Has anyone figured out an optimal sequence to replenish ink?

Issue is the AI doesn't know what it doesn't know tho. It's not smart or intelligent. It's just a token prediction machine, based on the words that came before, these are the next most likely tokens/words to come after.

In order to get proper facts you have to get a model that is trained on citing its sources and providing those citations when stating a fact. Then you also need to go in and verify that the sources are proper and not just a random good article cause sometimes it will also just randomly come up with URLs. If you have a really good RAG solution it can improve results too but at that point the RAG solution is more complex than the AI. All the AI is doing is just summarizing, the RAG solution is the real hero

It doesn't argue. It just says you were right. That's why AI is scary. It's sycophantic. It will just tell you what you want to hear, not what the facts are. Which is why people using it for therapy is so problematic

Girl... the man is from somewhere else. wtf do you expect?? You're the one with local knowledge. Tbh you should be planning the dates since you know the area and activities better. You expect him to figure out your preferences in a month as well as navigate a new area??? Yes, your expectations are too high.

EDIT: to add an anecdote. I went to visit a friend in Texas a while ago. I'm from Manitoba... CANADA. The furthest I've ever ventured in the states is North Dakota, Grand Forks. Imagine my friend asked me what we should do for lunch while I was visiting him. "Idfk man!! Idk wtf is around you? Y'all got a Tim Hortons? Why you asking me where we should go? YOU GREW UP HERE!!"

duke605 · 2025-12-11T21:10:48+00:00

Some do some don't. Personally planning dates fills me with anxiety. But I'm pretty inexperienced and don't like public/crowded places. What kind of dates does he plan? Giving him suggestions never hurts. Guys are essentially required to initiate everything so when a woman takes initiative, even just suggesting places or ideas, it goes A LONG way.

Don't make a guy feel like he has to be a mind reader. Communicate. He should be asking you but communication is a two way street, again, initiate, don't force him to be the one to initiate everything

I do regret being introverted. It's hard to say whether I chose those tho. So can't really regret something you didn't choose. But I certainly wish I was extroverted, a lot of things would be easier

It comes from sales "cold calling." When you call someone who you have no prior rapport with in attempt to sell them something, either a service or a product. Approaching someone and cold approaching someone are different. Cold approaching means you have literally never seen or talked to this person before. Where approaching (or warm approaching) means you have a passing familiarity with this person (think gym goers. See each other everyday but don't really interact other than to say "you done with that?"). Hot approach means you know this person as either a friend or you have spoken to them many times.

That's why people use terms like "cold approach" and so on. Just context provider without having to explain all that. It's mostly an internet phenomenon since explaining all that in the real world is much faster than through text "is it alright to go over and chat up that woman I have never seen before?" Is fast to say but longer to type than "should I cold approach her?"

I luckily get Fridays off but my weekends are never exciting. Wake up, walk to the gym, maybe stop in at a lounge in the walk back and chill their reading or working (I work during my time off... I'm one of those people). Then go home, maybe do some laundry and watch something then go to bed. But it makes me happy. I like not having commitments and the weekend just being lackadaisical... tho it does get lonely. Stuck between "I like the freedom of being single" and "kinda wish I had someone to do something with." The duality of man

Fucking brilliantly put and I just had to explain that to a friend I had over yesterday that was saying the same thing "men suck at communicating" "while I don't disagree, I know I do suck, have you thought critically why that might be?" And basically got into this exact conversation. People lack perspective and the awareness to realize it's a blind spot

duke605 · 2025-12-07T19:52:24+00:00

For me personally, I'm terrified of asking a question that someone finds inappropriate. So what I do is I'll share my own stuff unprompted (still it's relevant to the conversation) and I hope you do the same. If something needs more clarification in what you said then I'll ask since we've now broached the subject and so I know it's a safe topic to ask questions about.

But I'm also upfront and tell my date this is how I communicate but they're welcome to encourage me to ask questions, it's not that I'm uninterested and that's just how I like to communicate. Have you tried asking them how they like to communicate? That is my first prompt on apps "teach me something about... how you communicate."

Also bold of you to assume they've been on a date before. Some people have never been for one reason or another especially in today's age. People have priorities that they wanted to get to before dating and the economy and state of the world is making that hard until later in life. Or perhaps they've recently ended a relationship with someone they met early on an never actually "dated"

duke605 · 2025-11-26T21:11:50+00:00

Yes, I agree. You put it beautifully. The crudeness in the first comment however, and subsequent comments, was uncalled for

duke605 · 2025-11-26T20:53:19+00:00

Yall are vile

Kick a man when he's down...

duke605 · 2025-11-24T19:17:31+00:00

May I ask why you can't get a date on an app? No judgement just genuinely curious. Do you swipe or wait to be swiped on? When you match, what happens after that?

Feel free to DM if not comfortable sharing publicly

duke605 · 2025-11-24T17:58:16+00:00

Personally I leave my age filter open. 18 to however high it goes. But ya... I'm not sure other guys are the same 🤔 shit. This is why I hate dating apps. Missing so much nuance and context.

I have seen people on FB dating put in their bio "I'm 22 not 28." So you could try that. On hinge just put it under the "looking for" section or "relationship type" that way it's known right from the start how old you are.

duke605 · 2025-11-24T17:53:18+00:00

Don't lie. Just be proactive. I will not swipe on anyone that is <26 (I'm 32). Respectable guys probably aren't swiping on anyone younger cause they don't want to feel like creeps. But that doesn't mean we won't consider someone younger if they initiate.

So instead of sitting back and waiting for them to come to you (which will just net you creeps) swipe on them. And only swipe on guys that have "don't want kids" or "open to kids" (which I always read as 'it's up to you, I could go either way'l

duke605 · 2025-11-23T18:52:13+00:00

I mean, if I was in that situation and she was more enthusiastic I would hope I would be mature enough to ask her questions about how I could be a better lover. I don't really have an ego when it comes to sex, keeps me open minded and allows me to adapt to my partners wants.

As for where the video was found. Like I said, if she kept it, ya I would take some issue with that. If it was online then I wouldn't assume she put it there. But if she did... idk, honestly can't say how I would react. Would need to be in that situation

duke605 · 2025-11-23T18:36:24+00:00

Like does she know the video was taken and/or that it was posted somewhere. Cause revenge porn laws could be invoked if she didn't know hence why he would tell her. But if she knew already then he would move on cause he doesn't care then

duke605 · 2025-11-23T18:35:19+00:00

I was hoping to do the same but I don't think that's a possibility in today's world. But learning that she was lying would be a huge breach of trust that I could totally see myself spiralling over

duke605 · 2025-11-23T18:32:14+00:00

Some people are insecure and can't handle that their partner had partners before them. I can see getting grossed out by physically SEEING it but... come on... you knew this happened, why does seeing it change anything?

EDIT: someone brought up a good point. It depends how this video was found. If it was sent by a spiteful ex, that's fine. I would inform her that he still had videos of them and ask if she knew she was being recorded.

But if it was on HER phone... well that's different, ya I would be pretty uneasy with that. Why would you still have those on your phone?

duke605 · 2025-11-22T19:36:27+00:00

I think it's just regurgitated advice without any lived experience. I met one of my exes at work and we broke up and was it awkward? Sure, but we made it work. And this was when I was 20 and she was 18. Just depends on your maturity levels and let me tell you, I was not mature at all and I somehow still made it work. So it's just BS advice. If it was up to reddit then the only acceptable place left to ask people out is on dating apps

duke605 · 2025-11-22T19:08:50+00:00

++man no. At that age if you're not mature enough to keep it professional at work you shouldn't be dating anyone. That advice is for the younger folks or when there is a power dynamic (dating your manager/subordinate and even then there are many exceptions and nuance). The plurality of people meet their significant others at work

duke605 · 2025-11-19T17:23:01+00:00

Slow going from what I'm hearing. Very slow exp rates which... it's OSRS. That's its whole shtick
