I kind of enjoy them, like having a brick wall to bounce a tennis ball off of. Its often not even about its ostensible “intelligence”/pattern-matching or whatever, sometimes its helpful to have a “conversational” “partner” that helps you explore ideas or thoughts without fear of judgement and that applies that improv “Yes, and…” style of engaging—even if its sycophantic. Thats gonna have to be on the person to learn to “pushback” or develop appropriate criticality to help them self-immunize against the tools bias to validating you.

I’m gonna go ahead and make a controversial statement and say that some of us who have instinctually and existentially had it drilled into us that we’re always wrong and there’s little value to our input or accuracy to it can actually benefit from a little bit of fluffing or building up once in a while as long as there is a reasonable vigilant ongoing practice to challenge it constantly (where we feel confident or want to test different theories or orientations) and try to find our way to a more reasonable baseline of informeed or earned credulity towards our own abillities and cognitive abillities or at least interlocutory facillity

Just rediscovered this, thanks!!

Not to pry, but could you talk more about what actually led to your now previous relationship ending? Like what was the situation as objectively as you can describe it. Sounds like it might have been a last-straw kind of thing but it would be helpful to have a better picture

U trollin’ bro? Why would she want to “come back”? She probably has more control over her own life now that she doesnt have to worry about all that noise

You dont

Like, i dont get how they (presumuably) view having an orgasm-via-penis-in-vagina everyday as truly and biologically distinct from everyday orgasm-via-masturbation. I dont think your body truly knows the difference in a mechanical sense.

I sincerely dont and cant understand no-fap outside of an addiction 12-steps/abstinence style vantage point.

Sounds like a categorically terrible idea. Is there any ackshuall proof having 1 orgasm per day (regardless of the outlet or method) is harmful in any measurable/quantifiable way besides reducing desperation for sex?

Just try different countries in your VPN, you’ll probably stumble on a few that work.

Thats hilarious, so so on-brand

Tell him to get on Naltrexone if he wants to drink himself sober. Its legit and one of the most effective approaches known, actually retrains you so alcohol doesnt get you what you expect from it

entirely optional

Until its not. Rome wasnt destroyed in a day

I ferret away money

I heard a paramedic from a tv show says dead people cant fart because they need to be able to clench their asshole to release it, but i dont get how they can void their bowels since you pretty much need to be able to do the same thing to shit it seems

Unless they ate enough to literally be full of shit that has to come out. Not sure if theres still peristalsis upon death eitherk

Its a difficult issue, no doubt about it. It doesnt help that the healthcare system in many places is basically massive social murder and negligence but its also so hard to really do anything to help when one feels no reason to live+ there isnt some external locus of commitment (and safety) that can help to rule that out for them.

Personally, I got a pet and added a couple more to help with that over time to make sure she had pals or at least something else to keep her company when I wasnt sufficient but ive also had a lot of random help and weird circumstances that dont necessarily scale. Anybody who wants to be ok and turn things around should have that support and a path available, like anybody

There has to be a liabillity standard tho, otherwise it completely does away with any possibillity of even nominal accountabillity. If harm is caused because of a human, there is liabillity (whether directly or to whoever is responsible for that persons actions). The same should be true for whoever employs LLM for some purpose that results in harm. The LLM cant be jailed or “shutdown” really, its incumbent upon the handler to assume liabillity for the activities they are involved with
