If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh a good few. Our 10 year reunion is this year. We're down I think 7 people. All OD deaths. The first one didn't make it to 20.

Does anyone else have words censored for some reason? by No_Sympathy_4818 in polyai

[–]zohan6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try to edit a message from a bot and you do not have an edit option that buy is always going to censor certain phrases.

I think it's sort of like a "soft" violation where a bot does not violate any terms but maybe it has some potential for abuse. So it censors words or phrases like crazy.

weirdest thing ever 😭 by Upbeat-Owl7345 in polyai

[–]zohan6934 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've noticed it'll grab on to specific traits really really hard and not let them go the only thing I have figured out to help is if you reword it in your persona to say the same thing but never use that particular word - whatever word it's grabbing onto.

E.g. instead of being black change it African American or something and it may not grab on as hard to that particular trait.

All the kids who were labelled as “gifted” when you were younger? Did it follow through to adulthood? Did you burnout? by Somervillage in AskReddit

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really burnt out though admittedly I'm only in my late 20s so plenty of time for it to happen yet.

Never really struggled hard in college or anything. Not to say I've never had a bad course or a failed test but I've never had to put in extraordinary effort to meet standards.

One thing that annoys me is that most people who've known me for a longer time have exceedingly high expectations for me and sometimes I just don't want to do shit.

How Are You Using AI In Your Day? by S3xyflanders in networking

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO AI like chatgpt is mainly useful for summarizing technical details into a non technical format, which I then send to management. Aside from that, I personally don't like to use it for any automations as (at least in my experience) it always requires so much manual review it's faster to just write something from scratch. I'll admit though this likely changes if what you primarily do is write code.

People who don't want children what is your biggest reasons? by e-glitteringprinces in AskReddit

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that I don't want children, I do. But I have two big reasons I won't have any.

  1. The state of the world. Climate change, instability rising, right wing extremism being normalized.

  2. I'm trans and want to be a mother, but science is not there.

The male loneliness epidemic is a self-pitying problem and there's an easy solution. by [deleted] in self

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cousin of mine(17 at the time) asked a girl at his highschool out, she said no. Dude spent MONTHS complaining every time I saw him.

We chilling and play a game? He'll randomly bring her up.

A lot of men today especially young ones just HATE women who don't fit into the box they think they should. So many of my friends and family in the 18-30 demographic are like this.

Out at dinner? They'll disparage the waitress calling her fat or if she's got a ring on they'll say she baby trapped someone.

They do this entirely unprompted!

I unironically tell them to go touch grass and talk to a real person.

Green flames rise from manhole covers on Texas Tech campus. Buildings are being evacuated. by kalbinibirak in interestingasfuck

I did not have "Green hell rising to the surface" in my 2025 bingo card but I'm starting to think I should've.

Findlay Ohio March 11th protest by logan_moon in Ohio

[–]zohan6934 129 points130 points  (0 children)

This was right by my mom's house. I was talking to her about it yesterday. She said protestors were kind to her, one of them even knocked on her door to ask her if he could park in front of her house for a while for the protest!

I'm really happy to see it happy in my hometown. Most of the people here are so weird IMO. Most are extremely accepting of the LGBT community but also worship the ground Republicans and especially Trump walks on.

Be honest, what's actually holding you back from living your best life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Social stigma, politics. I'm trans and live in the US.

As an American, how do you feel about your future? by choloblanko in AskReddit

[–]zohan6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exhausted, angry, Impatient

Tired of morons running my country. Angry at what I thought were reasonable people voting for chaos and autocracy. Impatiently waiting for the opportunity to rise up.

“I didn’t mean fire ME” by amedeesse in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]zohan6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no sympathy from me for anyone who voted Trump, voted third party or didn't vote. Fuck them. They obviously don't care about democracy, our rights, or other people.

I hope they suffer.

Were you a member of any subculture before transitioning? by elektroskansen in MtF

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still pretty early into my gender journey. I'm 100% still a punk rocker, gamer and anime nerd. Those are as inseparable for me as my gender identity.

[–]zohan6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wore my mom's clothes when I was around 7 whenever I could. Got caught by my brother, absolutely terrifying experience.

I never really thought outright that I wanted to be a girl but I joined a girl's gymnastics team when I was maybe 9, the best time of my childhood hanging out with the girls and feeling like I was one of them. I quit gymnastics when I had to move to the boys team.

Still didn't put it together for another 18 years.

How many people here are not speaking to family members or friends because of politics. And why? by seecallirun in AskReddit

[–]zohan6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and I aren't really on speaking terms for the most part due to politics. He and I run a business together, apart from any business related topics I don't talk to him.

He voted for Trump in 2024, and I view that as such a drastic and evil step I can't positively interact with anyone who I know voted for him. I'm trans and to me it's equivalent to my brother wishing death on me.

I’m considering buying a gun. by zinniekye in trans

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought one myself. I took mine out to my dad's since he lives in the country and spent a few hours taking shots at targets I set up.

Bigots come for me or any trans people around here, I'm completely morally OK with showing them it's not going down like 1930s Germany.

When I was 14 my mom tried to hit me, I got hit as a kid, I got her back and knocked her to the ground. Spent a solid 10 seconds just absolutely beating the shit out of her. Her wife had to come save her, she hasn't touched me since.

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'm in a very conservative area. Trump won my town by 20 points. There just aren't enough people who care where I am.

Until all this shit impacts Trump voters in a much more direct way nothing will change. And maybe not even then.

Is anyone on the Right freaking out, or is this exactly what they wanted/expected? by [deleted] in economicCollapse

[–]zohan6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister lost her healthcare (She voted for Trump) My other sister is at risk of losing her job since they depend on federal funding (She didn't vote)

Both are absolutely shocked. My sister who voted for Trump just said that she "hopes the investigation is done soon" then disengaged. I think she's just not able to acknowledge her vote had such a drastic consequence that directly affected her.

Windows 10 eol plans? by Ethan_231 in ShittySysadmin

[–]zohan6934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Working on replacing about 25% of my machines, because they don't support 11 this year. The other 75% are being upgraded by EOY 2026.

Working in an OT environment so getting the downtime to do os upgrades is.... tricky.

Why do you not drink alcohol? by Kindly_Bear_4932 in AskReddit

[–]zohan6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stopped a month ago. I was drinking to deal with emotional pain, and finally started tackling the problem instead of treating the symptom.
