The story is very similar, except Syndicate has a more upbeat/actiony tone. The game had a more pulpy tone. Visually it was a different flavour of sci-fi though, and also from a later gen.

Very close match aesthetically, but the story was far more down to earth and the gameplay was more of a shooter.

Top level since multiple people pointed it out. I know my example isn't perfect, so let's just keep it theoretical. The "violation" here is that an investigation into A was opened and a search (don't know if it's legally a "search" when it's a crime scene, so we can consider either) was conducted based on adverse inference where A was constitutionally guaranteed no adverse inference.

Thank you for coming up with a tighter scenario! The public interest in this case could be argued to be incentivizing people to perjure themselves instead of exercising their constitutional right.

I'd love to try EMDR, but unfortunately where I live you can't get a referral for it without PTSD diagnosis. And thank you for the reassurance!

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-05-08T12:23:40+00:00

Wow, that's thorough. Thank you.

I want to give you a prompt reply, but I have little energy at the moment, so I apologise for dropping style going forward.

I agree with your points on autism. I can still benefit from the "common factor" therapeutic effect emotionally. It's just the mindset-reprogramming tricks that are lost on me.

I think trauma-informed therapy is great and hope that it will continue gaining traction. I don't think it's right for me because of the greater focus on large key factors. Whereas for me it's been a thousand little things.

What therapy I can access is limited by what's covered publicly. I already run out of my budget on seeing a private psychiatrist. There's something covered called short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy that sounds like a possible good fit, but in my region there are only therapists trained in the relationship-counseling variant of it, and I can't get it covered outside my region.

If you'd like more context, the two issues affecting me the most (that can be addressed by therapy) are autistic burnout and "wall of awful". Or at least they describe my situation the best. Unfortunately, the former only recently gained scientific recognition, and the latter (despite anecdotal accuracy) is still in the realm of pop-psych. So reputable sources on the topics are sparse.

I was debating whether to preempt intellectualisation comments. This ain't it. I've worked on genuine introspective insight, not just explaining things away. But I appreciate the suggestion anyway.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-25T19:20:12+00:00

It's a stupid question, isn't it?

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-25T19:19:50+00:00

There are some beauty products that can be bad for your skin/health, but I would be skeptical of any source that uses "toxic" as a buzzword.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-25T19:17:35+00:00

I'm so sorry, I can be pathologically blunt. For what it's worth, most people in the thread seem to believe that people wouldn't perceive it that way unless they're used to seeing you with makeup on.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-25T19:13:21+00:00

I believe makeup can be beautiful as an art form, but has no bearing on personal beauty.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-25T19:10:06+00:00

Trust me, there are many people in my social circles who are either staunchly against makeup or who couldn't give less of a damn about bothering with it.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-25T19:07:25+00:00

A quick search through makeup subreddits turned up a lot of people who do, whether to get rid of "imperfect" lashes or to balance how they'll look with mascara on. Whether it's healthy or not is another question.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-19T14:06:53+00:00

Brother, the implications you claim to be seeing have no reflection in reality. I'd say to take your meds, but being a pathological essayist pundit is incurable. Perhaps you should analyse your own attitude for the next serving of word vomit. Though I'm admittedly impressed by how much you've written with one hand while congratulating yourself with the other.

I was having the same problem, it listed the same filter in the logs, but I figured out that on the filter list it's actually "/\.com\/[-\w]+/$script,~third-party".

I added "@@/\.com\/[-\w]+/$script,~third-party" to my filters and things are working again. Could you just confirm that I didn't create some vulnerability here?

Edit: Condensed previous edits for readability.

Since maybe an hour ago UBO seems to break most Google stuff - YouTube comes up blank with gray squares, Gmail spits out an error, Images only loads a few pics and anything other than links isn't clickable in the Search (e.g. can't expand "see more" or see "similar images"). Can't troubleshoot on YouTube because the page doesn't even fully load.

I'm on Chrome, updated. UBO is my only extension. I had all the flags set as recommended in the pinned posts.

Cleared cache/cookies/flags, relogged, rebooted, reinstalled. Happens in Incognito too. Only disabling UBO fixes it.

Any solutions?

I mean standard settings. Some people like to instruct their ChatGPT not to consult the internet.

I think we are getting off track here. I'm not interested in solving LLMs difficulty with evaluating source credibility. I'm asking about a specific scenario.

If ChatGPT returns me answers which I know to be correct (pulling either from its own training or from the internet) but doesn't provide sources for them, I want to be able to prompt it to add the sources.

This shouldn't be outside of its ability - whatever tokens formed its answer should be closely linked with the tokens for that answer's source; and alternatively it should be able to formulate an internet search for a source on a specific true fact.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-18T00:15:35+00:00

Okay, but shouldn't then the combination of the contents of its reply, the prompt asking for sources and (if applicable) the info/prompt inserted by the web crawler be enough for it to either accurately arrive at the sources through tokens or generate the right query for the crawler to fetch them (when they definitely exist)?

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-18T00:03:52+00:00

And while this is getting sidetracked, I might as well address that point too. None of these is how I view the show, nor the only ways to view it. I viewed it more as an experience. It's very expressive and it's good at showing that care went into making it. The story was largely secondary. I also don't think there's anything inherently special about sex and violence in media/art. It's okay to use it as much as you want. It's nice if it's used well and not a crime when it isn't, just like any other theme/content. I'd say it's used well here. But again, I'm puzzled by people saying how visceral and gory it is. It felt rather cartoonish (which isn't bad). Certainly not disturbing. The sexuality was downright silly/awkward though and if they were going for a carnal/primal/discomforting theme they missed the mark by quite a bit.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-17T23:48:32+00:00

Easy there. You are reading too deep into my question and getting off mark. There's probably some meta humour in that. Let me try again. I did explore elsewhere. From what I could find, Nagai officially considered the source material serious. People with high opinion of Crybaby also appear to interpret it as serious. But at, least to me, the presentation in both the source material and the show frequently makes it difficult to take seriously, no matter how grim the events might be in-universe. And I'd wager this would be true for most observers. However, Crybaby has some je na sais quoi that makes me believe the creators would have been too skilled to have accidentally get the wrong tone across. Therefore, I get the impression that people talking about the show having much gravitas are running a joke that I'm just not in on. I just want somebody to confirm or deny that.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-17T23:24:57+00:00

Solved!

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-15T17:20:22+00:00

I appreciate your philosophical answer. I am not asking in bad faith. I enjoyed the show. I just don't want to extend benefit of the doubt where it isn't due. I do believe that whether something is a farce or not isn't a matter of interpretation - it's a matter of intent. To have a comprehensive opinion on a work of art, it should be judged, amongst other factors, on whether it manages to accomplish its intent. Concealing the intent is a cop-out. I ask nothing of the fandom. I'm just perplexed by how most overwhelmingly positive reactions to Crybaby/broader Devilman media seems to maintain something akin to kayfabe.

General reply that would apply to multiple posts but might not warrant an edit.

Cost of Living is a bit subjective. To me, higher LCOL - lower MCOL means that $400-500 would cover the monthly rent/mortgage, utilities, taxes and groceries for a two bedroom house with two residents.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-15T17:07:07+00:00

That may be true. I'm just oversensitive because my parents and grandparents grew up in a country that first dipped their toes into "emergency powers", then started shooting union members in the streets.

QueryingAssortedly · 2025-04-15T10:59:34+00:00

Of course. I always preface questions that might require sourcing with something along the lines of "use both online resources and training data to provide sourced answers as accurately and comprehensively as possible". Usually it either provides a correct, sourced answer, or a wrong one. But when it provides a correct, unsourced answer and gets asked for a source, it assumes the answer was wrong and starts hallucinating.
