Neat, well thanks for the heads up

For me it’s the inability to set my status to “invisible”.

It’s not that I don’t want to game with people, but sometimes I want to practice alone without being bombarded by invites.

Wait now it appears I’m the one out of the loop. When did that start?

Um actually, in the US

ACKTUALLY, whether or not you can get fired is a state issue, and some states such as California provide statutory protection for employees who use cannabis. It’s true that there are some states where you can get in trouble, but the federal laws are not being enforced by the Biden administration, who has given the green light on cannabis consumption and rescheduling, so there’s really no single answer that applies to the whole United States, and your mileage may vary.

People forget a lot of things like this, thanks for the reminder.

Is it 26 now? Jeez I swear it used to be 24.

Piss off? I want Santa in the cockpit! 😂

Isn’t Ford the company that got its start by telling customers that they could get their model t in any color they want, as long as it’s black?

Perhaps this is simply part of Ford’s DNA and they don’t know how to make it stop?

This is my favorite form of protest.

Legend has it that some people spend their entire work day trying to determine if a nipple is a boy nipple or a girl nipple. Could you fucking imagine?

Checks all the boxes for a top tier response here. Cheers.

Sorry, ad hominem attacks are not something I want to engage on today. Me and my baby brain will enjoy existing in the real world, enjoy your limited world view.

I don’t know anything about your situation, and I truly don’t need details, but if you think you can’t afford access to any news outlet, I don’t think you’re trying hard enough.

Since you’re apparently too poor to access any way to entertain or inform yourself, I’m guessing you’ve had ample time to mull over solutions to this problem, and I’m eager to learn what an ideal solution would look like from your perspective.

Are you cool with paying for your news in exchange for your data/ads? Is there part of the editorial process we could remove to save money? Maybe we don’t need fact checkers and should just assume that journalists know what they’re talking about?

I’m not sure how we simultaneously provide free journalism and ensure that those journalists have enough to eat themselves, but I share in your convictions that democratizing information is imperative.

From where I sit, it seems like news organizations have moved away from showing ads for revenue to some extent, so the only option we have is to include news in our monthly budget and support journalists as much as we can.

Ah, well I’m sure it will still be here if/when you escape from Elden Ring. Have fun!

They just added a bunch of new missions, planet modifiers, and ship call downs, which was a pleasant surprise. Also, there is a lot of speculation that they’re going to introduce the third enemy race pretty soon, so if you were enjoying it before, now might not be a bad time to dip your toe back in the pool.

Crazy. This was voted on by the delegates?

Are these the very same delegates who received their mandate as a result of the primary process in which Muslim voters overwhelmingly refused to submit even a single vote?

It’s almost as if you’re suggesting that refusing to participate in the democratic process means that your ideas will largely be discounted, as you bring literally nothing to the table in terms of political capital, but that just doesn’t seem quite right?

Look, I’m 100% for peace in Gaza & on earth more broadly, but you can’t refuse to return your RSVP and then act shocked that the host didn’t save you a place at the table.

Honestly, it just makes me sad for future generations.

LLMs aren’t like the computers we’ve grown accustomed to, where we rely on them to be accurate because the output is all based on distinct and repeatable mathematical operations. A LLM can’t provide any feedback on the accuracy of its outputs, because it is simply predicting a set of tokens based on its training data. We’ve already seen cases where professionals who literally have advanced degrees have tried to pass off its output without scrutiny and it backfired spectacularly.

As students, who by definition lack context and experience in a given field make use of this technology, I fear they will overestimate their own skills far past the point of no return and I fear catastrophic results over the long run. Perhaps I’m being a bit overly pessimistic here, but I have trouble identifying mitigating factors that provide a significant level of reassurance.

What, you hate teenagers or something?

Sort by Top and I’m sure the crusaders of New will have everything sorted out by then. If you find these ideas being upvoted, you’re in the wrong community and you may be in a lemmygrad community. You’re on the wrong side of the train tracks and need to seek higher ground.

We don’t need to create literal echo chambers of people talking past each other because we block out any information that makes us uncomfortable. That’s not how we foster constructive dialog and

Yes, I too salivate at the idea that I could simply disappear all of the ideas I disagree with, but that is exactly how to turn a community into an echo chamber.

So I have users A B C D E F who are known to me who have voted on a given post. D and E are idiots I disregard their votes. F literally hates everything I love so I count his votes inversely. A and B are fantastic I count them x10 I tend to agree with C so I count his x2.

What you are suggesting here is, as I’m understanding it, a way to only get feedback from people you agree with and to never experience a critical discussion of ideas based on their merits.

Now, I’m not here to suggest that Lemmy is some kind of shining beacon of drama-free intellectualism, where every idea is discussed without bias or agenda, but I DO think it is valuable to hear from people whose lived experiences led them to a different conclusion than the one I’ve reached. Obviously there needs to be a mechanism to remove trolls from the discussion, but I fear a world where we only see content that we agree with, because then we will truly be removed from reality, and that’s not why I’m here.
