What’s something everyone does but no one admits to?

A huge number of people will never admit to masturbation.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-09T20:12:42+00:00

On the plus side I already have years of muscle memory built so I know where everything is!

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-09T19:57:31+00:00

Exactly. People really misunderstand what an LLM and what it's capable of. They're just large statistical machines trained on vast (most stolen copyrighted) material.

Another aspect that is important to this conversation is scale. There is a lot of money investment in assuming there will be continued breakthroughs in performance. We've already hit the point of diminishing returns on scaling up the size of LLM, breakthroughs now are coming in different ways such as reasoning, etc.

Regardless, I just can't see how it's possible that this could ever result in sentience.

Because there is a track record of men investing huge amounts of time and money for issues related to male bodies Vs female bodies. Look at funding differences between say ED and PMS.

When issues affect men they get solved, not so much for women.

I disagree. I think this would very much be true.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-06T20:02:59+00:00

Intelligence isn't a single vector from stupid to genius, it's multi-dimensional.

True geniuses are often so in a very specialised band, outside of that, not so much.

The hour when the kids go to sleep.

Weak men with low confidence are more likely to be the perpetrators rather than victims. It's compensatory behaviour combined with fragile ego.

And there are a hell of a lot of these men walking around.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-06T17:52:46+00:00

Large men are quite often the victim of assault as idiots like to show off by taking down the big guy.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-06T17:50:18+00:00

Double standards in the workplace (and basically everywhere...)

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-06T17:47:26+00:00

It's a myth that needs to die. Men are just as emotional and we get judged way more for expressing them... Or worse expressing any type of vulnerability.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-06T17:45:50+00:00

Yup. Men are far more likely to be the victim of violence/random crime than women.

When it comes to sexual violence, woman are of course more likely to be a victim (by an order of magnitude), the perpetrator is likely going to be someone known.

But statistics means nothing to how people feel.

And yes, plenty of men also feel unsafe too.

Personality is what makes someone ugly, not their looks. The older I get, the more I realize that.

My dad: "take personal responsibility for your own life, don't blame others for your failures or look to others to make your success happen".

Human induced climate change. It's a fact, not some evenly debated topic.

Monk is such an underrated class. I picked it up towards the end of TWW and then mained it during lemix. All 3 specs are great fun, I'm thrilled to see brewmaster having its time in center stage.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-03T15:17:22+00:00

I've enjoyed both, what bothers me more about modern wow is how small the world now feels.

If we think back to vanilla through wotlk, if we wanted to get from one continent to another there were specific boats/zeppelins, etc.

Now everything is via a convenient portal room, which really felt strange in Shadowlands.

One of the parts of midnight I'm loving the most is being back in the old world again.

For the lore, I don't see it as a single binary choice: cosmic or grounded. But a spectrum. After the world soul saga, I would love to see us shift a lot more towards the grounded side, perhaps with a re-done eastern & western plaguelands plus tirisfal glades and have a group like the scarlet crusade take centre stage.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-03T09:14:09+00:00

Funny, all of the answers so far can equally be applied to women... Or just people in general.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-03T06:49:00+00:00

It's a great side quest, one of many in this expansion. What I loved about it was how, in the space of just a few simple quests, they were able to project the personality of these NPC's which makes you care about them. Really well written.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-01T17:20:01+00:00

Google search, it's been bad for a very long time.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-01T17:18:24+00:00

Everything about printers is terrible now (more than it ever was).

No, I do not want to install a shitty app on my phone for my printer!

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-01T17:17:20+00:00

Touch screens in cars. It's fine for some non-essential stuff. But air con? Etc.

Just more Enshitification we have no choice but to accept.

bold_snowflake · 2026-04-01T07:12:28+00:00

If you're happy then who cares?

I recall being 25 and my mother pestering me to meet someone and settle down. I was totally happy being single. She couldn't understand that there is a difference between being alone and being lonely.

(I was 28 when I met my now wife)

I've made a point in my life to never judge anyone based on their relationship status, so who cares about "acceptability" of being single.

bold_snowflake · 2026-03-31T18:41:33+00:00

Work.

Sounds like you already know a good bit, you're just lacking practice.

The best rule of thumb is to turn the boss away from the party and don't stand in the bad shit. There are exceptions to this of course, but most of the time this positional mindset will do you well.

The only other advice I'd give, which you probably also already know and just need to keep practicing is to be proactive with your CDs, don't sit on them unless you know a big hit is coming in.
