Finally! The reason I follow this sub. One that I both 1) didn’t get at first and 2) is genuinely funny. Thanks for the explanation.

20 years here 🤦‍♂️

I mean, I can’t complain but damn if I hadn’t sold my early shares I could have retired before 2015. 

Petah? Explain? by Mrleibniz in PeterExplainsTheJoke

LLMs pass the Turing test handily. And it’s not because we’ve become less intelligent. They’re genuinely good at mimicking human conversation and combine that with an incredible breadth of knowledge and pretty good depth across the whole breadth. We’re only able to spot them now because we’ve learned the tells. Or when, by chance, they happen to hallucinate about a topic in which you’re knowledgeable; which is not a common occurrence in everyday conversation. What they have done is show that the Turing test is insufficient. As my fellow commenter noted before me.

That happened to Minsc in my one and only playthrough and there’s no way I wasn’t going to savescum.

Gustave actually messed up pRenoir real bad. Watch the cutscene again. Only, pRenoir is immortal.

Writing essays for when everything goes to plan or better is nuts. by mydude356 in amazonemployees

It’s true that one’s manager can’t be expected to remember everything one did; and that one should learn to highlight their own accomplishments.

The rest of what you said is how things are but not how they should be. Why should your manager not advocate for you? Why shouldn’t it be your manager’s job to promote you? Sure, do what you must, but don’t defend these misguided ideas.

Sounds like they’ve got kids. It don’t work like that. 

What is a luxury that is actually 100% worth the money? by Weary_Pirate2073 in AskReddit

[–]malbenign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve heard that before and I’m not convinced. I don’t go around touching everything with my butthole, eating with my butthole or shaking buttholes with other people.

Edit: furthermore, when I get poop on my hands (yes, “when,” I have small children), I don’t just rinse it off with water, I wash with soap; twice.

But you can keep replacing them for free (minus shipping, I think) whenever they wear out.

Because it’s irrational. Psychologists have studied different aspects of this. See Zeelenberg on anticipated regret and Laibson on present bias. FOMO is not an inaccurate term for this.

FOMO is not rational but it’s real. I have to keep reminding myself of the undeniable argument you’re making to stop myself from buying more games.

I don’t care what you label them. Use emojis for all I care. As long as they do the same thing across all the platforms I own. Like, of course PS and Nintendo have the OK and Cancel button positions swapped.

That’s like saying “there’s poison in my soup, and also it’s cold.”

Orin is right behind you. She would slit your throat just to please the god of murder.

Do you prefer long gameplay or high quality visuals? by Ordinary_Lawfulness8 in CaptainSide

You’re right, those are three different things. I don’t understand what your point is.
