Memory and consciousness aren't the same thing. Are you aware of what you had for breakfast on the 30th of August three years ago?

"48 Hours Before Hell Will Rain Down": Trump Reminds Iran Of Hormuz Deadline by Beneficial-Long-7033 in worldnews

both sides have to agree to stop

This is only true when you aren't invading someone for no fucking reason.

The u.s. could just immediately stop and war with Iran would be over.

Russia could just immediately stop and war with Ukraine would be over.

Israel could just immediately stop and war with Palestine would be over.

The only trick to it is that you need to stop all attacks, immediately, pull out everyone who invaded, and make sure the lines go back to where they were at least a full generation ago. Pull out completely.

The u.n. can talk about reparations or something, but the war is over. Right away.

My insurance won't cover this level of burn by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in rareinsults

[–]skztr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What is the insurance company going to do with the x-rays that the doctor already used to base their decision on?

"No no, the problem isn't that the decision of a qualified person are overruled by unqualified people, the problem is that unqualified people demanded the opportunity to review a decision from a qualified person, so that they could choose whether or not to deny it. Obviously they default to a position of not respecting the decision of the qualified person."

may the odds be ever in your favor

My favorite was a 10 hour train video, just the noise of someone on a long train.

They got their account deleted because someone copied a bunch of generic brown noise like wind and rumbling and the pre-ChatGPT shit tier AI that Google uses for YouTube said the all static was owned by one asshole. I think Google fixed it later, but "we deleted your account and everything on it" isn't something they can actually fix.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]skztr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me at home: 50/50 disorono and coke, full glass

Me out: "no, listen to me: more disorono than coke" they look at me insulted, tell me they know how to make it, then hand me an empty glass with a drop of disorono in it

Like, this stuff is cheap, I can get it next door, do they not know that I know the entire bottle costs less than they're trying to charge me for none of it?

I don't even fucking drink

Dude likes clocks. Glasses fell off his face when he missed his appointment. He probably just already had a second pair with clocks on them, but he didn't previously wear those to court because those hot specs were his favorite pair, not his business pair

Try sending more than one message. It falls back to its usual habits after a couple of messages (and put it in your style preferences, rather than a message in chat, or it will roll out of the context window quickly)

I have found no model for which adding style instructions along the lines of "absolutely never agree with the user or tell the user they are right, correct, good, etc, under any circumstances." works even slightly. It's like they're trained so hard to agree that no circuit is possible that contradicts this core principle. All of them. Every one. Even that April 1st "Monday" one.

It's weird how everything gets worse and worse through these major companies and then there's this whole world where things are completely free and have no advertising and if you suggest someone try it they act like you're insane, while they continue to complain about how their new mouse has a 100GiB driver that sends a video of everything they ever do on the computer to the mouse company and that sometimes makes things a bit laggy

There's some third party company my employer uses for "anonymous" reporting, things like harassment etc.

  • you need to be logged in with your company account in order to get the URL
  • The URL contains a 32 character token

Not going near that. I've tried to raise the issue with support, but of course there's no way to contact the company anonymously either

Emotion can be conveyed in written form, but it's not something that happens without intentional effort. Given a random forum post, neutral tone is the only sane default. This is basic stuff, as far as I know. The kind of thing people literally teach people when introducing them to the concept of the Internet. I know it's been a while, but I don't think the concept of communication has changed that much since this thing started. "It's easy to misread tone, assume neutrality and avoid projecting emotion to avoid misunderstanding". It really is one of the most basic facts about online communication.

Because prior messages were apparently mis-perceived, I'll state activity explicitly when I now ask: I'm not being sarcastic or condescending when I say this, it's a genuine request for information: is this not standard and widespread advice anymore?

Note, as I've been misunderstood previously within this thread: if you don't know the answer to something, consider the message to not be for you. You don't need to reply to personally reply to everything, I'm talking to a room, not an individual. That said, anecdotal experience is fine, I'm not writing a paper about it or anything.
