I knew a guy who got imprisoned for murder, really nice guy, the way he described it was an armed robbery where the armed person got spooked and fired off a shot. They were arrested on the road while taking the victim to the hospital (they weren’t trying to hurt anyone) and ended up getting booked for murder and kidnapping.

I met him a few years after he got out on probation.

Edit: fixed a typo

Ach Scheiße, du bist korrect

Much of it isn’t real German, its English directly translated as a joke. You’ll often see Ichich’s mentioned for example.

Its not a search engine, its a data digester. Dont use it as a search engine. Despite what alphabet, micro-shit, and DDG think, AI chatbots do not now, nor will they ever make good search engines.

This is a prime example of why access to these tools should be restricted to computer scientists and research labs. The average person doesn’t know how to use them effectively (resulting in enormous power wasted by ‘prompt engineering’), and the standard available models aren’t good at digesting non-linguistic data.

I’m not gonna downvote you, or be like all “AI is the devil and its gonna kill us all” but people need to use it correctly or we ARE going to kill ourselves with its waste heat.

Cleaning isn’t the goal, appearing clean and absorbing excess oil is the goal, which it achieves easily.

I guess I’m an immortal autocrat with foresight and pattern recognition good enough to be the global economy by the 16th century.

I play too much 4x.

That’s kinda what I’m saying though. Those aren’t randos! They’re other people taking the same commute as you, every day. Make a connection with one and you might start to notice them more. Maybe you have a similar hobby or interest.

Give people a chance to enter your life and they often become more than randos on the train. Maybe you find a commute partner, someone to chat with or bitch to about Jane in Accounting.

I’m not gonna try to convince you, Clearly you saw my point and chose to reject it, that’s your choice. I’d urge you to give different thinking a chance though.

Its a call to be present.

There is nothing inherently wrong with wearing headphones on the train, but ask yourself why you’re doing it.

If you put on Headphones to keep people from talking to you, you’re making the choice to opt out of the human experience.?Make that choice every day on a 45 minute commute and after only a week 7.5 hours where you’ve opted out of chance encounter, conversation, possibly meeting a new friend or partner. It might not be a bad idea to make the choice to NOT disconnect, actively choosing to engage in the world around us makes a huge difference in how we percieve it, and how it percieves us.

An experiment I’d suggest, if you’re the type to default to using your phone as an idle activity:

Next time you’re idle and get the urge to pull out your phone, instead look around you and find the most interesting thing you can see. Why is it interesting? Is there anything abnormal about it? Is it’s place significant? Take that and note it in your mind, have a conversation with a coworker about it later. Then take note, how did this pointless conversation make me feel?

Being present by choice, especially if done often, will create chances to engage with the World, and its inhabitants.

The other day someone told me life was boring. Put the phone down, make more than the 2 meter cone you can see from around your phone visible, and you’ll find the World has a lot of engagement to offer.

Looks easy but is incredibly difficult to get perfect?

Remember that most Christians have been such their entire lives. This programming is deep, and more strongly cemented than their critical thinking skills.

I suggest backdooring in critical thinking skills. When helping do deprogram my ex-in-laws we did weekly brain teasers and logic puzzles before our dinners, and after we’d play investigative board games.

Eventually they left the baptist church, citing they’d been listening closer to what thwjr pastor was saying and it made them uncomfortable. They’re still Christian, but they go to a PCA Church now. Much less hateful congregation and clergymen (are they still clergy if they aren’t Catholic?).

Its all about baby-steps. You have to trust people to learn, but you may want to help supporting some of those learning skills.

Tuned to run slightly lean with an aftermarket catalytic convertor installed.

I do my best not to destroy the environment while still maintaining a vehicle I can work on myself

Nope! Mid 70s MG, carbuereted. As far as I know it has a crank triggered ignition, ergo fully mechanical.

Edit: autocorrect assumed I no longer had this vehicle

My radio doesn’t even have a screen 😅

The only computer in my car is the radio, and that stays off most of the time. I’m honestly thrilled to not have so much tech in the car. Its nice to be able to fix nearly anything with some pliers, a multi-meter, and an adjustable spanner.

Literally just having a hotspot built in is keeping me on android. The lappy goes where I go, and that means as long as I have internet access I’m as connected as I could ever want to be.

Basically everyone has wifi, usually available after. I might just go out and get an unlocked dumbphone this week honestly.

Edit: yes I know about the mp02, its on the wishlist. I haven’t had a job in over a year so I won’t be getting it yet.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong about occasionally accidentally upvoting a post twice using an alt.

Making a habit out of it could be a problem, but as long as its a genuine mistake backed up by the accounts voting logs I don’t see a problem with it

Salad comes from Latin. Sal- (as in saline) is the root word, meaning salted. A salad is chopped veggies with oil and salt. Today we generally used a Mayo or vinaigrettete style dressing, containing salt, oil, and usually an acid as well.

Salad must contain salt, that’s what the sal part means.

And for the same reasons folks got hooked on old reddit, folks get hooked on Lemmy (its me I’m folks please unplug me from the machine I can’t log out)

I have 2 gigs of RAM my friend, all my browsing is done in Links or Offpunk, because i don’t have the system specs for a modern style browser.

In other words, I need an old Search engine, not a new browser
