He said he paid his bill on time every month, he just didn't update the site in a while!


Is this a bug or mistake,? Quoted content is from another thread I saw on here about tension in duplo train tracks


"To the extent that if we had this exchange with our faces and reputations on the line, you'd be savaged by my words and look like a fool."

Were you able to type this with a straight face?


When did HN get like this? You disagree with his beliefs, fine. But at least respect him in the same way he has you.


So, how did you find this fix?


cue the segway


No segway, I've posted a bit of a discussion above. Not all that interesting unfortunately. The error message was obscure but the problem space was pretty small so I did mostly the same thing as Fabian and searched online for related terms to PCIe hotplugging and PCIe address allocation.


1. Work up the courage to kill myself


I hope this isn’t sarcasm, because it isn’t funny. If you are serious, please ask find someone to talk to. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, you have all of “us”.


I'm sorry, it's not sarcasm. But I don't think it was appropriate to say. I don't think that talking can help me. I feel like I died around 2 years ago and now I'm just going about day to day things in a way that people don't get upset with me, but every day I feel more and more checked out of reality.


Talking may not feel helpful but I think if you try it and are open to the thoughts and suggestions shared by others it could help.

I had a period of my life about 12 years ago (I was 39/40 years old) where I felt similar to you. Everything I did and had in my life seemed pointless and I felt like I was just waiting around to see it all inevitably crash and burn. When I went in public all I saw was a mass of people I felt completely disconnected from and wondered what problems and fears they were hiding. Panic attacks, difficulty getting out of bed. After a long mental struggle with myself assuming that the way I felt couldn’t be fixed I went to the doctor and started therapy. Aside from treatment for depression, it turned out that due to stress my testosterone had crashed and was below 100 (600-800) is normal.

What you are feeling is a chemically induced state we interpret as feelings. Please don’t assume that feeling can’t be changed. With a bit of perspective and chemical correction you will be amazed how much better things can be and you can find your purpose and drive again. It will take time and it will take work, but it is worth it. Don’t let your brain lead you astray, it can play tricks on you and of course, it all feels real.


Are there symptoms of low testosterone in men?

I wonder if its more common than we realize.


Hey, been in this situation and went out of it at some point. Some medicine, some mental work to make things better. You can make it work for you if you try.

If you need someone to talk to, just send me a message, or reach me on my e-mail: me at my username dot com
