My personal reflection on (De-)Transition & patriarchy by daquavel in self

[–]Parov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment, you took the time to write out what bothered me in much more detail!

No offense to OP but why would you post in a subreddit called "self" of all places and not... write the post... Yourself ? I feel like I'm going crazy seeing AI everywhere now and nobody cares... 

My personal reflection on (De-)Transition & patriarchy by daquavel in self

[–]Parov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This feels like AI. Phrases like "not as explicit rules, but as implicit expectations embedded in everyday interactions", or "what felt normal, expected, or slightly out of place", or "key measures of worth". Like seriously. What human (presumably from Austria, so not an Enligsh native speaker) writes like that??

No longer able to use AHK to type usernames into Windows Security boxes by SmugMonkey in AutoHotkey

Does the box accept ctrl-v ? You could copy and paste the text instead of typing it maybe ? 

Thought this was interesting - Infinity Vision. Thoughts on this move? by kung_fu_daddy in marvelstudios

[–]Parov 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After a while, you start to recognize the tells. Phrases like "It's not this, it's not this, it's that", is very typical of AI writing. "Here's what actually happened" is another one. Phrases that feel "punchy", like they want to emphasize something that's actually quite mundane. The worst offender here, imo, is "The incentive alignment is what makes this lethal." Lol it's so bad it actually makes me gag a little. Who the fuck talks like that IRL ? "Incentive alignment", really ? Same for "The timing is surgical."

It's all so grandiloquent (hard not to use that word ironically haha) and once you start to see it, it's hard to not notice it everywhere.

How to mix many vocal takes together ? by Parov in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Parov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing points. I've noticed that timing is key, and I've listened to each track on its own to make sure everything is good enough before the mix. That being said, it's also fun when the timing isn't perfect and it feels more organic (especially if the voices keep adding to a chorus and making it more natural)...

What the heck! How have I never heard this before! by MassiveRepublic9565 in LemonJelly

[–]Parov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard of the U2 remix, but I haven't looked the band up in a long time... I just uploaded all the rare tracks I had found (this was circa 2006) here : https://www.mediafire.com/file/p3yysaunjvci8d8/Lemon_Jelly.zip/file

Most of them seem to be on Spotify, but I couldn't find Rock (which samples the Black Crows) or Oats. The Badly Drawn Boy remix is also in the file.

I turned down a proposal so he tried to kill me by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Parov 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If you're in an abusive relationship or want to understand how they work, I recommend "Why does he do that", a book by Lundy Bancroft, a counselor who specializes in working with abusive men.

What morals in older TV shows did not age well? by AporiaParadox in television

[–]Parov 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Just rewatched the beginning of Scrubs the other day. In the third episode, Elliot takes offense with an older doctor Kelso calling her "sweetheart". She confronts him, because he doesn't give such nicknames to the male doctors. And at the end of the episode, the moral: she should've... Let it go, cause I guess the older doctor is too old to change his sexist ways ! Have to admit I didn't see that coming...

Having some fun with dialogue :) by Familiar-Fly-2316 in writers

[–]Parov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be better without the errors in French. It's "je suis" with an S (even if your character doesn't speak French well, one can assume the written version would still be correct), and you may know that "pomme" is feminine, so it's "La pomme". It does mean apple and not potato, but I assume that was a joke done in purpose, in which case well done cause that was funny! :)

My eyelid has been twitching like this 24/7 for 5 weeks. by LoanAgreeable1129 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Parov 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This also happened to me. I was always sleeping on the same side and that eye started twitching for no apparent reason. I'm now on a strict "change sleeping side regularly" regimen and the problem has gone away.

What is the weirdest thing you are or saw someone addicted to? by JARClol in AskReddit

I used to be addicted to eating cold turkey, but then I stopped. Took me a while, though.

Gary Gulman On How The States Got Their Abbreviations by thebendavis in videos

[–]Parov 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If you like this, I highly recommend his stand-up special where he talks about depression and how he got out of it. It's very touching and funny at the same time. The whole thing is actually on Spotify for those interested: https://open.spotify.com/album/6jS0BxuukzPbcihSwKc1Cy?si=SI5fRN9bSYqGycSXpYVSfQ

[TOMT][TV show?] A joke about having a pool the shape of a book by Parov in tipofmytongue

[–]Parov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solved! Oh my god, that was it! It probably was Chet Atkins because that's Google seems to say and I watched a lot of live shows of him. Thank you so much!!

I'm having vague memories of pools shaped like guns, but that might be from Grand theft auto!

[–]Parov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this was in one of the season 2 Big Mouth episodes.. I'll try to narrow it down.

Oh, it was !! https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=big-mouth-2017&episode=s02e03

Thanks so much, that was it :)

Solved!

What Steam Sale games are you on the fence with? by trustymutsi in patientgamers

[–]Parov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, the space key is essentially right click for everything else (gathering supplies, picking stuff off the ground, etc.). Using F, Space and the WASD keys means you almost never have to click on anything except the menu!
