- Comment on According to an MIT study, relying on ChatGPT for stuff like essays and creativity leads to cognitive atrophy and such. What should I do when writing stories without ChatGPT and other AI chatbots? 3 days ago:
I am not a writer myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but it might be better to just start writing things down in a short framework, even if elements of the story are missing or incomplete. Like you may think about a specific scene/situation so you can jot that down, then you might write something like “there would be a problem that caused X character to be here” just to have a placeholder so later you can come back and replace it with something.
Also consider that studies have shown physical activity can help stimulate your mind. So maybe go for a walk to think about your story or what you want from it
- Comment on How do people force themselves to write something, even if they're NOT inspired? 3 days ago:
Inspiration and motivation can be fleeting in all aspects of life, and so discipline can be more reliable.
Some progress is better than no progress.

Ragebait is a type of trolling, shitposting is more in the realm of stupid/silly humor

The point is that NVIDIA decided to inject AI slop into their product and in that single move ruined their entire reputation in my eyes. I dont need a cozy game AI-Slopified into “photo realism” especially when its the AI version of that, a style that is distinct and offensive to me.
Any modders using AI like this are also modders whos content Ill never download or support. Its pretty simple, I dont want any slop in my games. I dont want to pay for slop in my games. Anyone asking me to do so gets written off.

“You only stopped scrolling because the thumbnail promised tits.”
No, I stopped because I was curious how the image in the thumbnail caused anyone problems. Considering how high the contrast is I didnt see how anyone would actually recognize the woman in the image without being told it was her. However the actual article shows an entirely different woman in different images that are more explicit and clear.

- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 5 weeks ago:
Only if hiding it is an attempt to deceive. So simply not telling your boss you hate them would not be a lie by itself. Being truthful does not require you to go out of your way to offer information.
The real summary here for an answer to OP is “no, its not really possible to be a successful lawyer without lying” because even small lies are kind of important to social etiquette as others have noted. People often say lies of omission dont count as lies, so I wanted to address that angle. A lie of omission requires deception. For example if you hate the flavor of bananas, but dont go around telling everyone you hate the taste of bananas, that is not a lie.
- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 5 weeks ago:
Not true. The key is the intent and attempt to deceive. Forgetting to include info or being aware of it means you did not intend to deceive.
- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 5 weeks ago:
Thats why the requirement for omission to be a lie is that there is an intent to deceive.
- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly
- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 5 weeks ago:
Deceit through misinformation or hiding information.
- Comment on Would it be possible to have a successful career as a lawyer and never lie? 5 weeks ago:
No because even avoiding answering can be a lie. A lie of omission.
The key being that you are hiding some detail or information in an attempt to deceive, that is what makes it a lie.

I strongly suspect the whole thing is guerilla marketing. I truly do not care if a ceo likes the food his company makes. Memes like this are just part of the marketing

I can understand that. As I get older I do consider more and more how some people have health issues and just arent aware of it until something drastic happens. This isnt really even specific to bathtubs, just at any time its possible to have a seizure or pass out, among a million other possibilities

A bathtub drowning is one of the leading causes of death in a bathtub. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how reliable the drowning-related signs could be for identifying a bathtub drowning in the cases of death in the bathtub. Performing a retrospective review of 92 deaths in the bathtub in Maryland, 71.7 percent were the presence of bathtub drowning and 28.3 percent were the absence of bathtub drowning. Three leading contributory causes of death were cardiovascular disease, drug/alcohol-related death, and seizure disorder in both groups. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in relation to a history of recovery from the water (95.5% and 38.4%, p<0.001), foam in the air way (33.3% and 15.4%, p<0.05), watery fluid in the sphenoid sinuses (81.8% and 11.5%, p<0.05), hyperinflated lungs (36.4% and 3.8%, p<0.01), and watery fluid in the stomach contents (40.9% and 3.8%, p<0.01). More than triple overlapped drowning-related signs could be beneficial for the diagnosis of a bathtub drowning. A comprehensive investigation incorporating a thorough scene investigation, gathering of the victim’s medical and psychosocial history, and a meticulous full autopsy is necessary to elucidate both the cause and manner of death in these cases of death in the bathtub.
So there are usually contributing factors like age, alcohol/drugs, or other medical issues. So ask yourself this: Can you be certain that you will never have a medical issue in a bathtub that might lead to you drowning? Have you ever bathed while drunk or high?

Possibly, but you might just pass out and drown. Theres also something called Dry Drowning where you get enough water in your lungs that you slowly suffocate, even when not in the water any more. Its about minimizing risks. Sleeping in the tub increases your risk of drowning.
