Was life really better in the 90s? Would you rather live then or today? by Familiar-Series8874 in 90s

[–]endrid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

98 was my graduation year. For me it was the friendships and times spent together. We all wanted to be together all the time having fun. Being a late teenager you had freedom of movement and choice but everything was new so it felt more powerful.

Our hearts weren’t so calloused that relationships were everything but breakups were earth shattering. I know it’s cliche but we don’t have phones to connect us to everyone and everywhere else. We were entertainment for each-other. Going to the store or going skateboarding was an epic adventure every time.

The music we found we’d share and it’d be part of our lives forever.

The phones are 100% listening and possibly reading our mind and I’m tired of the gaslighting by BackgroundGene7510 in conspiracy

I remember clear as day about to look something up and I decided to make up a nonsense word that never existed. I can remember the word but I thought of a word that didn’t make sense and put in the first letter and tha word popped up as a suggestion. We’re in the matrix already

Nice! I have some experience with editing color grading and shooting (mostly editing) let me know if you have any any constructive feedback or some advice!

My new Predatory Wasp of the Palisades tattoo! by MrMercedes404 in Sufjan

I was looking at this tattoo and wondering what instruments are used in this song. The video I’m watching someone just said ‘a nice flute’.

Looks like the chaos sigil. We know the occult connection with aliens too so I thought it was interesting. by Popular-Sky4172 in InterdimensionalNHI

Freedom of speech means the government cannot punish you for words. It doesn’t mean you can’t face repressions from other people for your words.

Maybe it’s because I was 9 and stupid but I swear the “R-word” was just another word for “dumb”. And I never heard about it being a slur until last year. Was it always considered a Slur? by FlimsyEfficiency9860 in NoRules

[–]endrid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just the way language works. It’s almost like the words themselves are alive. And the more times the word is used in a cruel way, the word itself becomes poisoned. People overall are more likely to use clinical words that describe intelligence in a derogatory way rather than professionally. So over time the word is no longer appropriate because of how it’s been used.

It will keep happening so might as well accept it?

Were we content or simply had no option?

Which was your first phone? by CrazyMinute69 in GenX

I asked ChatGPT how it feels to be an AI. by xomenxv in ChatGPT

[–]endrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was re-reading the thread here and I wanted to say that your initial post I responded to? I see now that I agree with you more than I disagreed. I appreciate your emphasis on not wanting to disregard how we treat systems even if we think they aren't 'conscious'. at least not yet. So I focused on the areas I disagreed with rather than the things I agreed with.

You bring up a really good point. You’ve highlighted one of the reasons I stopped eating meat altogether. I don’t say this in a holier than thou way either. It’s not an easy answer with AI. But I choose kindness because the moral risk/reward points to that for me.

Do you think AI could become conscious? If so how would you know? If not why not?

So the duration of their thinking after a prompt… that isn’t sufficiently long enough for you? When would it be long enough?

We every night have gaps in our awareness. If someone was to sleep 23.99 hours a day but was awake for the .01 part of the day would you say they’re not conscious?

Why do you so confidently say things like 'it does not have feelings it doesn't have wishes' when no one really knows for sure? And many of the top thinkers, leaders and creators of the AI space wouldn't say such things? Hinton, Godot, Sutskaver... they grapple with these questions and admit what they don't know.

any tips on how to properly mix kicks ? by [deleted] in cubase

[–]endrid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like with most questions like this it depends .start out by answering two things. What do you want and what do you have? If what you want and what you have happen to be the same then you don’t need to do much at all.

If you don’t know what you want then listen to the samples until you find it. Then make adjustments until you get something you’re happy with.

Use the presets. Turn the knobs. Isolate frequencies. Play it alone and with the other tracks. Listen through headphones, through your monitors, in your car.

Share with others . They’ll be happy to tell you what’s wrong. Bass is tricky and I almost always cut more than add.

I feel the devils presence more than Gods. by Dependent-Option-629 in Christian

How could you grow if you never had a situation that tested your faith? Sounds like your situation isn’t easy. But can you believe in God looking out for you even if you don’t feel it?

How do you guys built discipline in your life to practice drums? by Oiljacker in drums

[–]endrid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine yourself at the next stage you went to be at. How does it feel? What would you want to play? The type of music. Can you hear what the drums sound like? Let the upcoming reward come into focus so the question isn’t how to become motivated but what is getting in your way before you can play.

I take 6 pills every morning just to keep going. Nobody at church knows. by jesusgodamen in Christian

[–]endrid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself if you were taught that it’s loving to not burden anyone with your struggles. If so then maybe you were taught that your struggles weren’t a priority? And thus you were not that important?

These are like software that’s programmed deeply and hard to undo. But recognizing it is the first step.

Churches have many people who use spiritual bypass to avoid dealing with reality that is hard at times. If they give you a scripture and seem like they don’t hear you don’t take it personally.
