    it doesn't help that you can't really ease into T the way you E takes forever to kick off.

    I thought microdosing T was a thing? Although I haven't looked into it much, just heard a trans man talking about it (very briefly).

    try to "see things from their perspective"

    Maybe you should see things from my perspective, how about that??? god I hate cis people talking about trans issues. The audacity to tell a trans person they need to understand how cis people feel.

    self harm

    I'm worried for this week. I wanted to be further along by now. My last thing is healing up. The urges have already been so bad. Just all the time. I really don't want to use a blade this week.

    I've been having so many thoughts and feelings, I don't know what's happening to me. I can't think normally.

    I feel so awful. I can't place what will fix it. Sometimes I doubt if I want to transition. Is that actually what I want to look like, be? Staying like this is unacceptable though. So what does that leave me with. Nothing.

    I haven't figured out how to get hrt. It's not something I can get any more help with from you all either. I feel so awful for not having done what I need to.

    How am I going to stay clean for another week. I can't use a knife again. I'm so scared. Why can't I be healthy.

    This week feels like it's going to be a rough one.

    I used some of my pent up energy to clean a bit. I don't really feel better but the space I inhabit is a bit nicer comrade-raccoon

    sad

    I'm not going to try and justify this but deeper-sadness I have been feeling so hopeless and it sucks.

    I am lazy

    I am a lazy failure who can't do anything. *Basic* shit I consistently just... don't do. Its embarrassing. I don't even want to list all of it. I have hobby stuff I've wanted to for *years* that I've just never gotten set up. Homework? More like I'm not fucking doing that. I've been wanting to take steps for *months* to get myself on hormones and get clothes but have I done them? No? Of course not, because I'm fucking lazy. All I do is rot. Its been this way for a long time, I can't even remember when the last time I didn't struggle with this. And it doesn't feel like its getting better. If it really is my autism I'm not sure how it ever *can* get better.

    Can someone who knows more about bipolar... help me? I'm trying to figure out what my issue is and what's normal.

    I'll get this out of the way at the start, there's a good chance its just other things I'm dealing with. I'm autistic, and have semi recently figured out I'm trans. Those changes have made me a little less stable feeling. CW for the rest of this post for talking about many sad things, although I do not feel sad right now. ::: spoiler self harm, suicide, negativity, drug use, eating, etc Lately I have been going from extremely happy to extremely sad, or extremely sad to very happy. As an example, last night I didn't care anymore and wanted to kill myself. Today I am on a cloud and genuinely very happy. Nothing materially changed about my situation, no one talked me down, nothing. I smoked a bit of weed, felt better but still like I'd kill myself if I could, and now (the next day) I'm doing great. I struggled with depression for a while as a teen. I was self harming (something I have sadly gotten back into), hopeless, all the things. Meds never helped, ketamine didn't help, ECT seemed to help? But the doctor thought I wasn't reporting my symptoms normally or whatever so I never was able to follow up and continue. He felt like it was some personality issue (I'm diagnosed with avpd, but now I feel autism + being trans explains it much better). But these swings happen a lot. I've made some very impulsive purchases while feeling good and just hoped it would work itself out. But is that because I broke from my depression or because I was some flavor of manic? I think when I have one of my swings people are surprised how fast it is. Just like, the way they tend to respond ("oh I'm glad you're feeling a little better" but like no, I feel completely fine now, on my way to feeling great.) The swings usually last hours or days, although like I mentioned when I was a teen I was very depressed for a while with basically no ups. I feel like I usually have a bad few days with some random ups, and then a few good days with some random downs (like once a day for a couple hours). I worry the lows will kill me one day. I get intensely depressed, suicidal, and don't care about my life. If I had access to a gun I would kill myself with it, when I feel like that. Now though, that I'm feeling good? I feel hopeful, full of life and energy, like dying is the last thing I want to happen to me. And especially if things actually don't look good in life and I don't bounce back quickly... I just would. But I'm not sure if I want to take bipolar medication either. I don't want to feel numb. This feeling of happiness is amazing, it fills me, I just want it to stay around. If my issue isn't bipolar, this could be my normal. But obviously if it is bipolar or something like it... then its not normal and the lows won't lift themselves. I guess I'm just looking for opinions, my current thought is to keep pushing on transitioning and see if the lows clear up on their own. I honestly have no idea if what I'm describing is normal emotional changes or not. The lows I'm pretty sure are not normal, because they do get bad enough I'll self harm or not eat for a day. Anything to avoid them. :::

    A great, slightly more in depth (without being mathy) explanation of transformer models. Mostly talking about AlexNet, an image classifier from 2012. Goes over some history and has some very interesting looks under the hood. He does use some personifying language for these models, but that's unfortunately the case for most information on the topic.

    I know not many of you care about LLMs/other ai models but I think this really shows the amount of loneliness and in our society. Look at how it presents itself on Google. As an AI that feels alive, always available, that understands you. People don't use this service to summarize text or get help with their programming homework like they might chatgpt. They are selling artificial companionship. ![](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/8f463997-4510-4584-bb2c-1d93f34a30d8.png)

    AVPD, a vague (tearful) rant

    bit of a warning but this is a very sad, pathetic and hopeless post. If you're easily made sad you might wanna sit this one out. [avpd](https://www.verywellmind.com/avoidant-personality-disorder-4172959) is my own personal hell. Its destroying/destroyed my life. I have 2 "friends" I hardly talk to. Dropped out of college. No real prospects. I was born privileged and have just wasted it. I'm a failure. A husk of a person. I've never been on a single date. I'm just sitting here spinning my wheels. And the wheels aren't really spinning anymore. I'm so desperately lonely, but I just... can't. I don't even know how I'd meet people, if I could step out. I'm so lonely, and *sad* and FUCK being a social creature. What a cruel joke. A social creature that has a fucking personality disorder so they avoid socializing. WHAT THE FUCK. And this shit's permanent. Its who I am. Sure I can "cope" better but I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING COPE I WANT TO BE NORMAL WTF. I WANT TO BE LOVED AND LOVE PEOPLE AND I JUST CAN'T. ITS TOO DAMN HARD. ::: spoiler suicide I just wish I could die. I can't take this. I'm such a waste. Being alive is too painful as an anti social, social being. :::

    >“Cow-to-cow transmission is definitely playing a role in how this disease progresses. To what extent, we don’t know yet,” Leibsle said. It’s clear that infected wild birds spread the disease to herds in Texas and Kansas, he said. “But the herd of cattle that came up from Texas to Idaho, the birds didn’t follow,” the state veterinarian said... >...Idaho’s Leibsle said “not all dairy producers will want to wait one, two, three weeks” for dairy cows to recover. Some producers may decide to send the animals to slaughter as beef animals, he said. This bird flu shit scares me really badly.
