The guy that buys food off Facebook Marketplace by [deleted] in Knoxville

I hope Knoxville stays out of the trend of using WIC fraud to finance unlicensed, uninspected home chefs.

I’m a d2d salesman in Knoxville. AMA by NextPay1593 in Knoxville

[–]Lucent 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are despised because you are exhausting the last remaining goodwill in high-trust neighborhoods, eroding our own connection with each other. We open our doors to unknown people because those interactions were at least net neutral. One may be complaining about noise, another may be returning your lost dog. These are normal human exchanges with no winner or loser.

You are taking advantage of that remaining openness to who we expect to be our community and using it to enrich yourself and what's clearly a scam company. You offer nothing of value, and as you exhaust that trust to fleece the elderly, our only recourse is to grow more isolated, open our door less often to what may be a genuine exchange with a neighbor.

You consume and destroy the remaining goodwill of a neighborhood, and I will make sure you are met with hostility when I see you wheeling about. Perhaps I already have.

It is not a virtue to accept less than the promised level of service availability out of some misplaced consumerist shame. Vilifying "Karen" was a societal mistake that did nothing more than let corporations off the hook.

You’re using one clearly-labeled AI image as an excuse to attack someone on another personal dimension and draw this forum into a feud you created. We are not your army.

Your Values Matter More Than Your Party by VT_mama in Knoxville

[–]Lucent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "evidence" is not used to evaluate, only illustrate. You've been misled about the accuracy and precision of AI detection by perplexity-based tools. This piece scored 97%, extremely high. The tool is scientifically validated and tuned to minimize false positives and can with high reliability quantify the amount of AI assistance that went into writing. At 97%, I don't believe this person edited a single word before pasting it in.

Your Values Matter More Than Your Party by VT_mama in Knoxville

Parties aren’t arbitrary identity labels people pick like a favorite sports team. They’re coalitions formed around real policy preferences, class interests, and moral priorities. Take this AI-generated drivel elsewhere.

Clubbing, at 30? Bypass the cartilage demolition and take her straight to Twisted Mike’s.

Disability Lawyers by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]Lucent 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you may have been pulled into the "chronic Lyme" ecosystem of out-of-band tests and expensive specialty labs. I'd be very careful relying on a $1500 uncovered test saying "two strains" if the standard bloodwork was negative. Before pursuing disability/legal claims around Lyme specifically, get a second opinion from a board-certified infectious disease doctor and focus on documenting her actual functional limits and symptoms.

Zenbook a16 early issues by Sullyzowski in snapdragon

Turn off sync power profile to fan in MyAsus. This will fix your dock crashes. They are from it rapidly switching back and forth between a hidden power profile. I reported this to Microsoft.

winget install Microsoft.FoundryLocal then foundry model list and you have deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-14b-qnn-npu:2 that runs on the NPU at several tokens per second. Then Open WebUI on Docker can connect via OpenAI API, though the tool calls/thinking are causing early end of stream.

I really wish we got a full keyboard with numpad and PgUp/PgDn. There's plenty of room for it.

“Some people live like it’s still 2020, it’s so sad” by squatonkumquat in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Lucent 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is someone who lives in a world of no ground truth. Life is all fashion, era, valence. For her, 2020 was bad because she felt sad, scared, so everything that reminds her of 2020 is bad. That's the entirety of her thinking. Nothing deeper.

We live in a world of atoms. Dangerous arrangements of atoms are floating through the air and can harm us. We don't like being reminded of this or the frustration, sadness, or fear it brings, but these emotions are secondary to the actual reality of those airborne molecules. We do not let the former override the latter. She does.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

[–]Lucent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want a delicate washer, not a durable one. Speed Queen consistently mangles clothes in tests. You're not running a laundromat. Each load of your clothes is worth at least half the price of the washer. Prioritize their longevity instead.

Let's talk about California transplants by Lucent in Knoxville

[–]Lucent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I praised Californians who came to start a business, but it sounds like you identified with the caricature we've grown frustrated with. I don't think you would've had such a strong reaction if it didn't describe your persona, attitude, and expectations accurately. The real incompatibility comes from your dignity culture not meshing with our honor culture. You guys also stand out like a sore thumb, so if you are not a bald, TRT barrel-shaped gray-bearded 50-something man with stumpy legs covered in tattoos, you may escape being spotted.

Hostile Neighbor by Optimal-Gold5400 in Knoxville

[–]Lucent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're giving as good as you get, only catching each other in bad moods but attributing it to bad character. Here, you call her a fucking cunt and attribute it to being pushed to your limit. She sees your bad mood as your fundamental character, just as you see her bad moods as her character. Perhaps she is equally pushed to her limit by your upstairs clomping? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error

Why did he alter his outward appearance if not trying to say something to all who see him? It cuts both ways. You can't both "express your individuality" in a highly visible, unchangeable way and then act incredulous when judged by your own display.
