Whatever she likes is definitely best. It’s more to get a feel for their inflections and timings then the material. It might be advantageous to look up women comics I suppose. Maybe it would help more since a lot of it has to do with tone of voice.

His popular AI quote is from 2016 and is missing a lot of context. What he was commenting on isn’t anything like the current generative AI wave. That being said, he doesn’t seem to have publicly rectified it so it might still represent his views.

This is how I figure out if I need to cut down on sugar for the next week.

I had self confidence issues when I was younger. I didn’t feel like I was bringing enough to conversations and would end up staying silent, which made it worse.

I decided to try being funny, so I just started watching a lot of stand up comedy and trying to improvise jokes in the shower. It really helped my self confidence and eventually kind of worked. People love to laugh so it’s an easy way to make friends.

Seems like J is a real friend and the other person isn’t. She is exaggerating the issue and making it sting, which isn’t very friendly. Decent people won’t judge you for it, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Your whataboutism is not any better then his…

Netanyahu’s move last month to dismiss [Ronen Bar, chief of Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence service] was suspended by the court pending an investigation

Netanyahu’s bid to oust Bar came as Shin Bet was investigating financial ties between the prime minister’s office and Qatar, a key mediator in the Gaza war.

The Shin Bet head also said he had refused to sign off on a security request aimed at relieving Netanyahu from testifying at an ongoing corruption trial in which he faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of public trust.

Shin Bet also happened to be carrying out an inquiry based on suspicion that the government had ignored warnings in advance of Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, when the armed Palestinian group killed more than 1,100 people and took about 250 captive.

The vatican tends to use holy grenades and IEDs.

It works and you still get HERPES

It’s a cess pool but a lot of widely used memes originated from there. Green texts are literally direct screenshot.

When you see quotes in headlines, it’s because someone said those exact words. Journalist don’t use the sarcastic “quotes”.

Keep on trucking! I can’t give you advice for most of your questions sadly.

That being said, I don’t think you need to feel bad about playing video games but I understand the feeling. I tried to give myself goals to do before playing so I would feel more productive.

What really helped me is finding something that I enjoyed and felt like gaming, but I was learning a skill. It was programming for me (I started with unity which is a game engine) but it could be anything. 3d modeling is an other choice as well as making music. Just find something that only needs a computer and is easily self-taught. If it’s not as fun as you thought, try something else instead. It just needs to feel both enjoyable and productive.

The serotonin pills aren’t working anymore, I need one that will make me forget what “ecological collapse” means.

Works with 1984 or 1929 too.

The meme is saying to make black and white judgements about any image you see, and disregard it completely depending on what was used to create it. It’s closer to hate then encouragement imo.

Ya but there are no zombies in that one. I’m talking about the survivors using the bots against the zombies. Like AI dog versus zombie bear. Some small mechs, like they had in avatar, mowing down a horde. That kind of stuff.

I’d watch a zombie horror set in the future with bot dogs and mech suits. Sounds legit.

I think a lot of us mods feel that AI should be allowed so long as it is not low quality and serves some purpose

Pretty much sums up my view of it. It’s a shame it’s vilified since it’s good at making short comics and memes. I’d also rather original ai content then reposts personally.

I can understand certain subs being against it, like traditional art subs and subs relating to shows where movie stills are preferred (the star trek ones for instance). But in the end, this is a meme sub.

That being said, it’s seriously polarizing and every post with even a hint of AI turns into a fight. Tagging is at least a small compromise but I don’t think it will do much without filtering. Maybe an option would be to ask users who wish to post AI content to use an alt classified as a bot, so users can filter it that way while we wait for a proper flair system.

Woot, an other gatekeeping “meme” so we can all argue in the comments with each other.
