…Where do you normally pee that’s, if not peaceful, at least alone?!

I was you. I installed Mint and the only issue I had was with a hard drive that was being shared by both systems (dual booting) that had all my games on it. It was a symlink issue.

Bite the bullet. The startup time alone is worth it.

They are really soft. Don’t grab their tails.

Maybe, maybe not. If it’s a project or a paper, sure, this genie isn’t going back in the bottle so might as well acclimate. And also judge harshly for error since that’s kinda the big reason you don’t trust the things outright.

If it’s a closed book exam or some other “prove you know this” like showing your math work, then it’s an effective method of preventing cheating. More or less, bit of an arms race with that.

Oh yeah. I married my first boyfriend, though we met when I was 24 (out of the closet at 22, took a while to try dating). That stuff can work, but I’m just not gonna bet on it

Or they have a functional polycule. That is an option. I’m not betting on it by age alone, but it’s an option

The sentence structure is kinda wonky coming from English, but the vocab isn’t bad. There are tons of cognates.

I don’t disagree conceptually, but English has been a lingua franca for a long time now.

Close. It’s flea market.

It’s not that bad. It’s just German for flea market. And English speakers shouldn’t have an issue with at least “Markt”. Not far from a cognate.

Definitely better names but I think the bigger hurdle is getting the critical mass to get something like marketplace to work in the fediverse even with the perfect name.

Continue your bad faith, head in the sand vigil you dumb piece of shit.

No you aren’t

Sorry OP, we’ve got two in our home.

But then how do they praise Anoia?

To pile on: They don’t filter anything, or search anything. They are clever parrots made up of huge streaks of linear algebra. It has no understanding of anything nor interest in doing more than generating sentences that look right given a prompt. Even saying that it has ‘no understanding’ or ‘interest’ is giving it too much credit, implying intelligence or decision making capability. It’s just ridiculously vast math.

Empirical truth can only go so far. I say this as an engineer. We only have so much evidence of anything. And the first thing they started teaching in my engineering classes was how to handle unknowns. Because they are what is dealt with every day.

You’re right, nuance is everywhere and life is complicated. But asserting your only bias is toward truth is probably the biggest lie you tell yourself. I get it, I’m a big fan of capital T Truth as well and in certain fields, like science and (good) journalism, being perfectly unbiased is held as the gold standard (it’s an impossible one). And being honest with yourself is hard. But disbelieving your own biases is a great way for them to take over your life and you’ll never know.

I apologize for being harsh. Text is a blunt medium. I would just encourage you to really look at your day to day interactions and try to spot when you’re being judgemental. And you’ll miss most of it, that shit runs on autopilot and it takes practice to notice. And most importantly, don’t think that having biases is inherently bad. It’s human.

Everyone is biased and that’s ok. It’s better to know your own biases then pretend they aren’t there and be affected by them anyway.

One I like from Malazan Book of the Fallen: “I am not yet done.” The mantra of a man who’s duty it was to bear the souls of the fallen for his faith as it crushed him.

Far better description, thank you.
