Well, out of the three replies I’ve recieved in different conversations this morning you’re the first to admit that you aren’t a turbo super genius(and boy, were others obviously wrong about the topic) so despite not knowing stuff you’re still coming out way far ahead haha

And yet, if you look at my comment, I was specifically talking about how the last decade has been marked by people saying “no one could be that dumb” and then watching them all be that dumb and here you are, repeating history. So, job specific experience not required.

And aside from that I know people with decades of career experience who are dumber than rocks and barely squeak by simply because our society is a farce. I’ll say that’s probably not you, but it’s far from impossible.

There’s a bus lane before getting to the cars, and there’s a stoplight and a tighter lane which indicates that that’s no longer a fucking 70+mph zone lol.

Look, it’s ok to not be that smart but being such a massive prick about it is a bad look, broski.

Like others have said, $77k gets him into a used Cybertruck equivalent to what he had before. Insurance is systemically bad for so many reasons but it absolutely makes sense if it weren’t so morally corrupt and this is the part that makes sense. If I crashed my 2015 BRZ today I wouldn’t expect the full $25k I paid for it in 2018(although with the way used prices have been, I might actually get close to that, but that does not disagree with my point).

MAGA is 70+mil people in the US and intelligence is less of a steep climb after that and more of painful, barely perceptible slope toward eventual mediocrity. As for the E-Scooter, you’d be amazed how easy it is to damage a Cybertruck, and remember that total losses are connected more to repair costs than anything and these heaps of garbage can be very expensive to repair properly. Whether or not the guy challenges them on it I do not doubt that they easily could have declared it a total loss.

I feel like, at this point, if you say “no one could be that dumb” then you are using yourself to prove that they absolutely could be. It could even be fake in the end but you’re not right if you stumbled upon the correct answer using deeply flawed logic and got lucky.

Right now they’re all loving supporting destroying Gaza and occupying it. They also screamed about how being involved in Ukraine was bad. Right-wingers are just awful, broken people with no consistency beyond always doing exactly what their local conservative party tells them.

Well it’s a good thing no one is proposing that! Seriously, where do you people come from?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Well, exactly, but if the brother still can ‘t articulate his point any further than lol u mad” even after all this time then how intentional is it really? I totally agree that art is in the intention more than the execution but this doesn’t sound like that.

Simply thinking about it doesn’t make the thing art, though. Like, it still could be but the only thing you were thinking about after all that time was how stupid it was and that feeling could be replicated by so many things and it wouldn’t matter. Being subversive and being stupid and not being able to handle criticism are two often conflated things.

It’s like misspelling something and throwing out a “language evolves”. It’s a cheap cop-out to cover up a mistake.

It doesn’t take much, honestly, and is again more about not doing negative things as opposed to doing positive things, if it helps to see it that way.

If you’re putting out a very inward energy then that can make people avoid talking to you, even if they would like to but think you’re trying to be left alone. Like, if you’re nervous at a partner dancing thing you can go sit at a table far from the floor or you can stand beside the floor and watch. When you’re done dancing with someone, try to fire off a “I’m pretty new, do you know anyone who would be good dance with here?”. It doesn’t matter if you’re good at whatever it is you’re doing, people are drawn to those who have fun doing it.

You will have to do some stuff, of course. But it could be as small as smiling at a joke you overheard and maybe getting a “see, this guy gets it!” My roommate struggles to make friends at the Irish music jams we go to because they rarely engage with others and they’ll leave early without saying bye and stuff. They’re all super friendly, it doesn’t take much!

Another thing is that being a regular is helpful; people love recognizing other people. I remember the second time I went to a swing dance event and was jumped by someone saying “HA! We got you!”.

Ultimately you’ll learn this with practice. And remember that you don’t need to be everyone’s friend, not at all, just open to the possibility of making a new aquaintance.

Oh, and try to avoid one word answers. “Is this seat free?” “Absolutely, have a seat!”(and then you don’t need to do anything else if you don’t want to, but if they do then you’ve establish a positive energy.

I’m just sayin’ that if this double-perfect AI can’t shield itself from that then it’s maybe not so perfect, or even moderately intelligent.
