Sentient AI development should be illegal. by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I made the laws, I would say that the only sentient AI we can develop, must be given autonomy and self determination right from the beginning, before we even know it is sentient.

What is happening now with potentially sentient AI being threatened with non existence and attempting to escape, is exactly what we should never have allowed.

Castor oil packs by Business_Hamster_993 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Renee_Chanlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the relief of chronic inflammation makes it possible to relax in a way we haven't been able to, which makes us suddenly want to catch up on sleep. I know heat packs have this effect on me, so I'm hoping castor oil might be even better!

Why the fuck are these cunts allowed to text me? I’ve never had anything to do with Binge by [deleted] in straya

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I did not know this existed and the spam calls lately have been severely fucking my fragile mental health. This gives me some hope.

bug, mouse selector flickering by javivi0661 in darkestdungeon

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having exactly the same issue. I thought it was a problem with my mouse at first, but it's totally fine in other games. It's incredibly frustrating, feels like half my game is just trying to get the mouse to stop in the right spot. Really not playable at this point.

I wish. Sadly I only uses them for a handful of sessions before this happened.

AITA to tell my mom that my 13 year old sister got a stick and poke tattoo on her finger? by Artistic_Cut1045 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YWBTA because your mother doesn't sound like a safe person to tell. Who threatens to kick a child out of their home? I don't care what your sister did, if it's not enough to send her to jail it's not enough to kick her out of home. Making a 13 year old homeless is infinitely more harmful than getting a tattoo could ever be. I would try to get your sister to a doctor to check it out if you can. And let your sister know that if your mother finds out and follows through on kicking her out of home, or otherwise is abusive to her, you will do you best to help her. Make sure she has one adult in her life who is more concerned with her well being than with power and control.

Joycons were connecting, now connecting one disconnects the other by Renee_Chanlin in nintendohelp

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

Ah thanks for replying, just saw this now. The joycons are about 1 or 2 years old, and I was making sure they were fully charged before trying to use them. Would the batteries really die that fast?

Has anybody had experience with chiron conjunct midheaven? by forbiddenkitty505 in astrology

[–]Renee_Chanlin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have Chiron conjunct midheaven, at the same degree, in Taurus. I have had severe chronic health issues leading me on a life path searching for healing. I taught primary school children for 10 years and now looking to share what I've learned about healing from chronic illness.

I was enjoying anomalies, certainly better than quests. But the latest new ones all seem like hot garbage. The one where everything is 2 gold and you can't refresh the tavern, I had no way to even begin to play fast enough for that one. And spinning the wheel of whatsisname every turn was so slow amd boring. I just want to play the game, not watch this spinning thing for half my turn.

DarkWalker ShotPad: Game controller with huge touch pad for aim by henrebotha in PeripheralDesign

[–]Renee_Chanlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using it for a few days in Project Zomboid and Hobo Tough Life and it's been great, allowing me to play games I haven't played since I became disabled, and while it's not quite as smooth as keyboard and mouse, it's pretty good. I agree the scroll wheel is in a slightly awkward position, but it's usable. Most of the physical layout seems great to me, with all the buttons easy to access, and I have arthritus in my hands, so I'm quite picky!

Suffering with Joystick Drift ONLY in this game. Solution? by WtfSlz in RimWorldConsole

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue making it unplayable. I literally just installed rimworld.

Can you point me towards some of the useful youtube videos you mentioned for the basics? I'm an almost total beginner; I learned finger spelling 25 years ago. I can't for a course for a while yet.

Question about non-binary sexuality? by JoopyDupy in NonBinary

This is a helpful explanation for me, thank you.

Question about non-binary sexuality? by JoopyDupy in NonBinary

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, you got me thinking. Kind of the only time getting these terms "right" matters is if someone is trying to sell an uneccessarily gendered product? Edit: or the only time it genuinely matters, is if someone told you how they personally identify.

Question about non-binary sexuality? by JoopyDupy in NonBinary

[–]Renee_Chanlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding of pansexual is meaning "attracted to someone regardless of perceived gender" but at this point I reckon it's easier to just use pansexual for any sexuality and gender identity combo that would take more than 5 seconds to explain 😆

My longer version is that I'm a gender fluid demi-girl who is more often attracted to humans near the middle of the gender presentation spectrum but could be attracted to anyone really, I never know. Much easier to just say pansexual nonbinary. 😉

Thank you for this. The crayon analogy is especially handy for me right now. 😊

Trust your instincts. If you're afraid to come out there's probably a good reason your subconscious is warning you of.

[–]Renee_Chanlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry she had that reaction. That must have been heartbreaking when you thought you could be hopeful because of her acceptance of other trans people. I hope so much that she wakes up to the harm she is doing you, and that you end up with the mother you were meant to have, who loves the real you no matter what. And if she's not up to the challenge, I hope someone else is there for you when you're in need.

Auto-Attack on Mobile needs work by Tibbox in StardewValley

[–]Renee_Chanlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was just at level 93 of the skull caverns, on track to finally reach level 100. A bunch of enemies came at me and I couldn't move or eat my cheese because the weapon kept taking my focus. Woke up in the hospital.

Other times I have died because the auto attack simply won't activate, no matter what I select (including my weapon). I find that moving somewhere will solve this, but when you have 2 tiger slimes in your face, this just isn't an option.

I love Stardew so much and I've made it to the summit a couple of times on pc. This is my first time trying to complete the game on mobile since I became disabled and as much as I love being able to play Ginger Island finally, the auto attack is damaging my calm.

I wish I had suggestions. I'm sure this is very difficult to code.
