@Catija So I have a sound recorder in my pocket wired to a lav mic, a clapperboard, a camera with live-view remote (same one you saw me using at the airport), and a presenter remote to control slides behind me; can I do it by myself?
I think the answer is still the same: we can't help them directly. Probably a mod flag to redact the chat is also needed, and tell them to have a proper consultation.
@JourneymanGeek, I was thinking about alternate explanations for this behavior and even if there wasn't a genuine drug issue at hand, a user wouldn't be posting such alarming content without a serious unmet need.
@JourneymanGeek TBH... this is a nonobvious case of arrogance. I was basically trying to stand in for a mod by attempting to address the problem myself.
TBH, helping user psychologically/mentally is not a simple task. That's why there are Samaritan-kind help centers that are trained for this certain situation.
I don't like to do mains. But I do want to fit on a few smart switches so my mom can stop yelling across the apartment and just turn my room lights off and on ;p
But it's key to bear in mind what you can and cannot do. While you may eventually be able to attain a certain level of skill in a certain field, it does not mean you can jump ahead without actually having attained said level of skill.
I need to realize that no matter how attainable a particular level of skill is, what matters right now is your current skill, and that you base your decisions on that rather than be deceived by your own aspirations.
I get that a lot. When more then one person is talking in discord for instance I get severe headaches and confusion because I can't tune out anyone's voice very well
@Dog I've suspended you for 24 hours. If you survive, hopefully, you'll come back. Do get medical attention if you're caughing blood. Its a dour way to die.
Long story short, I've suffered more than my fair share of behaviorial/disciplinary issues in elementary school, which has led me to yearn for the ability to behave better.
As I grew increasingly frustrated over my behavioral issues, I grew a fervent desire to overcome them. I kept trying and failing and trying and failing...
The first step is acknowledging there is a problem. It seemed like you made some progress with that with that user, so hopefully they take some sort of meaningful action.
@TravisJ been there actually... few years ago if I was looking for an idea of programming project, I checked and decided to cancel it if it already existed...
