I propose this has the red flags for LLM created content
- No human uses the number button emojis
- Em dash with spaces used correctly. Not even an English major does this intentionally.
- Crap ass editing otherwise. Whoever hurried to give this “a human touch” also didn’t know WTF they were doing and tried to re-write the Yoga section, pooly.

Hossenfelder is fine but tries to educate way outside her realm. Her cryptocurrency episode made me lose all respect for her.

No shit. I’m at the Dr asking for PT rx and they don’t fight me one iota. I just motion at my shoulders. “They are behind me.”

Security theater, just like the TSA. They don’t need to stop bad actors, they just need to convince their shareholders that they are taking action against losses.

Fucking infuriating! This happened to my 4’11" bestie because her husband is 6’ 6". They have been called out in public so many times and had to provide they are 14 months apart in age. Funny when they were 15 and 17 but now It’s been happening for 20 years!

Yes, if all had been perfect it should have only taken about an hour but dialup internet was ditzy and unreliable so I spent a huge chunk of that weekend getting a full download.
- Comment on Anyone remember this? 1 month ago:
I sure remember the HOURS it took me to download that sucker on my 14.4kb modem. I was blessed by the gods with a parent in the computer industry even then so we had a 2nd phone line that I could monopolize for a day of agonizingly watching and praying not to lose connection again.
- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 2 months ago:
This right here.
I played 6 at launch and it was a huge downgrade from 5 but now it’s been updated so much it’s now unrecognizable from what was released as 6.
Every patch, update, and DLC will change it incrementally back into a similar experience as the others. They like to try to get real wild with the initial release but it tends to get back to the same sort of things eventually.

Thank you! I didn’t want to have to dig up the episode by hand. The YT short missed the excellent stinger that seals this joke.

Both are recoverable but the astrology daughter is much cheaper to handle. Tarot, crystals, and star charts don’t eat retirement funds.
Daughter with a Psychic, much tougher call.
- Comment on I got the money saved in my mansions safe. 2 months ago:
Doesn’t putting the $$ anywhere that’s not retrievable miss the point of having an emergency fund? It’s supposed to be liquid assets you can spend if you had to. Putting it anywhere with good returns would keep it from being available at 11:45pm on a Saturday night when the ER is demanding payment now or they won’t treat you.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 months ago:
Not 7.5 times higher though. No other factor is as big a predictor as gendered violence. Men commit violence against women and other men much, much more often than women do.
And if you are a man, you should be just as mad because the chances that you are a victim of a violent firm by another man is much higher too.
Not all men are violent, but men and women are both victims of the anger of this small-subset of men that we have been unable to identify what else they have in common beyond gender.
- Comment on Can we stop asking people who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly to sacrifice themselves for a bunch of able bodied people who refuse to stand up and sacrifice themselves for us? 2 months ago:
Its the exact same thing I tell every libertarian asshole. You are all chained dogs who think you are lone wolves, can’t survive without whatever master you serve and bark at the rest of us to “do better”.
You told OP you think less of them for the post but call me disrespectful. Get fucked.

So, you a cat? You do nothing for anyone else and pretend you don’t use any resources?
There are plenty of people who took care of your dirty ass, whoever you are. If you are still breathing, someone gave a shit enough about you at some point to stick a bottle in your mouth to keep you from starving.
Hence, no one is an island and when you pretend otherwise, you prove what a kept, babied, ignorant person you are.

This is the exact ableist attitude the OP is talking about. Getting armed and defending yourself isn’t a useful option when they don’t need to storm your house to kill you and even if they did, you might not be able to physically use the gun.
Self-defense is an ablest concept, get out there and defend one another!
- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 2 months ago:
I played Dauntless hardcore in the beta. My team and I really enjoy it and it was going to great but it went to Epic we never gave it another thought. A real pity because the combat was fun. IDK how it evolved but the chainblade started out really enjoyable.

I’m upset about this but I’m way more upset to be finding out about it from Lemmy instead of from my school district or PowerSchool directly. My Pennsylvnaia school district hasn’t said anything about this.

And have them follow to new number after number because they are one of the 100s of people who have OP’s number legitimately? Why disrupt your whole life for this asshole. Better to get them caught and be done with it.

- Comment on Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this? 4 months ago:
There’s always churn and turnover, I’ve been part of communities that lost up to 3 of the top 5 sites for something etc. and the community bounces back in a couple of months. Streaming sites aren’t horrifically difficult to set up so they will often reappear shortly with similar interface.

Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He called he was getting it repeatedly and there’s evidence he did fuck all.
He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn’t a surprise.
- Comment on Ghost jobs are wreaking havoc on tech workers 5 months ago:
As someone on the other side of this in just one private company of thousands:
I put out 2-3 job ads a month. Of those 1 will get past interviews to a negotiation phase, one will get stuck with a hiring manager who only wants to interview the perfect candidate, and one will be pulled for budget reasons and held to try again next month because the candidate for the first job asked for a little bit more money. We hire about half of the people who make it to negotiations.
My feeling is it’s that no one has any money to spend. Every company I can think of is desperately waiting to get paid so they can pay their own bills. Most contracts with the government were horribly delayed by the shutdowns last year and it’s been knock-on effects ever since.

- Comment on Trickle down 5 months ago:
I was taking control of a big department in a non-profit where funds were tight but I had a lot of flexibility so I read a book about how to reward employees instead of money. I was hoping for non-tangible rewards like first pick of schedule or Employee of the Month type stuff.
Every single suggestion in the book was something that needed money to be spent first but not given to the employee. It had a whole chapter about how giving cash was rude and terrible and your employees would hate you for it so you had to give gift cards or worthless garbage to give them instead.
This was nonsense advice. Nothing motivates like cash. In the end I just taped my own $20 bills to the back of the ‘Certificates of Achievement’ I have for good work and warned them it was a personal gift and not from the org.
