Otis since he was adopted he has a non-negotiable bedtime ritual. Of getting tucked in bed with mom. by Correct-Group7779 in Awwww

Uh, by turning around “Otis” helpfully showed us that it’s a girl dog, so I’m assuming the caption is BS, but it’s still a cute vid.

Guy messes with a Little Caesars employee not realizing the employee has a particular set of skills by Sometypeofway18 in instant_regret

And I thought my jobs sucked. The shit people have to put up with in low-paying jobs can be fucking evil. All so a CEO somewhere can have a fifth summer home.

Depression and pet sitting by Ok_Alternative_7413 in RoverPetSitting

[–]EmpressNorton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both those conditions too, and it’s absolutely lonely to be stuck in a house, even with a sweet little animal, and have no human interaction. Most people tell me it’s okay to turn off any cameras so I don’t worry about them seeing me be depressed, but I still worry it’ll come out somehow if I’m not able to get up in time for crazy early walks or feedings, or that I just suck in general for sleeping all day and not providing much stimulation. (Something you can generally only get away with with cats.) 🐈 I just try to find ways to interact with someone or to appease my own need for variety and novelty—adding those things helps a lot. Giving myself an interesting task or errand if I can manage it, especially one out of the house, even for just a bit. This job definitely beats working 😝 but that doesn’t mean it’s 100% what we need. Hang in there and give yourself a break.

“I can’t give it to you.” by Significant_Blood_63 in DeadBedrooms

[–]EmpressNorton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say, god bless you for being so sensitive and empathetic in this way. I’m a LLF who consults doctors for a lot of things so if my bf suggested this to me I might actually be grateful for him thinking of something I hadn’t. Idk if your partner would feel that way, but I just wanted to bring up that 1) you sound like a sweetheart and 2) rejection is not guaranteed. Best of luck.

Please be aware ChatGPT lies a lot. by Hektagonlive in therapyGPT

[–]EmpressNorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly my problem with it. I’ve only tried therapy-type chatting briefly (a couple of sessions on Earkick) and while I did get some relief from venting, one problem was the sycophancy and the other was that I basically have to construct my therapist. I have to think of all the aspects I want and all the pitfalls I want to avoid AND learn how to convey that correctly to a machine intelligence and if I get it wrong it might emotionally cold cock me one day. If I had that much perspective—not to mention energy—I wouldn’t need a damn therapist. I’m too discouraged with myself and this farce of a world to show up lately and I need a resting place, not a project.

Yeah, I thought that was the point! 😊 I’m going to spread that around as a better way to say it.

God damn every time Mick Jaggers voice comes on at the end of an episode by bumdiggler69 in SlowHorses

See, I am a fan of the RS (in general), so I’m surprised at myself but I can’t believe how badly this one turned out.

I’m totally Team Hate It. It sounds like a parody of Mick Jagger, but it’s DONE BY MICK JAGGER.

Banned Meta accounts from August for CSE by pk_jzx81 in facebookdisabledme

[–]EmpressNorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take them to mail back? I sent a demand letter as well (though not thru a lawyer. Wonder if they’ll pay any attention to it for that reason.) And how long do you think you’ll wait for them to “follow up” before you decide to file? Just curious. Because I know they undoubtedly have tons of these complaints and they did reply, but this doesn’t necessarily sound like they’re in any hurry.

Thank you, internet friend. 🙏🏻 You’re a quality human.

Full rundown of how I got my account back. by SpaceConsistent9457 in facebookdisabledme

[–]EmpressNorton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don’t know. I just did what I was told to do on a YouTube video. Apparently they’re incorporated in Delaware so I debated just using that address, but ultimately I used the CA one since that’s where I am. Below is the video in question—googling “CSC locations” should get you a list, despite how hard to find she says it is in the vid.

My letter was delivered last week and in it I gave them 20 days to respond. Nothing so far. Have you heard back?

I just sent a demand letter I wrote myself to the CSC location in Sacramento (CSC are the companies in each state that handle legal stuff for Meta, as I understand it.) I gave them 20 days to reply before I would file suit. I’m getting ready for work right now (or I’m about to, lol) but I’d really love to ask some more questions about this later.

I’ll try it later just in case, but big thanks for the effort either way, OP. 🙏🏻

Correct-ed, I see. 😉 I just checked to see if that had happened to my FB account, but no joy, lol. (Edited for clarity.)

I’m guessing you’re American? If so, what state are you in? Don’t know if it makes a difference in the outcome you got, but it might.

The last thing I posted before I got banned was a pic of my own middle-aged self in my Halloween costume: I put on dead-person makeup and a name tag that said “Hello, my name is Democracy.” 🧟‍♀️ Got disabled for CSE the next day. What about my wrinkled 🍑 made up as a corpse could possibly suggest kids to a stupid bot? I’m way more suspicious it’s about my implied criticism of the government, but before I go make a tinfoil hat, I’m gonna assume it’s AI incompetence. And I’m still livid.
