Let me know if you have some extra room on your generation ship

I’d love to have the ability to pack next to nothing and hop on a plane right now. First place you would go?

Bringing back that double dragon eh. Vampire survivors-esque games are still doing pretty hot. Good stuff man, hope to see it released some day!

What kind of games?

I use frozen cranberries for sake. Frozen grapes work well for a lot of drinks too.

I do the old school lowest heat and swirl the water before putting the egg in for 4 minutes, works fine for me. I’ve tried double boiling in a ramekin and it works well if you need to do a bigger batch but I don’t like the shape of them.

Attributing human traits to non humans is called anthropomorphizing

The discomfort OP feels is called uncanny valley

And to answer OP, Chatgpt is able to pull from multiple sources very quickly and adds related info that you may not have thought to search. But it’s also not always accurate because AI isn’t great at recognizing sarcasm or satire.

Downstairs neighbour stomping that hard is crazy. I have headphones in 99% of the time at home to try and drown out the noise but it’s still loud unless I crank whatever I’m listening to, to a point where I feel like I’ll cause long term damage. I could try the subwoofer thing though. Ya unfortunately developers care more about speed and profit rather than comfort a lot of the times.

Ya I’ve talked to the superintendent 4 or 5 times about it. Also had another neighbour across the hall that kept slamming their front door 10+ times a day so hard that my front door would rattle. Both situations he said he talked to them but nothing changed so either he’s lying or the 2 tenants dont give af.

I had to confront the neighbour across the hall personally before he stopped. He called me an asshole when I asked if he could stop slamming the door. The mindset and logic that these people operate on is incredible. The majority of the building are pretty considerate, I just got stuck living by 2 of the most miserable pricks.

Ya it absolutely sucks not being able to rest properly at home, I’m pretty sure there is zero upside to it. Sorry to hear you’ve had your fair share of annoying neighbours, some people just suck so much.

Oh I promise I tried. The first time I talked to her was because it sounded like she was rearranging furniture everyday but it would screech across the floor like nails on a chalkboard. Every morning around 7. My mom was going through chemo and radiation at the time so she was already exhausted all the time. One day I decided this was getting too ridiculous so I bought some felt pad stickers you put on chair legs. Brought them up to her, explained my situation calmly and even offered to put the stickers on her chairs for her.

She kept saying I was the guy from the 10th floor (I am not) and that she knows I’ve lived there for years (I had not). After I put the stickers on, she said “ok now get out and stay out!”. Pretty sure she took the stickers off because the screeching got even worse after that interaction. The next time I knocked on her door to ask her to turn her music down at midnight she just yelled at me through the door. This sack of shit has no intention to be friendly unfortunately.

When she’s in one of her music moods it’s so loud you can hear it not just in my apartment, you can hear it through half the hallway on my floor, you walk up to her floor and it sounds like a full on concert. The cherry on top is that she blasts music or movies as late as 1 am and as early as 6 am. Last summer she had a habit of hammering at things in the middle of the night, like 3/4 am. I haven’t slept without headphones since I moved here and I’m averaging about 5-6 hours of sleep a day. I am not exaggerating when I say I hope she drops dead, I can see in the mirror that I’ve physically aged like 10 years in the 1.5 years I’ve been here.

I understand some people are ignorant but I’ve talked to this woman about the noise a couple times and I’ve had the superintendent talk to her. I would not be surprised if her other neighbours have also complained. The reason I know she’s just annoying is by her reaction of being told she’s loud. A reasonable person would say sorry and try to change but this woman considers it a nuisance if I tell her she’s being excessively loud.

Yes, that’s what I meant when I wrote that I’ve gone up to tell her

I don’t hear any of my other neighbours at all

That’s a good one lol

Why not new car salespeople?

Ah, sounds like maybe fasting might not be the best thing for you. At least until you get the blood sugar more stable.

Good for you for making such a big step (no pun intended) towards healthier living. I do find that a lot of people who go on a long fast or fast regularly have this change in their relationship with food. It’s like you push yourself to do someone out of your norm and then you realize it’s not that hard to resist cravings after a while. Exercise is definitely important, hope you keep it up!
