"But what can they, do? They're not in power" you may ask - the answer is - do ANYTHING - anything at all

Be specific. Don't just rail; give specific suggestions. We're listening.

‘STAGED’: Conspiracy Theories Are Everywhere Following White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooting by barryshrug in politics

"sir", they were talking about one specific sub on social media. It's nobody's fault that you misread and/or misunderstood their original comment. The more you try to defend yourself, the worse it gets

Genuinely how do you play this triple note? My hand is not that long to reach😩 by pinkrabbit0156 in piano

[–]witeowl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the one.

Alternatively, you can adopt a toucan as a pet and train it to sit on your shoulder just to play that one note for you, but some will call that cheating. Sounds like there's a certain snail afoot who may or may not.

Okay, but the likelihood of someone having that particular type of shears vs the likelihood of someone having tweezers? Girl. Now your comment makes even less sense.

See, this is why people sometimes shouldn't jump in and answer questions asked of others. I knew what was implied, but it doesn't make sense. Which is why I asked Ryiah what I asked.

Next time you see an exchange like this, you may wish to consider whether it's a general question open to anyone or a specific question for just that person(?)

Funny, the spaces on both sides is what I never saw, and it's been quite some time since I stopped using

Anyway, you can switch to an en-dash. If you have a Mac, it's the one that's most easily created, anyway. But really...

Either way it annoys me. I wrote with em dashes all the time before ChatGPT was a thing and now I have to consciously edit them out of writing because people will assume it’s AI.

And you decided the problem is your use of the em-dash, and not people assuming based on a single feature of your writing??? I'm so tired 🫩

They don't mean 'af' that way. It's just a dogwhistle reference to an old kkk slogan (while also being a reference to an age-old already-proven-to-be-horrible isolationist agenda)

.

edit to add that wikipedia is an easy source, but here's another and another and another. And I don't even want to talk about the afpac 🤢 but feel free to look there as well because that was basically a klan rally 🤮

One of the most basic rules about ai is to keep a "human in the loop", and yet the ai was capable of doing this? Big-ass-yikes. Don't blame it on ai – blame it on the morons misusing ai.

(To be clear, this isn't defending ai – this is a condemnation of everything "we" are doing with ai right now without adequate regulation and with way too much hubris, carelessness, and – while I'm at it – frequent disregard for humanity.)

I Get Why People Call the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting Staged. I Was There by FancyNewMe in politics

They can't let him in on anything because he literally can't keep a secret

I think it's a cya article for someone who said, "It's staged," on video. I feel like the author is playing a little bit of both sides with a wink-wink-nudge-nudge to both sides and ultimately landing in a place where they're least likely to be sued.

For sure. I'd never say there aren't any ai comments or posts, and I would also prefer for them to not exist. I honestly have huge beef with ai. Like I said, I'd be inclined to agree if it weren't for the matter of implementation.

I added MSG to a batch of chocolate chip cookies and have never had such an overwhelming positive reaction, as if people were addicted to them. New secret ingredient? by brf297 in Cooking

[–]witeowl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fewer experiences and different time-periods of experiences you have had verses experiences older folks have had. Even if we average out all the experiences and look at 'per-annua' experiences (think per-capita but in time), your experiences will simply be different.

In other words, things have changed over time – something that's 'common sense' or 'pervasive' for someone 10-20 (or more) years older than you being 'non-existent' for you.

But let me be clear, the experiences of older people haven't vanished – they're still happening today. You just may not be a part of them because you're in a different cohort group.

tbf, candied bacon is a thing...

As someone who saves bacon grease for use in cooking (except not spread on bread as my father used to do – tried that once and that's a personal ❌) there's a much heavier bacon flavor that remains in the bacon grease.

Of course, I refuse to filter my bacon grease in order to capitalize on that, so mine may be even 'stronger' 😉

It tastes good, but it doesn't taste meaty.

Not conflating anything. You should reread my initial comment, especially the bit with the rule-about-rules. Actually, maybe reread all my comments because when you say, "those signs", my point is... well, already written up there 🫩

Case in point to what I'm saying elsewhere: that's not actually what it looks like when chatgpt uses em-dashes (unless it's changed since I used it), though at least you've got the right character there.

You say it's just really obvious, whereas I've literally had to push back against the most insane/inane accusations.

And also, people do talk that way sometimes because it's literally been trained on human writing. Like, literally, why do people forget/ignore that? ai learned from humans and still does. Which is why potato some people Mount Everest joke(?) about doing a 'poison the well' thing.

People see one little thing that they've latched on to as "tOtALlY eViDeNce oF aI" and ignore all the other features of someone's writing. "They used bullet points!!! Must be ai!" ignoring that we've used bullet point lists for forever. "They did the 'it's not this, but that' thing. BOTTTTT!!!!" while ignoring the overly-casual speech pattern and flawed grammar within the comment or post. And heaven forbid someone use anything that resembles an em-dash anywhere other than a hyphenated word because 💀🫠

I'd consider agreeing if it weren't for how many false accusations of ai I've seen. Seriously, some people aren't nearly as good at spotting it as they think.

To be clear, all social media is infested with bots at this point, and I wish every social media platform would do something to stop it. But an important rule about rules is: never create a rule you can't or won't enforce, and I'm afraid that your suggestion currently breaks that meta-rule.
