- Comment on I got a VPO against me, how fucked am I? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been actively suicidal before and it sucks, so I’m not gonna give you any “permanent solution to a temporary problem” bullshit. But what I learned in my extensive research is that it’s really hard to effectively kill yourself. If anything goes sideways, it’s pretty likely that you not only won’t die but your life will be way way worse. You think you’re unhirable now, just wait until you have a hypoxic brain injury.
As the kids on tiktok were saying for a bit: suicide is cringe, don’t kill yourself
Do you have anyone in your life you trust to talk to about this?

Did someone say it was a conspiracy?
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 1 month ago:
Who said that? Lead poisoning is still rampant in some communities.
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 1 month ago:
Even though leaded gasoline and leaded paint have been outlawed for decades in the US, it’s still a big problem in poor communities. Lots of old houses still have lead paint. Lead abatement is expensive and many people may not even know it’s something you need to do.

and we can stop exploding nukes
We might be going backwards on this one

They really aren’t power users though. Tech is a) generally more reliable and b) so locked-down that so many young people never learned how to troubleshoot
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 1 month ago:
We don’t know about the longer term consequences yet, just like we didn’t about lead.
Not saying it’s a definite but I wouldn’t be surprised.

This doesn’t answer your question, but I’m curious. You say your writing is good but your reading is bad. In my experience reading and writing are so intrinsically linked, and reading is the easier of the two. If it’s possible can you explain the difference for you? I just find it really interesting!

- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 months ago:
I feel like the problem with AI generated content is it’s so easy for anyone to generate stuff, so there can be a huge amount created with little effort. There is high quality AI-generated content, but whew there’s a lot that’s total slop.
I don’t know what the best response is, though. Requiring disclosure of AI-generated comment doesn’t seem like it would help because that’s going to be mostly honor system. User-flagged could be used to brigade/suppress posts. Really it’s probably just a matter of blocking users and communities where you see consistent slop.

I’m glad this helped you but damn it’s depressing. People should not have to resort to ChatGPT for therapy

Have you ever been screened for bipolar disorder?
- Comment on What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative? 2 months ago:
The longer I live, the more I start to think that maybe the “intelligent life” are the creatures frolicking in the woods, not knowing what “fascism” or “rent money” means.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I wonder if part of it is that you get a procedure done and you love the results, and it wasn’t actually as scary as you thought it was. So then you do another, and another, and another. And then when someone goes wrong, you get caught in a trap of trying to “fix it” and it goes downhill from there.

Probably depends a fair but on what else you eat with it. Like how drinking water doesn’t help but milk does.

No…?
I mean I’m not a genius or anything but I know some things about some things. When I can help someone with those things or just shoot the shit about cool things I know, it makes me feel good.

I’m with ya. I was shocked to learn that there are people who don’t use it. Keyboard typing with your thumbs feels like Blackberry energy.

Swipe typing is the cursive of smartphones. I love it, it’s so much faster than regular typing (for me at least). I didn’t realize how uncommon it is until several people commented on me using it.
