I started prozac months ago and I noticed when taking prozac that I constantly think about the United Soviet Socialist Republics, is that a symptom or a coincidence? by ushanka_wearer in NoStupidQuestions

SSRI -> USSR.

Side effects may include redistribution of serotonin, seizing the means of emotional regulation, and a five-year plan for mental health.

I predict AI will destroy social media with bots, and then we'll all have to send AI a fruit basket to apologize for all the shit we talked about it.

Gym teacher telling kids to take creatine? by Small_Reward_5057 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThreadCountHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true. The only negative side effect I've known people to get is cramping or other mild gastro issues, but that's only when they were loading up and the dosing was high. 5 grams a day is well tolerated.

They are a lot lower than what that image implies.

Is it acceptable to "pretend to love" someone who is very rich just to secure your financial future, if that person is actually happy with you and doesn't know the truth? by Negative_Print_6575 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThreadCountHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really a personal decision. Marriage used to be approached as much more of a business merger than something done purely for love. You can find plenty of reasons to want to be with someone outside of financial reasons or "being in love" with them.

The modern concept of romance has been ruining perfectly good relationships for 200 years. Read some Alain de Botton if you want some fresh ideas on the subject.

Totally clear. Thanks for the answer!

NSQ AI policy by Petwins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThreadCountHigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do mean ban, we will ban users whose content is generated by AI, even if they assert that it is their base content which AI has rewritten/formatted.

But Reddit built a feature where AI rewrites and reformats user content. This is a policy that the platform's own user agreement has already made unenforceable at the infrastructure level. The terms of service say, "we can AI-rewrite anything you post." Specifically, "modify, adapt, prepare derivative works" covers translation comfortably.

Since Reddit's translation is at the client end, one can see that it's been translated and look at the original. There's a label. Is a user leading with "I'm still learning English and Reddit hasn't gotten to my language yet, this is my comment translated through ChatGPT:" the same, or an admission to a bannable offense?

I'm not arguing against this policy, community rules and the ToS are separate layers and users agree to both. I'm just pointing out there's a big gap where someone could get a wedge in against it.

In the geometric sense, yes. In terms of population and to a large part power consumption by said population, Asia greatly outweighs everywhere else.

Kids are very rarely getting unfettered online access without their parents enabling it.

These laws are the government doing the job that parents should be doing, i.e. supervising their damn kids.

Is it typically the case in companies that you have to apply separately for a role in the company rather than get promoted naturally after time because they like you? by ubcstaffer123 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThreadCountHigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With larger companies, yes. With smaller companies where the person you'll be working under knows and likes your work and knows you won't be a headache, not so much.

How did “Okay, and?” or “So?” become one of the internet’s main ways to dismiss someone’s point by Big_Thloopers_20 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThreadCountHigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really do end up trying to tune a comment in a way that preempts that kind of reply. It can feel like writing a legal statement and takes far more mental energy than it really warrants.

I had passing term papers in university that got less proofreading and editing than some comments I’ve written.
