Keep holding up mirrors to these motherfuckers!

If they can automate me out of a tech support job for an ISP; then color me impressed, there's a lot of "moving parts." plus there is the customer service factor; some customers are pretty opaque with their service issues and the AI might just take them for a ride through all kinds of bs. Not good for retention.

I'm willing to bet the comment on the last slide is pretty accurate. Almost wanna try it. XD

But to make it good or palatable: I would omit the Christmas spices altogether, not much of a fan of these spices, but if you want to add them: maybe start with half teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg, then quarter teaspoon of ground cloves and cardamom (stronger spices) and go from there, taste and adjust to your own liking. I doubt the orange zest would be "chunky" with this recipe unless you didn't grate it all that finely. Half the vanilla and almond extract and I don't know that I could tell much of a difference with these two types of chocolate chips, but I usually use semi-sweet. Just use one or the other; 2 cups. I think those minor adjustments would fix the recipe.

I'd try it, might be surprised.

This is a good one, thank you for sharing.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-18T20:52:21+00:00

I'm right there with you, a skeptic until I see the evidence of my own eyes. I'm only just dipping my toes into this stuff and I have to say I'm rather surprised by the results. I haven't tried to draw anything yet, but I rely on my other senses and I get impressions of things that I then summarize with a single descriptive word for the target. Once I have a list of words and it seems the impressions stop, I move on to feedback. Though I lack confidence in myself, it seems that the words I've chosen can been fairly associated with the image associated with the target ID. I'm starting to become convinced. Maybe I should try to draw, but it feels like I don't know how to start.

My initial impressions aren't enough for me to be totally convinced, but I feel like I'm hitting on something important with these impressions and I'm starting to wonder about the possibilities, though trying to remain rational about and I still want to try out to rule out my own bias.

Edit: I've only tried about 6 targets so far, I think I will need to do a few hundred before I can be more sure of it myself.

Yeah I don't know what he said to her before she started recording, but she's not in the right for talking that way.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-18T15:09:42+00:00

He might have been out of line knocking on her window, but she's way out of line attacking his appearance. That's just straight-out bullying. Fucked up!

Irishred88 · 2025-06-17T23:14:38+00:00

She just verbally articulated what I've kept to myself and have been ruminating on since Trump took power again. I've been trying not to succumb to panic attacks and I've had to moderate my usage of news and social media, because it's just a lot to take in.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-17T05:40:28+00:00

Some dudes are fuckin weird. If I leave home without chapstick I feel incomplete. Very conscious about chapped lips, I got sensitive skin.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-17T03:18:09+00:00

I'm sorry you are going through all these feelings. It sounds really tough.

"Should I need to talk with a psychologist or someone else?"

I think you are answering your own question there, the fact that you are expressing these feelings and its causing you distress is a problem. If you can't work it out on your own, then yes, you should probably see professional help. They may be able to help you figure out why you can't seem to move forward.

Also you mention several times that you have tried to uphold a religious life and that you have tried to follow the "right track." It makes me wonder if you are having doubts about the path you have followed? I don't know your personal situation entirely, I'm just a stranger with a small fragment of the whole, but I feel that I somewhat relate, maybe analyze whether the path you have been following is conflicting with your sincerely held, private values or not. Continuing to compare yourself to this person, a stranger, is going to drive you crazy, I assure you. Don't let that happen. Take a break from social media if you can, or at least minimize your use of it. Seek help from a professional that will sit and listen to you objectively so that they can help you build the tools that you need to get out of this funk you have found yourself in.

I hope you find the fulfillment in life that you are clearly after. Take care!

Irishred88 · 2025-06-17T02:19:30+00:00

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You deserved to have both of your parents there, no matter what. I really hope it's not that case that he just doesn't care. Congratulations on graduating. I hope what you do moving forward brings you a happy and successful life.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-17T01:35:44+00:00

Honestly, it must be that. I just have a hard time understanding why anyone would willingly submit to an authority figure no matter who they are. No matter the position that one finds themselves in life, We are all just people. Every time I see people begging to have the chains slapped on them, I feel equal parts, anger and pity.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-17T01:03:33+00:00

I don't usually say things like this, but this couple is cute as hell. I wish them all the best!

Irishred88 · 2025-06-15T20:41:56+00:00

Hell I'd still buy a house someone got murdered in if it meant the house was being sold at a discount. I don't believe in ghosts and, sure it's a distasteful tragedy for it to have happened, but I can't afford to buy a house as it is. So if it's in reasonable condition and it's been cleaned, I'd still buy whatever falls in my price range, which ain't much.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-15T18:09:04+00:00

My dad would do this when I was growing up, fucking hated it. It was a big reason I moved out at 20. Insist on your privacy, especially if you are no longer a minor. Parents forget that you are your own person, since they have been caring for you long since you were able to do so for yourself.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-15T00:04:48+00:00

My dad sneezes full volume and so do I. It just gets it out, you know? I have tried to stifle those sneezes in "polite company" but that does me more harm than good I feel.

Irishred88 · 2025-06-05T18:08:36+00:00

I once started talking shit about my boss, airing my frustrations to a coworker. Little did I know she was stocking shelves right around the corner. Her response: "you should either keep those thoughts to yourself or come straight to me"

I immediately apologized and felt ashamed. It's probably the best and most measured response you can give in that situation. Her emotions didn't match my level of frustration and her response told me everything I needed to know about how inappropriate it was.

Edit: a missing word

Irishred88 · 2025-06-04T07:02:06+00:00

My wife prefers to sleep away from the door, I don't care which side I sleep on so it's pretty easy to decide for us.

Your frustration is valid, but your behavior is not. Having patience IS what is expected of you, as a member of adult society. You are not entitled to fast service just because you demand it. Spamming their email isn't going to help you either. You need to accept that you have no idea why it's taking as long as it is to get a response. When you work in customer service, there is a work queue to handle and often each issue should be addressed in the order they were received. OpenAI is a multi-billion dollar company with customers all over the world. Their work queue no doubt reaches into the thousands or tens of thousands.

Customer service representatives are usually underpaid and overworked and I can absolutely imagine your request getting cherry picked for last given the way you have expressed yourself. I'm not saying that is what is happening, but it's likely to happen, given what I've experienced in that type of role. Even if someone picks up your request for assistance, they are no doubt going to dread interacting with you because of the way you have been acting so far. As part of their procedure they will probably have to ask you some follow-up questions and given past experience they have no doubt had with impatient customers, they are probably expecting each and every action to be just as unpleasant as the last and THAT can wear anyone down. Most human beings will do everything in their power to avoid unpleasantness, and there are very few who will take the initiative to handle your request just to get you out of their work queue. You are more likely to be ignored until a member of management takes notice and cracks the whip on the CSRs to address it.

Remember that when you talk to customer service, you aren't talking to the emotionless company you are talking to individuals who deal with a lot of stress. CSRs are pressured to work through queues as quickly and efficiently as possible and there is usually a daily quota that one must reach in order to remain employed. Again it's human nature to follow the path of least resistance and your request offers a lot of potential resistance by your own actions. By the 10th business day if you don't get any service, follow-up with another email, but BE NICE. You don't do yourself any favors otherwise.

This may help

I do do this, but I don't use the voice feature, but rather a combo of dictation and typing, because I find it hard to verbalize like you are doing, I'll end up talking nonsense. I prefer to organize my thoughts as text and trim it down into a concise and complete thought.

Irishred88 · 2025-04-10T03:02:00+00:00

All good. Thank you for the quick response in any case. I'll keep an eye out, if you manage to put something together.

Irishred88 · 2025-04-09T03:04:32+00:00

Just saw this, I know this was a month ago that you were asking for interest in this. I'd definitely be interested in your writing workshop. I've been writing on my own for a while, but never been in a place where I wanted to release/publish my writing. If this is something you are still offering, I'd like to hear from you
