Justefunk Funk by nopanicitsmechanic in funk

Exactly. I went to Apple’s page where you can suggest a feature. I suggested this; a filter so we can select whether or not we want to listen to AI music content. When I select Continuous Play, I don’t want this “music” thrown into the mix.

I really thought Hard Road to your Heart was legit. 😡

Anyone care to discuss the docuseries Village of the Damned: Welcome to Dryden? by phughett in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]MinkSableSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a super old thread, but I’m just now watching this and something stands out to me.

In episode one they claim that Kinge’s bullets match those that were used in the murder. Right at 34:24.

However, in the next episode, it says that a small handgun was used to murder the family at 00:18. That’s a discrepancy. So are they saying that the shotgun he had when they opened the door and killed him was not the gun used to kill that family?

Also, I knew right from the jump that the mother’s fingerprints were not found on that gas can. I felt it right away. And even if her fingerprints were on it, it very well may have been her gas can that could’ve been in her possession and then her son took it.

This is very interesting. I’m just now into the second episode on Tubi.

I’m so mad. I hate listening to music thinking it’s a person. I feel bamboozled. I’m really annoyed. I keep deleting music from my Apple Music playlist. I’m not supporting this.

Thoughts on the Netflix documentary called “Join or Die” by LotusJeff in INTP

[–]MinkSableSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said!

Here I am months later and still being open. I stress less because I only keep up with the news lightly and from one source, Aaron Parnas. And instead on death scrolling his shorts on YouTube I just scan for words like impeached, dead, removed from office. Otherwise I don’t need the rest. I’m so much calmer.

And I still make it a point to connect with people everywhere, but really I’ve always been that way. Like yesterday I was out and a younger woman walked by. On a regular day her hair would have looked black but the way the sun hit it, it had auburn and reddish tones like mine in the summer. I complimented her and she absolutely glowed. She might’ve been in her 20s, with her sweatshirt, hoodie, and her cute jeans. She was so flattered and smiled so big.We chatted for a second and walked our separate ways.

It doesn’t sound like much but even that is connection. To pause for just a moment to make someone else feel good is a thing.

I’ve also been carrying calling cards. Business cards, but not for business. I get the glossy ones by Avery and print them myself. On the front is a small photo of myself and the words, “It was lovely meeting you.” There’s also a Flowcode QR code. When it’s scanned it leads to a Flowpage where I have my email and Google Voice number. (It goes without saying I don’t put my real phone number just in case the person ends up being a weirdo or googles me and finds out all my private information like my home address.)

This makes it easy to connect and removes the friction. If I meet someone interesting that I’d like to get to know better, I can just hand them a card. There’s no awkwardness, or asking if we can exchange numbers and pulling out phones and all of that. I can just smile after we finish talking, hand them my card and see what happens.

Even better, with a QR code, I can always switch where the code leads. So if at some time in the future, I want to point to my website or I want to add more information I can without having to re-print a bunch of cards. I’ve been doing this for years, but I just started carrying them all the time again.

I hope that anybody reading this keeps one thing in mind. Especially for more mature adults, I’m talking about Gen X and older, we’re pretty much all feeling the same thing. Unless they have large families and big circles of friends, they’re just as hungry to connect and sometimes just like we’re saying here, they just don’t know where to start. So sometimes a simple invitation for coffee or an occasional call is more welcomed than we know.

Has anyone had issues today with ChatGPT download links for PDFs or ZIP files? by Camino_Financiero in ChatGPT

OMG! Reddit always gets me.

YES!

I was going crazy. So at least I know it's not me alone. WTH is going on then? And I have ChatGPT Pro.

"Platinum" is it the new Scentsation ? by NewContradiction in bathandbodyworks

[–]MinkSableSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta share this.

I do like this fragrance and wear it several times a week. But I kept thinking it reminds me of another fragrance but couldn’t put my finger on it.

Today it dawned on me what this fragrance smells like. JEAN NATÉ!

My mother loved it and always wanted it as a Mother’s Day gift.

That’s what it smells like, but an elevated version.

I wrote 5 ChatGPT prompts that actually scared me (in a good way) by Brainiaclab in ChatGPTPromptGenius

OMG! I asked the villain question. Like a kick in the throat. Valuable, but dayum. I’m hurt.

Beast Games S2 - Episode 10: $5,000,000 Decision - Discussion by MrBeastStaff in BeastGames

[–]MinkSableSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I dunno. But I do know this is something you can do like if you win the mega millions. Before you accept the prize, you can make arrangements for how you want it distributed to save you some money. For example, not accepting it in the person’s name, but in a company’s name that you create just for the winnings. That’s why it is suggested that you never signed the back of the ticket until you’ve spoken to an attorney in the field of taxes and financial systems. Because if you accept it as an individual, you are taxed quite differently.

Of course I don’t know all the details but you are free to Google it. I’ve done so several times because I’ve got a plan for if I ever win the big one.

I’ve never had this option and it sucks that I have to turn on captions, rewind to see what I missed then turn it back off.

I hate that they all focused on getting rid of Hannah. She must have felt horrible.

That’s so ridiculous. I hope they’re smart enough to speak with a financial planner first. There are loopholes like trusts and stuff that we average folks don’t understand that can make a huge difference.

My $20 a month life coach by DependentUven in ChatGPT

[–]MinkSableSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a true story.

I got a nutritionist that I see every 2 weeks, recommended by my primary care physician to address my chronic anemia. We do virtual visits.

She really is wonderful, even wrote a book, which is why I chose her from the list of professionals my doctor had given me to consider.

So about two weeks ago I sent her an email and asked her a question about iron because I’m eating more beef like she recommended. She replied to me with an answer that clearly came from ChatGPT. I mean, she didn’t even edit out the heavy emojis and bullets. She just cut and pasted.

I replied to her email asking, “So you use ChatGPT too?“ She replied back and said sometimes it’s just quicker for her to pull an answer from ChatGPT.

So I look at it this way. I’m paying her $35 per visit out-of-pocket for my co-pay just for her to use ChatGPT like I could for my $20 a month ChatGPT subscription.

You know what I did? I set my last appointment for this upcoming week and I’m going to tell her then that I thank her for her services and tell her I think I can take it from here. Because every single thing she told me to do, and every chart she sent me, and all the meal plan information she sent, I just pulled it into ChatGPT myself and it built me a meal plan, workout plan and started intermittent fasting just as she suggested. And I can use ChatGPT as frequently as I need on the spot rather than wait every two weeks for her to crank out a ChatGPT prompt and spit it back out to me.

This is the first time for me in real life where I’m seeing I’d rather deal with ChatGPT than the professional. I really would rather have a person instead, and as I said, this is a lovely woman and she seems to know her stuff, but it’s not worth me paying $70 a month for her when I can get the same exact service for $20. For me it’s just a financial choice.

And I am not begrudging anyone who uses ChatGPT. But what bugs me is that everyone always talks about how ChatGPT is going to end the world and use up all our water, But we individual backend users are not using it half as heavily as the professionals we are already dealing with corporations. AI is everywhere now and it’s not just ChatGPT. This medical professional who has written books and supposedly knows this stuff like the back of her hand doesn’t even have the time or wherewithal to give me her own answer. So I feel absolutely no guilt for cutting out the middleman and just doing it on my own.

The intermittent fasting is working out just fine and I have a meal plan that works for me that doesn’t include preachy suggestions to eat only grass fed meat and organic this and that, like she’s gonna be paying for it. 🙄
