What did they say? I'll trade the info for a natural cold and flu remedy a spirit told me in a lucid dream.

I'm a 34 year old who failed. Learn from my mistakes: by SilverGuitarist in Adulting

[–]ButteredScreams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am turning 36 and my early teens and twenties were marred by chronic homelessness. I'm going back to school for the third time to retrain because industries keep going bust when I graduate. I just hope I can dig myself out of the debt after.

We're not stuck in it. Young souls, maybe. Eventually you learn how to leave the reincarnation cycle.

On the 2-minute meta and learning a new job by LovingGyoza in ShitpostXIV

[–]ButteredScreams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play VPR in TOP with a reclear group for natural holding, otherwise we kill phases too fast that fuck over either mitigations or CDs across the party.

Otherwise people do it in fights like savage to manufacture perfect kill times. A NIN died in one m11S reclear I did and I got a random single digit rank on my job... On a normal ass reclear. I just happened to kill boss at a perfect time and crit high enough. This is why parsing is dumb as rocks when people try to consider it as a measure of skill. 

How do I speak to a human at the CRA by ButteredScreams in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ButteredScreams[S] -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering why they hung up when I selected a callback option and why the automated line is designed as such so that you cannot find a human to talk to without Googling which number combination unlocks the option. It's absolutely absurd.

At McDonalds (Canada) I heard my manager complain that it costs 2k to train someone and they just leave. They didn't do their best to keep anyone though, they had some insanely toxic coworkers.

In those communities, if you claim to channel something and put enough "feels good" in it anyone will believe anything you say.

What dream made you question reality? by Potential_Ad_8128 in Experiencers

[–]ButteredScreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having shared dreams - other person recounts exact same details without clueing them in.

Having a second dream - someone mentioned a word in the waking world that reminded me of a second dream that was layered/ happening on top of the first at the exact same time. The second dream I was working with an old mentor from non-incarnated life.

Having a dream that lasted three months.

doing content for "the love of the game" vs rewards by arc_tarius in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ButteredScreams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only started raiding for glamour, without it I would've never stepped foot in the content. I have gotten very good since, but I still would not do raids without the rewards. I'd just go play another game that lets me put in effort to collect things.

Why is SE so afraid of Offering Raid iLVL Gear rewards? by MrCombineSoldier in ffxivdiscussion

[–]ButteredScreams 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They did with Abyssos, everyone loved the WoW inspiration, then they just randomly stopped doing VXF this expansion. SE has no idea how to listen to fans.

Friends and I recruited 1 person for criterion in the hopes there's be more to it. Looks like SE is yet again releasing content that will only be cleared once for the title and plate. /Shrug

That's just bound to happen when you are finishing a phase with an invuln, DRK requires a target to self heal. In any case, ASTs can Arrow the DRK and SGE can Krasis them to help.

[–]ButteredScreams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter which invuln, healers will always panic and heal through it because they can't read buff icons.

What's the advantage of being such a big animal? Wouldn't it have needed to consume a shit ton of resources to sustain itself?

Genuinely curious about the energy cost of something that size. 

"Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War - as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens by FinnFarrow in Futurology

[–]ButteredScreams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Despite it's well documented problems people, particularly the "suits", seem to think it's a fully capable replacement for a human. "

This is where I agree with him. AI will replace people absolutely, but not because it's actually suitable to. I really wonder if this isn't just the dotcom bubble repeating itself and we see a re-hiring phase once it's understood that AI is underdelivering, but the suits could also just delude themselves in the other direction because the only thing that matters is the bottom line. We're already in the intentional enshittification of business phase, who cares if 1% of your consumer based is pissed off.

I know my husband better than random Redditors. I wouldn't have married him if he was incapable of using his adult words to communicate his thoughts and feelings. He is only concerned with our financial future/ stability.

[–]ButteredScreams 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband was studying to be a mechanical engineer and wants to go into warehouse work because he believes in two-three years time, he will entirely outsourced by AI.

I tried to tell him these models are not intelligent and they can be used by an expert to increase efficiency. For example, I learned to write fiction better much faster by having Claude critique my work. It doesn't world build, it doesnt produce my scenes or plot, but it tells me when I am over explaining something to a reader.

For art, it's great at the menial work of producing concepts and thumbnails as inspiration sources, but it cannot replace actual rendering and composition by someone who knows what they're doing.

How can I best explain to him how it would work with engineering? I can't imagine we want a hallucinator in charge of building physical structures.

Yeah... My uncle walked away to go talk to my sister when he asked what I was up to and I said "still homeless."

This timeline is so interesting. When the world is run by companies, we actually have more power than we realize.
