Congrats on that btw, it’s those things that give me a tiny shred of hope in humanity.

But the “uneducated” part is not necessary, come on. Just because someone on the other side of the planet has probably not investigated the finer details of your domestic politics such as what social media platform was used to organise protests?

I have only heard some old-fashioned sailors and marketing people call it Dacron, everybody else has settled on polyester

At least the man who provides the documentation is huge.

Huh, what exactly are you using? I tried to run home assistant’s, well, assistant, and qwen 2.5 3B just didn’t properly call any tools. And bigger models become pretty slow on my ryzen 2400 “thinclient” home server. I’ve tried it via Ollama, even did some dirty hacks to use the iGPU, but that’s about the size that I can run without waiting a minute for a simple prompt.

I tend to be dumb as a brick, and even when I’m not, I’d rather have a polite “no thanks” than wondering what if.

Hey, you can show mutual connections, even check their CV for suspicious gaps and given how fucked up half the people on there are, they’ll probably tell you their private and political opinions!

Sweet home Alabama, where the sky is so blue…

Change the names and dates, or just tell a story “you heard from a friend”. Obviously don’t dox anyone, including yourself.

I bought a cheap 8" tablet on eBay many years ago, and really liked using it for college. Then when my regular laptop broke and I had some money, I went for one of those 13" Yoga thinkpads, thinking it would replace both the tablet and the aging laptop.

In the 7 or so years since I bought it, I can count the number of years that I used it on two hands. I’ve used the shitty old 2013 dell tablet more than the touch screen / pen input on the laptop. It mostly lives in a docking station on my desk, or gets used as a regular laptop. It’s just too big to be used as a tablet, period. Cool concept, wasn’t worth the extra money for me.

Also, you have to wonder what else they’ll lie about for sex. Good way to catch something more serious, or become a parent. Not worth the risk, regardless of gender. Better rub one out and move on than ruin your life.

Probably someone who is into kinky stuff, but very much in the closet. I know because I kind of was the same. I hope for her and her future lovers that she realises and reads the right stuff and is able to live out her fantasy in a healthy way with someone who is into that, too.

Full-time is rare. But as far as I know, the stereotypical backpacking locations are still full of unwashed backpackers

Clearly the AI thinks you need therapy, financial advice and lectures on how to sell yourself better. Interestingly, I feel like it might be up to something… I know I wouldn’t say no to that :)

But then, I’d rather hump an anthill than date a finance person, so maybe not.

Hah! You obviously have never heard of SSTV!

No need to get all racist, mate

Honestly? At this point, I’d rather verify with dick pics than with my face. My dick looks pretty generic, I doubt there is a national dick pic database, and you cannot easily identify me with my dick pick in the street. Really, the privacy-focussed compromise is taking a picture of your junk.

We’ve gone soft as a society, I tell you! If science cannot progress without kidnapping a guy from Sentinel Island and giving him psychosis, then that is a sacrifice I am willing to make!

I found I am way more likely to experience weird, nightmare-ish bs if I sleep on my back, or when I drank some alcohol. Maybe there are factors that control it for you as well.

There is a really interesting experiment there, right? I guess we have all watched or heard of Matrix, wondered what if everything is a simulation, and seen code somewhere. What if you take a guy from some backwater place who has never seen any code, give the poor guy DMT and shine a laser at a wall? Is it a thing we imagine because the brain is wired that way? Or because we are culturally primed to imagine this? A guy who has never driven a car probably won’t have that classic “car with no/broken brakes” dream either, right? .

Almost got eaten by a bear in my dream tonight, I didn’t even get a near-death experience out of it, just trying to fend off an angry bear with a pole I found. Man :(
