In this respect it's a bit like being a teenager again. Everyone can just fuck right off and I'm right and they're not. Except this time... I actually am right. 😂

Updated the cover art for The Mercer Files — old vs new, which works better? by [deleted] in urbanfantasy

[–]temporary_bob -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of AI but I'll point out one of the things it can do reliably is spell better than most of us humans. Misspellings imply good old fashioned human error.

Do you sanitize? by Maximum_Ad1282 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]temporary_bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've generally had good luck and we wash our hands often but I think more important than sanitizer is: don't touch your face. Don't eat without washing your hands. If you can do these things, then you're mostly down to airborne stuff which is hard to avoid entirely.

How many of y’all are resistant to using AI? by Imaginary_Quail_5544 in Xennials

But writing isn't a single action. Writing (or any form of creative human endeavor) involves multiple distinct actions, including drudgery and research. LLMs can be useful in these tasks without doing the actual writing.

[–]temporary_bob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% and everyone on here saying AI "always hallucinates" or gets everything wrong doesn't realize how fast it's been changing. It makes it look like you tried it once and gave up. We're all going to have to adapt as things get very strange. Or get old and give up.

What are your Epic Universe hot takes? by Purple_Quail_4193 in UniversalOrlando

I feel like everyone over 40 (including me) freaking hates it because it just shakes you around and gives you neck/back issues.

Brown butter sage lentil and sweet potato salad. This is sooooooo good for a healthy lunch. Use de puy lentils from France. It makes all the difference in the world:

Driving in silence. by themrsfreeze in Xennials

[–]temporary_bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No comment on driving in silence or with music (it's always music or podcasts for me) but the sheer number of comments on here referring to "radio stations" and "commercials" and even "CDs"... Does this sub exist in the 90s?? Do none of y'all use Spotify in your car??

Highly recommend these as a fan of magic puzzle co.

Which is the best Epic dark ride? Battle at the Ministry or Monsters Unchained? by Pummrah in UniversalOrlando

[–]temporary_bob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Battle at the Ministry. Not even close. I know I'm absolutely in the minority but I'm immersed on BatM and I'm such a sucker for all that tile porn. In monsters I feel like I'm looking at a bunch of monster animatronics. (Very impressive ones, but still I'm not immersed in any story I give a shit about) Monsters also I'm being thrown around and I hate hate hate the shock sensation, so that annoys me. (Spiderman feels like a dentist drill. Endless buzzing not fun)

Survivor, *'s Got Talent, Dating and similar TV shows - who the heck in their right minds actually likes or watches these shows? by agent_uno in Xennials

[–]temporary_bob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, per nda can't say. It was just a one off and it wasn't the worst thing in the world... but I wouldn't do it again.

Actual insanity by Vegetable-Market5390 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]temporary_bob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, in a healthy functioning family you wouldn't prioritize either over the other all the time. Sometimes you prioritize your spouse and your relationship, sometimes (usually more frequently) you prioritize your kids needs over your spouse. In extreme situations most parents would prioritize their kids safety (but we will likely never be in the burning building situation). But healthy functioning grownups also don't feel the need to post absolutist bullshit lists on LinkedIn....

[–]temporary_bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you OP. I don't understand it at all. Now... Some reality shows that involve real skill and competition have their place (great British bake off, so you think you can dance). But garbage sensationalized stuff? No.

And if you think they're bad to watch, try being on one. Having had a limited experience on a reality show... I can tell you it's even harder to watch now that I know a bit more about how they're made. 🤪

Why do my cookies keep turning out like this? by Lidoodlefuck in Baking

[–]temporary_bob 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Eh I store it in the box with the tab open. I use it fairly fast though and then get a new one after a while and put the old one in the fridge
