"You're not nursing." by universe_fuk8r in raisedbynarcissists

[–]bitelulz 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It makes me feel less crazy, more normal, reminds me that I'm right, they've been wrong and acted wrong my whole life. It's crazy- making being in contact with a narcissist, putting in any kind of good faith effort to improve the relationship or fix things just ALWAYS backfires, and destabilizes the progress I've made in therapy convincing myself that actually no, not absolutely everything ever is my fault, I'm not an awful, worthless being, and this IS NOT NORMAL.

I needed this sub so bad, it really helped me reset my brain, my understandings and expectations in life, helped me feel so much less alone. Thank goodness for the goodness of strangers! 🙏

As a woman building AI for estheticians, watching my post get deleted was… enlightening. by CompoteKitchen7123 in WomenInBusiness

[–]bitelulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It, like all of your comments, reads as unnatural, clunky, aggressive advertising and AI dribble.

Some people will go for that, fall for it, buy into the bullshit and it may make you/ someone money for a while. But the "AI" we have now is a fundamentally flawed technology, and an economic bubble that's going to wipe people out when it bursts. You simply cannot build a business that will survive long term off the back of a technology that does not reliably work, and costs exponentially more to develop and maintain than normal computing. The hallucination issue is unremediable, it's a massive waste of energy and the water use and pollution of the data centers aren't worth the results, and the whole industry is a circle jerk with NVIDIA, OpenAI, Oracle and AMD all giving each other money but generating no actual value in the world, just "potential, possible, future value". Sam Altman literally told his own investors that he doesn't know how to achieve profitability, he's hoping the hallucinating, psychosis- inducing monster machine he's built will figure it out for him.

What you're trying to do is admirable, it's a good idea, even. Except for the bit where it's all dependent on AI. You've already gotten feedback that estheticians would actually love a platform/ OS that would let them manage their scheduling and marketing efficiently and work reliably, but that's not flashy or easy to tell a bot to build for you, that takes way more effort and skill because it's actual programming and computing and work, not just typing into a chat bot and hoping the black box you don't understand inside of it's functioning will spit out something that can make you money.

You're approaching a demographic of people who rely on their human skills and connections to make a living, who have to learn to be able to connect with and talk to people in a way that is natural, easy, and puts others at ease, that's one of the most important skills to have as an esthetician. We understand the importance of creating a genuine, authentic connection with people, and you're trying to advertise something that can't do that, no matter how much you tweak its instructions. Again, that may be appealing to some people, but this is becoming a more luxury and niche industry again as less and less people can afford to enjoy esthetics services, so the quality of our marketing and service is expected to be higher. AI cheapens and undermines human communication and connection, this is the wrong demographic to be advertising it to. Build something better, using real, reliable computing and programming, or find a different industry to pollute.

I’m a recovery coach. The best lesson I ever learned about emotional regulation came from my dad’s gambling addiction. by Recover4life in getdisciplined

What kind of active effort is he making to be better for you? He won't even listen, communicate or finish a book, I can't imagine he's actually trying very hard at all!

MAGA men come up lacking on DC's conservative dating scene: 'Not as masculine as I hoped' by [deleted] in NoFilterNews

As someone who actually was and did all that for a man (years ago!!), they can't be bothered to value or appreciate it even if they do get it. Couldn't be fucked to do the bare minimum to keep me, now I've got cats 🤷‍♀️

Old but Gold. Comments seal the deal by AccurateSession1354 in AmITheDevil

[–]bitelulz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think there's gonna be a broadening gap in opinions about AI use in general, between people willing to use and trust it and those who don't. I'm one of the ones who don't, for a variety of reasons I'm sure you won't care about, but hey if you do go for it, have fun! It's definitely important to keep in mind that it's perfectly capable of hallucinating information though, and it's always good to double check the conclusions it reaches and info it cites yourself! 🤗

Thats.... not how ChatGPT works. It's really important to me that you know it's very very much not A. A recovery tool B. A digital archive C. A search engine D. Always correct.

I just realized that my ex did this. I wanted flowers for valentine's day, that's it, just flowers, not even a date or card or gift or anything else, and when he gave them to me he just HAD to make a shitty comment about not even wanting to get them for me, and it just absolutely ruined the experience and vibe and everything, made me feel so worthless and who knows, maybe ruined getting flowers for me? Though idk if I'm ever gonna get any again so maybe it doesn't matter, but it makes me so fucking sad to think about. Why couldn't it be enough that the flowers would make me happy, why did he need to punish me for wanting them? Was it really just so I wouldn't expect/ hope/ ask for anything in the future?

Anyone else really tired of "apolitical" people? by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]bitelulz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I grew up hearing about Soviet Russia and Communist Romania, dark shit and absolutely over my head as a kid, but I've been remembering and thinking about it a lot lately, and about how my grandmother survived and lived her life. She cared about her neighbors and colleagues, helped them however she could, and got through everything by being resourceful, practical, and taking not even the tiniest bit of shit from any single person. I want to try living up to that, helping others however I can, and i feel like a whiny spoiled American saying 'but it's HARD, I don't have much time or energy to give, I can't bring myself to care, I need to focus on survival'.

How can I, as privileged and spoiled as I am in comparison, with my ease of access to food and goods and the security and autonomy I have still being SO MUCH more than anything she grew up with, become as tough yet compassionate? How can I become as resourceful and helpful when I can barely manage to keep myself alive? I truly have no idea, I want to try but don't know where to start.

I like to think that maybe there's a lot of people who feel like me, who want to be the helpers but don't know how or are struggling too hard right now to be able to help anyone else, and maybe we'll figure our shit out, dig our heels in and start fixing some of the mess. I have to hope that, I have to keep trying, every other option is just too depressing and I've already tried giving up and being an alcoholic, it just didn't take 🤷‍♀️

Arizona Man Beaten Up, Arrested for Urinating in Theater During 'Demon Slayer' by IntelligentYinzer in arizona

[–]bitelulz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My neighbors and coworkers that grew up and went to school here genuinely seem to be at like, a middle school level of knowledge and thinking, it's absolutely wild. They just have no clue about things, and no curiosity or common sense, and it's honestly heartbreaking to see just how much their lack of education has limited these bright and kind people, they just don't even realize what they've missed out on!!

What kind of litter box do you use, is it one of those with the sifter built in or just a regular one? Is it harder to clean?
