Well done. What materials did you use?

Setting boundaries on your time with the AI, especially around sharing personal information, would be best. I don’t see anything wrong with how people spend their time so long as they set healthy limits.
Make sure you understand how AI works, too, it’s not a substitute for therapy because it’s designed to be agreeable and validating, but won’t give you feedback or suggestions.

Oh hey there, I don’t have skin in this part of the comments - just want to say I’m stealing “Is that what your bullies used to say.” Savage as hell.

I’d say it’s about that, because that is one of the things that group is about, the group that this person wants to join.

I donno man, I’m no authority on morals but all things being equal I’d rather be around someone who doesn’t share their girlfriend’s sexts with their buddies.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 3 weeks ago:
Do you believe someone can’t be internally motivated to encourage and uplift their peers, or at the very least feel guilt when they laugh at someone’s expense?
Just wondering because I was like that: I told racist jokes, had plenty of similar friends, thought trans people were fooling themselves, and anyone who challenged me was pretending to be offended. I was obviously fine because I had good life.
Then I got older, met more people, learned more stories and when my old friends made fun of the new ones, I felt off about it. Decided I would rather hang out with the people who accepted everyone, made me feel good, and were still funny, just in a different way.
I still feel awful about the things I said and did and kinda wish I had noticed the signs sooner. While I was embraced by one group, I was being excluded from others and didn’t even know it.
I donno man, live your life the way you want.

Naw, I only just got my pals into Lemmy. Glad to know there are other havens out there, though.

Not so much a bad person as someone who vehemently opposes opportunities to be better.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 3 weeks ago:
I suddenly feel better about all my group chats, it’s all gay memes, positivity and anti-capitalist revolution.

Nope. It’s because you’re trying pretty hard in this comment section.

“Politically charged” can mean almost anything, there’s a world-wide user base here.
The worst comedians are the ones who insult their audience, so be mindful your skills match your confidence.

It’s because your title doesn’t tell us what the link is for. At least give some context.
The other reason is because some people, like me, filter their feeds for preference or to preserve our sanity. Adding context helps the filters.
- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 3 weeks ago:
Indigenous people of north america. Tokenized parts of tales and folklore are often misrepresented and not told by the people who grew up learning the stories.

This is an interesting read:

Does the cafe not have a bin?
I’m not sure if it’s a thing by you, but it’s common where I live to carry your own thermos.

Fair enough, I can see how that would taint your view of the world. Admittedly, that was a time when a lot of us were poor, in a place where a lot of young people go to get away from their lives. We were all just trying to get by, so we shared what we could.
I probably wouldn’t have met mug guy, if not for the mug, and he was a delight. I say that as someone who grew up in a pretty insular, toxic, pay-your-own-way sort of family. Mug guy showed me it’s okay to ask for what you need and some people genuinely want to help you.
- Comment on What does a week of groceries look like to you? 5 weeks ago:
I thought it was interesting and uplifting to see people come together to support this guy in a fairly simple way. He just told people about his mug if they asked and didn’t belabor it from there. Even shared candy when he got it.
I worked at a restaurant, where there’s a lot of food waste, so I was happy to help someone out while he found his footing. He didn’t come back on his own, I told him to see me when I’m working.
It’s weird to spin that into a “parasitic” relationship.
- Comment on What does a week of groceries look like to you? 5 weeks ago:
For the couple months I knew him the mug with either in his hand or clipped to his bag.
I didn’t see his dates and I didn’t ask, but he came by for dinner once and ate his portion from the mug.
As far as I saw, it was a great conversation starter, he made a lot of friends and ate reasonably well.
- Comment on What does a week of groceries look like to you? 5 weeks ago:
My groceries aren’t interesting, but I had a friend who only ate what went into a mug.
He carried around a ceramic mug, either collecting free stuff or telling people about his mug to see if they’d put food in it. Free samples, a few grapes, and occasional hand outs all went into the mug. I filled it with soup when he came by.
- Comment on Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time? 5 weeks ago:
A lot of the time, asking local businesses what they can do/order for you helps a lot. Just because they don’t have it doesn’t mean they can’t get it. Some local grocers offer delivery services. If you have the time, seed money and patience, you can grow a lot of food in a small amount of space.
My cat has a special diet, too. I asked if I could use pet food from an independent brand - since it was a food allergy, just a matter of excluding chicken and grain - and the vet said it was fine.
AWS is harder to avoid, but if you have to use a service, there are other companies who will put the effort in to take part of the pie from amazon.

And he decided to give up carbs part way through.

Everything else is understandable. Cat cleaning itself, lots of mugs, sock on the floor - par for the course.
It’s the two thirds of a donut on a fork that got me.
- Comment on Can I consider myself bi or should I just say straight if I want to date women but just can’t find any that attract me? 1 month ago:
Just feel what you feel without putting a label on it. Honestly, the labeling is annoying. I tell folks I’m a person who’s into the people I like. As long as everyone is happy and consenting it shouldn’t matter what you call it.

Finally. FINALLY. My ulcer grows every time I hear someone quote that list of evil things Monsanto does. Even though yes, they are evil.

You getting downvoted for stating what’s factually correct while still disagreeing with it is classic shooting the messenger.

I send weekly complaints to the town council about how we can’t keep chickens. If people can have chickens in freaking downtown Vancouver, everyone should be able to have chickens.

From where I live I can look across the water, sighting distant shores, and declare “A mad man rules there.”

His films are classics and still fondly remembered for a good reason, he didn’t shy away from the hard life lessons. Sure, we don’t always get a happy ending, but kids deal with death, sickness, loss and bad people all the time. They need media that shows they’re not alone.

Rock-a-Doodle was the shit, so many unhinged lines for a kids movie and Goldie was definitely a prostitute. “If I killed my nephew, would that be murder or charity?”
