People who say working in the office is better without qualification are those things. People who say the office environment is better for them are not.
The issue with the push to return to the office is that people were making a case for making (not “letting”) everyone return.
That, too is trauma brought on by the pandemic, but they’re not correctly attributing it!
Human brains and mindsets are weird; they’ll acknowledge that they get way more fatigued than they did five years ago, but then shrug and not want to acknowledge that they’re disabled.
People are terrible at risk assessment and if something isn’t binary (death or full recovery), they can’t evaluate it well either.
There are people living with serious medical ailments caused by Covid that they’re not even aware of. People our age with organ failures that just shouldn’t be.
Work from home is something I desperately needed and wouldn’t have come about without the pandemic.
The rest of it blew, and I had hardcore resentment at the fact that people just could not and would not take the steps (masking, vaxxing, isolating) to curb it.
I know we’re not all autistic or adhd 100%, but the number of times people start trying to explain autistic needs or mindsets to trans women is laughable.
Like yeah mate, been there, done that.
Guess at least I know I’m a woman because of how they mansplain my life experience.
But it will also atrophy your social skills. You’ll become less comfortable with conflict and disagreement, more expecting of deference in conversation. ChatGPT is not built to challenge you even in the easy, kind way that real life conversations can.
You could be using it “correctly” and learning good things, or you could be filling your head with garbage ideas. The danger is that the patterns look just the same.
And when you’re looking at things that you’re a novice at, you lack the ability to discern lies.
You spent a bunch of time learning something via chat gpt…but how do you know what you learned is accurate?
It’s a machine that will confidently lie or make something up if it doesn’t have access to the truth. It’s programmed to tell you what you want instead of correct you.

Oh hey girl. Looking good!!
Yeah I dunno. It feels safer to be seen, conspicuous, and known. To say hi to my neighbors, be a regular at my gym, etc.
I like knowing people care about me and expect to see me.
If people don’t want me around, I’m gonna make them say it; I’m not removing myself for their comfort.
What?! Holy shit babe. Congrats!
"transgender ideology" doesn't turn kids transgender, you just see a comic book cover and it never leaves you
It’s a fun curiosity of a technology that doesn’t actually work well enough for anything production. It’s a toy.
It’s like how people swore up and down that blockchain was a viable technology even if crypto was bad. Or NFTs.
It’s the same grifters pushing this shit.
In fairness to those restaurants, the cost of goods is often not the main driver of price, its labor and overhead. Veggie meats have a higher labor cost if cooked on a separate cooktop.
But I’ve noticed they’re often priced the same these days!
It’s the writing first, but the cleavage is a lovely perk of following you.
Nightcrawler was a priest! Not just technically Catholic!
Nope. Sex is a normal part of life. Parents should teach their kids how to interact with society and watch what they access online.
Your standards are puritanical and fascist.
What days were those? People publicly get married, wear a kink implement on their finger to express ownership, and tell their coworkers that they’re having unprotected sex (“we’re trying for a baby”).
It’s only when it’s queer that people like you object.
My D20-watching ass: oh?!
Yeah, I get periods. I just don’t menstruate.
People need to be more precise in what they mean, because cis folks who have hysterectomies still get periods too.
Dolly Parton is not a billionaire, in part because she does behave ethically.
There comes a point where you don’t need the money or power, and ethics dictates that you share the wealth. As she does.
It’s the theft aspect and the anti-labor aspect that people hate. Along with the “jamming unfinished and unproven technology into our lives without asking”.
The environmental impact angle was always a straw man propped up by AI enthusiasts to distract from these social concerns.
Your interpretation is in line with my understanding.
And of course the reason why mortgage interest (on your residential home) is deductible is because it’s a policy interest to have people buy houses.
Boats are a luxury or business expense, not something that needs incentives.
I’ve used the “button” thought experiment to help me determine whether I want various bits of my transition. It’s what spurred me to schedule FFS.
I’m currently at “yeah I’d button” on bottom, but it’s more of a “yolo, I love novelty” rather than “yes, I definitely know I want the change.”
You might be cleaving to that certainty because you haven’t found a gender expression that feels right. You owe it to yourself to explore whether estrogen feels right.
Heck, just a week’s trial. If it doesn’t feel right, at least then you’ll know.
noi dorohedoro you will always be famous
Oh I’ll have to check that out. I was mostly just corroborating that there isn’t a specific built-in app, but instead a feature hidden away.
Do I actually want to be dismembered? No. Do I want to feel primal dread that makes me unsure if I’m about to get killed, fucked, or both? Maybe, yeah.
Not sure why ridiculous violence is ok in movies, but not once a single tiddy is on-screen.
Yeah, on the iPhone, the functionality is tucked away in the notes app in a menu.
