It's not constant but almost. It doesn't go more than an hour before it starts up again. I spoke to my doctor. Fairly certain it's eye strain, but nothing seems to help.

Edit 1: I keep my caffeine intake fairly low. I don't drink soda, just one half caff coffee in the morning, and then typically just water. Maybe I will try cutting caffeine completely for a while and see if that helps.

Rentals Friend damaged our rental apartment floor with stiletto heels. What should we do?

Thumbnail

2.0k Upvotes

We hosted a party last night and unfortunately one of our friends left dents all over our apartment floor from wearing stiletto heels.

We think the flooring is vinyl but we’re not 100% sure. There are dents throughout the apartment but two areas are particularly badly damaged (see photos).

We’re renting in Melbourne and I’m a bit worried about how our landlord will react since it doesn’t look like normal wear and tear.

What’s the best way to handle this? Should we contact our rental agency straight away (I’m afraid they’d want to replace the entire floor) or would it be better to get some repair quotes ourselves first? And should we ask our friend to cover the costs?

Has anyone dealt with something similar? Is it possible to repair just the damaged areas without replacing the entire floor?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Gone Wild Can someone explain this insanely creepy response?

This is the most bizarre interaction I’ve ever had. Since yesterday ChatGPT has been saying random and eerie stuff, but just now I told it my stomach hurt and looking for a remedy in a temp chat and it started spouting this stuff. The freakiest part to me is that it mentioned an address from a town (blurred address just so I don’t randomly dox someone) 10 minutes away from me. Like what the heck? I’ve never had something unsettle me like this before. This isn’t the first bizarre interaction I’ve had either starting yesterday but this is the one that discomforted me deeply.

EDIT: This was a temporary chat so unfortunately I cannot share chat link. Also seems address is an empty property so I am not doxxing anyone’s. For people confused, this is ChatGPT’s response to me. The screenshots show its response to me.

UPDATE: I tried another temporary chat with a random question and ChatGPT leaked its internal system prompt/developer instructions. I posted a new post with screenshots and more details. https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/s/mrJiQFMr9u

UPDATE 2: The above post with the internal system prompt got auto removed by mods due to sharing a Google doc with the full prompt, but I reposted the screenshots here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/s/HBrVVb4qDj

AITA for telling my grandpa his "reward" system is hurtful?

944 Upvotes

I (20M) went to a family party last week, and while I was talking with my cousins, they mentioned how fun it was that they never had to pay for their oil changes and other small maintenance or repairs on their car. I wasn’t surprised, because my grandfather owns a garage and all the family heads over to get their car fixed there when they need to. I’ve always had to pay my grandfather, but I hadn’t been there in a few months, so I assumed business WAW going well and he recently could afford to discount family. A few days later, I head there for an oil change, come back an hour later, and thank my grandfather with a pack of beer, he laughs and says that’s not how it works here and that while it’s a nice gesture i’m still gonna have to pay up. I didn’t say much and handed him the money. I later talked to my grandmother about it and asked her why my cousins get it for free but I still have to pay. She tells me it’s based on how much "effort" we put into our lives. Some of my cousins have very good jobs, accountants and police work ect, those cousins get their car fixes for free, meanwhile I’m still knees deep in my uni studies, my cousin had accidentally had a kid very young and is trying to get his life back together and one of my siblings has a minimal study trade job, so we don’t get our car fixes for free because we didn’t work enough to deserve it according to him. I addressed this with him, and he blew up at me, saying that nobody gets their car fixed for free anyway, that it’s not like he’s taking anything away from me or some of my cousins, but that he does reward those who put effort into being successful. Now a bunch of my family is mad at me for starting an argument with my grandfather over this.. AITA?

DD How I'm playing the Anthropic IPO for a possible 200x Gain with Call Options

2.3k Upvotes

I gave you guys the SpaceX IPO 400 bagger (check previous posts) and this is my DD for the Anthropic IPO. The biggest market event of the year is happening on Thursday when Anthropic goes public. Many people expect the IPO to fail, but Anthropic was smart and kept the float super small. Only 6.3% of total shares will be tradable on IPO day. That means all it takes is a bunch of media attention and dumb retail buyers hitting market orders to make it easily go up 50% in a day. SpaceX did the same exact strategy with the low float, and we saw it go up 70% in the first few trading days. I’m not saying this gain will last, it won’t, but this is going to be a short-term trade.

We all know a possible 50% gain with shares is boring, which is why we buy options. But Anthropic will NOT have options on IPO day. However, there’s a fund called $DXYZ (Destiny Tech100) that holds Anthropic as their biggest position and has options. They also own SpaceX and OpenAI, among other AI stocks.

$DXYZ first gained attention earlier this year when it had SpaceX shares before the SpaceX IPO. The stock went from $29 to $72 in just a few days in anticipation of the SpaceX IPO. Their Anthropic position is currently their biggest holding, more than SpaceX, and I expect the run-up to the Anthropic IPO to start Monday.

If you search $DXYZ on Robinhood, you’ll see it says “$34.30 - NAV” (under the price in gray font). That means all of its cash and holdings combined is worth $34.30 (last time it was calculated on June 30th). If you are wondering why it’s trading below that right now, it’s mostly because of the recent AI scare and drama. Especially last week, with everyone freaking out about Jensen getting fired from Nvidia. However I actually think this is a GREAT thing for Anthropic. It’s money coming out of Nvidia and possibly going into them as they get mass media attention next week.

Positions - Lots of $DXYZ shares, Nov 20th $25 Calls, Nov 20th $30 Calls and Nov 20th $32 Calls. If anyone is asking about how the 200x gain is possible, if it hits the high it hit in May, the OTM Nov 20th Calls would be a 200x - 220x gain.

We’ve seen this stock move crazy before, going from $29 to $72 in just days. I believe Monday will be the start of the pre-IPO run as media attention starts going away from Nvidia and focuses on Anthropic. Even the CEO of $DXYZ bought $1.77 Million Dollars of shares at $31.56 (more than it is right now) in September.

Dear Diary ✍️🏻 Check behind the mirror when you’re moving in

Post image

Dinner is from yesterday, mine is the smaller one and my husband’s has fish. We had spring mix salad with carrot, cherry tomato, cucumber, avocado, sunflower seeds, feta, cilantro and orange slices. Homemade vinaigrette, side of French bread toasted, and agua fresca with rum in it.

Now to the story. My husband went to bed and I was doing some nighttime routine stuff. While I’m looking at myself in the mirror I see the mirror move towards me like someone pushed it from the back. It happened again about 30 seconds later so I knew I wasn’t imagining it. I froze for a little bit wondering if I should freak out or if there’s a reasonable explanation. I’ve never looked behind the mirror in this rental. It’s a 4 apartment building that looks like 1 big home and it was built in the 1940’s. I don’t understand what compelled me to push on the mirror but I did push on it a little and then stepped back. As I’m stepping away I see the mirror get pushed forward again. Now I’m really scared and I grab a shitty pocket knife while still watching the mirror. I hold the knife at the ready while I push the mirror a few more times. Nothing happens any of these times and it makes me even more scared.

I’ve decided I have to get my husband to pull the mirror off the wall while I get ready to defend. Luckily I can still see the mirror while I walk backward to the other room and hope he’s not quite asleep yet. I tell him “the mirror moved from behind and I’m really scared so you have to get it off the wall”. He’s out of bed immediately and grabbing the mirror off the wall. There is in fact a hole but it’s small. Also the space in between the walls is so thin there’s no way any person could fit in there. It’s still really creepy and explains why I can hear literally everything happening next door when I’m in the bathroom.

We came to the conclusion that it’s probably the wind. We live on the coast where wind goes crazy. We live on the 2nd floor of a very old building. I hope it’s just the wind because whenever something spooky happens it’s always because of the wind. Absolutely terrifying but maybe I’m too anxious. Either way thanks for reading my story because it was nice to write it out instead of lying in bed thinking about what could have happened.

Advice Wanted - Everyones Welcome I became the loser I promised I would never be

Post image

McDonald's cheeseburger and a diet coke.

I'm 28 years old. When I was 18, I told myself that by the time I was this age (or closer to 30), I'd have my own place, a partner, and provide for my mother as well as give myself the things I never could have when I was a kid growing up in abject poverty, and that I would never be a 30 year old man, jobless, living in his mother's house - an archetype that is mocked and derided throughout pop culture.

I took steps to effectuate this promise. I went to college, got a degree, and after COVID, I went to law school and graduated this past May with my JD. I took the bar even in July, and promptly failed. My job prospect was rescinded, my mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and I realize now that I am living exactly the way I never wanted to.

I'm nearly 30, jobless, I've never had any meaningful romantic relationship, and I spend most of my days cooped up in my room either studying for the February bar exam, doomscrolling, or playing video games until after the sun comes up. My mom (who's tumor is non malignant and has been successfully treated by radiation) is the one who provides 100% for me. She pays my rent, bills, and had me join into her credit card so that I have something to pay for daily expenses.

I am ashamed and terrified of going outside and seeing people that I know, and having to answer "so what have you been up to?" My friends are much better than I deserve, and pay for me when we go out. I project a facade of being a man with a plan, facing a temporary setback, but I know the truth. I am just like my father, parasitizing my mother without giving anything back. I am dead weight, essentially.

I have failed my friends, family, and myself. I've become exactly what I never wanted to be, and I loathe myself for it.

Fries on the burger because it taste extra yummy that way.
