  Lol. I am vaccinated, but what the fuck do I remember when I got it? It wears off.

  You can lose your fingers within hours of a cat bite. I don’t think it makes me a hypochondriac to follow the literal, recommended health guidelines of an industrialized country, but either way, better safe than sorry.

  No, I just think you made a low-value contribution. I am not angry. I don’t want to argue about it further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re going way too far and jumping to conclusions that are frankly quite unhinged. I have very little desire to engage with this because you’re raging, but just to be clear I use LLMs for many tasks and I think they’re a great tool.

  However, you’re misusing it by having it write an essay for a forum post, and I’m pretty confident that it’s not received well by pretty much anyone else either. Literally anyone on here can easily produce what you posted by prompting any free LLM - so what value exactly are you adding here?

  Posting links to good sources is always welcome. Pasting excerpts from websites or books, with citation, is great. You can ask an LLM to help you ground your post in facts with sources, or clean up your writing, fine. But yeah, I don’t think it’s a huge ask to expect users to contribute their own thoughts on a forum. I’m interested in what you have to say, and I won’t apologize for that.

  This is likely why the Chinese appear to be more positive to AI. They’re not forced to use AI for ridiculous tasks and they’re not as worried that AI will displace them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, we can also ask an LLM just like you did, we’re fully capable of that. But this is a forum for humans. That’s why it’s expected that everyone write their own posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, if the objective was to bait the USA into wars that would consume it then he definitely won.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat vs Dog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not worried about rabies, I’m worried about tetanus or other bacterial infections and yes, I’m going to rinse the wound but I’m not going to risk it.

  Nurse. Shot. Easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat vs Dog⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what use vet visits are here? Why would I risk anything if my hand has been bit deep enough to draw blood, even if it’s my own cat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat vs Dog⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Better safe than sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cat vs Dog⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah nah if I’m ever bit by a cat (so that it draws blood, not just friendly nibbles) it’s straight to the hospital. Not fucking around with that shit.

  Luckily there are multiple functioning health care systems around the world to take inspiration from.

  I was like “holy shit these hipster lemmings and their cathode ray tube TVs”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That should not be the message. Socialized health care is cheaper by far than the premium-on-health model that you’re using in the United States.

  It’s the same argument that Republicans have been using to extract concessions from Canada and Europe: “look at these freeloaders, they won’t pay their fair share for defense and they use the money for socialized health care, we ought to teach them a lesson.”

  The truth is that defense or foreign aid isn’t in the same league as health care. You’re giving Israel about 7 billion a year, and don’t get me wrong - that’s a lot and you should stop it. But you’re spending 5.3 trillion on health care. Meanwhile, the record-setting defense budget for 2026 is 718 billion - and interestingly the vast majority of that budget *is actually socialized health care - with 441 billion going to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

  With socialized health care, you could pay a lot less. And I hope you’d use the money for literally anything other than war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Delhi - during lockdown vs now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I never said that nobody should ever work from home. I fully agree that working from home should be an option, and I think there are multiple good ways to do it. Might be you can do half the day from home, or as you suggested 2/5 days from home.

  I’m just saying that the demand that workplaces should basically be deserted as senior workers work almost entirely remotely is unsustainable. New people aren’t going to actually learn how to do their jobs properly that way. And I don’t think most people want to spend their lives at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Delhi - during lockdown vs now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  See here’s the thing. The commute doesn’t need to be that bad. A country with developed infrastructure can get you to your job on foot or by bicycle in 5-10 minutes.

  I know I sound like your manager, because managers get talking points that have been distilled for them by consultants, that have picked out the reasonable and good arguments for their position, and then they corrupt it for their own agenda. But I am not your manager, and I’m not some “extrovert” either. I’m just someone who doesn’t want to interact with other people only through a screen and only at designated times, i.e. a normal person.

  When I talk organization, I don’t mean organizing the work, by the way. I mean: organizing the anti-work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Delhi - during lockdown vs now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if everyone in a workplace is almost always working from home, there’s basically no way for new people to get into the job. I know that commutes can be brutal in some parts of the world, but maybe you should fix that instead of putting on the bandaid that everyone should just work remotely.

  You do get a lot more done by actually interacting with your colleagues. Plus it can be pretty nice as well. We should expect it to be nice to go to work and interact with the people who do the same job. If it’s not nice, something is wrong and we should fix it.

  Also, if we don’t see our colleagues, how in the fuck are we going to organize?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This sandwich⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I think you’re right, that’s probably what they were going for.

  So Swedish meatballs is served with “brunsås” (literally “brown sauce”) which is a gravy or roux made from the leftover fat in the pan after you’re done cooking the meatballs. I’ve never seen anyone do a white roux for meatballs. This is then served with boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, pickled cucumber and often steamed carrots.

  The gravy is however never served on a meatball sandwich! That’s a completely different thing. Another user mentioned that it’s supposed to come with a beetroot salad, which I’m personally not a fan of, but it would be weird if a “Swedish Meatball Sandwich” was anything other than that.

  In general though I’m fine with people taking creative liberties with food, but you’ll have to put some heart into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This sandwich⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I did have a really hard time finding good bread when I visited the USA, but I’m sure there are excellent bakeries if you know where to look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rich people don't understand us at all.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s not. These ridiculous things can barely walk or fill a glass of water outside of highly controlled settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas. Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 (yes), New Vegas. Elden Ring. Subnautica.

  Try making San Andreas linear and you would instantly destroy one of the best games ever made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This sandwich⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a Swedish person I have no idea what that white goo is. I wouldn’t touch it, and also I wouldn’t touch that bread.

  The biggest tell for me is the gradient on the smoke cloud. Kids tend to hyperfocus on small sections at a time and oversaturate when coloring.

  I find it a bit surprising that almost every major country is mapped to Pangea. Notably Iran is split down the Zagros mountain range.

  Thank you. I don’t give a shit about this weirdo and nobody I know even knows who he is. I’m here because I’m trying to get away from tabloids and TV and media that talk about irrelevant nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If there is an obvious connection, it should be simple enough to explain it. If the assumption is that misunderstandings happen due to variances in brain wiring, I think that’s a sidenote rather than the generic explanation fot the phenomenon OP described. What OP tried to say is that misunderstandings happen due to biases - and we all have biases - and they wanted to shut down misunderdtandings politely before it derails the thread.

  The issue I’m taking is that you’re claiming something and it’s unclear what, saying that whatever it is should rrmain mysterious because of differences in brain wiring, because you’re autistic. Meanwhile, OP is autistic and so am I. We’re all fucking autistic. The irony is that this is derailing the thread.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You made a weird connection to autism that was unrelated to the post. You were asked to clarify the connection, and gave the example that “neurotypicals” rely on “unclear” communication. The connection is still ambiguous, you did not provide evidence, and now you’re being an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brexit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how it works in the UK, but in Sweden there’s a pretty steep progression for doctors and nurses where performance translates to better titles, schedules and significantly better pay. A specialist nurse is quite well compensated.

  They don’t necessarily need to print more money for inflation to happen. Cost of living can go up for many reasons. Inflation is basically devaluation of savings.
