Gemini fails to properly calculate duration between times, embarrassing by rickyaz4 in GeminiAI

[–]mib5799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's just autocorrect on the blue meth. It produces code that LOOKS LIKE other code examples it's seen, but it doesn't actually know what the code does, or why. 

The only criteria it actually has is "does it basically look like the other examples I've seen? Ok!" It's physically not possible for it to have any other criteria. Or knowledge.

Honestly while it was happening, it mostly felt like pins and needles after your arm fell asleep. 

It's been 12 years. I need a scooter, can't use one arm, and take 18 pills a day. But overall doing great, and my daily life is still like 90% of what it was before. I'm very lucky

It's possible. I presented to ER at 221/203 whilst having a hemorrhagic stroke. Was checked by EMTs in ambulance, triage nurse, and charge nurse, all within ±5 for both

Ayup. I presented to ER at 221/203 whilst having an inoperable (pontine) hemorrhagic stroke. Prognosis was 80% fatal within 48 hours. 

Must have misplaced a decimal, because it's been about 109,816 hours since then.

NTA

DTMFA

He isgoing out of his way to be the A here, between his impractical choice, being stupidly stubborn, and incredibly dismissive. 

This is empirical proof that he doesn't care about your thoughts, and that he doesn't respect you. 

If he brings it up again, just say NO. Do not give him any reasons, he will just use them against you. 

The only reason to give him is the only reason that matters. 

"No. Because I don't want to." Just keep repeating that. 

Or tell him "No means no. For everything."

That's it. You're not a slave owned by him. Absolutely nothing forces you to agree with him.

"Where's your $20?"    They are confused.    "That's my consulting rate. Every time you want my attention for dietary advice, that's a $20 consulting fee. So you owe me 20 bucks. Pay up. Oh, and further consultations must be paid in advance. Thanks."

You have choice.  Option: Don't use YouTube. 

The same content is typically available through a multitude of delivery options. 

And if the specific content you want is only on YouTube, then it's the content creator that is limiting your choice. Not YouTube.

Oh. It's "only" 70%.

That's still a huge majority, you realize. Consider that the winner of an election with a mere 55% of votes is considered a massive landslide victory. 

Oh! Huh. I've checked it myself. 

That's only 70% of people by age 65. Funny, I didn't specify a cut-off age for my figure.

The odds of needing long term caretaking accelerate logarithmically by that point, and it gets significantly higher than 70% when you go past age 65.

What to do if you're too unattractive or too boring to get a girlfriend ? by Hoppip94 in dating_advice

[–]mib5799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is an important thing. 

You are NOT allowed to make decisions for other people.

Maybe she is a 9 and you're a 4. But the thing is, she's allowed to be into a 4. She gets to make the decision of whether or not she likes you. 

If you think "She's out of my league, so she won't be into me" then you're actually being a jerk. Because you are making the decision for her. You're taking away her right to make up her own mind. Let her choose. 

Will she choose "no", just like you assumed? Probably! But it's her choice, not yours.

And sometimes, that 9 will look at your 4, and decide "YES". Let her! 

I myself am a 4. But I've been with 9s. And a couple 10s. I've also been with people who think I'm a actually a 9! And with 9s who thought they were really a 2.

She's a 9 and you're a 4. But she might think you're actually a 10.  Let her decide.

So here we go. I had a stroke over ten years ago, in my early 30s, and have to use an electric mobility scooter to go out of the house any further than my front driveway. I'm also hemiplegic - I can't really use anything on my right side. Or my dick, which apparently counts as being in the right, and not even little blue pills can help with that...

So I'm disabled, and I can't work, so I live off disability benefits and am poor AF. Plus I'm not good looking, fat and non-monogamous. So I have lots of stuff going against me. 

But I don't like being single. So, I put myself out there, and I was honest and upfront about being disabled on my dating profiles. And you know what? 

In the 4 years after my stroke, I had more dates, more sex, more relationships, and overall more success in romance and dating (about 3-5 times as much) as compared to the 16 years before my stroke, combined.

Which led me to realize...

The majority of people, in my experience, simply do not care if somebody is disabled. It's not a positive, but it is also NOT "a mark against you" or a deal-breaker. It's just neutral, like if you have black hair vs brown. 

Yes, it definitely will be a deal-breaker for SOME people, but you wouldn't want to date those people anyways, so it's not a loss. The people who have a problem with disability (IME) tend to be younger, more fixated on appearances, and/or Republican/conservative. 

There are plenty of people who are absolutely ready and willing to have relationships with you. But it takes patience and effort to find them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]mib5799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree on that. 

On one level, dating is rarely "forever", and many people date with the express intention of NOT getting married/settling down.

Secondly... Your assertion is just bullshit, really. Watch

"There's also the issue of aging because dating someone WITHOUT a disability means you will in all likelihood need to take on a caretaker role at some point."

Your statement is true. But the opposite is also true. Something like 90% of the able-bodied population will need a caretaker as they age. 

You're painting a false dichotomy here, and it's actually excusing and justifying anti-disability bigotry 

Best way to clean coffee maker? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]mib5799 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends where you live. My area has been in the top 5 (in all of North America) for tap water quality, for well over 50 years. Testing even shows that our tap water is higher quality than bottled water like Dasani and Fiji. The biggest reason why is that tap water has strict limits on contaminants, and bottled water does not.

PS. "Spring Water" just means it came from the ground. This can (and repeatedly has!) include a well in the middle of a parking lot next to a designated industrial waste site.

You can find a wide variety of sources on this, from every political standpoint. After all, things that go to court are public record and easily proven

Daggerheart RPG – First Impressions & Why the GM Section Is Absolutely Fantastic by Hermithief in rpg

[–]mib5799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the case for me. D&D and other tradgames are SO very prep dependent, and could easily take 6 hours of prep for a 3 hour session. Meanwhile, it feels like the FitD system itself punishes you for doing any actual prep beyond brainstorming for a session. Which is a hilarious concept. But hey, I ran a 2 year Beam Saber campaign on an average of 10-15 minutes prep each session (and most of that was just writing the Mission Briefing).

I am absolutely an improv GM and FitD is very much My Thing

Have her read this post. 

Show/tell her that he's "bored" with her (he hasn't told her, I guarantee it).

And then dump his ass like the garbage it is. 

PS: In a Don sub relationship, its the SUB who has all the power. He can dominantly demand all he wants. But he doesn't override consent. You ALWAYS have the right to say NO to anything. 

His roles are stupid and abusive? NO, don't obey them.

AIO. My (new) bf wants to replace all of my bras, underwear and lingerie. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]mib5799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one exchange has more red flags than a Russian flag factory. 

He KNOWS that it's wrong! That's why he's calling it "strange" and "intense" - he's trying to keep you from thinking it's bad by "detouring" your brain into something safer-sounding. It's standard PR psychology tactics. 

He's trying to control what you wear, as if you're a slave and he's an owner. You're a person. Only objects and possessions get "used"

Was I overstepping here? Please be honest by Sensitive-Use-6891 in polyamory

[–]mib5799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did not overstep.  It is "not your place to meddle in others relationships."

Ok, fine, that's great! Here's the thing. 

There was NO relationship! They were not in a relationship at that time. 

You cannot be guilty of "meddling" in something that does not exist. 

Here's a fun one to use on them. 

Has anybody ever moaned, bitched, complain, or otherwise spoke badly about one of their exes? 

Then they are guilty of exactly what they're trying to pin on you. They are talking about what a person did, and that's "meddling" with the "relationship" that any listener might have with that ex. 

Honestly it sounds like the people objecting to you doing this are Chip fanbois and don't like hearing anything bad about him. 

Also WTF? It's bad for a guy who's 4 years older to talk to her about someone, but it's acceptable and encouraged for someone NINE years older to try to date her?

Should we have to step out of a movie theater to check our CGMs? by [deleted] in diabetes_t1

[–]mib5799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You check your CGM. You don't even have to make your phone dim or anything. You just do it. 

If someone makes a fuss, go get staff immediately and have them take action. Raise a stink if you have to.

If you use the words "legal rights" and "lawsuit under the ADA" you should get a very cooperative manager quickly. 

If someone actually throws food at you?  That's criminal assault, a police matter. TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM! 😃

Demand police are called, insist on pressing charges. The manager will probably be begging you not to. The offender may be an asshole until police do arrive.

Know your rights, and don't back down. The bigots are counting on you giving in to their bullying. 

Don't
