To clarify, this is an open relationship where you're cool with her going and having sex with other people (and/or becoming emotionally involved with them) and you just don't want to be part of that side of things. And your partner doesn't recognize the word no and keeps trying to pressure you into being an active part of that side of things.

Sounds like you either need a firmer no or to cut your losses and get out.

My first instinct was A, at the base of the neck. But now that I think about it I think I agree with this more. I think it could be argued that at the joint is where the neck really begins, and that the narrow part beneath that is still part of the body. And I think it would look better (and more professional!) if our weevil friend wore his tie there.

Have you ever used an LLM?

Here's a screenshot I took after spending literally 10 minutes with chatgpt very confidently stating incorrect answers to a simple question over and over. (from this thread) Not only is it completely incapable of coming up with a very simple correct answer to a very simple question, it is completely incapable of responding in a coherent way to the fact that none of its answers are correct. Humans don't behave this way. Nothing that understands what is being said would respond this way. It responds this way because it has no understanding of the meaning of anything that is being said. It is responding based on statistical likelihoods of words and phrases following one another, like a markov chain but slightly more advanced.

You don't seem to have read my comment. Please address what I said.

I don't see how it could be measured except from looking at inputs&outputs.

Okay, then consider that when you input something into an LLM and regenerate the responses a few times, it can come up with outputs of completely opposite (and equally incorrect) meaning, proving that it does not have any functional understanding of anything and instead simply outputs random noise that sometimes looks similar to what one would output if they did understand the content in question.

I don't know how to interpret this one

Wait a second Adam Smith said what about landlords? Can't believe he was a tankie too smh

Fuck breakfast honestly. Pointless work, pointless meal. Last thing I wanna do when I get up is stand around cooking some fuckin pancakes or whatever. I'll eat when I'm actually hungry not when Big Breakfast has trained me to eat

Karl Marx, famous for not writing about economics

Do you really think that if you witnessed a total solar eclipse without any prior knowledge such a thing could happen that you would realize it was the moon in the way? Personally I don't think I'd have figured that one out, especially if I also lived in a society that didn't know how far away the sun and moon were or even roughly what shape the solar system is. Like if we were in ancient Greece or China or whatever sure, but cavemen? Pre-agriculture? I feel like I'd sooner think the sun just stopped being "on fire" or whatever for a while than assume that the moon was in the way

Sounds good!

I think most people severely underestimate it, yeah. I was watching an anime with a British friend the other day, and he referred to an untrained civilian whiffing several close range shots with a pistol as "plot armor" on the part of the character being shot at. And I was just like "buddy you have no idea how hard that shit is" lol I almost went into a rant about how I have missed shots at exactly that range against a bigger target while under no stress and bracing the pistol against a solid object

Ok so I got a bit busy this weekend but I woke up early to try to get this done before the first day of my work week started today. However, it seems like the save in this post is actually my alt-timeline accident, in spring 105. Am I doing something wrong? haha

I don't know anything about the green party, are they cool at all? I said I was done compromising after bernie

ooooh. this... changes things. ive only seen one tour company that has info in the only language i know (i know i know, i need to get to work) and they explicitly won't bring americans anymore, so i kinda thought it just couldn't be done with an american passport. but now that i think about it it's kind of obvious that there'd be more options im not aware of.

for the record im still definitely never gonna be rich enough to safely smuggle north korean guns to america, but i very well might try to visit

Yeah, that makes sense. My next thought was "I wonder how rich I'd have to be to go buy one directly from the source" and then I remembered that I'd have to start by being rich enough to get a different country's passport cause I can't go straight from America lmao

He was involved in a single vehicle crash

Hmm, I'd have gone with "dumbass crashed his vehicle lmao" but maybe that's why I'm not a journalist

Sounds good! Then I will go ahead and get a turn done within the next few days.

I'm around 5'7"-ish and I mean I've definitely had people reject me specifically because of height, so it's kind of hard to believe that it doesn't matter.

But I'm also autistic and anxious and I've literally never touched another human in a romantic or sexual way once in my life and I'm 25 soooo height can't be the only factor. But how am I supposed to know what the factors are? It's not like I'm doing scientific research here, I'm just trying to live my life. I think where I live is the biggest factor, it is very hard for me to find anyone I would be interested in spending time with in person. I haven't seen a mask in public since 2020, and even then they were in the minority.

lol we had plenty of warning, the problem is no one gave a fuck
