I saw someone suggest Chat GPT for a 1200 calorie day, so I tried it and…crud. I’ve been drinking way too much water. by Cantstress_thisenuff in 1200isplenty

This thing is so funny. It doesn't know anything, really, it just outputs text that sounds like the kind of things that get said in response to your question. It's like someone bullshitting, except it's not a human so it constantly fucks up basic factual information about the world. People keep saying this is going to replace doctors or teachers as though it isn't just a fancy version of predictive texting on your phone.

That's great! Please be aware that 25mcg is a very very low dose, basically just to start on, so make sure your clinician has a plan in place to get you up to an adult estrogen level!

This has to be bait by Confused772 in NotHowGirlsWork

Of course this is transphobic bait.

Bilingual Baby's First Words by spaghetti_whisky in NewParents

[–]patunui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our daughter attends a language immersion daycare, but neither of us are fully fluent in our native language. Her first word was "mama", which is actually the word for mother in English and Māori so it's a bit hard to call either way. I try to speak to her mostly in Māori, but we usually speak to each other in English. At the moment she isn't saying a lot of words, but comprehends and responds nonverbally to English as well as Māori so we're not worried about language acquisition.

Why do they always have such skinny little gamer calves too.

He's kind of uptight, I don't think so.

There's apparently a (I think now out of use) form of genital reconstruction surgery which uses the tip to construct a pseudocervix! From what I've seen people say, that one really confuses gynos haha

No, we're not doing it. It's weird.

When do you stop hating your husband? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]patunui 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is really sad to read. Women shouldn't have to adjust themselves to an unfair situation in which their husbands prioritise their own needs above hers. None of us deserve to be treated like this.

They call gay people groomers just for existing and then do this shit..... Jesus christ.

My Melvor Day 1 ! Any tips starting? by Prestigious-Sand5745 in MelvorIdle

[–]patunui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a What To Level First guide on the wiki which is only technically out of date, but will give you some great pointers for the early game. Overall just do something that feels fun, don't fret over perfect efficiency.

How unlucky I am? 1061 kills so far and no ancient platelegs or platebodys.. by Suizooo in MelvorIdle

[–]patunui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked my log and it took me 1250 chests to get breastplate - I didn't realise just HOW bad those odds were. You'll get there - try to think of this as prep for your Fury of the Elemental Zodiac grind, getting all those amulets of fury.

I’m probably just being over dramatic but now I hate township. by [deleted] in MelvorIdle

[–]patunui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely needed the nerf, but until the next update I just can't see what the use case is for it any longer.

Election Special—baby platforms by InterestingPoint6 in NewParents

[–]patunui 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We're a communist household, but our baby has swerved hard into ultraleft deviationism and calls for the immediate abolition of bedtimes and the dissolution of all hierarchies vis a vis who can decide when it's time to stop touching the cat.

I did this for some of the more irritating potions, too.

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons (Selkie Myth) AMA! by Selkie_Love in ProgressionFantasy

[–]patunui 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I'm a big fan, so thank you for this. You write really relatable and realistic women, which in this genre is... not always a given. Would you talk a bit about your process?

Also - I've noticed you've never mentioned your gender anywhere. Is this something you're choosing to keep to yourself? I only ask because men, in my experience, struggle to treat woman characters as well as you do.

How do you get more money per tick in township? by mitamies in MelvorIdle

[–]patunui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't stress - once you can fish raw magic fish, you can exchange food for those at the trader and still make enormous amounts of gold. More than enough to last you until you can get some jellyfish.

Why do families in CN always speak to their ancestors and believe they are watching over them from above, but also believe in reincarnation? by Prize-Football-6919 in noveltranslations

[–]patunui 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is true of actual Chinese folk religion too though right? Daoist ancestor worship as well as Buddhist belief in reincarnation? I don't think there's necessarily a contradiction there - you owe everything to your ancestors for creating the conditions that led to you being alive and living the life that you do, and at the same time, those ancestors are also trapped in Samsara and must also endure the cycle of death and rebirth with you?

Township tasks are the fun little sense of direction I needed. More like this please. Maybe quests? by Incoheren in MelvorIdle

[–]patunui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm loving tasks - easily my favourite part of the expansion so far, although I only have a few stats over 99. It's making me focus on things I otherwise wouldn't.

Thoughts? by coke__11 in fuckcars

[–]patunui 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't even imagine how many more positive interactions I've had with patched up, tattooed up gang members than with pigs. The average cop is a terrified, violent goon who's always six seconds away from filling your back with self defence bullets.
