God yes. Did 1 cruise and literally saw the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Michelangelo’s David, walked around in Pompeii, scaled a volcano, saw where the Olympics started, the Parthenon, amazing art (Birth of Venus just to name another), incredible food, incredible people. Spent months planning it, ton of pics, and now make some “new” dishes all the time.
OP: meds and a therapist. Meds to fix the chemistry, therapist to teach you how to live life happily.

I wish that there was some sort of equivalent of Reddit gold… That is a fantastic comment, with a ton of useful advice. OP cooks his own food, a better way to find new food and things you’ve never come across otherwise, is by traveling. It really does broaden the mind, gives you a better perspective on things,… But Mr. ININ, I hope the best for you. You did some awesome stuff and can’t anymore. I feel your pain.
Op: see the world. Get the shittiest inside cabin you can on a cruise ship that goes to a bunch of different countries. Think of it like a sampler pack of that part of the world. If you see something that strikes you fancy, plan to go back. Plan all the things you want to do or see. Look on some guides online. If you don’t knowwhat to do with the money, you can’t take it with you, go do something with it.

Could this actual be the 14th amendment, birthright citizenship? That’s in the news RIGHT now and makes more sense. But he is showing how dumb he is, unless this is a heavy /s
- Comment on Why can ballpoint pens fail permanently when they still have so much ink left? 4 weeks ago:
I know that you can use a cigarette lighter, very briefly, to burn off the stuck-on ink off the ball… otherwise the ball will pop out because the ink behind it turns to steam, I assume.
I believe there’s a chemical (maybe isopropyl alcohol?) That you can apply to the ball to dissolve the ink as well.

women’s pants typically don’t have pockets, so you’d get NO notification.
- Comment on Why dont hackers just do white-cap hacking and figure out loopholes in valuable companies' stuff and use their fiduciary duty as a legal basis to compel patronage of their services? 2 months ago:
IIRC, there’s an investment group that does a version of this - they short the stock then release and publicize the information.

- Comment on How far away are we from someone using AI to create an animated TV show by themselves. 2 months ago:
Not all of this, you have some points in here (smart TVs are worth mentioning), but a lot of this is elsewhere, too, though. And was done before AI. A LOT of things are in public records, for instance. Yes AI and interconnectedness it makes it easier, but this is nothing knew. And the fact that they’re still this bad at targeted ads means there’s still hope.

That’s said, I facepalm at Fukushima. And desperately want more modern systems

“This discovery could be revolutionary. Imagine being able to monitor organ function without invasive procedures, or see precisely where a vein is to draw blood. It could also pave the way for breakthroughs in understanding how diseases affect the body at a microscopic level.”

Fringe is probably all of those.

Gotcha, I was just wondering what specific “slightly bad shit“ paper, and ethical dilemma, they had run across
- Comment on well, at least I wasn't the only one to wonder 3 months ago:
What question? What paper? Inquiring minds want to know!
- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 3 months ago:
Depending, it could be your freezer, if you’re storing it there for a bit.

I think I’ll have to do a modified version of that, Imposter Syndrome where half of you is in a suit and the other half is sweats and a t-shirt. “Hi my name is” “how others see you”/“how you see yourself”

Hey, where’d you find that photo? That’s crazy-interesting composition

Yeah, it was. I’m astonished at how much light the photographer was able to capture.

- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 4 months ago:
Yeah, Sanderson earned the cred on the original trilogy. It’s a fantasy series, but the magicians are basically Jedi. Great stuff!

I’ve been using persistent windows for the same reason, and it does t seem to play well with multiple browser windows on multiple screens. Just FYI
- Comment on My Kidney 6 months ago:
Odd recommendation from a friend’s doctor after said friend passed a stone: drink a beer a day. He said lemons helped (lemonade, lemons in tea) but the beer was 100% from what the doc had seen. And no, I don’t know why or what kind.
