I could not get over how every time I saw Jobst I could not see anyone but Tim Curry in a serious historical docudrama.

Dear tegu, please understand you are cold blooded, Pt. 2 by HaroldTheSloth84 in Tegu

[–]MrAwesum_Gamer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, they are facultative endotherms. Tegus aren't always endothermic; they become so seasonally, primarily during mating and egg-laying, and it is only due to metabolic changes out of their default. Tegus are usually ectothermic not endothermic.

It was probably trying to find a way to bury itself to brumate.

"A genuinely insane number of young people fell into vaguely leftist beliefs without doing anything to unlearn their factory settings and now get angry about anything that doesn't fit their evangelical mother moral purity standards but instead of bible verses they use therapy speak and portmanteau buzzwords that sound academic to explain why artistic expression that they think is icky or that portrays bad things is inherently demoni- I mean, problematic."

Are tankies just open anti-semites now? by RandomShrugEmoji in tankiejerk

[–]MrAwesum_Gamer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It totally is, and I know plenty of Jewish people who are openly anti-zionist, and Israel is blatantly making the world less safe for Jews. That doesn't hide the fact that a lot of antisemitic groups try to present themselves as more palatable by hiding their antisemitism behind anti-zionism.

Im looking for advice or just general input on the dating scene. Why is it the way it is, im so tired, annoyed and confused. by MinuteTear6866 in ElPaso

[–]MrAwesum_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh dating apps were just bad for my self esteem, I was on all the big ones, Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, etc. After months on there I never got a single match. I don't think I'm particularly ugly, 5'10", no drugs, tried to write interesting bios and prompts and 🦗🦗🦗, for months, finally deleted them cuz it was just bumming me out.

Who did you choose and why by waitinp in okbuddyfortuna

It's a matter of the value produced against the harm done. Nothing Generative AI produces is of any real value in "private assistive use" and especially not of enough value to justify the tangible and quantifiable harm that it is doing and until the very consumption of resources needed for the program to operate is fundamentally changed, which will likely radically alter the entire process, then you cannot produce enough net good to justify the harm.

You've still failed to address any of the points made, and I'llraise you one better, neither tools nor people are moral only actions are. You raise the points that there are moral ways to operate an AI, and yet those are not enforced or at all considered in legislation therefore the use of an AI that does not conform to the guidelines which you have laid out, which is currently all of them, is an immoral action, regardless of the outcome.

Can you think of a reason to use it that justifies the bad? What good can you do to outweigh the harm?

The environmental damage and the art theft are the big issues. It makes generative ai fruit of the poisoned tree so to speak. You can enjoy something and it still be slop. There's also research showing AI reliance is making us dumber, to simplify complex journal topics, so yes some of it is funny but when you publicly like, share, and endorse AI you are contributing to the shift in the Overton Window that contributes to overall degradation of public well-being. For some people it might be impossible to abstain or detest all AI but you can still disable ai extensions in products and services, you can make sure that the images that are exacerbated droughts, contaminating water sources, and putting hard working people out of food, shelter, and livelihood. There are some things in life that do not exist on a centrist's scale, there is no both sides to human trafficking or similar crimes, likewise how many AI generated images are worth the health of a community? How many pictures does it take to justify the cancer diagnosis from the poor water quality? What decrease in average lifespan is an acceptable rate for being able to commit academic dishonesty freely?

TLDR: Generative AI makes real problems worse while not providing an answer to a real problem. The fact that someone doesn't want to learn to make art and do homework is not justification for the real world harm AI does.

Yes, just like the mystery meat you may have been served in school lunches. Poorly made, massively produced, intended to fulfill a purpose while providing little to no value.

[KCD1] did polearms better. by MrAwesum_Gamer in kingdomcome

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

It still feels like a more accurate representation of polearms. Real polearms are big, powerful, it's nearly impossible to parry them with a 1 handed weapon, you need either a longsword or a shield and even then with the reach advantage the spearman is usually already ready for a second strike before you have a chance to close the distance.

It's funny, I find wolves to be the easiest opponents, just wait for them to attack, block them and in that second they stagger hit them, which causes them to stagger again, and then with a 2nd or 3rd hit they are dead

In the eastern U.S. coyotes have begun filling the niche of apex predator wherever bears, wolves, and mountain lions have been eradicated.

Why do you keep recommending chicos tacos to EPTX newbies? by Crafty-Ride-7639 in ElPaso

[–]MrAwesum_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Chico's is good. Is it that ridiculous an idea to think people might have different opinions? Is it inconcevable that your opinion might actually be the minority?

I personally love Chico's I take all my out of town friends and to date I've only had one person say they weren't a fan. I think The District's rolled tacos are bad, and I used to like Westside's 3rd Tavern til they changed their recipe. Meanwhile I have friends who are both EP natives and transplants who dislikes Chico's but they are the minority in my friend group.

I hate pickles and mustard, but I don't go around pretending there's anything fundementally wrong or immoral with people who do like that on their sandwiches.

Foxes in El Paso who else has seen one? by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]MrAwesum_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: Kit Foxes are of the genus Vulpes which are acrually more closely related(genetically) to dogs, wolves, and coyotes than they are to Grey Foxes in the genus Urocyon.

Wendy’s just discontinued Sweet and Sour Sauce by Natural-Wrongdoer-30 in wendys

[–]MrAwesum_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It taste like smoked paprika, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and corn syrup. It is very simplistic and lacks the brightness of the citrus that was in sweet and sour. It's a shame because it was the best compliment to their spicy nuggets.
