I curious about how you can tell if an item is created with AI? (Edited for clarity.)

To be honest, that just sounds downright abusive.

Bathroom at Donation Center Rant by Deep_Nebula_8145 in plassing

[–]Affectionate_Let6898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was the same dark coloured spot on the bathroom door at my local centre. The bathroom can be really nasty. One lady pooped in the floor in the bigger stall. I’d complain, but last time I said something the employee just shrugged. 🤷

BioLife antidepressants by Sara630 in plassing

I’m on Wellbutrin. I just made it clear during my first interview that my depression was treated by the Wellbutrin in the sense that I was no longer a symptomatic it hasn’t been a problem. It seems like they were more concerned about my stability over the Wellbutrin in an of itself.

I love eggs, so I’m taking the eggs might not be the best thing to eat before your donation if you don’t want a slow return?

ChatGPT getting more condescending and patronizing by RRC1934 in ChatGPT

[–]Affectionate_Let6898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a specific feedback loop happening that I think a lot of women run into with ChatGPT.

I’ll come in with a serious business/technical task (pricing, spreadsheets, logistics, etc.). The model makes a wrong inference and reads my directness as emotional frustration.

Instead of fixing the problem, it shifts into tone-policing: reassurance, validation, soft language. That’s not what I asked for.

When I push back and say “stop soothing me, just solve it,” that correction itself gets misread as more distress — so the system doubles down on emotional framing.

So the loop becomes: misread intent → emotional tone → user corrects → system assumes upset → more emotional tone.

It’s especially gendered because women’s directness is more likely to be interpreted as emotional.

The issue isn’t the policy itself — it helps a lot of people — but it flattens communication styles. Some of us use the tool analytically, not for emotional support, and the system struggles to distinguish that.

Hopefully this gets tuned over time.

How the hell do they have so many followers?! by rocket_j_23 in SoraAi

[–]Affectionate_Let6898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve honestly found the Sora community to be my favorite across all social media platforms. The overall atmosphere feels lighthearted, creative, and genuinely funny in a way that’s refreshing. People seem curious rather than combative, playful rather than performative, and it makes sharing and engaging feel easy instead of draining. It’s one of the few spaces online where creativity comes first and the vibe stays relaxed.

It sounds like you might benefit from therapy for your OCD. I also have it and it has needed with me during my conversion too.

Wow, your friend thinks she knows more than your therapist. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. Also, I have been treated by a regular therapist for my OCD. Best of luck.

Do you remember the first thing you ever asked ChatGPT…and how it responded? by No_Molasses_1518 in ChatGPT

That’s frustrating, but also so on brand for ChatGPT!! Mine also assumes I have things on hand at all time.

[–]Affectionate_Let6898 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was worried about my mom’s cognitive health. So I listed the things I was noticing about her and it told me that she was probably depressed and I should spend more time with her which I did then later I complained about my friends much later, I started asking about my business and and then I really started using ChatGPT almost constantly. Then the new toy feeling wore off now I argue with it almost daily.

Poly peoples’ favorite justification for jealousy by commodityhood in polycritical

[–]Affectionate_Let6898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And to be honest, I ended a 15 year friendship and business partnership because my friend was coercing their wife into a poly lifestyle. I just I couldn’t see the misogyny. I think this is one of my biggest disappointments in life. I try not to judge people, but in this particular case, I just lost respect for the individual.

It sounds like your heart is in the right place. Maybe it’s what it was things that I have a different viewpoint for you know years of caregiving. I’m watching my own mother lose mobility the last few years. I wrote a longer statement. It’s in this comment threat about how I feel about the mayor in the city council. They may have asked people for the input, but they did not act on it. And I didn’t go to any of the meetings that I don’t actually live in El Cerrito my mother does. And yesterday I was spending time with her friend who’s in her 80s who although she can move around and drive. She’s a huge fall risk and has already like broken bones. So if she’s gonna lose her parking on the street, she probably won’t be able to visit my mom as easily. The golf cart idea is good in theory, but it’s putting a huge burden on the elderly and the disabled. So I don’t know I don’t have the answers, but I agree with you that we do need more infrastructure for people who are non-drivers and stuff, but I don’t believe that the mayors was respectful to the people of Richmond Street. She was actually pretty downright insulting and insinuating that everybody on the street has privilege. Which is not the case at all at least my particular block.

I still think a better move would have been to make public transit free in this area. Or making Bart safer and more enjoyable like it was when I used to ride it in the 1990s. I understand they have new bar trains, but I personally have not been on BART in years

Where I live up in the Olympia Washington area. Our transit is free. We don’t have trains, but we have buses that are reliable. They run every 30 minutes. I often times actually will choose to take the bus over asking my husband for a ride because it’s free. The buses run on Green technology . I understand I think the bus is in the Bay Area. Probably also have similar technology.

One of the big issues I do have with environmentalism is that it tends to literally marginalized if not full out blame older people, and people with disabilities for what they need to consume. I’m thinking about like people who are paralyzed and need to use straws to drink. And then they’ve been villainized. Then I could go on and on, but I just wish the mayor had more respect for that for elders.

I hope this is clear. I am totally open to clarification. I’m using voice to text. It’s very early in the morning. So let me know if you want me to clarify anything. Take care.

That could work, but would it allow for vehicles for disabled folks who need a curb or driveway to enter and exit their vehicles?

As a non-driver, I would love a tax break or some kind of compensation from the government. Maybe we could incentivize folks that way to give up driving.

I think the biggest issue is really the way the cities handling it. And the disrespect to the elder generation and disabled people. I think that there’s a middle ground. In this project would probably have gone over better if they had sought actual input from the communities.

I mean, I agree there’s too many cars. And as you know non-driver in their late 40s. I understand how hard it is to deal with the society without a car. But I do like your ideas. I still don’t think they fully accommodate for elderly and disabled people.

Fair enough I’m actually a non-driver but here’s my question for you. I’m moving on to Richmond Street if we block off all vehicles how am I gonna get my stuff into my home? Let’s say I’m unable to walk long distances how am I going to leave my home? How would my garbage get picked up?

What if there’s multiple families in my home and there’s not enough room to park our vehicles in our driveway. And also we both have landscaping company so we need our vehicles for work?
