..I did. Nothing groundbreaking, but decent enough to have on a side screen while flying around collecting herbs in WoW.

Then again perhaps the herbs were more interesting, now that I think about it..

I agree completely.

I've been a nurse for over a decade and I disagree strongly. Way too many of the doctors I've had to do with both outside and inside my work have been overworked, arrogant or simply too jaded to do their work properly.

There have been exceptions, of course. I survived both surgeries, after all. Maybe I could have avoided having to learn how to walk again if someone had listened a bit earlier. Maybe not.

But yes, we get into this line of work to help people initially, at least generally, I'll give you that.

I'll concede that there's a difference between physical and psychological diagnoses, but I'll stand by the main point I was trying to convey, which in this case is that simply blindly following whatever a doctor says can go very wrong.

At the very least there's always a good reason to get a second opinion if there's even a little bit of doubt. Obviously there's also the difference between a lifelong psychological issue and an acute medical emergency.

I simply felt that OP was giving really bad advice and I'm fairly sure he's got no medical training whatsoever, while I've been a nurse for over a decade. Maybe I'm wrong and he's a doctor, but I highly doubt it.

It's probable that it's way less than that, and that's not factoring in whatever it'll cost to unfuck everything he's done. Not that that's likely to happen anytime soon.

Also not counting in the brain-drain that is already happening.

I hope it'll be better for all you normal human beings in the US at some point in the future, I really do, but fuck me if this shit isn't scary all the way on the side of the Atlantic, and that's coming from someone living right next door to Russia. I'm way more scared of what'll happen when the US goes full 4th Reich.

I guess one could argue you're already there to be fair, but I still hope it went too far too fast and a backlash is incoming.

Setting up an MRI and interpreting the images yourself is obviously impossible, but I did work in a related field so it wasn't just guesswork either. Do you think any of the doctors I met gave a shit about my thoughts on the matter regardless?

I knew it wasn't just random headaches but something else, potentially a lot worse. I was right in that instance, at the very least. You're right that I couldn't tell them exactly what it was, but since it was quite localised I had my suspicions.

Trying to tell a doctor that you suspect something isn't exactly easy unless they actually happen to listen, which they didn't, for far too long.

When they finally did the surgery it was a lot worse than it could've been. I was lucky enough that it was a pre-cancerous tumor though. A few months more and it would probably have been too late.

I'll admit that I worked in a related field at the time though, so I wasn't entirely relying on guesswork. Not that that meant anything to a single one of the doctors I met before the last one that actually gave me the MRI scan I had begged for for months. I was in surgery the next week.

So you tell me, was the right course of action to just listen to what the doctors said, or not?

From someone with two major surgeries behind me, one of them involving a tumour inside my head, this sounds outright idiotic.

I'd be dead unless I realized something was wrong other than what the doctors at the time described as "just a few headaches". Took me upwards of 10+ different doctors before they finally listened and found it. Exactly where I described the pain and pressure coming from.

Listen to your body, and for fucks sake stop giving bad advice to people.

If he could he would probably be laughing real hard right now, at the very least.

Both of the global powers he fought during his lifetime are extremely busy at destroying themselves at an accelerated speed.

Meanwhile everyone else suffers.

I've done a few courses and learned the basics, but it wasn't until I started using some assistance that I got a deeper understanding of Python in general.

I came in very late, obviously, but I've still tried to learn coding on and off by myself since the late 90's, although I ended up on another career path altogether. I'm in my 40's and I've finally at least made some decent executable code.

Made myself a scalable clock since my eyes are failing, for example. It was a success and I use it daily. Would never have figured that out without some AI help. Still had to do some registry tweaking and shit since I'm stuck on windows on my workstation but it works wonderfully. Just a little widget but it improved my life greatly.

I've also cobbled together a workable alternative to notepad that I use as a diary of sorts. Never would've figured that out alone either.

As I see it at least whatever AI assistant you use at least doesn't give one the gatekeeping or abuse one gets if they ask a relatively simple question somewhere else. Kinda like this, I guess.

TL;DR: In some situations our current 'AI's can be helpful.

No doubt, I was merely suggesting that throwing math problems might not have been the intended use for what is essentially a language interpreter, obviously depending on the in question.

It's not like I don't have a basic calculator to test the output, is it?

I might've also understated my python a little bit, as in I understand what the code does. Obviously you could break it, that wasn't the point. I was more thinking that throwing math problems at what is essentially a language interpreter isn't the right way to go about things. I don't know shit though. I guess we'll see.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I've never read anything else like what happened in Hungary.

I'm Finnish, and they almost rat-fucked us and Sweden out of joining NATO for (private) pocket change from russia, so I hear ya and agree about Órban. I do however doubt that fucking up NATO and the EU was Soros ambition back then.

Fireworks was awesome at the time.

That's not really on him personally though, as much as I can't stand Orbán. Presumably some of those other people went on to become doctors, teachers and so on as well.

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while and that makes me a little bit sad.

Vihtavuori, lol.

Not American but from my point of view it looks like you need her more than anything. Her, and preferably many more just like her. Normal intelligent people from all walks of life. Decent human beings.

This is also why I've never had an issue with Elizabeth Warren, not that I want to be shilling for her here. I would've loved to see her get a real chance at the presidency though. While she might be relatively wealthy now she also came from a comparatively normal background, and she seems to remember living it, too (I obviously don't have her voting records in front of my face, but I've read almost everything she's ever written).

Got called a misogynist at Reddit back then for daring to suggest she might be a good candidate, because apparently that's what you are if you think she might have a better temperament than trump..

I digress, though. AOC is awesome.

It should be common knowledge that Thiel wrote the actual manual for all of this shit as far back as 2009. The Education of a Libertarian, ironically enough. He really believes in his own bullshit, too.
