  • Thank you, I'm glad this little breakdown helped. It's actually been something I struggled with recently, so putting it here in plain English was useful for me.

    You are not your achievements—you never have been.

    You are separate to your achievements.

    If you really want to know who you are, there are some books that help on this subject, though you are the conscious observer of these things, not the things themselves. If you construct a shelf and I put this shelf in front of you and ask, "is this you?", of course, you would go "no, that's not me." If you achieve earning yourself a mansion and fine clothes, you may think those things are rather nice, though those things aren't you and the thoughts that those things are nice are also not you.

    What happens is that you actually get lost in the energy of your achievements; anything that upsets that delicate balance tips you over the edge into that ultimate pit of confusion / despair, like your whole world has been turned inside-out—you are unable to risk anything that might damage that sense of self and tip you into that state, therefore you don't ever take any risks. It's the ultimate casualty of building any sense of self-concept that you protect other than your true sense of self, the conscious being observing those things.

    I'm looking forward to Sandman89 season X+1. :)

  • Procrastination is a deep subject, and the reason for procrastinating is going to be different for every person.

    To me, it sounds like this is not the procrastination of one thing, though rather the procrastination of a lot of different things, so I would suggest that the issue you're probably struggling with is perfectionism.

    Perfectionism stems from you seeing mistakes as deep, personal flaws, defining yourself based on achievement as well as how well you do something, and doing things in order to earn approval and acceptance from others, rather than doing things for yourself.

    Perfectionism is other-focused. Healthy striving is self-focused and self-driven.

  • 2 steps: rotate board 180 degrees, then rotate each square 180 degrees. You can probably set up a macro to do it if you did it in a tool which supports those, like Photoshop or GIMP

    I get this is slightly more effort to do, though I have a feeling people are going to be confused if you don't. kresten@feddit.dk added a move which was intended for white, for example

  • For that to work, it would need to create a Python script that would remove all of the words ending with A, run that script, and then give you the results. I think this process of handling user requests is in the works.
