yeah, no. I have been on psych meds for a while and on Medicaid since I was born pretty much. I have also been working at a psych clinic for over a year now. you don't need early refills if you take your meds as prescribed. if something happens- you lose your meds, you go on a trip, or you freak out and take more than you should, tell your prescriber asap. file a police report for the love of god if you think it was stolen or lost in a fire. if you have been safe with your medications they should be fine filling it early. if they suspect you are not being safe they won't fill it because that shit can make them lose their license. if your provider is giving you a hard time for no reason, find a new one. same things applies to pharmacies. there are people out there who are reasonable. we serve over 2000 people and most of the clients do indeed forget to call in their meds earlier. like 80% of our clients will call when they have 1 pill or none left. I think we should identify all the chronic forgettors and help them find ways to remember, but I'm only a receptionist and the management doesn't seem to care enough about this issue. we still bend over backwards to serve these people though even when they are nasty to us for no reason. I used to be one of those forgetful people but I made a system to fix that after I accidentally made myself stop cold turkey for 3 days. that system is different for everyone but you need to find a way to be responsible for yourself. and Medicaid does allow you to pick up non controlled things like a week early. if waiting longer for controlled stuff is an issue for you, find some ways with your providers to mitigate the stress. and you can call in your scripts any time. your provider can send them in for you, obviously it won't be filled until insurance will cover it, but at least it would be ready when you need it. the alternative is everyone scrambling at the last minute to get the meds for you, which never works because people taking phone calls, prescribers and pharmacies are not working 24/7 and we always have a backlog of other things to do. calling in later puts you more at risk of not getting the meds on time. my main providers at hospital are horrible with refills because they seem to be always understaffed and backlogged so they never deal with stuff in time. you know what I did? I switched my providers. you have options if you're struggling with these things.

psychiatrists: You can’t stop this medication cold turkey. You need to stay on your meds no matter what. If you don’t stay on your meds I won’t treat you as my patient anymore

psychiatrists when you need your meds refilled: yeah I can do that in about 10 business days. oh you need it right now? or you’re going to end up hospitalized? meh I don’t care. good luck idiot

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Out of all of the people The Ghost King Phantom expected to relate to, it definitely wasn’t the scrawny red headed photographer of the Daily Planet. Jimmy Olsen has gotten so many temporary superpowers over his time being Superman’s friend. Hell, he once gained a 4th dimensional being’s reality warping abilities when he was given said dimensional being’s powers during a fight. Sure there’s a dozen or so heroes with the same amount of powers he has, but none as suddenly granted to them as a all powerful god that can relate to a teenager.

I'm seeing some frustration over fandom creatives expressing anger or distress over people feeding their work into ChatGPT. I'm not responding to OP directly because I don't want to derail their post (their intent was to provide perspective on how these models actually work, and reduce undue panic, which is all coming from a good place!), but reassurances that the addition of our work will have a negligible impact on the model (which is true at this point) does kind of miss the point? Speaking for myself, my distress is less about the practical ramifications of feeding my fic into ChatGPT, and more about the principle of someone taking my work and deliberately adding it to the dataset.

Like, I fully realize that my work is a drop in the bucket of ChatGPT's several-billion-token training set! It will not make a demonstrable practical difference in the output of the model! That doesn't change the fact that I do not want my work to be part of the set of data that the ChatGPT devs use for training.

According to their FAQ, ChatGPT can and will use user input to train itself. The terms and conditions explicitly state that they save your chats to help train and improve their models. (You can opt-out, but sharing is the default.) So if you're feeding a fic into ChatGPT, unless you've explicitly opted out, you are handing it to the ChatGPT team and giving them permission to use it for training, whether or not that was your intent.

Now, will one fic make a demonstrable difference in the output of the model? No! But as the person who spent a year and a handful of months laboring over my fic, it makes a difference to me whether my fic, specifically, is being used in the dataset. If authors are allowed to have a problem with the ChatGPT devs for scraping millions of fics without permission, they're also allowed to have a problem with folks handing their individual fics over via the chat interface.

I do want to add that if you've done this to a fic, please don't take this as me being upset with you personally! Folks are still learning new information and puzzling out what "good" vs. "bad" use is, from an ethical standpoint. (Heck, my own perspective on this is deeply based on my own subjective feelings!) And we certainly shouldn't act like one person feeding a fic into ChatGPT has the same practical negative impact, on a broad societal scale, as a team using a web crawler to scrape five billion pieces of artwork for Stable Diffusion.

The point is that fundamentally, an ethical dataset should be obtained with the consent of those providing the data. Just because it's normalized for our data to be scraped without consent doesn't make it ethical, and this is why ChatGPT gives users the option to not share data— there is actually a standardized way (robots.txt) for website servers to set policies for how bots/crawlers can interact with them, for exactly this reason— and I think fandom artists and authors are well within their rights to express a desire for opting out to be the socially-respected default within the fandom community.

BIG DISHONORABLE MENTION FOR THIS WORD CHOICE. Zoro does not call Nami a “scheming woman.” What is with the translators making Zoro into a complete hater towards Nami?? Vivi says she can’t understand what Miss All Sunday is thinking, and Zoro replies “we’ve already got that type of person on this ship.” He never said anything about women at all! If you think of someone on the ship whose thought process is completely incomprehensible…

…HE’S TALKING ABOUT LUFFY.

i’m convinced some people that watch one piece watch it specifically to find a way to make themselves and everyone around them miserable. it’s not about ranking arcs, bad character analysis, who’s the strongest, worrying about who’s the weakest, or shipping.

one piece, at its heart, is about a selfish, greedy little rubber freak in jorts and a straw hat that sets sail to be king of the pirates and picks up often times hated and abandoned little freaks along the way, forcing them on his adventure with him while chasing their own dreams. it’s about friendship, it’s about adventure, its about not being afraid to dream, it’s about a show of strength that does not come just for the sake of being strong. if you’re watching it for any other reason besides the fact that you love these little freaks and want to see all of them achieve their goals, you will never properly enjoy it.

I’m just very obsessed with the idea that mihawk is useless in a weapon less fight like he cannot throw a punch or get out of a pin to save his life like one he can’t kick he’s done out for the count, and this is why Shanks ends most of their duels this way. Because he’s a filthy cheater and Mihawk is even worse off because it’s Shanks pining him and he has eaten a lot of dirt.

Shanks decides to teach him the art of fighting dirty cause he’s nice that way but also let’s just say that Shanks likes being in a pin a little too much

FOUND THIS AND ERM.....

These hilarious images made by an anti fall FLAT with three sentences:

"i drew YOU as the soyjack and ME as the CHAD!!!"

"whining and harrassment" and its fucking facts n truths,like the internet NOT caring n r34.

the "harrasers" being actual twitter assholes n porn addicts and not even proshippers.

God its so fucking funny,on the same topic,ya know trying to hunt/take down every "bad" fan content of your FICTIONAL characters to keep your fanbase/their image "pure" is just extreme chronically online behavior?

GOOD AND BAD THINGS ALWAYS AND MUST CO EXIST WITH EACHOTHERS,IN EVERY FORM IMAGINABLE,so trying to take down one of the two sides creates more issues,it also kils a fanbase since you're limiting the creativity of your fans.

After all,fiction and its fan content comes in every form,right?

I mean E V E R Y form,with that said.

Have a nice day :).

My thesis supervisor: I've been thinking about something you said last week - that you aren't sure if you're going to do a master's degree. I believe you mean you're considering moving to another city?

Me: ...no. I'm not sure if I'm going to do a master's at all.

Him: why not?

Me: I worry it'll be too hard for me.

Him: [gives me a long look] Do you hear yourself?

Why are we judging each other as readers? You may not like CoHo, but she's number 1 for a reason: a ton of people like her. You aren't better than anyone else because you read old books.

She is flexing how good her taste in books is, (she loves Colleen Hoover);

Me, who loves Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Nietzsche (I'm stronger, I'm smarter, I'm better)

Not Kristen bashing but. . . Kristen doesn't want the responsibility of student body president, she wants the advantages of being student body president.

Of course, her running isn't coming from a place of strategic malice like it is for kingkong crotchrocket. She's hopeful that winning will open opportunities to find new followers for Cassandra. She loves Cassandra so much, and she wants to be a valuable cleric.

Yes, the action was definitely initially motivated by rivalry, but she's a teenager that's to be expected.

She also wants to do her best for the bad kids. She knows this win would be advantageous for their investigation. She doesn't want to be the weak link. She wants to be useful and to succeed for the sake of her loved ones.

It's still not right, though. She hasn't taken the time to learn about what the student body president position even really entails. She's treating the campaign like a bit. She's treating the presidency as a solution to the problems that shes been ignoring when really it will simply be another position of responsibility on top of the ones she already has. It's clear she doesn't know what she's doing.

We all expected Riz to be the one running, that's what Sklonda was touching on, and she's right. Riz would be a great student body president because he's shown genuine care not just for his friends but for the least valued members of the student body as well.
