• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. How does one deal with grief or loss in a safe way without turning to alcohol or drugs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Weep.
  Take your time.
  Talk about it.
  Repeat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we estimate the size of the Internet ? If so, what size would it be (in GB, TB or whatever) ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  42 of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do "pirates" go about getting their username uploaded with a torrent? Like Fitgirl or NoSteam or something? How do they become big and famous? Can the average joe do this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No fame there. Just pretending

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you fear for children's future with social media growing even more?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In general yes.

  But I am glad that mine are quite strong in this regard. I do not fear for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the most suggestive "out of context" public conservation piece you've ever heard?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  o.m.g. you are right.

  What a negius…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Female approached by man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you got up. Point made. No reason to fear anymore.

  I would not exactly answer to what he said, but say a different thing, maybe like “You want to sit here?” (polite on the surface, stating the obvious, but implicitly putting the focus on on his action, not yours)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the net positive of Eugenics out weigh the negative? How so?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Watch better films.

  Do not believe all that they tell you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the net positive of Eugenics out weigh the negative? How so?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When so many people become murderers, what is your “net positive”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you able to tell which language is which by looking?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No because it is too small and my eyes aren’t that good anymore :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If your city has terrible tap water, how do you fight for better tap water?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Create some motivation.

  Go to all supermarkets and talk to them about it and convince them NOT to sell any bottled water or any other bottled drinks anymore to the city mayor and all his family and all his staff, because THEY SHOULD DRINK THEIR TAP WATER.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In AI terms it is called “agent” but in social media terms it is called “bot”. For this topic they are the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I’m confused. Thoroughly.

  Either you haven’t read more than the first line of my explanations… or your attempt at clarification has made your real question even more unclear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we assume that an edited post or comment wad made by a human? Kinda curious if the edit flag implies ‘human’ now?

  Good 2 questions.

  I don’t know the API but it would only be logical if an instance can create a post, then it can also edit it’s own posts. Therefore: No, you cannot know it for sure.

  OTOH I am pretty sure that current bots don’t do that. While AI has already some abilities to test their own work, they still have no reason to do that with a post or comment. Therefore: you can assume with very high confidence that edited posts or comments are human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Nadal Hassan's execution being livestreamed? What makes him so special? Why not other people's execution's live streamed? What Jared Loughner? Or Bryan Kohbeger?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that murderer enjoyed killing people.

  Maybe that secretary of war enjoys the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Google win the search engine war?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This. And lightspeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I tell my co-workers I'm not attending a wedding without creating drama?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, grow up and go to the wedding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I tell my co-workers I'm not attending a wedding without creating drama?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Try harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those of you with LineageOS and rely on F-Droid/FOSS apps, how do you make extra money without gig apps like DoorDash?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Make night shifts in places where nobody likes to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do men leggings also push up your butt like women's do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a movie about it:

  “Men in tights” by Mel Brooks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I master Chess?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  despite my slow ‘calculated’ moves.

  You cannot learn it good by just trying on your own.

  Chess needs theory, and practising. Lots of both. Look for real physical books, or text tutorials, but not youtube, because you are going to do it in your own time then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if all White House staff quit (not the political staff, but the cooks, cleaners, etc.)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly silence …

  But also some shouting by some very mad people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do creatives maintain relevance because lay people can't edit AI generated works?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, some have more artistic abilities than others. That is not strictly the same as creativity, because most of it is craftsmanship. Learning and practising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do creatives maintain relevance because lay people can't edit AI generated works?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you say “creatives” but think “making money”, then no really meaningful answer is possible.

  We should rather talk about creativity itself. While current AI is just generators, it becomes obvious that they must lack creativity. So creativity is one of the things that fundamentally separates humans from AI. Creativity will endure. Creatives will always be there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Send them to grammar school

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I move out?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried to repair things with these people, but majority of the time I don’t think I do anything wrong. I know I may come off as ignorant, but I whenever I cut somebody off majority of the time I explain why in a respectful way without arguing with them.

  I did that with somebody recently and they ended up telling everybody I tried to sexually abuse them, which obviously didn’t happen.

  Most of them have had me blocked since high school and yet they still have things to say about me to the people I know today.

  I’m having a hard time trying to find out for what purpose you have written exactly this as an answer to my (attempted) advice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I move out?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to hate either people in general, or life in general.

  If you move, you are not going to take these Australian people with you. But you are going to take your own attitude with you.

  I am a huge fan of the principle to always repair only there where it needs repairing, but not try to repair things that aren’t even broken. (My knee surgeon and my dentist share the same opinion, btw).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you replace the beef patty in hamburger with a think slice of ham does that make it more or less a hamburger?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s got nothing to do with ham.

  Does that mean porcelain isn’t for pork either?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  unmanned store

  It’s easy if you are a woman

  Go to Italy and see some people who are doing it for real.
