This is actually a really fucking eye opening post, assuming they’re not lying. I personally never thought there was a “virginity epidemic” among my peers, lol.

It seems like people have gotten less cliquey about virginity since then, so maybe it is a good lie?

To me, the Bubonic plague will always be “the epidemic”, but COVID can still be called the pandemic since it happened all over the world at the same time, which makes it more pandemic than the Bubonic Plague

Yeah i would’ve thought it was hard but there seems to be just that many of them that it apparently can’t be

More important than this is to utilise labels/filters on your email provider. I only recently gave my email account a sorting out and now i have like 23 subtabs across 6 primary tabs

I only saw it in year 7! To think that something so explicit could be shown to primary schoolers nowadays…

Any grown adults want to meet up to play tag in the woods?

So, Berlin is being threatened with blackmail by hackers. Or do I just misunderstand how the verb works? I feel like the headline will panic people more than what I put.

“Say the line, Bart”

Seems like Sony is right in the case of California then, even though it unsettles me that consumers aren’t considered to own the video game as an actual copy of a computer programme woth which they can do whatever they like.

Unironically, yes maybe. If it is seen as avoiding your responsibilities, and doesn’t contribute to some area of society (but rather sees-to the “worship” of you yourself) then it is hedonistic

Edit: other guy said it better than me

No it doesn’t. Because to me a reaction image and gif is EXCITING! and I felt like your comment slightly derailed the discussion already. Kind regards.

Que molestable

I guess it would be fair to ask LLMs to start your journey, like “main works on this genre/theme”, and from these works you pull the thread for more things

On reflection, I guess the safest way to use it is to say “find me a source on x, and y” and look them up, instead of asking it direct questions

Alan Moore’s From Hell would probably need another two books just for him to talk about his research and the references he makes and it’s just a comic book… bad readers can hardly be good writers

I’ll bear that in mind then.

Oh yeah, and it’s not strictly an ethical concern, but if you use it for editing, you need to be concerned about sending it your in-progress work, as they will likely be stealing everything you send to use as training material and launder into their own ‘original’ work.)

I haven’t done this, but I do wonder how far it goes. Like if we type something in Google docs without ublock origin, it technically gets used for LLM training. But i don’t think I’ve yet heard of someone’s work or personal details being lifted and used by an AI elsewhere - have you heard any examples of that?

And then again maybe the ad+tracking blockers i use don’t work

it’s whole thing is language manipulation

That’s a good point - it’s worse than searching something in a browser, so just search in a browser

Right! I’m glad to see someone thinking critically about what hedonism to fundamentslly means, rather than relying on the more pejorative usage of the term.

I realised once that, even tho I was a drug free tee totaller who didn’t party or have sex much, I was still a hedonistic at that time because I played videogames as much as possible.

behoove you to get screened for ADHD

Already done :)

I just struggle to know how much time to spend on learning stuff and to then spend that time on it, consistently throughout the year. I think because it feels like I already get it or have done enough

and no sir I have not been smoking this idea

Pass it over and let me take a hit then

I’ve heard stories of people who’ve been overweight that’d never see lengthy lives because the burden of weight would be too much.

Absolute fear mongering! I see lots of people who comfortable being fat their whole lives and live a normal lifespan.

The hardest part from my experience of being slightly overweight is that it is harder to feel ready for any type of exercise, and I also got tired more quickly just from pulling the weight around when I walked to places.
