[02:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	due to slowness

[02:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	closing and reopening it solved it

[02:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	after months of mystery
[02:41]	psydruid	which reduced the instruction decoder's size by 75%

[04:12]	IsambardPrince	Then they arrested him again while he was awaiting trial, for possessing child porn.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	What did they think he was going to do while he was on pre-trial release?
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	So this time they decided to detain him.
[04:12]	MinceR	maybe the judge meant the guy was not committing any acts of violence at the moment of his decision to release him
[04:13]	IsambardPrince	Not for being a sick fuck, but for disobeying the judge.

● Dec 25
[08:28]	IsambardPrince	I like this book on boundaries so far.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	The second chapter is about a 25 year old's parents coming in complaining that their son has problems, but he doesn't come with them because he doesn't think he has any problems.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	The psychologist tells them maybe he doesn't have any problems. And they're shocked.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	Then the psychologist says they're taking all of his problems and fixing them so he can be irresponsible and happy.
[08:30]	IsambardPrince	Then he says, "Would you like me to help you give him some problems?"
[08:30]	IsambardPrince	They don't quite get it.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	So he explains "Right now it's like you have a neighbor who never waters his lawn. But your sprinkler comes on and none of the water lands on yours, it all goes to his, and so he doesn't have any trouble, but your lawn is brown and dying. Maybe you should move the sprinkler to your lawn and let him live in the dirt. Eventually he won't like it."
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	That's the dynamic my mother has with my 31 year old never employed brother. She brings him pizzas and video games and doesn't mind if he throws the forks away and tosses a bunch of laundry in the bin for her to wash because he got one drop of something on it. So she's got her lawn sprinkler watering the neighbor's lawn while her lawn is dying.
[08:36]	IsambardPrince	In codependency, it tends to work like this. The giver and the taker. The giver is always trying to "fix" things, but the taker never changes, they just give the giver more and more things to "fix" that are not their responsibility.
[08:37]	IsambardPrince	This sort of toxicity doesn't just end up in family life, it ends up in the workplace too, like a boss that catches you on the way out the door and gives you a bunch of his work to do at home.
