You can only decide what you yourself do. Yep that’s one of those truths that you only get once you experience it. The saying I personally use is that… drinking poison one.

But about kids though? Those you have to decide for. It’s hard to explain until you’ve had one. They have autonomy, yes, and it’s absolutely great to let them try and fail half an hour to put on shoes, but at several points throughout the day you absolutely need to decide what they do.

This makes many people slip into educational and fostering roles here and there. Many boomers got drunk with power when it was their turn, but overall they improved on the whole beating kids until they obey or whatever

That’s probably why the patent was so wrong to get. But it just still doesn’t fit anywhere so stealing intellectual property then would make it nine sins, a lawyer’s worst nightmare - not to talk about nin9, that is a title that completely lack the “oh, it’s that word but they changed a letter”-ring to it, and then there’s the runtime to manage here, and who do the killer slay that breaks the copyright sin, now you gotta find an actor that looks like Edward Snowden and the whole thing may even provoke a trilogy type of sequel which begs the question how do we number these - roman numerals are not easily kerning with compound numerical titles that’s already a mess - and who is to say all this legal jousting doesn’t spawn a whole new set of sins, perhaps you are even compelled to if it turns out to be a box office success - and now you have to do all that without turning to drugs while juggling how to cram “what’s in the box?” into a Christmas special loosely based on the cast of tw3lv12e, the anthology musical that Broadway probably loved but critics are, of course most likely to call homophobic due to the legal / theological battles you are now fighting after having in desperation had one webisode introduce the sin of lesbian mixed martial arts doping or something as the writers are bound to cross the cross somewhere and that’s going to be a real pita as the concepts collide? (I am very not sure that sentence should end with a question mark but at this point it could require the invention of a new type of punctuation)

Yes and also that men are evil. Literally that they feel excluded and scared to participate because of their gender. They don’t dare talk to girls. Because of the other assholes that ruined it. They are told it’s what women like. It’s not true. But these are the ones being caught in the net. Not the asshole, but the timid ones.

I don’t understand how you think they would not want to be Mr Rodgers? It’s not in their biology. They look for role models and only grifters pretend to know how to get girls. It’s so idiotic. Mr Rodgers gets girls. If they only understood that truth they would flock to imitate him

Fuck you. Losers that can’t be laid. Yes. When they are constantly told to man up and get girls… Where do you think they go? Wtf is wrong with you. You replied to this with exactly the lack of equipment to handle the manosphere they were talking about. Without compassion you are even worse as you ruin your and others chance to fix it. Hateful and completely useless to say these things. You really think the kids think “I’m gonna be an asshole” for no reason? It takes time to be brain washed by the pick up artists. It just speaks to them

Because they are being completely alienated. The hater haters are also on the rise. Those have even more troubled minds and it’s the same on and on until the bottom. It’s very easy to reach out to these young males, and fix them. But instead whine. They are straight up looking for role models and only dickheads speak their language. Like… Tell a lost male to “man up” instead of expecting young males to have feelings is kinda dumb. It’s been happening in history over and over. It’s just on the rise to then start to wane to then rise again slightly lower the next time when people forget about caring for young males again. They aren’t easy so I get it but Jesus with the influencer dicks becoming their fathers… It’s so pathetic

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Just if you were a hater that would be cool with me. I don’t like “ai” either. The explanations you give are misleading at best. It’s embarrassing. You fail to realise the fact that NOBODY KNOWS why or how they work. It’s just extreme folly to pretend you know these things. It’s been observed to reason novel ideas which is why it is confusing for scientists that work with them why it happens. It’s not just data lookup. You think entire Web and history of man fits in 8 gb? You are just educating people with just your basic rage filled opinion, not actual answers. You are angry at the discovery, we get that. You don’t believe in it. Ok. But don’t say you know what it does and how, or what openai does behind its closed doors. It’s just embarrassing. We are working on papers to try to explain the emergent phenomenon we discovered in neural nets that make it seem like it can reason and output mostly correct answers to difficult questions. It’s not in the “data” and it looks for it. You could just start learning if you want to be an educator in the field.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
The only thing worse than the ai shills are the tech bro mansplainaitions of how “ai works” when they are utterly uninformed of the actual science. Please stop making educated guesses for others and typing them out in a teacher’s voice. It’s extremely aggravating

Playing with a amiga as a kid when I was at friends and got to play Nintendo I always felt like an outsider… But I didn’t realise how lucky I am that it was like that. I was exposed to so many more games, and got to tinker. Got to see many crack intros that was mesmerising to me as a kid. Soon enough I got into coding because of it… And guess if that was useful later. I’m never going to think buying a walled garden device is ok, sends the wrong message to your kids and hampers their development. Don’t take the easy way out.

Haha you really need lots of framework to work like a normal being but there are benefits too, thank god. Your alarm symphony made me think of one thing that revolutionised this problem for me, a special alarm. It will not shut off until I scan a qr code on my bathroom mirror. After struggling with it so many years it was so fucking unbelievable to finally get something to work. I didn’t even have high hopes since I tried so many notifications, alarms, different types of smart captcha things, but then just physical movement to another place that cannot be cheated just made a huge difference, because once I walk through a doorway, it’s like my brain switches to a new activity automatically. Cheers!

Temp hires are kids in school and trainees etc that would almost always have a 3 month contract that then get full time work when they know it will work out. Some elder care companies I know kept hiring new workers constantly and it did not go over well for any of them. Shut down by unions and most old people switched away from these, also the communal overseers removed them from the hiring pools and from recommendations as a choice of provider. All workplaces I have quit, have treated me well, mostly using the time to transfer skills and documentation to a replacement and then saying I don’t have to come in when it seems done. Two times they gave me instant “garden leave” with full benefits which means I get full pay but don’t have to work and if I have other work I can get double salary without having to pay penalties. I also am in a union that by law has to be asked automatically to come in and manage the transfer, those are people that have seen hundreds of layoffs and leavings that can give each party a sense of what is expected, and raise issues or irregular things like you describe to the correct authority. I have not seen any abuse of this law (law of labor safety) from a company or heard of any abuse of the law in my entire forty years of life. It’s because it is taught in schools and taken very seriously by even small businesses.

Yeah that’s a good way to handle that sort of thing, and you did the right thing. However, and this is just a personal thing, and may not be applicable to your situation:

I have had adhd my entire life and worked around it. It has its problems with changing activity, and many people have this symptom with it. When I got medication and the problem was mitigated, I realised that my entire life I heard and was deeply ashamed of me not respecting others because of my chronic lateness. Now that I understand I wasn’t physically able, I can see that all the pain from hearing that I’m not respectful, when I’m truly sincerely am, did not help. The issue was never respect, it was a clinical defect in my frontal lobe. In my country we have “work therapists” they’re not for work, they’re for practically finding out if you have problems with productivity (even home stuff). One of these helped me realise and I was “cured”. I really thought I just suck. And nothing I did could fix it, and I would be truthful when I told others I get it and want to improve. And I was sincere in trying everything. I empathise with that guy probably because I was like that and I know I always held my job and coworkers high in regard and did my absolute best, but it came out as being disrespectful and disingenuous. Just needed to get that off my chest, cheers!

I don’t get it. If you get a notice, they should. We have labour laws requiring both the company and you to give notice, 3 months. That’s for anyone that hires someone, but exempt for what’s called a “temporary hire”, like interns and such. If you have a temporary hire for more than one year it’s automatically considered a “full time hire”. It means that whenever a company uses consultants or practice workers the risk goes both ways, and most normal workers get economic security and for companies ability to plan ahead.

Labour laws should be beneficial for workers, and if they aren’t, the giant hyper capitalist megacorps you foster with that approach aren’t worth any protection at all since they are a burden on the planet and society, not a benefit.
