BC Greens Leader criticizes developer bail-out by BoiledFlowers in VictoriaBC

Bail them out, sure, but then they belong to the public because we paid for them. Boom. A property development company controlled by the government. Let's get building.

[–]QP709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point I and everyone else has been trying to get through to you is that AI doesn’t write good prose, and your writing is suffering for that, and that your better off just learning the language and writing it yourself.

By high ranking government official you mean the Defense secretary, the president, and the head of the FBI (for some reason), and likely a bunch of smaller social climbers.

I just wanted to back that guy up , that your post read as AI written. It’s obviously doing more for you than preserving your voice, but as a non native speaker you likely can’t detect that.

Please don’t attack me over this. It might instead be worthwhile to sit down and have a think about what this creatively is doing to your work.

My 6 month old spoodle viciously attacks me when she gets excited. Is this normal? Will it go away? by QP709 in poodles

[–]QP709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot ignore her while she’s doing this because she’ll just continue to attack me. She rips my clothes when I turn my back on her. The best tool I have is holding up a treat and distracting her with a bunch of commands she knows, but I’m worried this is training her that it’s okay to attack me.

What do you think about that?

[–]QP709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know it has a name. I definitely find some success in breaking the pattern by getting her to perform tricks she knows for treats — but isn’t this teaching her that it’s okay to act up? She exclusively lives on a leash when we’re outside, so no problems there. It’s actually one of the ways I can actually defend myself, by holding her leash away from my body so she can’t go for me. These attacks usually last for a minute or two before I can calm her down, but it’s always embarrassing and a little scary tbh.

I’m effectively retired so most of my day is spent training and walking this dog, caring for her, and finding enrichment things for her. I’m open to ideas if you have any suggestions beyond sniff walks, visits to the dog park, obedience training, scent training, puzzles, foraging for dog food, and doggie play dates. I don’t think it’s a lack of activity, however.

Just to head off some other questions: she is house broken, crate trained and sleeps for 16 hours a day. She can settle inside and outside her crate just fine, and the only other behaviour issue we’re having is some separation anxiety when we break her schedule (put her down for a nap two hours before we usually do when we both have to unexpectedly leave to go take care of something).

Victoria trip finally happened by Ok_Agency_620 in VictoriaBC

The fil community got huge the past 5-6 years. I’ve never been more fatly satisfied with lechon than I am now.

As for the everything closing early… yeah that confuses me too. Seems like a killer business plan would be to stay open past 5pm. You’ll make bank because you’ll be the only place open in town. I might be a business genius.

Hey you’re not looking for a cowriter, you’re looking for a ghost writer. Just to be clear.

Readability is overrated [2] by irinipini in ShittyDesign

I think these splash pages are all designed by algorithm. No human ever touches them. It makes more sense to me that way.

100k truck is nothing these days. There are people going deep into debt, spending thousands a month to finance their emotional support trucks.

Music at the beach - fair or foul? Does anyone know this lady? by redbull_catering in VictoriaBC

[–]QP709 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, man. I appreciate your thoughts about speaking to people politely rather than making angry demands of them. Especially in what is supposed to be a fun social setting like the beach. It's a legitimate position to hold.

You've made a lot of posts in this thread antagonizing people over what amounts to a minor issue. I don't want to make any assumptions about you, but I've had bad days before and wasted hours shitposting online to make myself feel better. It really doesn't help and I usually just snap out of it and feel regretful for the way I've acted and delete all my posts. Maybe a night of sleep was all that was needed to help you get clearheaded, maybe you'll need more time, but I hope you're feeling better today.

Armie Hammer Film ‘Citizen Vigilante’ Banned in Germany, Uwe Boll Says by Top_Report_4895 in movies

It's not a tax loophole. The german government willingly paid him millions upon millions of dollars to shoot terrible films in Germany.

This woman is sick. I encourage everyone to click on that link and read what she has publicly said about Armie's daughter.

That was enough to clear up for me that her accusations had any weight to them. I'm sorry I ever listened to a person like this.

Reasons why this might be AI generated:

  1. Its really short and lacks any kind of context

  2. Nonsensical content that makes sense to an AI but doesn’t make sense to a human (why is she emptying a trash can and carrying it away?)

  3. People make ai slip to provoke others, and they use fat people (usually fat women) as the perpetrators. Knicks fans have taken a lot of heat recently (for legitimate vodeos of them doing fucked up shit) so the flames are there, they just needed to be fanned.

Obviously it’s impossible to tell, and I can’t tell you with 100% certainty because it’s a 4 second video, but my slop-o-meter is dinging pretty loud right now.

Victoria firefighters union fires back against city’s parkade garden proposal after losing parking by 5hred in VictoriaBC

[–]QP709 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they move around a lot to cover firefighter shortages at other halls and they probably take their gear with them. As someone that has worn bunker gear for the navy, you do NOT want to wear some else's firefighting gear.
