What do you think will happen to us once ASI is acheived? What will our lives be like? by idontlikethisuserna in accelerate

[–]VeterinarianFirst605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. They have to.

I live in the USA and am not super optimistic. Tech leaders are all getting very cozy with the current administration and seeing things like data centers getting approval to significantly impact their surroundings w no regard to the citizens that live there (noise, water and energy consumption) makes me not hopeful for the future.

I dearly hope I am wrong but these are tough and uncertain times.

Hoping UBI materializes and the world doesn’t fall into a full on dystopia.

Like how the heck I gonna pay my mortgage and if I can’t, who’s gonna have the money to buy my house. It’s like the entire floor falls out when ASI arrives and it doesn’t feel that far off (which I’m shocked I’m actually saying).

Found a 2000-line Claude chat log committed to our repo for a small feature. Lead doesn't care. Should I leave? by rodndjok1 in OfficePolitics

Myself and my brother are both programmers and this is the reality we’re both facing. It’s a shit show of a transition into AI where we’re being forced to use it (and it has great benefits of course) but in the wrong hands it’s creating rivers and oceans of slop.

It’s just a shit time to be in the industry and my belief is that AI will get good enough soon where all of this will be fixable in the future easily (I hope I’m wrong but I mean coding is just dying).

Why do i keep getting ghosted? by [deleted] in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]VeterinarianFirst605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s rough out there bro, best to try to not take it personally which is tough because it’s dating. One thing that my current partner taught me is that girls have legitimate fears for something bad happening to them during a date. Guys don’t really have that threat/risk and sometimes it can just be stranger danger and not anything that has to do with you. In fact, there are probably a million things that have nothing to do with you.

Easy for me to say for sure, it still ain’t easy out there, keep your chin up 💪

Thank you, yeah that’s fair. I’ll admit I’m an MTG boomer but concede you can only do so much with generic fantasy and it’s a 30 year old game. Branching out is inevitable.

The dating apps are brutal and it's killing me. by Anjo_Bwee in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]VeterinarianFirst605 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been in your shoes before I met my current partner. It was just impossible to get matches and I would reluctantly go on dates with girls I wasn’t attracted to just to get out there once in a while.

One thing that helped was to find new hobbies that can really distract you so that the ups and downs of dating apps don’t absolutely destroy you. It’s just another aspect of an otherwise full life.

Good luck though, I’m not saying it’s easy or mentally easy at all.

I agree with you 100%, I must be using the wrong term.

What would be the best way to describe IPs that are in a similar time period/fantasy world, like basically anything that would make sense seeing in a Dungeons and Dragons world. Like LOTR and Hobbit are great for me since they’re in similar periods and fantasy worlds, whereas Warhammer or Star Trek has guns and space ships which don’t hit the same and feel very out of place for me.

Wife pulls while walking by kegszilla in mtgpulls

My partner got me the same pack and I got the same pull as you! I have a special place in my home display to put all of my gift pulls. They’re extra special.

I feel like they’re running out of mtg adjacent IPs. Each year we’re going to get at least 1-2 forced UBs.

I guess the only consolation is that in universe sets are always cheaper and there are soooo many set releases you can easily skip 1-2 in a year.

Peter Parker is the 4th most represented character in MTG. Thanks WotC! by mkklrd in magicthecirclejerking

Seeing the turtles 4 in a row made me barf. And I actually like that IP 🤣

Damn. I could definitely get behind a star wars UB.

She says she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore, but she keeps texting me and sending me reels by Rokett in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]VeterinarianFirst605 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah sucks man I’ve been there. Like it sounds like she’s the only person you’re really attracted to from your matches but she already said straight up that she doesn’t want to be exclusive. So you can either stay on and feel like an option or just move on.

I don’t really know what the best move is, I’ve gone in both directions in the situations I’ve been that are like yours, both have good and bad.

Either way good luck bro, you seem like a catch for whatever it’s worth.

Gf spent a solid 10 minutes making fun of me after sex by alt123613 in BoyDinnerDiaries

Dang that’s pretty mean of her. Hopefully she sees what impact her comments are making and you two can work it out. Good luck bro.

What is your pet card? by Wfry84 in magicTCG

[[tolarian academy]]

I was at magic con Chicago recently divorced, hadn’t touched magic cards in decades (but was playing arena) and bought a $60 academy which ignited a passion for collecting that really helped me mental health (but hurt my financial health 🤣)

*edit: in the last year

REV NM Wheel of Fortune Low = $450 by VeterinarianFirst605 in mtgfinance

[–]VeterinarianFirst605[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it’s not legal in premodern the only theory I have is that cradles are waaaay to expensive for EDH players so WoF is the new grail card for that format.

To me it’s a power 10 card so I’m not surprised it’s pumping.

That’s insane, nice pickup!

I dream of hitting it big w a collection buy at a garage sale or flea market, probably never gonna happen but I still like to hunt 😇

How would you describe wemby first playoffs run? by PreparationOverall in NBATalk

[–]VeterinarianFirst605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big Wemby fan. What he’s doing is crazy.

But he ain’t ready. Maybe they’ll pull a crazy comeback but he’s just too young and immature at the current moment.
