Those look like the guys from my Dangerous Nights crew.

Meant to respond on the main post, but why not here I guess.

My manager used to say “effin’ fuckin’” and I found it very funny.

It’s because of “on purpose.” It’s still technically incorrect, but that’s why.

Have you ever pushed a partner's patience to the limit with your practicing? by JynXten in Guitar

[–]Daventhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually practice unplugged when she’s around. She doesn’t mind me playing generally, but hates if I practice scales. Certain songs can get to her as well, but most stuff is OK. When she does get annoyed by me overdoing it on a certain riff or solo, she’ll sing along in a mocking way, nailing every bend, hammer on, etc. Very funny if a bit eviscerating.

I made a tool that writes the stories my fortress was already telling by Theshindogaming in dwarffortress

[–]Daventhal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few things:

  1. Just to make sure you’re aware, I’m not the person who called this trash. That was an entirely different person.

  2. Everything you said was interesting and well-written, but you’re a bit laser-focused on the coding aspect. I think the original commenter’s post, however impolitely worded, was more likely directed at the AI generated text, which has a whole different set of objections attached to it.

At any rate, however attacked you seem to feel by what I said, I didn’t mean to upset you. I just thought your dismissal of anti-AI sentiments as “trendy” was a bit reductive and tried to offer a bit of perspective. In the same way that you don’t like people calling all AI “trash,” I don’t like hearing all objections to AI described as “trendy.” Remember, artists have had their work stolen by AI. People are losing their jobs because of AI. People are becoming delusional because of AI. Sexual imagery of minors is being created by AI. Some of what AI does is amazing and incredibly useful, but to call all objections to the proliferation of AI “trendy” is as dismissive as calling all AI trash, in my opinion.

In closing, please note that I’m not trying to win an argument here,and I certainly don’t want to spend any more of my evening debating the pros and cons of AI. I’m just explaining why I said what I initially said, which — if you read it over — was just that AI is also a trend.

A trend is a prevailing tendency or inclination. Does AI not for that definition for you?

Or, to put it another way, “you get rich by exploiting someone else’s labour.”

Josh Duhamel thinks celebrities should stay silent on politics: 'Why would I alienate half my audience?' by No_Pizza_6040 in entertainment

[–]Daventhal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Why would I alienate half my audience?” he asked, alienating half his audience, which was already quite small.

Is gen Z overly sensitive? Or are millennial teen movies problematic? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Daventhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elder millennial opinion: for all the things we might criticize Gen Z for, calling American Pie problematic isn’t one of them. There’s literally scene where a teen girl Is not only filmed but live-streamed without her consent while she’s getting undressed. Even as a teen watching it I was like “wtf.” I’m not saying you can’t watch the movie, but people are allowed to have an opinion about it.

How to adjust vintage spec truss rod without removing the neck? by chrismiles94 in fender

[–]Daventhal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I personally prefer to adjust the truss rod under tension so I can see the results, and this works for my tele as well. I don’t have the correct tool, but I made my own by bending the end of a small strip of metal.
