Quite frankly I’m just lazy. I’ve always hated picking up my things and I’ve struggled with organization since I was a child. I think with me…my parents never really got on me about being neat and organized. So I never got into the habit. Still turned out fine! It just means I frantically clean before people come over lol.

You sound very sweet, OP. Never change. A lot of people are just miserable themselves and want company being miserable.

Sure thing! I went with the Royal Kludge M75 keyboard in this cool green pattern with their “pale green” tactile switches.
I was looking for these things really:
- Cool yet tasteful aesthetics
- A 75% form factor (no numpad, compact while retaining arrow keys and function row…I want my mouse hand to sit close to my keyboard)
- Tactile key switches (they have a satisfying tactile “bump” sensation when you press down on them, but aren’t insanely loud like “clicky” key switches)
- Something that isn’t breaking the bank
- Wireless capability
It met everything I was looking for and had some pretty good reviews, so I pulled the trigger. Keychron seems to be higher quality than some of these, but it just didn’t have the interesting color schemes I was looking for. It also seems to tend to cost more. My PC case is green so it complements it well. The tactile switches are very satisfying to type on imo!

Keychron seems to be a pretty decent keyboard brand from my minimal research when I was looking to get a new one, myself! I ultimately went with something else because I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for with them, but they were def on my shortlist.

- Comment on It would get old fast 1 week ago:
So what I suspect happens is that in newer development communities, the people building them just seem to find it easier to level/bulldoze an entire plot of land to build a neighborhood. Then they just don’t feel like putting plants and trees back in out of cost and laziness.
For older neighborhoods in the US, you’ll find a lot more foliage. I love it when I go to an older neighborhood that has large trees that canopy the area. They do exist here…it’s just that they have to be a bit older. My condo complex has some wonderful tall trees and plants everywhere. It’s not a new complex though and they seem to care more about plantife than some others do. They even randomly planted a massive tree last year for some reason lol. Seemed to require some pretty big machinery to haul it and put it in lol.

Well I mean I guess I get what you’re saying, but I don’t necessarily agree. I don’t really ever see it being pushed as a mental health tool. Rather I think the sycophantic nature of it (which does seem to be programmed) is the reason for said issues. If it simply gave the most “common” answers instead of the most sycophantic answers, I don’t know that we’d have such a large issue of this nature.

Yeah there was an article I saw on Lemmy not too long ago about how ChatGPT can induce manic episodes in people susceptible to them. It’s because of what you describe…you claim you’re God and ChatGPT agrees with you even though this does not at all reflect reality.
- Comment on Just a little... why not? 1 week ago:
Yeah, ChatGPT is incredibly sycophantic. It’s like it’s basically just programmed to try to make you feel good and affirm you, even if these things are actually counterproductive and damaging. If you talk to it enough, you end up seeing how much of a brown-nosing kiss-ass they’ve made it.
My friend with a mental illness wants to stop taking her medication? She explains this to ChatGPT. ChatGPT “sees” that she dislikes having to take meds, so it encourages her to stop to make her “feel better”.
A meth user is struggling to quit? It tells this to ChatGPT. ChatGPT “sees” how the user is suffering and encourages it to take meth to help ease the user’s suffering.
Thing is they have actually programmed some responses into it that will vehemently be against self harm. Suicide is one that thankfully even if you use flowery language to describe it, ChatGPT will vehemently oppose you.
- Comment on Just a little... why not? 1 week ago:
My friend with schizoaffective disorder decided to stop taking her meds after a long chat with ChatGPT as it convinced her she was fine to stop taking them. It went… incredibly poorly as you’d expect. Thankfully she’s been back on her meds for some time.
I think the people programming these really need to be careful of mental health issues. I noticed that it seems to be hard coded into ChatGPT to convince you NOT to kill yourself, for example. It gives you numbers for hotlines and stuff instead. But they should probably hard code some other things into it that are potentially dangerous when you ask it things. Like telling psych patients to go off their meds or telling meth addicts to have just a little bit of meth.

I have always been able to slav squat with ease, but never really been flexible enough to touch my toes. At one point in my life, I was able to do the splits but still not able to touch my toes.
Our bodies are all just different and flexible or not in different ways.

- Comment on Every last one of these questions is terrible 4 weeks ago:
Do you not understand what I’m saying?
Let’s say it asks you to pick from multiple questions.
- X
- Y
- Z
- A
- B
- C
You choose questions Y, B, and C. You answer them as none1, none2, and none3.
When you need to answer a security question, it randomly gives you question Y. But question Y is not numbered. How do you remember that the answer to question Y is none1 and not none2 or none3?

Haven’t you ever had places randomize the question order when you have to answer the. Later?
