This isn’t a shit post at all. Don’t take it down, but it’s not shit.

I was poly for about a decade. There’s a lot of solid advice in this thread. The only point I want to hammer home is the amount of drama inherent to human relationships increases significantly. It doesn’t just double: going from a two to three person relationship it quadruples.
Nothing disastrous or even bad happened due to being poly. I don’t regret it at all and would consider it again in the future. When I met my current partner and they said they wanted to be monogamous, though, I was happy to take a break.
- Comment on Square Enix acknowledges Expedition 33 success as inspiration for next Final Fantasy as turn-based is still beloved by gamers 3 days ago:
I don’t think anybody hates real-time combat. That feels like a strawman.
I do, but just because I have a disability that makes more button presses painful and turn-based tends to have fewer per hour. I also know others who dislike real-time because they’re bad at it. I agree with your sentiment completely, though. Liking real-time isn’t exclusive of also enjoying turn-based.

Not op, but I love tea; however, if the restaurants I frequent started replacing their drinks with a new lineup that ultimately all boiled down to variations on Darjeeling, I’d eventually find myself tired of it.
- Comment on 'I've been turned into an AI train announcer - and no one told me' 4 days ago:
I used to do voice work and this is depressingly common. I’d get requests to “do some simple readings for a research project” or similar vaguely phrased nonsense. I always refused, fuck that.
- Comment on I want these walls back 5 days ago:
It must be a regional thing as we’re probably about the same age. Growing up in CA, I frequently saw portions of walls made of these, especially in businesses and universities. One house by me had a cool turret staircase with alternating wall sections made of these glass bricks. There wasn’t much privacy at night, although you could only make out vague shapes.

I use chrome once or twice a year, when I need to figure out if a website problem is my browser or the site.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 5 days ago:
Yeah, it’s a few years away from being ready. Plus the dumb shits need to backpedal on this “cameras for everything!” idiocy.
I’m surprised the taxis aren’t being driven remotely while Musk lies about their amazing AI or whatever.
- Comment on Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks 6 days ago:
That would require their self driving algorithm to actually detect an accident. I doubt it’s capable of doing so consistently.
- Comment on AI CEO – Replace Your Boss Before They Replace You 1 week ago:
It might even make smarter decisions. The last few companies I worked for had total morons for CEOs, but they sure maximized short-term profit (by burning the company down).
- Comment on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight 1 week ago:
Many miss that Musk’s companies don’t have any measure of succeed because of him, but they have it despite him. A lot of intelligent people work for SpaceX and Tesla. Imagine what they could and would do if they didn’t have a petulant man-baby constantly interfering.

I still like FF12, although I’ve never beaten it. I had no idea people disliked it.
- Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful. 2 weeks ago:
Ahhh, I didn’t know about this, but it makes sense. Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

I don’t understand the point of your comment. It’s the First-Mover Advantage, not the “First Mover always wins in perpetuity”.

Of course! I’m a biologist, I try to use my powers for good.
- Comment on (゜O゜; 4 weeks ago:
Functional changes in coloration are much “easier” (read: more likely) to develop through random mutation than functional changes to complex mechanical structures like bone structure or musculature. Given their predecessors were already under selective pressure by predation for millions of years prior, it’s reasonable to assume they’d developed countershading (light bottom, dark top). Plus current agnathans are usually pretty dull.

Definitely. The minimum infective dose is around 10-100 million CFUs.
- Comment on Companies are using Ribbon AI, an AI interviewer to screen candidates. 4 weeks ago:
I got laid off in January, still looking! Zero interview so far. I’m sorry to hear others are having a rough time too, although it’s a bit of a relief to know I’m not just super toxic or something.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 4 weeks ago:
My partner and I have surprisingly little in common when it comes to interests. I like a lot of nerd stuff: homelab, 3d printing, robotics, brewing, welding, woodworking, sci-fi, etc. They like not nerd stuff: copaganda shows, murder porn (podcasts and documentaries), dog training, cooking, etc. I like metal, they like jangly indie, we both like punk. We both love cats.
We also both hate small talk, so we only discuss what we find to be pertinent or interesting. Since we have a lot of individual interests, we actually have a lot to talk about. We just had a really great conversation on using Docker or a VM to circumvent some silly online testing issues.

Paracetamol?! Not only would that be largely ineffective at preventing pain, it takes 30-60 minutes to start working. The incompetence astounds.

- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 5 weeks ago:
Likely both. I used to be involved in creating educational material for employers. First, voiceover artists were replaced with shockingly low quality AI models. This was about two years ago. Training prices didn’t drop and no employers complained.
The industry experts we’d pay for consultation were increasingly replaced with ChatGPT queries. Information was sometimes wrong but the employers purchasing these trainings would catch and correct it (for free) in the proofing process. Prices stayed the same, employers still didn’t complain.
After launching trainings, we’d monitor engagement. When asking relatively simple questions that anyone who paid attention would be able to answer immediately, the average response time was initially about 2-3 minutes, then about 60-90s for subsequent questions. They were finding ChatGPT and using it to answer the questions. We shared these findings and, you guessed it, employers didn’t care.
