AskSE: What do you look like?

quote [ :Mythtyn: I would like to congratulate SE on going over a year without a what do you look like post! Must be a record. ]

This one's for you, Mythtyn.

This post is comedy, so I'm encouraging hilarious, terrible, or hilariously terrible photos.

Edit: Some of you are having trouble posting your photos, it looks like mostly because you're using a service that's generating an HTML page instead of giving you a hard link to the image. Here's some help.

1. Go to imgur.com

2. Hit the upload button at the top.

3. Choose your poison on getting it uploaded, but I recommend saving the image to your desktop in advance and then drag-and-dropping it to the upload box.

4. On the page you get after the upload is complete, there will be a box labeled "HTML (website / blogs)". Copy/paste that into your reply, and wrap it with spoiler tags. Done.

Life update: Sad. Girlfriend having another paranoid schizophrenic relapse, and thinks I'm putting anti-freeze in her fruit salad. The worst episode since last year, possibly several years. Ongoing, though the energetic stage has given way to sullen resentment.

Currently it's like living with a surly flatmate, who's polite but doesn't like you very much. Earlier on, she was like somebody being haunted by the ghost of somebody who tried to murder her, but killed himself by accident. A ghost who is now mostly powerless, but would still mislead her if it can. In fact, that sounds like it would make quite a good sitcom. Unlike my life.

Hang in there, man. Schizophrenia is no laughing matter.

(That's part of the reason I'm hunting psychiatric help of my own. There's a nasty strain of schizophrenia that runs through our family too, and while I think i'm just depressed and suffering social anxiety, there is a voice - my own voice, but a voice nonetheless - telling me that I'm worthless, that it will never get better because I don't deserve it, that I should just give up. I think it's worth checking out.)

I thinking everything's a laughing matter even a kick to the nuts (helps relieve pain).

When your able to laugh about it your a good way into your recovery in a way because you can accept it as a part of your life weather it's your personal battle or someone close. And hey Patch Adams laughter medicine.

I'm guessing it's not schizophrenia. I get that one too when I'm depressed.
cb361 said @ 8:55am GMT on 20th Jul
But is it a metaphorical voice in your head, or a literal voice in your head? If it's an actual voice, even if it sounds like your own voice, it sounds like schizophrenia.
Abdul Alhazred said @ 9:05am GMT on 20th Jul
Metaphorical, in my case. Not auditory hallucinations, but my own thoughts bouncing around in there, tearing me down. I also hear my parents and sisters, but mostly it's me.

I realized I spent pretty much all my time with my hair back in a ponytail so it wouldn't hang down in front of my face and annoy me. It kind of seemed like I was carrying around all this annoying hair just because I liked the idea of having long hair, and I decided that was a silly thing to do.

HTML stuff never came naturally to me. I can shoot the photos, I just don't know how to make random letters and punctuation equate to a line of code to accomplish an internet "thing".
arrowhen said @ 11:35pm GMT on 18th Jul [Score:1 Informative]
Basic HTML isn't that hard, you just have to get over the intimidation factor of dealing with an unfamiliar language. Spanish or French or whatever can also seem like just a bunch of random letters, until you learn a bit of vocabulary and grammar and start to see the underlying logic behind it, and HTML is way more simple and logical than any human language.

HTML is essentially just a way of telling a web browser what you want it to display on a page. Most of the time what you want to display is text, so there's nothing special you have to do there. You just type in some text and it slaps it up on the page. But sometimes you want to give the browser special instructions, either to format the text, or to display an image or a link or whatever.

You enclose those special instructions, or "tags", in angle brackets, like this:
<>
so that the browser can distinguish them from ordinary text.

You tell the browser to display an image with the <img> tag. ("img" is short for "image".) But you can't just tell the browser to display any old image; you probably have a specific one in mind, so you specify it with the "src" attribute (short for "source"), like this:

<img src="https://flic.kr/p/rDyWEj">
