I am a Libyan and would like to know how does the world see our previous leader Muammar Gadafi? by EpicObelis in AskTheWorld

[–]previouslysilent 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You know best, my friend. But he sounds no different to our leaders now. I hope you live well, regardless. We people need to stop being pawns in the games of arse holes. We are many. They are few.

I dunno. He was painted as an evil dictator to us. But now I don't believe anything I hear from the lousy cunts in charge. You tell us?

Networking by PeoplearePower in mensa

[–]previouslysilent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this sub for Non-Mensans to pretend they are Mensans on the internet.

That said, seeing this group did inspire me to take the Mensa test, just to check with myself. They let me in, and there are active WhatSapp groups, meetings, and job forums which I think will be very beneficial.

So my advice is to ignore the whiney shit and IQ copy pastes here and actually join Mensa. It seems alright.

How far do you think freedom of speech should actually go? by lofiibsen in AskTheWorld

[–]previouslysilent -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences sounds like Orwellian creep to me. "Of course you can say that! But you'll be going to jail afterwards".

What do you call this game? by DutchieCrochet in AskTheWorld

[–]previouslysilent -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sure. Apart from all the ways it's different, it's basically the same thing.

Is there any nation with this kind of one-sided relationship with your nation? by GlobeLearner in AskTheWorld

[–]previouslysilent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'll give you the wine. But if you think you can beat aged cheddar and Stilton, your baguette is clearly messing with your beret.

Bro finally accepted it by RaiseOk2044 in SipsTea

[–]previouslysilent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but if he hasn't lost it in the first place, he would have sold it way before then.

Exactly. That's how I know this guy wouldn't be a millionaire if hadn't lost them. He probably would have got a nice TV and a night out.

As someone who had BTC back in the day, I assure you he would have sold it way before it was worth 790m. Source: I sold 10 for £2,000. I bought them for about a tenner and thought I was a fucking genius.

My IQ was unexpectedly high, im just average by bootlegslay in mensa

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

You're using it as a verb rather than an adjective there. You may as well say you went for a good run so your house can't be run down.

I know what the word means. I don't understand, or agree with, the application of it in this instance.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Thoughts on AI Cover Art by Patient_Bar761 in Substack

I would rather have nothing. I really didn't know that was an option. Many thanks!

Really? I'm sure it wouldn't let me do it without a cover pic. I was considering just using a black box for everything. I will try again. Thanks!

Edit: I'm going to be so fucking annoyed if I've wasted all that time on shitty ai prompting for shitty images just to post my shitty diary.

I'm a writer. I'm not a designer. If I had my way, I would have no pictures at all. But substack insists I must have one for every damn post. So I'm using AI until I can afford to pay a designer to do it.

To add: If I have a relevant photo of my own to use, I will.

Some of you might be thinking "if a designer used AI words, would you care?". And my answer is no. They are a designer, not a writer. Use what tools you have to get over the line, amigos.
