“Boomers” being used very loosely here, I’m sure this encapsulates some Gen X as well.

I could be entirely wrong but at least in my life, I’ve noticed that it’s people 50+ who are absolutely obsessed with AI. Consuming AI content, generating AI, telling me how important it is that I adopt AI and how great it is. They’re also simultaneously really bad at telling what is and isn’t AI, but don’t seem to mind or change their opinion at all if it is.

This is the same at work - admittedly senior management tends to skew older but even so it’s a battle up top between the younger (anti-ai) and older (pro-ai) member.

The reason I find this so interesting is that for the longest time, it’s usually been boomers who are AVERSE to technology. The exact same people who told me it’s that damn phone, hated the internet, video games, hated 3G, hated crypto (valid), calculators, etc. - people who were ALL about how technology makes people lazy and ruined things and takes jobs etc. - are now the most addicted adult generation in my opinion.

What is the specific appeal about AI to boomers that other tech doesn’t seem to share?

As title suggests, my snoring is caused by my nose getting clogged up at night. No matter if I sleep on my side or back, propped pillow or not, I wake up clogged and mouth breathing.

Nothing decongests me other than waking up, sitting upright, and blowing my nose. Sometimes it’s so bad I need a hot shower to unblock.

I’ve been to an ENT and he’s said my sinuses are perfectly healthy and he doesn’t think my septum is deviated enough to cause issue (he said most people have a deviated septum and it’s not often a problem). Did an MRI and everything and it’s all clear. He said he reckons it’s an allergy thing but I’ve literally had this my whole life regardless where I sleep, including leather couches and literal hard floors.

I’ve tried antihistamines and I think it helps a bit but not much.

I think it’s a gravity thing but what tf am I meant to do about that??

What is going on and how can I stop it?

My partner is officially diagnosed with ADHD but the diagnosis letter said there was a possibility of BPD. My partner never investigated this as he felt ADHD explained it all.

ADHD is definitely the dominating trait, but since he’s been on his meds it’s quietened a lot. What hasn’t, is what I suspect might be his BPD.

My biggest issue in our relationship is how unstable I feel he is, and it’s created a chicken and egg now where I feel destabilised now too. One day he loves me, showers me in compliments, is super thoughtful - the next, he cries and calls me a narcissist who hates him.

When he’s in these episodes it’s impossible to engage - anything and everything will be used against you. Literally once he asked if I was going to do a chore, I said yes, and he blew up as if I had said no. The worst is he still maintains I somehow “accidentally” said no. I can never convince him of his delusions.

And it scares me because at this point it feels like we live in separate realities and thus separate relationships. Like he genuinely sees me as the inconsistent one, rather than him being unstable.

But it’s also made me feel like I had BPD, bc when things are good I think I’m so desperate for it that I just enjoy it and think things are “fixed”, but when things go wrong it feels like it all comes crashing down and that they’re fundamentally unsalvageable. One moment I love my partner and the next I feel like I hate him. In fact he now accuses me of having BPD.

Idk what to do or if people feel this way. I’m so exhausted and don’t get why he can’t just be… a whole person. It feels like I’m dating two people in one body.

Had a discussion over dinner about GLP-1s and whether there was actually a “catch” to them after all (aside from the awful side effects and pancreatitis risk), and a few people brought this up.

Apparently GLP-1s inherently cause more muscle wastage than in traditional weight loss no matter what the person doses. So GLP-1s are bad long-term (aside from urgent cases) because they’re causing frailty.

Is there merit to this statement? I’m genuinely out of my depth here.
