Haha wow, I almost ate the onio—wait, what do you mean this is real? I hate this timeline.

In order to use telepathy, we’ll need to add a new section to your brain. Would you like to shrink the other sections of your brain to make room, or would you like a bigger brain? Oh, you want a bigger brain? Well, now we need to expand your head. Would you prefer an egghead or do you want the whole thing to grow? It will also come at the cost of requiring more energy.

I dunno what the EOD meant when he said that

Clearly.

As long as they’re having fun

• Humans are born of the universe.
• Humans are sentient.
• Therefore, the universe is sentient.

Your conclusion does not follow your premises. Just because one thing has an attribute does not mean the thing that came before it has that same attribute. See:

• Humans are born of the universe.
• Humans are supposed to have two arms and two legs.
• Therefore, the universe is supposed to have two arms and two legs.

human response to existential dread

I realize this was likely not intended, but you’ve ironically removed most of the nuance in why religions came to exist in this statement lol.

But you’ve certainly directly interacted with all of them in some form or another.

I don’t think sentient is the word you’re looking for, as animals have sentience.

Shame it takes so long to get to the good stuff.

Again, had I responded to the original question, I would have just left a link and that would have been it. Compare that to their comment, where they had to preface it with them asking ChatGPT and not knowing if it was even valid, on top of regurgitating what it said in their own words, and its clear they put more effort in than necessary for what I would consider a less helpful answer.

My response was simply meant to point this out, and that’s obviously going to take more effort. I never did and never intended to compare their comment to my whole argument.

I agree the argument is pretty pointless though, it was a simple statement and I even said I appreciated that they did put in some effort and answered the question. Perhaps I should have emphasized that more in my original comment.

Edit: I don’t actually care enough to have a full-blown argument over this. Especially not one seeping into mild personal attacks territory.

I have no issue with ChatGPT, I simply dislike when people rely on it as their first and only source and give unhelpful answers because of it. (Edit: Not to mention ChatGPT can be quite dangerous when used this way. Its a bad habit that shouldn’t be encouraged.)

And I wouldn’t say I put in more effort in my response considering the amount of caveats they added in theirs about how they asked chatgpt and have no idea if its real. Our responses were similar in length, mine is just all one paragraph and so looks bigger. If I had responded to the original question, I would have just dropped a link and that would have been the end of it.

On one hand, I can appreciate you doing some work. On the other hand, an actual fundraiser was my first result upon googling “Fred Hampton gravestone fundraiser”, which is far quicker than asking ChatGPT would have been. You put in extra effort for worse results (your link has nothing to do with his grave, and instead seeks landmark status for his home). So I believe “do less next time” is a pretty apt response.

Edit: I’ve emboldened a portion of this comment to emphasize it more. I was not intending to start a whole argument over this. It was meant to be a simple criticism of the method.

Love that city code.

When you slide your finger up your screen, the content scrolls down. That’s why you swipe up when you browse Lemmy or Reddit or whatever. Whereas on a computer, sliding the mouse wheel up causes the page to scroll up.

Why do they capitalize the word black every time?

I get it. Finding the answers to super niche questions is just about the only thing I still go to reddit for.

Nobody called her a bitch, first off.

No, maybe not, but I’m not sure “she fucked around and found out” is any better of a way to refer to a woman that was just murdered.

Second off, I agree that it’s stupid that as a citizen, we’re expected to keep calm and act rationally in these kinds of situations.

So then why was the woman at fault for getting scared and trying to flee? “She fucked around and found out”, huh?

If she ISN’T, we should be discussing how to keep people calmer during these types of police interactions.

No, regardless of if she were guilty of the extremely heinous and dangerous crime of shoplifting (the horror!), what we SHOULD be discussing is why the cop felt the need to draw his gun and point it at the woman for such a small crime (of which he had zero evidence I might add) that could have been handled a million other ways. Drawing a gun on somebody is a direct threat on their life. You may as well yell “obey or die”. Under no circumstances should a gun be used so freely. She had every single right to be scared out of her mind and try to escape at that moment.

Even if we go with your opinion of her being a threat to the public, the officers are directly responsible for that and never should have let it get to that point in the first place over a god-damned shoplifting accusation. I mean fucking hell, the victim does not actually start driving forward until the cop is pointing his gun at her and screaming at her to get out of the car. Stop blaming her for the extremely excessive threat (and execution) of a police officer.

armed men walk up to innocent woman with guns drawn and scream at her to get out of her car

she gets scared and tries to drive away

oH sHE waS a DAnGer tO tHe PubLiC, SerVEs the BItch riGhT!!

You’re joking, right? Right?

Wait, you know people who haven’t tried to overthrow the government at least once? What are they even doing with their lives?
