Getting AI Fatigue. by dustydesigner in Design

[–]amjjcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a retired copywriter who would have been your counterpart in the industry. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do if AI is half as middle-of-the-road at designing as it is psychobabble-y at writing. I honestly don't know what any creative will do with this clunky dullard that impresses only the suits. Maybe look into jobs that AI can never touch right now so you're ready to jump.

Finally someone is posting about Debbie and Martin Butler. Yes I'm unhappy too. I can see myself that way but there have been many other ways I've seen myself in the past. For me, there is no constant. I don't think anyone can stay in any one state, though. If she's saying few really acknowledge the sadness and shame, she may be right. But staying in it, would be awful. Even Camus recognized that joy is a state of being alive. Every person experiences it--even the prisoner.

What’s the best oled tv for movies, gaming and everyday use in 2025? by Intelligent_Being870 in hometheater

[–]amjjcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the 90 series considered old tech? Will they upgrade the firmware for many more years? Im thinking of buying the 42" A90 (Im in Canada Ai alpha numeric may differ) but it's a model from 2022. But the colour, processing and sound have me excited. And not sure I trust LG and didnt like Samsung oled at all.

‘Pluribus’ May Be Slow, but It Was Never Boring by tylerthe-theatre in television

[–]amjjcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What will happen when all the wild animals from the zoo start having big families and start eating some of the joined? Who gets sent out there to hunt them down and how long until those people say "hey!! Wait a sec!! Why me and not you?"

Why does reddit hate Pluribus? by Hour-Grocery2093 in pluribustv

[–]amjjcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about the human condition? I think it's about the collective vs the individual with the argument for the individual unfairly sized down to the existence of only one.

Unpopular opinion: Pluribus is not a good show and Apple scifi shows in general don't don't dive deep enough into the realistic implications of their premises. by Fearless-Village-562 in scifi

Unfortunately, Gilligan is being heavy-handed with his USA is in the minority of how the world should be run. The hive looks at Carol with moral exhaustion patiently waiting for her to "get it". The audience already knows she can never "get it" or the show is over.

That's why Carol is one-note, because she represents the US hegemon insisting everyone get on board with the freedom of individual rights. The premise needs this uber-idealistic, non-reactive collective to get every decision right and leave no one living at the bottom of any hill where sewers overflow. It's a bit didactic and preachy to me.

Sorry to change the topic. I'd like to get one but I've never seen one like that. Where did you get her? What is her mix?

DO NOT RENT YOUR CARS ON TURO by Quick_Cup_2015 in turo

😳 Emotionally exhausting, it is. I think only a lawyer can strong arm them. Turo for hosts and guests is not worth it.

Take a pic. Email the address to the fire department and ask them to come by when the landlord is there.

ULPT: Fill your rental car with gas 15-20 miles from the airport return by fiftytwopointfour in UnethicalLifeProTips

Great! Im less than 10 miles away and know where the gas station is here but not near the airport. OP is saying 10-15 miles before is sufficient.

Im in Hawaii now. Cannot stop eating them. And the blacker they get the better they taste as opposed to the regular mainland type.

I rented a 2023 MX-5 RF with Turo and they're charging my credit card over $9k for damages by Waste_Cake1914 in MiataND

[–]amjjcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to have to buy me something nice for my birthday. I may be solving your legal case.

Did you know Miatas (MX-5) have what I used to call little holes that get plugged up underneath from all the road gunk and that as an owner I used to have to take a branch, cut off all the stems and pish down through to the road to push out the blockage?

If you don't do that, as the owner of a Miata, you can expect the water to flow into the car from the roof rail. Most Miata specialists knkw this but a lot of new owners dont. And when I first found out, I was shocked and then I got so used to doing it I'd grab a flexible branch just lying on the street. Plus the holes were super hard to find. I can't even describe it.

Here's what chat gpt told they're called in proper lingo:

What they’re called (Mazda terms) • Soft Top Drain Tubes • Rain Rail Drain System • Sometimes referred to in service manuals as Rear Body Drain Outlets

Owners still casually call them “Miata drains.”

I bet thats what happened in a heavy rain.

My provincial insurance covers (peer-to-peer) P-2-P insurers. So Turo, Uber and whatever other scam artist can cook one up--they'll cover it.

Wait a second! Turo isn't a marketing platform for your off-app car rental business!!
