If I sprayed them with a hose would it waterboard them?

You don’t have to but we don’t have time to get to know every single person in the world on a personal level, and the way someone looks can tell you a lot about them

I always heard it as, “you wear a hat to be associated with other people that wear that same hat”.

You put on a cowboy hat so that people assume you like big trucks and country music.

You’re free to walk around looking like human trash but then also you shouldn’t be surprised when people assume you are human trash. Remember, you don’t always just represent yourself. You represent other people in your social group. Like if you’re a teenager you represent teenagers.

The assumption is that all the nerds that play cards at comic book stores are fat, dirty, and stinky because enough of the nerds that paly cards at comic book stores showed up fat, dirty and stinky that this became the stereotype.

Had they all shown up in suits we’d probably have a different opinion of them. It doesn’t matter if they’re nice people, we have no idea, we didn’t get the opportunity to talk to them… all we know is that they look mega-gross so we assume they’re all mega-gross. And now, if you admit that you like playing cards at comic book stores, we’ll all assume you’re mega gross too

So, it really would have been helpful if enough of them had cared what others thought of them enough to clean up a bit so they didn’t destroy the reputation of all the other people who wear that same hat

And if you’re a business owner, if you let people look like this in your business, it can hurt your business. There’s a reason we all assume Wal-Mart is trashy as fuck and that’s because the people shopping at Wal-Mart have a tendency to go there looking trashy as fuck. So much so there use to be a website dedicated to looking at all the insane ways Wal-Mart shoppers dressed

Depends, I would say it’s a show of respect

I’m aware other people are around and I’m going to present myself in a way that is un-offensive to those people. And not just other customers, but the staff as well

Does it matter at McDonalds? no, McDonalds is a pretty casual place where you would expect people to show in casual attire; be that pajamas because they’ve been being lazy all day, suits because they’re at lunch during work, or dirty clothes because they’ve been doing manual labor… whatever

But showing up to a nicer place in casual clothes basically says to everyone, “I have about as much respect for this place as I do Wal-Mart or McDonalds”; it can also say, “I don’t have much respect for myself” too. As in, “I’m too lazy to even put on clothes so I just walk around in my cookie monster pajamas”.

Neil respects nothing, and we respect Neil for that

OK, lets go through this again

OP accidentally upset her parents by saying “we have news”. He mother assumed it meant they were about to have a child when in reality she just wanted to let everyone know her two ducks were dating.

When the mother found out the news was about two dating ducks she got visibly upset; and when OP saw this look of sadness fall on her mothers face, instead of feeling bad, she thought it was funny. So funny that she’s decided she’s going to do this regularly

A user on Lemmy pointed out that this is a pretty mean thing to do. What kind of jerk gets pleasure from making other people visibly upset?

You tried to justify her mean behavior by saying it’s warranted because it’s mean for her parents to hound her for grandchildren.

This where I pointed out to you that even if OPs mother is hounding her for grandchildren, and that is mean, so what? One person being mean doesn’t justify you being mean too. Two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s sad that the entire world seems to be in a competition to see who can justify their mean behavior the best

If OPs mother is hounding OP for grandchildren, and it is mean, OPs mother probably has her own justification for it. If you and OP decide to be mean in return, you do so with justification of your own. Both people are being mean and trying to justify why their mean behavior is better than the other person mean behavior

It’s sad that at least one of you can’t just be nice.

It’s sad that the entire world seems to be in a competition to see who can justify their mean behavior the best… instead of, you know, just being nice

And then you responded by trying to justify your mean behavior the best… proving you learned nothing

If I’m also a bad person I’m a good person

is that the logic here because that doesn’t make any sense

It’s like the whole world is in a competition to see who can justify being the biggest asshole the best

You could change and become a better person… or not, whatever.

so let me get this straight, you called AI worthless because it didn’t do anything new and just a tool for idiots to use, then you spent a week dishing out homophobic insults towards me, I got banned for being a shill, then you followed me here, picked right up where you left off, dished out more homophonic insults, and then finally admitted that LLMS have actually been around for years and do have use.

When asked about the insults you decided to justify your embarrassing homophobic behavior by pretending that this is just how you talk to people when you’re calm and collected?

That’s actually seems much, much worse to me.

“I’m not mad, I’m always a hateful jerk”

It would have been better to say, “yeah, I’m sorry man, I was having a rough week, my emotions got the better of me.” But I guess just straight up admitting that you’re a full-time homophobic bully works too I guess

where do you guys live where you see enough swastikas that you need to know how to alter them?

This feels like such an imaginary problem

oh wow, so you were the first poor family? I had no idea life was a perfect utopia where nobody struggled until your parents. I always thought the story of Adam and Eve was something that took place millions of years ago but it turns out it happened in 1966.

I’m honored to meet the child of the first humans to ever suffer

That’s all I want to do

If I paid for it either on disc or something like Amazon I would like to DL a copy I can keep

I’m not trying to download the summer blockbuster currently at the movies or anything. I’m not trying to just download a million movies and have a massive collection I never watch. I just want backups of the films I already paid for

Which is a small handful of films I bought so I could one day watch them with my kid when they’re a bit older

You said, “boomer cunts stole everything from future generations and will claim to their dying breath that THEY had it rough.”

But then you said, “My mother and stepdad didn’t have power or running water for 5 years”

Weird, it’s almost like they did have it rough after all

“Hey, remember that time I called you a shill? Fuck off and go play with your Virtual Boy.”

“you stupid fucking shill.”

“you can be a stupid shill and know nothing about the greater concepts of what you shill, you’re a perfect example of that”

“You just love sucking dick.”

“you just love sucking dick, compensation doesn’t have to be financial for you to be a shill.”

“Holy shit, man, fuck off already.”

“Get a fucking life.”

“Just walk away, dumbass”

“You are one insecure little man”

“you’re just fucking stupid and insecure”

“Get a fucking life you insecure little crybaby.”

– That you?

do i need to use a VPN or anything?

Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost… I believe

AI is what we call LLMs, don’t be willfully ignorant, you know that. When people say they are going to “Goggle it” that doesn’t mean that they have to use Google. Some people refer to all soda drinks as “Coke”. Saying “AI” instead of “LLM” is fine. LLMs are a subset of AI anyway. But more importantly, semantics don’t matter, you’re just desperately trying to distract from the fact that you said it was a useless tool that doesn’t do anything new and is only for idiots

Advocating? I just said that you were free to hate it but it’s not going to go away and people are going to look back on these, “AI is dumb” posts the same way we look back on newspaper clippings of people saying the internet was a fad

You got mad, not me. You didn’t have to reply at all, you chose to. And with a lot of mocking anger. I didn’t call you a shill or accuse you of being a lying sack of shit that sucks his bosses dick. You literally just said, “You’re just fucking stupid and insecure… get a fucking life you insecure little crybaby”. How are you going to type out all of that and then claim I’m the one that’s mad?

I believe we already have cars that do exactly this in my city

If I understand it right, they just hire people to drive around all day while the car reads and tracks license plates of other vehicles they pass

I forget the company name, but the logo is an almost circle made out of leaves and some kind of roman helmet

So you grew up rich? Your parents had no struggles at all right? So I mean, wow, that must have been nice. They basically had infinite money to raise you with… that’s awesome. I’m happy for you

I just showed you that it’s popularity is increasing. It’s now in 88% of businesses. It’s not the Virtual Boy, that was a product that was never popular, not even for a brief amount of time.

Nobody liked the Virtual Boy, nobody used it. It sold like shit and was gone in less than a year

That’s not AI. Comparing AI to the Virtual Boy is terrible analogy, probably the worst I’ve ever seen

My original argument was that you could hate AI all you wanted but it wasn’t going to go away. That people will continue to use it in the distant future and that 20 years from now we’ll look back on people who thought it was a stupid fad and laugh. Just like how we laugh at old newspaper clippings of people saying the internet is a fad… that’s how we’ll view people who think AI is a fad

You were very unhappy about that. I couldn’t be more wrong. I was so stupid for saying that you accused me of being paid to say it. You accused me of sucking my bosses dick and even went so far as to say that I’m so fucking stupid for saying that, I don’t even work in software.

And not just you, I literally got banned from that sub for being an AI shill for saying that. When I explained that we use AI Agents to document our meetingss, manage our pipelines, and do baseline reviews for Pull Requests, I was told straight up that “AI can’t do any of that”

Now suddenly you want to back-peddle all that homophobic bullshit about me sucking my bosses dick and act like, actually, you do know that LLMs have use and that you’ve known the whole time they’re super useful and have been for years. Which is a big step back from your original claims that AI was, “entirely pointless” because it, “doesn’t do anything new” and only for “idiots”

lol, fuck off
