@EmC SkyKnit: How an AI Took Over an Adult Knitting Community

(Very random link, but I came across that and remembered there was someone in here who did knitting :D)

@dhein I was replying to a message I received from you 20-something hours ago. Yet again, I'm doing the same thing now. I don't get on this site that often, so disregard anything from this point forward. I'm not likely to see it in time.

@dhein spoon theory is good for anyone with chronic anything! Mental health, autism, physical disability, chronic pain...it's great for explaining why I might not be able to do all the things the way a healthy person might because of my stuff vs theirs. It's one ofy favorite things to use to explain stuff.

How do I write about myself without sounding arrogant, egotistic, or bragging too much?

@ThatRandomGuy yeah. Some one said something and my response was depending on that info. Tho, when you responded I didnt know anymore what it was nor where the message was 😅

@Ash Thanks for the confirmation. Thats also what I got told, couldn't find it on a quick search online in that way and did not want to say something wrong.

@JBis writing some sort of resume or application? yeah I can't stand that, its a lose lose

JBis

@Jesse Exactly right! :)

Jesse

my advice is to go riiight back to as boring and factual as possible

I worked on ____

I was a part of ____

Here ___ is something I created

use the things you link to to show off

not the words

if you are younger its pretty hard.. nobody has that big of a portfolio as an undergraduate

id still stick to that style though, even if a highschool student

I got __ grades

I was in ___ club

I worked part time here ___

really im the last person to ask..

hate it

dont know why im giving advice

JBis

Heres the problem in a bit more description: I am building a website (brownserver.ddns.net/profile if you want to see what I mean) that has all the projects I have worked on. I think I have done a decent job of not sounding too arrogant for the descriptions of the projects I have done, but the final project I want to list is the actual website. The reason that I created it sounds bad though: "but I didn't think a resume could adequately describe everything I have done.".

I mean a resume is just text. No images or interactive stuff. Boring. I thought the website would be able to do it justice but it just sounds bad :(

Jesse

skip the description?

JBis

@Jesse Yeah, that was my second thought but, design wise, it looks shity because everything else has a description

Jesse

or make up a fake one, "wanted a platform to learn some web dev basics and play around on"

reason is that its a learning experience xD

JBis

lol thats actually not a bad idea...

yeah I dont like it either, but it got to get done :p

thanks for your help!

gonna try the fake idea XD

Jesse

or the description could be that its a tool to improve your online portfolio

:) glad to

JBis

Also, how does joshbrown.info sound for a domain? Trying to get some opinions before I purchase it.

Jesse

as long as joshbrown is your name then yes thats all good

JBis

lol

thanks

Q: Talking to a parent about their mental health

I am worried I have a parent who exhibits signs of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and I would like them to see a clinician. What is the best way to bring up my concerns without running into the stigma around mental health? The best answer would be one that is widely applicable for others, bu...

@AJ Hum, I don't know who is filling this review queue... * run away evilly laughing *

Good morning!

Noon

Good morning! :D

@dhein No problem for me if you don't have "back up", it just that I like to read articles ^^ And yeah, I already know of the spoon theory. I was just wondering if you know something more?

dhein

@Tinkeringbell Mornin :)

@Noon Well, as said all I know is quite related to me, as its about how I experience things and opinions of others I trust, about how I could handle it/see things diferent. But if you wan't I can share ^^

But yeah, its more than just the spoon theory I am aware of about myself :P

Noon

I would be glad to hear about that :)

dhein

What about having a diferent chat room for that? Not that I mind everyone reading it, but my textes can get quite long when talking about such topics and I dont want to spamm those who are not interested in reading that :x '^.^

Noon

Well, it's not like there is a lot of activity in here and I'm sure other people could be interested by our conversation (like avazula for example)

So, I think we can stay here :)

Alex

@dhein If it ends up bothering people it can always be moved to another room after the fact.

dhein

I have no problem with sharing that link here and ava and who ever else wants to can feel free to join, thats why I said I dont mind everyone reading it. But I have inhibitions "talking to" others about my "problems" without them having directly stated they want to know about it. :x

Hmmm kay

But expressed my reservations about it... So.... No one can blame me, and who does anyways... I am disapointed :P

Noon

Don't worry, if someone blames you I will be there to "talk" with them: "Don't you dare blaming dhein!"

dhein

Ok '^.^

Well then. Could you please give me a frame, tho? So I don't tell you just things you already know anyways or aren't of use?:P Like in what regards you would like to have insights? (I hope you know what I mean)

Noon

Does autism impact the motivation you need to have for doing, for example, sport?

dhein

7:16 AM

A good one :) I'll respond, as soon my "home office workingstation" is set up. :) (my laptop signed into the Wlan and beeing booted xD)

Noon

I'm waiting ^^

Other question, does it also impact your willingness to do some chores? (take a shower, cooking food, doing your laundry, etc...)
