  • I’ve honestly thought about it a lot. I’ve been struggling with self harm for years and all of the world news and seeing all the terrible things Maga is doing both to its own citizens and the world have made me ramp things up with the burning considerably. My whole left arm is pretty much just scar tissue at this point, it’s extremely bad.

    I blame myself for it,even though it’s illogical. I didn’t vote for the guy but I’m American so this country’s sins are mine too. Sometimes I tell myself that if I die the world will be a better place because it has one less American in it.

    It’s not healthy for sure but it’s more important than ever to know what’s going on so I keep watching and I keep on burning.

    Plus in a sick way maybe it’s good in burning myself. It’s a small form of justice.

    Don’t follow my example though. I’m very obviously not well in the head. You should most definitely try to get some help if you’re having thoughts like that. I’m the example of what not to do in a mental health crisis.




  • I use silly tavern a lot and am trying to learn how to self host. I don’t think the hate really stems from the tool itself. It stems from the people who are doing everything in their power to force everyone else to use the tool for everything including things that it is clearly not intended to be used for, while simultaneously using it for incredibly shitty things like replacing the jobs of everyone and anyone they possibly can, putting entire countries under mass surveillance, and absolutely destroying entire communities and the planet with extremely irresponsibly managed datacenters.

    I think if Ai was not being so heavily abused and mismanaged, it would not be nearly as hated.

    If a man with a hammer was going around town smashing people and their property, you would probably hate the person and not the hammer. Because of the nature of llms, it’s very easy to hate the hammer instead of the person wielding it. Which is great for the assholes at the top because they get to keep destroying the world with Ai while everyone blames the ai.


  • That’s really a question you need to answer for yourself but everyone has issues. The fact that you are self aware of them means you know when they happen and can do things to control it better.

    I don’t think you need to introduce yourself with a warning, you deserve to have privacy and boundaries while you deal with your issues and heal, but if you feel safe enough with someone to open up to them, you can explain what you’re struggling with, and in normal casual relationships, you can use that self awareness to control your issues.

    Nobody’s perfect, everyone has flaws, you’re clearly not a malicious person if you’re here asking this, you’re someone who is struggling with some issues. But you recognize those issues and want to deal with them, that’s a huge step a lot of people don’t even get to.




  • Yes, you should cut toxic people out of your life. That doesn’t mean that every relationship on the planet is toxic and should be avoided. People who get amputation don’t just say “I didn’t even need that arm”. They get prosthetics, they go through physical therapy to try and adapt without the arm.

    The difference here is unlike an arm, if a friendship doesn’t work out, you can make new friends. If you prefer being alone, there’s nothing wrong with that, but there’s a big difference between saying “I prefer to be alone” and “all relationships are bad and should be avoided”




  • I live in America but I’m fairly disconnected from everything that’s happening because I live in a very isolated area living a fairly isolated life. However from everything I’m hearing from the news, if I was in your position, I would not step foot here. The worst people imaginable are running the country and it’s genuinely not safe for even the people already living here.

    I definitely would not give them any of the information you listed, that’s insane. These people cannot be trusted.

    Unless it’s of vital life and death importance that you come here, it’s not worth the risk right now. Hopefully MAGA dies and sane people start running the country again, but right now I cannot in good consciousness recommend that you come here.


  • A romantic partner is one type of relationship often with the extra weight of that person being a romantic partner. A romantic partner ideally is a life partner you want to share the entirety of your life with. It’s a lot heavier than a friend.

    A romantic partner is someone special who you will be spending the vast majority of your time with. Someone who you might star a family with.

    A friend is less heavy, more casual. A friend is someone who you ideally can trust and talk to and who will support you and you them, but is not someone you are physically attracted to, or has an interest in being romantic with you or vice versa.

    A healthy romantic partnership usually starts off as a friendship, and then over time turns into a romantic one. You can’t just meet a stranger and say "let’s spend our entire lives together, and have a family, and live together. At least not a romantic partnership you want to actually work.
