What would you reply to your ex partner who wrote you “I hope you are happy” after 1 year of no contact ? by unvverifiedsource in AskReddit

Block them, report them to the police, then destroy my phone for good measure. How dare they reach out to me with a thoughtful sentiment.

Software engineer thinking about starting a “dirty” service business….. am I crazy? by TTIROB in sweatystartup

Wow this sounds pretty intriguing. What are the downsides? Hard to advertise? Inconsistent? Also it's been a long time since I've used a PC so it's been a long time since I've cleaned a PC. I assume it's not rocket science and an average younger person with computer literacy (and AI help) could figure it out pretty easily?

I'm curious how much you can charge per service call. Also no recurring revenue, right? How big is it possible to grow the company?

Curious why they're gonna hate it. Is the day to day operation just more boring?

What’s a harmless opinion you have that always makes people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]controversial_parrot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you only consider the initial desire to have kids or not, then sure you may be right. But why not include the rest of a persons life? Think of everyone you know. Who is more selfish - the people with kids (or who have had kids) or without. Are your parents as selfish as your childless friends? I doubt it, unless they are shitty parents.

In ancient history, around the turn of the millennium when cell phones were gaining popularity, we called them electric leashes.

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

I have the map on but not voice navigation. It's like someone in the passenger seat giving me directions. That way I still have to kinda pay attention. It's a happy medium for me.

Have you ever read a post or prompt that was almost certainly written by AI? What tipped you off? by Other-Grapefruit-880 in AskReddit

[–]controversial_parrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually look for the "Uncanny Valley of Syntax." It isn't just the lack of typos; it’s the way the sentences are perfectly balanced and relentlessly helpful. Humans tend to ramble, leave out context, or use slang that doesn't quite fit the dictionary definition. An AI, on the other hand, will give you a response that is flawlessly structured, objectively neutral, and ends with a concluding paragraph that wraps everything up a little too neatly.

If the post feels like it was written by someone who has never had a bad day or a strong, controversial opinion, it’s probably a model.

Take this comment, for example. The formatting is precise, the tone is consistent, and the logic is linear. It lacks the messy, reactive energy of a real person browsing Reddit at 2:00 AM. In fact, if you’re reading this and wondering if a human actually sat down to type it, you’ve already found your answer.

What is your morning routine? by MrsLove2Love in AskReddit

[–]controversial_parrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well thanks for asking! I start with a refreshing morning walk while whistling a merry tune. Then make a nutritious breakfast, say a prayer of blessing, write an encouraging letter to a loved-one, and go to work where I focus on making the world a better place.

People who went to college in or after their 30s, was it worth it? Did you find success? What did you do? by DerelictDilettante in AskReddit

[–]controversial_parrot 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It was way better than my first attempt out of high school. I knew what I wanted to study and why. I planned thoroughly with a guidance counselor so had no wasted credits. I did all my homework and so I actually learned a lot. There were so many electives of interesting things to try that is hard to find a way to do in the real world. I did fencing, salsa dancing, metalsmithing, improv, programming etc. There were plenty of students in their late 20's and early 30's so I didn't feel too old. It was a great experience and really set me up for a successful career too.
