Never accept a pasta served by an "Australian mushroom."

I don't think the people who do the happiness statistic could see past the "forcibly inject" part.

No one here can tell you for sure what's wrong with your cable. So no one can answer if it will be good or bad over time. Slow (normal) charging is better for your battery than fast charging. A wobbly wire might stop and restart the charging process, which might be detrimental to the battery over time.

But it could also be that your port is so clogged up with pocket lint that the contact in your phone is affected and that's why fast charging no longer works. Something could be broken in the brick you use and that's why it won't work any more. It could be that the cable was bent so many times it's broken. It's probably that.

You could try to narrow down where the error lies. If you use a friend's cable does the same thing happen? Friend's fine-working cable in your power brick? If you got a phone repair kiosk in your neighborhood, maybe ask them if they could clean your port. If they're friendly, they can probably help you narrow down this problem also.

It turned out to be a Twitter clone from ten years ago and I realized I didn't need that any more. If I didn't need to reach some people who cannot overcome the hurdle the fediverse proper puts up before being enjoyable, I would not be using it today. But media popularity post-Elon-Twitter and relative ease of setup have given the platform relative heft. But it's not open and not really federated so it's masquerading and we don't really want you know whose money is paying the bills behind the scenes either. If anything, the fediverse can learn from Bluesky a thing or two about onboarding people who cannot be asked to invest the time to make Mastodon enjoyable. It will take time, much more time, to get people, especially non-techy ones, to the new normal of being your own algorithm. I see Bluesky as a stepping stone in that direction that will survive in its own niche.

I know what you mean. That's why I see a 80/20 split there in terms of blame. Being dumb and ignorant creates mitigating circumstances but doesn't render you not guilty by default. The flow on effect mustn't be a complete abandonment of the concept of suffering personal consequences for doing dumb shit either. It's a good learning case, hopefully educational for the willy nilly section of society.

I think it's safe to say these thoughts weren't necessarily factored in in the first beliefs in reincarnation. A lot of this stuff is about thinking horizons. If you don't know about the vastness of space, you think everything happens around you. So you must be reborn close as well. And then the universe is being revealed (still) bit by bit. If your science isn't great, you could be forgiven for thinking the world is 6000 years old and maybe created in a week. But then your horizons broaden and there is a lag in how the new knowledge filters into these established belief systems. So if you tried to argue logically about a reincarnation system, yes, it would be likely that you could become a rock near a supermassive black hole or a slug on a planet far, far away just as much as an ant on Earth (depending on how you fared in life). But logic and belief are natural opponents. I think all the Dalai Lamas were reincarnated on this planet. So that's odd then, isn't it? Doubt lengthens the lag.

If you were "shocked" that your chats were googleable, you were also revealed to be lackadaisical about your own data. Yes, they could've made it clearer but you yourself ticked like three boxes to get here. It's like you accept the Ts and Cs without reading them and now the corporation owns your first born.

So why OpenAI thought this feature would be useful is astounding in itself and they chickened out faster than 47 as a result of the bad PR. But this is more on the users clicking willy nilly and not bothering to do their own due diligence. 80/20 split imo. If you thought it was okay to make your ChatGPT advice on your resume "discoverable," you need to blame yourself.

If either one says anyways here's wonderwall and launches into the song I'll be ready to shoot them into the sun.

This verification efforts were kicked off earlier this month; this app hasn't really launched yet, has it? I think proper implementation after a test phase will maybe come next year. I think it is too early to complain that aftermarket OS's are being excluded. It seems to me that nobody has tackled that problem yet rather than this being a willful exclusion. And while the EU lawmakers thought it was okay to put the Googles of the world in a position where they get to be judge, jury, and executioner for the right to be forgotten, I have a feeling that GDPR and the general vibe within the EU will not allow this to only work with the help of one American corporation on the continent's most used OS. We need to be watchful but not despairing just yet.

I think that's throwing out the baby with the bathwater. But regulation and hitting these companies with false advertisement penalties is something we need ASAP. And liability. If the creator of a model can be made liable for damages, that would pump the breaks on this bullshit very hard. Funny how all the so-called AI companies are averse to any of that ...

I fear as the number n of the repeated day approaches infinity, any day would be horrible to have to relive again. And again. And again.

If your approach at dating hasn't materialized in anything, perhaps it is time to change your approach. For me, the best things happened when I wasn't trying at all. Be social, be courteous, be nice - and as the owner of a penis: non-threatening.

You have self identified a problem of anxiety. If your next step is to criticize all "females" as being difficult in terms of dating, you're missing a beat here and making a bad word choice. The problem may be more of a you-problem than a them-problem. Also, no matter the primary sexual organ situation, people can pick up on both an air of entitlement or the scent of desperation.

Also, all cicadas shout for sex but not every cicada gets laid.
