Would it be good enough for you if you heard the conspiracy theories around you, but you could mostly not be affected by what they’re saying?

When I have the option, I am always the cat.

A Clockwork With One Brain Cell

I have used it as a nicer version of web search, mostly for “How do I write code using this library I’m not yet familiar with?” It provides passable tutorials when the library’s documentation is sparse (I get it) or poorly written (they tried 🤷‍♂️).

Me. I should sweat into bottles.

Women being intimate openly remains more socially acceptable than men doing it, at least presumed heterosexual men.

I have noticed a shift in the last five years and more of the (heterosexual) men in my social circles have openly hugged me more enthusiastically than they used to.

I have become more comfortable being affectionate in public in general, but that’s about becoming more comfortable with myself, rather than a matter of what’s assumed to be socially acceptable of the various genders. I’m definitely falling into the category of life’s too short and I’ll be dead sooner than I’d like to admit, so here I am, motherfuckers. Deal with it.

Declaring bankruptcy on a five-figure loan. I knew what I was getting into and I rolled snake-eyes.

Most frank code review. A+++.

We need to pay the programmers to put the problems in the code.

I lived for three months in Mazatlán. I get it.

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but I have a really pacific issue.

The word you want here is “specific”. 👍

I would like to add this: I’m pretty articulate in English, and even though I speak French quite well, I sometimes feel like a small child when I try to speak it with my francophone friends, which is why I shy away from that. I feel like I barely know how to express myself and, since I find that so easy in English, it frightens me to struggle so much with it.

I say all this to let you know that you’re not alone and that practice is, indeed, a path to success. It might not be what you need, but it’s worth trying.

Where can you practise speaking that you feel safe? Where you can expect not to be judged nor ridiculed?

“Infamous” exaggerates, but I find this amusing: we had a delightful chant for our sports teams.

COCKSUCKER! MOTHERFUCKER! EAT A BAG OF SHIT! CENTRAL, CENTRAL, HIT! HIT! HIT!

I’ve tried to forget that and I can’t. I wonder where they got it from.

Alternatively, use fc 371 to open the command in an editor and take your time figuring out how you might want to change it.

Ooh! It’s a Silvia! It’s backwards, but it’s a Silvia.

I love my Silvia, but I use Pop!

Oh, and… https://feddit.nu/comment/11221082 …I have and use an Aeropress.

Aha, yes. Somehow I forgot the difference interpretation for a moment. Oops!

I asked ChatGPT these questions and got sensible answers.

How much more is one half than one third?

[subtraction answer: 1/6 more]

That’s one possibility, but what about the other way to interpret that question?

[ratio answer, but expressed as “1.5 times as much” rather than “1/2 more”]

Oh. I just noticed the extraneous word in the search, which might be throwing off the LLM trying to understand it.

I agree with your assessment regarding the intention of the phrase. We’re back at the silly arithmetic meme that hinges on not grouping terms explicitly and watching people yell at each other in the mistaken belief that there’s one authoritative interpretation of an ambiguous string of symbols.

Still, the actual mistake remains. Why an extra 1/6 of the pizza? 1/3 of 1/3 is 1/9, not 1/6. That’s 1/2 of 1/3.
