Other than airports or bag checking to get into events, no. Ironically though I once accidently brought a pocket knife to a big event because they checked bags but not pockets.

To me, this feels like drawing a red circle around a defect that almost no one would notice otherwise. Whether it helps someone with their trauma or not is irrelevant here, as I’m speaking purely about appearance.

I don’t mind small tattoos. I’m not a fan of them, and I’d prefer none at all, but one or two small ones aren’t a dealbreaker for me. Ironically, the only type of tattoo I actually find kind of attractive is a tramp stamp - which even many tattoo enthusiasts tend to dislike.

If I were to psychoanalyze myself a bit here, I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that I have quite a few moles on my body, which I absolutely hate. So maybe there’s some resentment toward people who have naturally clear, "clean" skin - and then choose to cover it with tattoos.

Well, I went from using reddit several hours a day for a decade to quitting cold-turkey when they killed 3rd party apps. I haven't gone back, though I feel like Lemmy is barely an adequate substitute.

The desire to have sex? Sure would make relationships easier.

For me it was the moment I bought my first lawnmower.

Well AGI would solve climate change in a hearbeat but nobody knows wether it'll take 5 or 500 years to get there or what other consequences comes with it. Personally I tend to think that we don't solve it by cutting emissions but rather with technology wether that be carbon capture or not. This is something AI at least has the potential to help us with.

Though gramatically correct, ChatGPT especially uses em dash without spaces around it where as humans tend to use a hyphen, usually with spaces. It's not a telltale sign but it's a red flag.

Example:

I don’t see it as bragging—I actually find it interesting.

That's not how LLM's work.

Smoking is probably the biggest one for me though tattoos are pretty awful as well.

Unspoken expetations are premeditated resentments.

I've always found it crazy that in the US anyone can listen to police radio - atleast according to movies. I'd love to do that too but I don't think I should be able to.

 

My school used to have 600 people. 1000 is a huge crowd and it can easily be many times more than that. If it was like 300 years ago, then how would you even get 100 people to hear what you have to say?

Imagine walking onto a stage, in front of a thousand people, and just saying a random thing in the microphone, that you just thought of while stoned and then simply leaving. Alternatively, you could stay by the door and start arguing with the audience members as they're leaving like I'm now probably going to do.

 

So, in other words: which of your core beliefs do you think has the highest likelihood of being wrong? And by wrong, I don’t necessarily mean the exact opposite - just that the truth is significantly different from what you currently believe it to be.

 

If a country like the UK decided to ban end-to-end encryption, how would they even enforce it? I understand that they could demand big companies like Apple stop providing such services to their customers and withdraw certain apps from the UK App Store. But what’s stopping someone from simply going online and downloading an app like Session? I mean, piracy is banned too, yet you can still download a torrent client and start pirating. What would a ban like this actually prohibit in the end?

 

I guess what I'm essentially asking here is wether you mind seeing the same post several times in your feed? I've done it in the past, but also tend to feel that duplicate posts are a bit annoying.

 

I had one installed eight years ago when I bought my house. I’ve used it to heat the entire place, but this winter, I struggled to maintain even 20°C indoors on really cold days.

Well, today I finally brought my air compressor inside and gave the guts of the indoor unit a thorough blasting - and now it feels like an oven in here. I’ve been lowering the thermostat all day, and it’s still way too hot. It literally feels like it’s putting out twice the heat now. I was expecting a slight improvement, but nothing like this.
