  I’ll show this to the staff in the places I frequent next time they give me a spoon with my cake order, thanks

  It doesn’t fall, unless we are talking about something extremely crumbly such as thousand layer cake. Which to be fair is also a pain to eat with a spoon, or any kind of cutlery. I find the flat profile of the fork is excellent to cut a small portion of the cake away without upsetting the rest of the cake structure. I can’t say the same about the curve of the spoon, which forces a scooping motion that often messes up the cake. I also find that the curved edge of the spoon makes it difficult to lift any crumbs from a flat plate surface. If I can’t lift crumbs with the fork’s edge, I can always press them down flat between the prongs and lift them. The curved shape of the spoon doesn’t allow for this. Finally, I prefer how the fork feels in my mouth as opposed to the spoon.

  So, these are my reasons for preferring a fork over a spoon when eating cake. Interesting to see people making a case for the opposite, but hey that’s exactly what I wanted to know.

  Are you asking why a device with no feelings or personal life experience can’t create realistic dialogue when prompted to create something based on dialogue from comics and fanfic? Comics which barely explain context with words (since they use images)? Have you noticed how over the top, melodramatic, stylized and unrealistic dialogues are in so many comics, superhero ones in particular? Fanfic isn’t that much better. Of course there are some with good writing but the vast majority is mediocre at best and cringe at worst.

  I’m surprised the LLM could come up with something narratively cohesive to begin with

  This is the opposite of my experience. I find usually, not always, cake comes with a spoon. I prefer a fork.

  I’ve read the cake is a lie in many places, I wouldn’t be so sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup and the deeper the spoon the worse it is! Agreed

  That’s the beauty of these places. I’ll see what crops up in the replies. So far it seems pretty consistent with “yes it’s possible”, but I’m also interested to read about any “no you can’t where I live”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point do you consider a person an alcoholic?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When they get withdrawals, even if mild. Some people get a bit cranky if they don’t get their daily fix (and yes, it has to be a daily habit). That’s evidence for me of an unhealthy dependence.

  Of course, if they always have alcohol available it’s going to be difficult to see the withdrawal and it’s also difficult to draw the line because not all people tolerate it in the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for mothers to constantly talk to their children about their experience (particulary the part about their pain and suffering) of their pregnancy and giving birth?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay the key here is what you mean by “constantly”. Telling a story about something so life changing once a year hardly goes as “constantly” in my books.

  What may come across as manipulative is you mentioning she’s trying to get you to do as she says or trying to get guilt or compassion from you. And this with a pinch of salt, because it’s very hard to tell from what you share here. I would have to become a fly on your wall for a long time to have my own opinion about it.

  You tell me she’s telling you this every week and making reference to it every day, several times a day, and now that’s what I consider “constantly”. That she hardly has anything else to share about her past or that she somehow finds a way to spin everything to a framework of scarred pregnancy mother, or similar.

  My own mother has told me about her pregnancies several times a year, I heard her stories so many times. Hundreds. Yet that was never the only story she had, and it was always brought up more or less naturally in conversation. The same happened with several other favorite anecdotes of her own past and me and my sister’s childhood. I would consider this aspect to be normal.

  I never felt manipulated by her retelling of a story though. And I know she could manipulate pretty well. She also had a few topics she would constantly harass me about, yes, daily or nearly to a point. But retelling the past was not part of it, even though she did frequently.
