Fake: anon runs a successful business with thousands to spare
Gay: anon draws dicks all day
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The whole “le wrong generation” thing is kind of a fallacy because being alive now allows you to enjoy all the pop culture that has gone before and today’s pop culture too. We’re in a win-win situation being alive now.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 1 week ago:
5% of the population is probably the max that would be interested in a parade/march
- Comment on Anon watches a romance movie 1 week ago:
Can’t remember that but I need to re-watch it since the whole film is pretty fuzzy in my mind
- Comment on Anon watches a romance movie 1 week ago:
If I remember Casablanca right she doesn’t actually knowingly cheat on her husband at any point. The woman has a relationship with Rick when she believes her husband to be dead before the events of the movie that we hear about 2nd hand. Then in the movie Rick helps her and her husband escape Casablanca.
- Comment on Don't know shit in class 1 week ago:
It’s similar to the Key & Peele bank robbery sketch
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 1 week ago:
Trump wasn’t giving him the policies/legislation he was asking for that would put his businesses at an advantage. Additionally Elon was unhappy with the tarrifs. Lastly, they both have large and delicate egos.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 1 week ago:
I’d say it would be the implication that trans people are disabled which is the most problematic part of the disabled toilet suggestion. In terms of practicalities I don’t think there are enough trans people in the UK to cause significant queues at disabled toilets.
- Comment on Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian? 1 week ago:
“Sophistry” is a negative word btw. Didn’t think I’d need to clarify that but here we are.
- Comment on Why is Jordan Peterson both a Christian and not a Christian? 1 week ago:
A lot of the New Atheists (and adjacent intellectuals) are doing this type of sophistry where they’ve doubled back on their old positions and claimed to be “culturally christian”. It’s partially an admission that they are uncomfortable with the direction secular, progressive society has taken in the past 20 years or so.

Yeah this is the best possible outcome for a stoner lol
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 2 weeks ago:
I believe it is like long term use of months or years which can be bad when coming off because it can feel like stopping anti-depressants at the same time as stopping opiates.
I am familiar with the constipation from those types of meds too. Not pleasant!
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 weeks ago:
This will resolve OPs problem by moving them to prison but their mother will still be in trouble.
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 weeks ago:
This is the best idea in the thread and will yield immediate results. If the neighbour is unwell enough to harass a random family then getting them committed might actually be doing them a favour.

If you own the house, and you live in the UK, then bear in mind you legally need to disclose formal disputes with neighbours when selling the property.
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 2 weeks ago:
You should do whatever you want to. Don’t let your mother guilt trip you into cutting off a family member due to beef she has with him (regardless of whether it’s justified).
It’s frustrating to hear about parents treating their children like pawns in a break-up. I can see the temptation but it’s extremely unfair. Regardless of what people will tell you on lemmy/reddit losing contact with a parent is not a normal thing, even if some people have cut off their family members in extreme circumstances.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 2 weeks ago:
Tramadol is quite nasty to come off as well because it functions like a combination of SSRI with opiod effects on your brain. I think it’s the mu-opiod receptors as opposed to the normal opiod ones so more similar to kratom in that respect too.

- Comment on With The Wild Robot, Chris Sanders finally set computer animation free 2 weeks ago:
I wasn’t a huge fan of it but I reckon if you have kids you’ll get a lot out of it. Seemed targeted at parents specifically.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve got a degerative disease called Anklyosing Spondylitis, bit of a tongue twister but also my pelvis is splintering due to arthritus associated with the condition so very painful. I find dicofenac works pretty well for flare ups but sometimes I’ll switch over to booze if I’m going out since that works better. NB: I don’t mix booze with the NSAID if I can avoid it, might just intersect at the tail end.
Opiates work better for the pain too but that’s a whole other can of worms I try to avoid opening.

- Comment on Michael Bay Denies "Skibidi Toilet" Movie? 3 weeks ago:
Usually sympathetic to the contrarian perspective but Skibidi Toilet is basically a youtube poop. I don’t see how it can be source material for anything.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 3 weeks ago:
There is a classic study where they asked LLM systems some nonsense questions when academics were first getting their hands on them and there were some great ones. More details about it here but it’s behind a paywall I’m afraid. Will post an excerpt -

- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 3 weeks ago:
Last time I used one, I was trying to get help writing a custom naming strategy for a Java ObjectMapper. Mostly written python in my career so just needed the broad strokes of it to be filled in.
It gave me some example code that looked plausible but in actuality was the exact inverse of how you are supposed to implement it. Took me like a day and a half to debug it; reckon I could have written it in an afternoon by going straight to the documentation.
- Comment on Techno feudalism, here we come 3 weeks ago:
Have any other devs tried using LLMs for work? They’ve been borderline useless for me.
Also the notion of creating a generation of devs who have no idea what they are writing and no practice of resolving problems “manually” seems insanely dumb.

Wait until you find out who Chris-chan is!
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 3 weeks ago:
I am self-aware enough to know I would not cope with this well. I can’t imagine having to share my partner’s attention with something else in the relationship. Likewise, I enjoy focusing all my energies on her and her well-being.
There’s just no room for a baby. We had to have all these discussions before we got married obviously. Door left slightly ajar for adoption when we are in our 40s if we happen to have a change of heart in the next 10 years.
- Comment on Common British L 3 weeks ago:
Deep fried Mars bars taste better when you are not eating them, if that makes any sense. The anticipation is good, eating it is pretty gross, then after you are tempted to get another one.
