Dissociation AFTER reading?
2025.01.23 02:20 Samantha-Davis Dissociation AFTER reading?
I see a lot of people talking about dissociating DURING reading, but nobody ever talks about dissociating AFTER reading. This was a huge problem I had for several years that went away for about a year and then suddenly came back out of nowhere and I hate it.
After reading for about an hour (sometimes less), I have a hard time connecting to reality. It almost feels like I'm in a dream or that the world isn't real. In fact, sometimes I believe the fictional world I just read is the real world and the real world is just a dream. I also feel like I have a special connection to the book regardless of whether or not I like it, and find that the MC's personality slowly begins to affect my own. Sometimes I feel like what I do doesn't matter because only the book world matters. My body goes numb and sometimes it's difficult for me to realize that my body IS my body. Like today I had a hard time processing that my hand was mine. I also make random movements I feel I have no control over, like wiggling my fingers or reaching out. I also get very tired and start having memory issues. Today I had to constantly repeat the task I was on my way to do otherwise I would forget. I genuinely have no idea why this started up again. I read more last year than I have any other year and never had this issue. I don't want to give up reading fictional books entirely because my mind can't seem to process the two worlds. Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

2025.01.23 02:20 Amandajohnson3 Married to a Muslim Man: Struggling Faith and Raising my son
I want to share a part of my journey that's been weighing heavily on me. I'm 33 now, and I married a Muslim man when I was 21. At the time, we agreed that we would expose our son who is now 12 to both faiths and let him choose his own path when he gets older.
I thought we had a clear understanding, but now I realize how naive I was. Over time, my husband, who's 34, has been pushing for our son to be raised strictly in the Muslim faith, despite the original agreement we made. It feels like everything we discussed has been forgotten.
I've tried to voice my concerns, but he's steadfast in his beliefs, and it's becoming clear that our son is being raised with only one perspective. Looking back, I see how l ignored red flags and thought our differences wouldn't be an issue. I didn't fully grasp how deeply rooted his faith was, or how much influence it would have over our child's upbringing.
Now I am filled with regret. I love my husband, but I feel like I've compromised too much, and it's affecting both my relationship with God and the future I want for my son.
If anyone has advice or has been through something similar I would really appreciate it!

2025.01.23 02:20 bruno-KYM Issues with my 3070 ti
I have a 3070 ti. It was working perfectly up until I moved. I moved to another house and I don't know if during the moving process something got damaged in the gpu. After I plugged in my pc in my new house it started to crash, show artifacts and sometimes no display. It would function for an hour and then randomly shut off and crash. And for some reason it would work fine for a couple hours when the pc tower would be laying on its side, but when its uproght it crashes automatically. The gpu is about 2 years old. Never overheated, and was regularly cleaned. Idk what the issue might be or if my gpu is just dead. Is there anything I can do? Or anywhere I can take it for repaidiagnosis?
(Btw it has no warranty so I can't exchange it or return it)
(Other graphics cards work fine on my pc so it's not the motherboard or any other component)

2025.01.23 02:20 Georgeo57 is stargate putting all its eggs in one basket?
it seemed to me that investing so much on data centers when the ai field is advancing so rapidly might not be the wisest or best informed move.
for example, what if an ai algorithm is discovered that allows superintelligence to be run on a laptop? or what if an entirely new ai architecture is developed that simply doesn't need very much compute? under these scenarios, stargate investors could suffer heavy losses.
to better understand other risks, i asked gemini 2.0 flash experimental to weigh in on the matter.
The prompt was: under what scenario would the stargate $500 billion investment be wasted?
here's what it said:
"The rapid pace of technological advancement in the field of AI poses a significant risk to long-term, large-scale projects like Stargate. Here's a breakdown of how this could play out: 1. Obsolescence of Core Technologies: * New AI Paradigms: The current focus might be on deep learning and neural networks, but entirely new approaches to AI could emerge. Quantum computing, neuromorphic computing, or novel algorithms could revolutionize the field, rendering current hardware and software architectures obsolete. Stargate, with its massive investment in current technology, could find itself based on outdated foundations. * Shifting Hardware Landscapes: The development of specialized AI chips (like TPUs and GPUs) is constantly evolving. New chip architectures, materials, or manufacturing processes could dramatically increase computing power and efficiency. Stargate's hardware infrastructure could become less competitive compared to newer, more efficient systems. * Software and Algorithmic Breakthroughs: New algorithms, training methods, or software frameworks could significantly improve AI performance with less computational resources. This could make Stargate's massive infrastructure less necessary, as newer algorithms could achieve similar results on smaller, more affordable systems. 2. Loss of Competitive Edge: * Faster Innovation by Competitors: While Stargate represents a significant investment, other companies and research institutions are also heavily investing in AI. Faster innovation cycles by competitors could lead to them developing more advanced AI systems in a shorter time frame, diminishing Stargate's potential lead. * Open-Source Advancements: The open-source nature of many AI tools and libraries means that breakthroughs can be rapidly shared and adopted. This could level the playing field, making it harder for Stargate to maintain a unique advantage based on its scale and resources. 3. Difficulty in Adapting and Integrating New Technologies: * "Legacy System" Problem: As Stargate develops, its infrastructure and software will become more complex and interconnected. Integrating new technologies or adapting to new paradigms could become increasingly difficult and costly, creating a "legacy system" problem. * Lock-in to Specific Technologies: Early design choices and partnerships could create a lock-in to specific technologies or vendors. This could limit the project's flexibility to adopt newer, potentially superior alternatives. 4. Shifting Focus of AI Research: * Unpredictable Research Directions: The direction of AI research is not always predictable. New discoveries or emerging applications could shift the focus away from the areas that Stargate is targeting. For example, a breakthrough in a specific AI subfield (like natural language processing or computer vision) could draw resources and attention away from general-purpose AI development."
sam likes to dream big. remember that $7 trillion project he floated? i'm just not sure he understands what it means that ai is breaking paradigms every day, and that the pace of innovation is also accelerating. $5.5 million deepseek v3, $450, 19-hour sky-t1, deepseek r1. who really knows what's next?

2025.01.23 02:20 Rqanov I nearly fought a customer.
I'm a waiter(21M) at a restaurant in central London, today while on duty I was to hand the main dishes to a table when the older man on the table began to berate me for not cleaning up his plates, I simply responded with an "ofcourse" which he immediately threw back at me yelling "Ofcourse you should've cleaned it" as though I'd commited some cardinal sin for not doing it?(we were busy at the time and I wouldn't have had a chance eitherway). At this point I responded with a firm "It's OKAY" to his face while staring in his eyes, i got away from the table as fast as I could because had I gone back I would have definitley smacked his lopsided crusty a@s across that table, I have geniunly never felt such hatred in my life for anyone. I'm afraid that if I see him again I won't be able to hold myself back from a confrontation, but I also can't allow people to think they can get away with this behaviour either.
What would be the appropriate response?
