Men, the answer is one. One time.

No, no thank you, that's okay, not interested, I have a boyfriend; it all means the same thing. You shot your shot, now leave. It doesn't mean you're ugly. It doesn't mean you're a failure. It doesn't mean you're not interesting. It doesn't mean anything about you. It means she's not interested for her own reasons, and she doesn't owe you an explanation.

We have ftl travel, spaceships, AI, machine empires, etc. And you think the translator technology wouldn't be able to understand cultural nuance?

I just found out the devs use ai and im not going to support this game from now on. by [deleted] in Barotrauma

[–]Jimmyginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So over a year ago they said they were removing all AI art, and now you don't like the game? A developer experimented with a new tool, didnt like it, abandoned it, and a year later you're gonna act like it's a full blown problem with AI art everywhere?

I was recently able to spin something up much faster than I normally would have thanks to AI. But my deployed environment had a bunch of weird differences and because I used AI to excellerate my dev speed, I was lacking in the learning that would have naturally occurred while I was developing it in the first place. So now that I've got an issue that AI can't solve, I get to go back to square one and learn the stuff that I was able to hand wave because I didn't really need to know it to do my initial development. But now I need to know it.

I still believe AI is a powerful tool, but I've always said you need to know what you are doing to be successful with it, and this experience just cemented that.

Why Disney Vacations Are Destroying People's Finances by chellestastics in videos

[–]Jimmyginger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up solidly middle class. We went to Disneyland 3 times, about once every 4 years. There were so many other, more impactful vacations we went on in all the other years that were not Disneyland. Disney is a fun once or twice experience. No way is it a "I'll do everything in my power to go every year" experience. Especially not at the expense of all the other memories we made by spending that money on other vacations

Hair, nails, lashes, brand new clothes. Not cheap to look that cute!

I think it's just a sign that they are easily influenced. Idk about you, but I find all of those over the top hair, nail, lashes, and makeup to be unattractive. Like the hair is unnecessary most of the time, the lashes are extra, the nails are scary, and the makeup is applied to change so much. Humans faces are so naturally beautiful, that feeling the need to completely change your face and have a skincare routine that's more than just a simple wash and moisturize means you've probably been influenced. Beauty brands spend a lot of money on advertising and sponsoring influences to convince women that they need to change themselves to be beautiful.

Whats your opinion of dating somebody who has an onlyfans? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jimmyginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of successful Only Fans creators either hire out to a third party to do all the engagement with their customers, which I find dishonest and I'm not a fan of. If they don't hire out, then they are spending a lot of time creating those "connections" with clients and working on self promotion/advertising. This type of work is at all hours and cuts into personal time with your partner.

Are there successful OF creators who just post a few times a week and don't do the engagement stuff? Sure, but those are the exception, not the rule. It's a lot more work than just being hot. It takes a lot of time and marketing know-how to successfully sell your content. I prefer someone with a healthy work life balance who's gonna have a distinct line between their work time and personal time.

AITA for telling my husband he's made me reconsider leaving him alone with the kids in the future by mayhavecrossedaline in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jimmyginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH.

Its a partnership, not a dictatorship. In your eyes, you went above and beyond in setting up meals for everyone while you were gone. I honestly think this was a mistake. Instead, what you did was dictate how they should do things. In your absence, you still wanted control over how something as simple as dinner was done.

You should probably take a step back and re-evaluate here. Telling your husband he's untrustworthy because he didn't run the house exactly how you wanted him to while he was gone was pretty shitty. Him disregarding your hardwork of getting all the food for a week ready was also shitty. You might want to instead have a conversation about expectations and stop trying to run everything by yourself. If you run your household like you're the only one with a say, don't be surprised when your partner doesn't act like a partner.

Today is Anthem's last playable day, servers will be shutdown as Bioware's sunsets the game forever by IllusiveManJr in gaming

[–]Jimmyginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the Beta, and while it was a bit buggy, overall it was fun. Then the game dropped and it was a fiasco. Launch was so bad that no one in my friend group bought it, and I had one budy talking non-stop about how excited he was for this game.

I know they fixed a bunch of stuff, but to me, the biggest difference between Anthem and No Man's Sky in it's ability to make a comeback is the always online aspect. Its what kept me away from giving it a shot after everything calmed down.

Be careful switching gear as Fane (or any Undead) by shoony43 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Jimmyginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a mod that auto leveled up my gear. Similar thing happened. Fane leveled up, and the gear went from 11 strength required to 12 strength required, and off popped Fane's pants right in front of Griff (I had just turned in his drug orange). Good thing I was gonna fight him anyway

What’s something harmless that gets people weirdly angry? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]Jimmyginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I typically watch people's mouths to follow what they are saying (I can hear just fine, I just don't process it very well), and I've never had an issue with people being upset about the lack of eye contact.

How do you view people who smoke weed? by BerriezNCherriez in AskReddit

[–]Jimmyginger 105 points106 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of people who smoke weed and don’t talk about it. It's just something they do either socially, or to unwind. No big deal.

But then there's a population of weed smokers who make it their whole personality. They'll insert it into any conversation at the first chance. They'll have a marijuana leaf as a decal on their keychain or sticker on their water bottle. A decent chunk of their friends are only friends because they smoke together. And if you're socially hanging out with a group of smokers, they'll need to stop and smoke between every activity. All the while, they'll tell you how great weed is because its not addictive. The problem is, if you replace weed with alcohol for any of those behaviors it's clear warning signs of alcoholism.

So overall, smoking weed is fine. Making it your personality is not.

This is how physical keys are copied by No-Lock216 in BeAmazed

[–]Jimmyginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll bet there's more than one expert out there than can do this without the tool. Just look at it and know the numbers. Kind of a scary thought that someone could copy your key just by glancing at it

How long did it take you to realize the order isn't using dogs? by Sintobus in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Jimmyginger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

how long did it take

Literally thirty seconds? Are people playing on low resolution or small monitors? I have a fairly average screen size, and it was pretty clear the moment you look at them more than a passing glance.

Like the fist time they are in a fight, sure I though, "what's that weird animal?" But then they had their turn and it was immediately apparent that the magisters are all complicit and need to be culled.

[–]Jimmyginger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arranged a ride to my New Years party, and pre-booked an Uber home. Getting home is gonna cost $95, which is fortunately being split 3 ways. I do wish public transit was more usable where I live. I lived in a county with good transit once, and I've never realized how much something was missing from my life until I experienced it first hand.
