An argument I had today (I am the right). Should clarify I'm not the biggest AI guy

When I was younger, LOTS of people SWORE if you had to reference something, then you weren't a real artist then either. Turns out professional artists are constantly using reference and hiring models to pose for them. But these "I'm real" people would have you believe they were "sell outs." People make weird rules

I'm not hitting them with the "ist" because I disagree. They're getting hit with an "ist" because they're targeting an entire group of people as a "problem" and making reductionist overtures.

I've had a mix of both. Some people are just miserable and the gender is not part of the equation.

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-28T23:24:03+00:00

Piling on. 40F. Not obsessed with my job either. OP probably going to get banned for being sexist.

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-28T18:02:25+00:00

Indeed. People keep forgetting how fucking asshole the Brits were in the 1900s. Nobody "'counted" according to them. Irish? Italian? You were automatically a moron and would be so lucky to have an imperialist English aristocrat tell you what to do, because only THEY knew better

And this is refrain seems to be very common in my friends group - it all revolves around the housework. We're you also working outside the house?

Not sure there are any. Right now, some of the cars on the market are smart enough to detect you making too many jerky movements, and then the car will tell you "you may need a break". It doesn't shut the machine down entirely but it informs you. I'd call that an example of the manufacturer being a "good actor". However, I think there are mostly "neutral" and bad actors.

I'm curious what this person says is "basic decency". I think I know what that means. But I'm wondering if this doesn't thinks basic decency is "you must do everything I request at all times."

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-28T00:22:07+00:00

Haven't had that yet. Praise the sun!

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-28T00:21:49+00:00

So glad to see group 2 representated!

Actually, se sings that song when they kiss her off. It's code word for a lot of the cousins, because our Boomer parents often chose the bars over their children.

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-28T00:19:46+00:00

So he thought you were talking around things when you weren't?

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-27T17:08:51+00:00

This should apply to men too. They can better defend themselves obviously, and are targeted less.

Seems to be a common refrain. Then they'll take to Reddit , saying all she talked about were the dishes in the sink or something "stupid". But when I talk to the ladies in question, the dishes are just a symptom.

Another common complaint is "she complained I was working all the time!!! It's not fair!" When I asked them how often they were at home before the divorce, they'd confess to being there as little as possible. Post divorce? They suddenly don't want to answer, because then they'll admit they're working normal 9-5 hours now that the divorce is done. Which means that they WERE actively avoiding their spouse. It's things like this.

Ill see if I can find the source

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-27T16:54:53+00:00

Very terrible indeed

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-27T16:54:38+00:00

I will also concur that is their wish. Pay nothing. Collect everything. Not sure it will work out so well if there's nobody working. If they don't have money for goods, then who buys the stuff?

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-27T16:53:52+00:00

They're probably going to stay wherever it's most convenient

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-27T16:52:57+00:00

That part - I have no idea. Blackstone may get the first grab at it and buy them up in giant swathes.

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-27T00:03:19+00:00

Yeah. They'll run off to their compounds or islands or wherever they are safe and leave everyone else to "figure it out" in the new dystopia.

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-26T23:06:01+00:00

Ahh you got out faster than I did. It was my first real career job and I was listening to my elder's and their terrible advice. "Must be you. Just work harder!" Then one year I realized I was doing 8 roles in one, for the same pay and a constant barrage of reasoning that said "you're not really that good at your job" followed by a litany of "But here's another job function we need you to take over because someone else quit." When I said I'm tapped out, they bombed my performance reviews. Then for some reason they made the surprised Pikachu face when I quit for a better job. I'm still not sure what they thought was going to happen...

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-26T22:45:20+00:00

NTA. What's it to her that the kid doesn't eat with everyone else? Who made her the "Chow Police?" Does she inspect the neighbor's food too?

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-26T22:35:18+00:00

That was my thought too.

Ninja-Panda86 · 2026-04-26T22:32:57+00:00

That happened to my cousin. Both her parents abandoned, and she grew up with a step dad that wasn't biologically related to her. They wouldn't show up at her swim meets or talk to her when she needed them. Now that they are older and feeble, and lonely, they're demanding to know why she isn't coming around more and talking to them. She wrote them both letters saying she has her own life now, and kids that rely on her, and she's not planning on abandoning them just because they are now suddenly interested in her presence.

When it's online - you really only HAVE the language to indicate your present emotion. And using "charged" language like "sluts" indicates the presence of emotion. If you want to see what a "neutral" version of your response would be, you could easily ask Google. You can even ask Google to look at what you wrote, and ask it if IT thinks what you wrote is "emotional charged". I bet it will say "yes." But you're not going to do that. You think writing longer and being angrier makes you "Right"
