Southall

Hi! I've been living in London for 7 years now. One thing I love about it is that many areas are true micro cosmos of cultures, sometimes totally unexpected. For some reasons I had to move to Southall and I discovered a world in London I wasn't aware of. Southall looks to me like the center of the Indian and surrounding areas community in London. It's like walking into a separate world full of colours, spices, clothes with traditional decorations, turbans and well groomed beards. When I walk the streets people look at me like an alien, for some reason I like this feeling because it makes me feel like the world still have unexplored areas that can enrich you. I really love London, I really do.

Is "masking" related to adhd?

Hi. I am 39 and for basically my whole life I tried to understand why I am able to be extremely successful socially for certain periods, and then switch suddenly to a person that is seriously unable to just have a normal conversation of a couple minutes. I became familiar recently with the concept of masking, that seems to fit perfectly this description. I would like to ask if this is something specifically related to adhd or it's something that happen independently.

Would you like to be able to skip the orcs cutscenes?

Yes, I know. Orcs are super funny and 90% of the times I really love their introductions where they threaten you etc. Also tho sometimes I would like to be able to skip them, especially when there are many captains in the same area and the action is super fragmented.

Gaming is 10x better when you actually have a life and less spare time

I remember when I was 17. I only had to go to school in the morning, do the homeworks, and then I spent all my time gaming until night. I used to complain a lot on forums about games, patch notes, delays and so on. Then I started having gfs, going out. I found a job, started working. Gaming became what is meant to be: Just a hobby amongst many other things, not the "very important capital thing" that I thought when I was a no-lifer.

You start appreciating gaming A LOT more when you grow up because you start having a life, and if you don't you convince yourself that there are always issues in gaming, that you have to complain, maybe also fight with people on online games and so on.

In conclusion: You aren't a gaming critic, you are just a no-lifer and will start appreciating more gaming if you actively work to have a life too.

The way she talks about her exes is one of the best way to understand her

Hi! I read many times people complaining about their dates talking about their previous relationships. I think instead it is a great way to understand the kind of woman you are dating, if all her exes are "toxic narcissists" it always means that there's some issue and you should avoid that situation. Do you agree in your experience?

La doccia dopo l'allenamento è il momento migliore della giornata

Ciao a tutti. Il fitness in generale mi piace molto, amo l'idea di poter migliorare la mia salute ed il mio fisico. Mi alleno però anche perchè mi permette di non pensare a certe situazioni che mi fanno stare male quotidianamente, è una forma di evasione. Da questo punto di vista, la doccia dopo l'allenamento giornaliero è il momento migliore e più rilassato della giornata. Per un paio d'ore riesco a non pensare a nulla di negativo e mi sento finalmente tranquillo. Volevo chiedervi se qualcun altro condivide questo pensiero/situazione.

Cooking is a basic life skill. If you don't know how to do it, you are a child.

Hi. I see too many times people saying they have no idea how to cook basic food for survival, sometimes even with a certain pride. Hey, idiot, you shouldn't be proud. Hey, loser, cooking is a basic skill. Hey, useless, you aren't making a political point. You are just lacking a basic life skill.

It's a really bad moment. Regaining weight.

Hi. Nearly 4 years ago I decided it was time to lose weight, since I (39M) was extremely overweight (128kgs x 1.75). It took me a long time and many many mornings waking up at 5am to go outside walking with whatever weather outside, lot of planning and sacrifices etc. but everyone on a weight loss journey knows and lives this daily so there's no reason for me to insist on this specific point.

Fast forward to the beginning of the past year, I reached 78kgs. I was extremely happy about it and I could also see on my body the results of all the training and fitness. It was perfect also because my diet was very stable, I didn't feel the need to eat junk food and it was very easy for me to follow my routine. Then things started happening, I've been evicted from my house and went living in an hostel where basically everyone was drinking and using drugs daily, a combination that for me is horrible and that woke up all my previous weaknesses. I stopped completely training and started eating again the worst junk food, together with drinking every single day and using drugs nearly daily.

Now I luckily left that place, quit drinking and drugs and started training again but the damage is done. I'm up to 95kgs but the worst part is that I feel like I have lost ALL my discipline. During the day I train and eat properly, but I binge eat every single night. I'm not worried about the weight itself, I've lost it once and I can lose it again, but I'm extremely worried about the discipline part because it's the hardest one to get.

I really feel like my world is completely falling apart, and I feel like an idiot because I was really happy and satisfied about myself, for once.

ELI5: What's actually "liking" or "disliking" something?

Hi! There are thing we dislike or like because we link them (maybe at subconscious level) to a good or a traumatic moments. There are tho also things that we like or dislike without apparent reason, for example some kind of food. Is it a psychological thing or it's somehow connected with biology/genes etc.?

Funny moments on CE you remember?

Hi! One for me is with my first clan: it was the era of the bases built on top of hills/mountains, because climbing wasn't still possible so you just destroyed the stairs to your base every time and you were safe. The leader of my clan was showing me the base but he went too far and fell down from the top of the mountain, dying and losing the equip because his body was in an unreachable place. What about yours?

Did Jewish people going to be deported aware of what was happening inside the concentration camps?

Hi. Obviously they were aware that something really bad was happening, but did they know about gas Chambers etc. before actually entering the camp? Maybe informed by some prisoner that escaped

Edit: sorry for the mistake in the title, I can't edit it. I meant "Did Jewish people going to be deported know (...)"

"I've never heard this, so it doesn't exist"

You can hear this kind of shit in real life and also on Reddit. Whenever someone talks about something people don't know or maybe never heard about, you find lot of answers like "I've never heard this, it must just be a product of your imagination".

I mean, lil bro, you probably married your first and only girlfriend you've met at high school and your whole life revolves around 10kms in total and 6 or 7 people. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt.

In conclusion, "I've never heard this, so it doesn't exist" is a clear sign of low intelligence.

99% of the people saying AI isn't dangerous actually have no knowledge of the situation

Hi. As per title. I think the vast majority of people mocking whoever express concerns about the Evolution of the AI, basically still think that AI is only the one you find on Google and similar. They think it's just an aggregator of contents found on internet. AI actually evolved A LOT since the infamous Will Smith eating pasta videos. It's already far more smarter than a human and capable of taking independent decisions.

Harry Potter's adults fanatics need medical attentions

Hi. Every morning I go to the King's cross station and there's always a crowd of 30/40 years old people in front of the Harry Potter's shop. Many of them are jumping, some acting like they are going to meet the king of England, some crying. I have to walk faster because it's extremely bad for me to see these situations. Also on internet they act in a very aggressive and protective way like Harry Potter is a matter of life and death for them. I seriously think that they need therapy because this is more than embarassing.

What do you think about Wild terra 2: new lands?

Hi! I bought this game on sale on Steam and I am loving it, especially because it reminds me a lot of Ultima Online, my favourite ever MMO. I think this game isn't probably for everyone because of its "ancient" mechanics that are really different from modern MMO ones. Do you play it? Do you like it?
