- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 2 hours ago:
Yep, I was gonna say, as a child of the 70s/early 80s, I was a totally unsupervised latch-key kid. The paedophiles loved that. It was a predator’s paradise. Most of us knew kids our age who either vanished or died by misadventure.
I don’t like helicopter parenting, either, but anyone who sees the Wild West of the 80s as some sort of ideal either has a faulty memory or is deluding themselves.

Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.

Being delicious one time works, since everyone else in your tribe can see what delicious gets you.

This was nearly 30 years ago. I hope they don’t still make that assumption. Back then, they didn’t even ask. If I hadn’t stopped them, they would have just done it as a matter of routine. I really hope that’s changed now, and I’m curious if people who have had kids more recently in the US have a different experience. I hope so.

The hospital did this with my son, too.
I’d already told them before he was born we weren’t having them circumcised, but a nurse showed up the morning after to take him, and I’m glad I was awake, because they weren’t going to ask me. I groggily asked ‘where are you taking him?’ as she was walking away (I figured it was for blood work), and she said, ‘oh, you’re up? For his circumcision’. ‘No, no, we’re not doing that.’ She put him back in the crib.
They just assumed, and then it showed up on my bill. Took months to get the charge removed.
I’m not religious, and we don’t need to routinely mutilate baby penises, thanks.

He looks like licking him would let me see sooooo many colours. Why tasty look of not tasty?
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Yeah. I talked to him (virtually).
I’m mostly wondering where he went.

Oh shit, we can do this?

Would you prefer the police and fire department were privately run?
It would be the same service, with the same employees and facilities.

Right?
Most people just pay it out of obligation, and the occasional nerd calls us out politely.
Her, whatever will we do?
- Comment on A boating ticket from the 1950’s. “No lights on boat. No beer on boat. Only one blonde.” 3 weeks ago:
Eh, I (natural blonde) was never offended by these jokes.
One of my favourites:
A blonde is driving down the motorway when she spots another blonde in a boat in a wheat field, rowing with all her might but getting nowhere. Angered by the situation, she pulls over to give her a piece of her mind.
‘You idiot!’ she shouts. ‘You’re giving all us blondes a bad name! If I could swim, I’d come out there and kick your arse!’ - Comment on A boating ticket from the 1950’s. “No lights on boat. No beer on boat. Only one blonde.” 3 weeks ago:
As a blonde, is this one per person or per boat? Do all us blondes need to fight to the death on the dock? Will there be betting? Can I bet if I participate? So many questions.

It isn’t fair. They have a lot to answer for.
Those rings in our wheat aren’t enough, the bastards. Most of us do t even speak wheat rings anymore.

Sounds like a property crime.
- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 4 weeks ago:
Oof.
I live in a 120 year old house and had several rooms violated by the worst fake pictures-of-wood that was glued down with industrial adhesive, and with many patches with terrible wood in conspicuous places.
There’s no way to make my wood look goood naked.
Yours is gorgeous. Thanks.

Pic of your floorboards? Sorry if that’s too forward.
- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 4 weeks ago:
Now I’m picturing a sort of reverse cargo cult situation in which the aliens, after a generation or so, think this is expected as a sort of human greeting.
It seems weird, but it always starts good relations, so…
- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 4 weeks ago:
Most people who report such an experience seem to have been relatively uninjured.

I feel like you’re overthinking this. These are people who buy crystal-infused drinking cups to reset their personal feng shui. (Spoiler: it’s just glitter.)
I really wish I didn’t have morals. It’s so easy to make money if you’re willing to fleece people.

Of all the dystopian things, this is probably the most dystopian thing I’ve read lately.
This is horrible.

Neat. Good luck protecting yourself from this.
On the other hand, I’m seriously considering opening an Etsy shop selling foil-lined clothes. I’m pretty good at sewing. What do you think?

Good, then I don’t expect us to be ‘family’, since my family would understand that treating me like shit would ruin our relationship.
Soooooo…

Thank you. I’ve only heard ‘generative’ but I’ve not really kept up with the tech until the past few years since it wasn’t much of a thing before that.

You’re very good at explaining things, thanks.

Gotcha.

‘AGI’ means ‘Artificial Generative Intelligence’, which is a fancy name used for LLMs by marketers and techbros.
Or did you mean something else?
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 1 month ago:
I mean to friends and family – people who have accepted it as smart.
I don’t know about you, but when I try to explain the concept of LLMs to people not in the tech field, their eyes glaze over. I’ve gotten several family members into VR, though. It’s an easier concept to understand.
