Yeah there has to be a balance between "what a clever idea!" and "lol that's dumb why are you talking to me"

The comparison to a niche online community makes a lot of sense.

Some mail providers will show you a link preview on click or on hover.

You are getting in the way of a scam that all parties are aware of and perfectly ok with.

As a moron, I wish companies would just fucking tell me about their scams. I never catch on until a few months after I leave the company.

So... people are born using AI, then?

If lack of flattery due to using AI is making people think everyone is mean to them and causing them to turn to AI rather than people.... then...what??? I'm sorry but you're breaking my brain here. Can you make it make sense so I can understand?

People want to feel good and don't want to feel bad, and this isn't a moral failing of any kind. I don't think AI use is because of AI. I think people turn to AI because talking to other people is just so unpleasant. This is the result of human nature, not because of the devil or because of evil, not due to anything else you can condemn someone to Hell for.

Yeah, it certainly can be. It is possible to tactfully and gracefully disagree with someone without making them look or feel stupid, and without causing them to lose face. This is something our grandparents used to do for each other.

Come on man, you've been outside, presumably. You know that the douchebaggery out there isn't limited to people just not being very flattering towards each other.

We could all solve this problem by being less shitty and becoming easier to talk to. Who's gonna be first?

My wife was trying to clean our kettle

I said, it needs CLR

she asked what CLR is

I said Calcium Lime and Rust. There is also Lime-Away.

She put the CLR in there. Then she washed it out many times. All of the mineral deposits washed away. She rinsed it out with water many more times, and then eventually cleaned it with vinegar after rinsing it many times. At least, I think that's how she cleaned it. She's the kettle cleaner, I don't know much about it, other than that CLR exists.

It was very clean for a few months.

We got a regular kettle after that
