially one of you, but I can relate A LOT to things I read from and about ADHDers.

They made merch, omfg 🤣 I despise this shit.

Also:

Acutis also created a popular website documenting miracles as a means of spreading the Catholic message, which is what led to the nickname of "God's influencer."

I can't.🥲

You are aware that you're replying to a post in the ADHD instance, right? Why are you here if it offends you so badly that people share memes they can relate to?

From Wikipedia:

Cecil Houston, the manager of the KSC office of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, set up a three-way conference call with Morton Thiokol in Utah and the KSC in Florida on the evening of January 27 to discuss the safety of the launch.

Morton Thiokol engineers expressed their concerns about the effect of low temperatures on the resilience of the rubber O-rings. As the colder temperatures lowered the elasticity of the rubber O-rings, the engineers feared that the O-rings would not be extruded to form a seal at the time of launch. The engineers argued that they did not have enough data to determine whether the O-rings would seal at temperatures colder than 53 °F (12 °C), the coldest launch of the Space Shuttle to date.  During this discussion, Lawrence Mulloy, the NASA SRB project manager, said that he did not accept the analysis behind this decision, and demanded to know if Morton Thiokol expected him to wait until April for warmer temperatures.  Morton Thiokol employees Robert Lund, the Vice President of Engineering, and Joe Kilminster, the Vice President of the Space Booster Programs, recommended against launching until the temperature was above 53 °F (12 °C).

When the teleconference prepared to hold a recess to allow for private discussion amongst Morton Thiokol management, Allan J. McDonald, Morton Thiokol's Director of the Space Shuttle SRM Project who was sitting at the KSC end of the call,  reminded his colleagues in Utah to examine the interaction between delays in the primary O-rings sealing relative to the ability of the secondary O-rings to provide redundant backup, believing this would add enough to the engineering analysis to get Mulloy to stop accusing the engineers of using inconclusive evidence to try and delay the launch.  When the call resumed, Morton Thiokol leadership had changed their opinion and stated that the evidence presented on the failure of the O-rings was inconclusive and that there was a substantial margin in the event of a failure or erosion. They stated that their decision was to proceed with the launch.

When McDonald told Mulloy that, as the onsite representative at KSC he would not sign off on the decision, Mulloy demanded that Morton Thiokol provide a signed recommendation to launch; Kilminster confirmed that he would sign it and fax it from Utah immediately, and the teleconference ended.  Mulloy called Arnold Aldrich, the NASA Mission Management Team Leader, to discuss the launch decision and weather concerns, but did not mention the O-ring discussion; the two agreed to proceed with the launch.

Dunno about you, but it sounds a lot like NASA, especially Lawrence Mulloy, practically twisted Morton Thiokol's arms until one of them (Joe Kilminster) relented and signed off on the launch. Mulloy even lied by omission at the end there to get his way. I wonder how he could sleep at night after this stunt.
