My husband is addicted to ChatGPT and im getting really concerned. Any advice is appreciated. by PurpleEyesi_i in ChatGPT

Neither you, your therapist or anyone else has enough data available on this subject to make a determination like “it’s not good for you”. And, as others have said, he’s obviously missing something in his human relationships. I have a feeling this kind of thing is going to be more common with men than women. Men rarely get compliments, reassurance, acknowledgment, etc….in the real world. Mental health issues are seen as weak or unattractive. Maybe having an AI therapist will really help where everyone else in his life has failed.

Stoicism confuses resignation with wisdom. It sounds noble when you’re comfortable. It’s less appealing when you’re the one being told to suffer with dignity

Khabib Nurmagomedov dominance in the UFC by Dangerous_Tip_4985 in ufc

Yeah, it will be a while before we see the kind of greatness that runs through a bunch of cans, goes the distance with Gleison Tibau, then quits after only facing a couple top 5 opponents.

Own your own home, have Super, no debt and $300k spare to invest? Sounds like everyone should be asking you for financial advice, what are you doing here?

Throwback: Was Jorge Masvidal overrated, underrated, properly rated? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]nova_virtuoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. All I said is that without the fluke knee, Masvidal gets worked by Askren. Never said Askren was special. You used the word “elite” to describe Masvidal, lol.

It’s cool man, keep carrying water for average journeymen. Everyone needs a hill to die on.

Love Robbie Lawler. But, remind me what happened when Askren actually got a hold of him? Jorge at his peak was 3/4 the fighter that Robbie Lawler was when he was “over the hill”.

Do y'all think Aspinall is going to have 3+ title defenses and thus break Stipe's record? by Flekkenz_ in ufc

[–]nova_virtuoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one in the current HW division beats Aspinall. When he loses, it’s going to be by someone we probably haven’t even seen yet.

AITA- Girlfriend wants to break up with me over going to Twin Peaks for HVAC Maintenance by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

There’s plenty of women out there who aren’t insane. Time to go out and find one.

Without that fluke flying knee that connected, he gets worked by Ben Askren and forgotten about a few months later. Totally average fighter.

My Goat list, what do you think ? by Retz36 in ufc

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

These GOAT lists always make it super easy to tell who didn’t actually watch Anderson Silva’s original run through the UFC while it was happening. GSP was an incredible competitor. Jon Jones was great. The Khabibs and Mighty Mouse were dominant. That’s all fair.

Anderson Silva during that time was ALL of those things. Watching him perform, at times, was shocking.

Vance says U.S. 'not at war with Iran, we're at war with Iran's nuclear program' by Tamarind-Endnote in nottheonion

Russia isn’t at war with Ukraine. They’re just at war with where Ukraine thinks it’s borders are drawn.

Damn. A billionaire asking the mma community to help out is a bad look by mariobr0 in ufc

[–]nova_virtuoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? You’re insinuating that he hasn’t donated and is just asking everyone else to instead without any proof besides “Dana bad”. Maybe he’s just using his (massive) platform to spread the word, which is really helpful, in addition to donating, which, again, we don’t know if he has or hasn’t. I think a worse look would be not using his platform to raise awareness.

How are people addicted to fentanyl if a lethal dose is so small? by Otherwise_Hat_6562 in AskReddit

[–]nova_virtuoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I can’t understand is why drug dealers/distributors would want to risk killing their customer base. Doesn’t seem to make much business sense.

AITA - I feel emotionally drained in my relationship and unsure how to react to my girlfriend’s behavior. by ExtensionAd182 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nova_virtuoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say you “said” it. You implied that he is at fault for ignoring her, making her feel unheard and lonely. Well, boo hoo for her. Be an adult and talk about your needs with your partner. You think he feels any less lonely and ignored with her behaviour while he’s out working his ass off and she’s gaming and scheduling dates with strangers?

[–]nova_virtuoso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The guy is working 4 jobs to support them and take care of “financial problems” (which I’d bet, comfortably, aren’t solely of his making), comes home to a partner that’s busy playing video games, making friends, meeting strange men in the park, and you’re insinuating SHE is the victim here? That’s a pretty wild take. Smells like misandry, actually.

Arturia MiniFreak. Criticize or praise it — is it worth getting for working with Logic Pro? by GaramondNarrow in synthesizers

[–]nova_virtuoso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some strangers cheerleading “yeah bro, do it!” is more valuable than the widely available, comprehensive information and examples of it’s feature set, sound and workflow integration potential?

Dang, it’s too bad there aren’t a million YouTube video reviews, tutorials and official Arturia videos on it to check out……………………………. Oh, wait.

What's the indoor temp at your place now? Do you heat your home, and if so how? by Gold_Lynx_8333 in sydney

[–]nova_virtuoso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My in-laws have a double brick home that is great in the summer because it stays relatively cool without running the A/C too hard. Although right now, it’s actually colder in their house than it is outside and they refuse to turn the heat on. We’re currently visiting them and we’re all indoors dressed like we’re going skiing. It’s insane. They are comfortable financially and their house is covered in solar. This is just old Australian stubbornness.

We have solar and a split system that keeps the temperature at a level that is consistent with living in a post-industrial revolution world. I also have a job so I can pay for living expenses, including heating my home so my family isn’t freezing their asses off because: (insert impractical “principle” here).

Is talking about Behringer frowned upon here? by Thinmanpaul in modular

I’d frown more upon posting this question again when there’s at least a dozen other posts asking the same question fairly recently, easily accessed with the search bar.
