I like big hairy tits.

  • One’s obligation to engage with someone disliked is set by what’s required by the relationships one values.

    Jump

  • If there's someone you don't like, you only have to deal with them as much as your other relationships need you to.

    Your MIL is awful -> engage with her only as much as your spouse expects you to.

    If she's a total bitch and your spouse expects you to be besties and you can't talk it out -> re-evaluate your relationship

    What kind of people you have around you determine what kind of people you're expected to put up with.

    What is important to you determines what kind of people you have around you.

  • It makes sense to support whatever system that one knows from experience to support the kind of life one thinks is worthwhile

  • This guy always blocks everyone that shows him he's wrong about something.

  • MeetEU is holding a talk about a "European Public Social Network" 15 minutes from now Finished. Would the Fediverse be relevant?

    Jump

  • Definitely hope it's on Fediverse on some level.

  • In this modern world of AI, with devices everywhere having microphones, is it even safe to satirically joke and banter with a friend anymore?

    Jump

  • Yes

    Also quite literally go touch grass. Take a friend with you. Don't take devices if you're worried.

  • The more freedom you want for everyone, the more you need to be willing and able to care for yourself

  • The point is to think for yourself.

  • What instances are the most frequent on your user block list?

    Jump

  • An average hard-line lefty instance that's pretending to be Anarchist, except that they don't actually follow Anarchist ideals and the admins decide what kind of Anarchism is "real Anarchism". The only flavor difference from most (Lefty) instances is that they welcome AI generated stuff, which is overwhelmingly hated on Lemmy.

    My favorite part is how their own Golden Rules conflict with their own Code of Conduct, not to mention their admins blatantly do not follow either. It's hardly surprising you have a lot of them blocked.

  • If people can’t afford to do anything, then they don’t have freedom.

    Jump

  • Are we going to have yet another round of "everyone should be free to do whatever they want except set up groups with mutual interests"? People want some magical force in the universe, beyond human conventions, that prevents any person or group from gaining power over another.

  • I work as a cleaner. Just regular apartment building hallways and the like. Yes, I think it's important - they had me work through Covid. I also know what it looks like when there's nobody to clean for a few days. Pay is poor but I can listen to podcasts and audiobooks in peace so it's chill enough. I am proud of the work though. I hadn't thought about the impact of custodian work before I started doing it myself and realized how big of a difference it makes. I get by with my pay because I don't have kids but my workmates definitely struggle. It should pay more.

  • Do you feel that use of generative AI and LLMs is ever justifiable? If so, when and where? If not, why not?

    Jump

  • I don't agree with the use but at least you're keeping it private. Not gonna crucify you because I understand the appeal. I'd encourage you to find a way to pay for it though, or even just start making a donation to some environmental cause as a way of off-setting.

  • I think anything with text generation is fine. Your multiple Google searches are highly likely to eat more resources than that. Also, fuck Google, use Ecosia. But when I suspect an answer isn't one quick search away, I happily rather use Le Chat for answers, than give Reddit traffic, or have to wade through the shite that is Fandom, Wikia or whatever. Not to mention using AI helps me get past the issue of having to check multiple sites for an answer, just to find that the answer is "Google it" or "Nvm, solved it". Some of you fuckers did this.

    However people need to understand that an AI is exactly as fallible as any person. Yes, it has access and capability to handle way more data but between trying to please you and just it getting it's wires crossed, it's going to make mistakes. YOU need to be able to assess the accuracy of the output. The more important the topic, the more careful you need to be and always assume that the possibility of error is there no matter how hard you try - JUST LIKE WITH ANY BIT OF INFORMATION. I see so many people cite academic articles like they prove whatever claim they are making, just to see that the study in question was funded by The Company That Wants to Prove The Claim and sample size was 3 people who work for The Company That Wants to Prove The Claim. At least AI has a small chance of pointing the issue out if YOU yourself tell it to be critical - and I actually suspect this is part of the reason some people hate AI. They don't like that it absolutely can be more intellectually rigorous than a person with an emotional investment in whatever they want to be true. Yes, you can have an AI asspat your grandest delusions but if you actually try to get it to be critical, it will be. You can use a hammer to hit people, or you can use it on a nail as intended (and how many times you hit your own fingers is on you, not the hammer).

    I would draw a line on artwork, videos, music. While I'm not going to crucify actual artists using AI assistance to take out some tedium from a project, I still wouldn't encourage it. Stolen artwork to train AI is one thing and the environmental impact is VASTLY greater than just text. Generating one AI image can use as much energy as even a 1,000 text responses. I would also really like to be able to completely opt out of AI slop in media sites. I fucking hate that Soundcloud allows it.

    And a last point on AI text responses: if you saw the rise of alt-right and the anti-vaxx stuff, you probably are familiar with gish galloping and Brandolini's Law. If not, you really fucking should be. AI can make it so much easier to debunk misinformation. YES it can make it easier to perpetuate too but this is where we see the AI weapons race. Bad actors can AND WILL use AI to fill any void with their rhetoric. If you value truth and facts and want to prevent misinformation from spreading you are gimping yourself if you're not using AI.

  • This whole DB0 vs. feddit.org situation is a joke. They’re using their "Anarchist Code of Conduct" to justify the exact kind of tribalist garbage it was supposed to stop.

    The Code says you can’t disrespect or exclude people just for being part of some "unfavorable group." That got binned fast. Like you say, they're not even showcasing Feddit hosting Zionism, they're showcasing them removing hate-speech which aligns with their own damn Code of Conduct. The hypocrisy couldn't be more palpable.

    That "democratic vote" is a joke too. The admins didn’t present a fair debate, they framed it as "Do you stand with the oppressed or with the fascists?" They loaded the language with terms like "Zionist bar problem" and "genocide apologia" to make sure the answer was obvious. That’s not democracy. That’s manipulation. That's blatant fucking propaganda.

    It’s like they think anarchism means "do what we say or you’re the real fascists." Actually that's exactly what they think.

  • No. I ideally don't even see their faces. I'm not getting to know a person, I'm just looking for some visual stimulation.

  • Did you drink alcohol when you were younger than me?

    Jump

  • Got drunk plenty of times underage. Age 14 onwards about. Had my fun, decided the hangovers weren't worth it when I was around 20 and only occasionally get drunk anymore (and do my best to mitigate the hangover). Might have a drink sometimes and pretend it's a cool adult thing to do or something, but I don't really care for it. Never felt like "I need a drink" or felt any desire for a "refreshing" beer or a cider. I rather have a soda. I'm happy to try cocktails and things like that for novelty but don't really care for the taste of alcohol itself.

    I drink if I'm with my family for a prolonged period of time. It's this careful maintenance of that very specific stage of mild drunkenness where I can stay jovial but not too open, and can sober up easily before bed.

    I'm happy to get drunk in good company but yeah, I drink a lot of water and try to make sure to get properly drunk early with shots and then maintain with beer etc. so I can start sobering up before bed. I really hate laying in bed when drunk.

    Somehow I do seem to have a pretty good tolerance for alcohol but I think it's mainly because I track my state of drunkenness very carefully and drink either shots (or wine, but she's a treacherous bitch), beer or water depending on how it's going.

  • How do you like to get your spirituality?

    Jump

  • This you?

    Not that I disagree but funny to see you be first in line to support an authority.

  • The only difference between a monster and a decent human being is the privilege of a support network.
