No
Do you need friends, as in you will die without them? No. They are not essential to life. But humans are social creatures and having someone in your life that you feel safe enough to open up to, who can share in your interests and hobbies and who can be there for you when you are not doing good, is an extremely good thing to have.
Like I can totally survive without my left arm but life is going to be a lot more difficult. Same kind of concept but with mental health.
I love how they blame the dog and not the f*ckwad that left a loaded shotgun in the back seat with the safety off.
Watch her be completely innocent too. I bet they wouldn’t even apologize.
“Should we view the people who want every man woman and child of a group of people to die solely because they’re the wrong color, worship God differently, or come from somewhere I don’t live, as inherently bad?”
Yes. How the f*ck can you even ask that with a straight face. Get bent.
Because it’s not “smart”. It’s not intelligent at all. It’s not sentient, doesn’t think, it’s not even aware of what it’s generating. Llm stands for Large Language Model and it’s just a text prediction algorithm that decides what words should most likely come after other words. It does this just well enough to present to people who do not understand it as “intelligent”.
It’s me. I’m doing it. I’ve been sneaking up to every assassin and ass ass an on the planet and gently tucking a copy of catcher in the rye into their back pocket. Yes it was me the whole time.
Depends. With Ai you 100% know you’re being replaced as soon as possible with an llm. If they’re asking me to train some guy who is from overseas there’s a lot more nuance.
If this guy is obviously set to replace me, I would refuse and tell the supervisor expecting me to train him to smile and blow me. I wouldn’t blame the guy replacing me because he’s just a guy looking for a job. He probably us coming into the position not even realizing he’s replacing anyone.
If I already put in my two weeks notice and are leaving amicably, and they’re asking me to train the guy who’s filling the position because I’m on my way out and they’re honest with me. Yea I’d train him. He’s not an llm posed to steal jobs from real people, he’s just some guy who came here for a better future. I have zero beef with that person. I’d train him to do the job, give him some advice about what the company is like, and wish him luck.
There’s a million different reasons I could be training another person, it’s not like training an Ai where you know 100% why it’s getting trained.
I think saying that America just hates children is a bit of a stretch there. In fact I think it’s missing the point entirely.
I can’t speak for the whole of America, only myself and the other people I know, but most of us would love to slow down, start a family, have someone to nurture, teach, pass down our own interests and skills to. We can’t.
The economy is in shambles, the people in control are comedically evil. Ffs the majority of the people running the united states are more than likely on the epstein list. Everyone is living paycheck to paycheck, nobody can afford a house to actually properly raise a child in.
Nobody is having children right now because things are so bad here, nobody can afford to have a child, and even if they could, given how bad things are globally, nobody wants to bring a child into this world.
The system is so cruel to children because the people who run the system are profoundly corrupt, do not have the childrens best interests in mind, and want to make sure our next generation is as uninformed and easy to control as possible
Now if you’re asking why most adults don’t hang out with kids, it should be pretty obvious why that is. They’re kids. Adults who are not their caregivers or in their lives have no business hanging out with them. I would be very concerned if my kid asked if his buddy could hang out and that person was q full grown man.
I’m sure there’s people out there who genuinely dislike children, but it’s pretty shortsighted to say “every single person in the country must hate children if these people do”
If I was directly told to train my Ai replacement, the only thing I’d non voluntarily do is tell them to smile and blow me. I don’t care if they could put me in jail for not doing it.
And I defend the idea that Zuckerberg should be throw into a slow moving industrial grinder.
Well considering that’s an Ai image and everyone in it looks like the same dude in different desguises, I can’t really give you an accurate answer.
if you want me to go by the picture you posted, then your parents are deeply afraid that your friends are all just one guy who has consumed and assimilated multiple people and is pretending to be your friend in order to lure you into a secondary location to assimilate you as well, and are debating in private whether to call a priest or the military.
if you want an actual answer, I can’t really give you one because this is a generic Ai image and not something that can be used for a real basis for a grounded human answer.
In fact given that you used Ai to portray a friend group, my mind immediately wonders if you actually have any friends at all and this is all a deeply sad and unsettling way to farm imaginary internet points.
My personal headcanon is that you are the thing assimilating other people as you feed and grow and are posting here to desensitize us to your unsettling presence to make us easier to consume later.
Honestly the tea was mid. I might try different things to see if I can make it better for me, but I vastly prefer dandelion tea.
The flower itself is beautiful though, and it smells amazing, the tea just isn’t doing it for me though.
You have absolutely f*cked yourself over by doing that. It’s not a matter of if that ID you just gave them is going to get leaked, it’s a matter of when and by who. These ID verification companies are infamous for mishandling this kind of information and are huge easy targets for hackers.
I would highly recommend preparing for the worst now before it happens so when your ID does get compromised you already have things handled.
Do not give these companies your ID unless you really like the idea of someone POS using it to commit crimes on your behalf.
Self Harm Sashimi
I’ll have to wait until next week when I’m back at the site but sure I’ll take better pictures and post them here
I choose to hijack the trolley and sell it at the local chop shop for beer money.
Lmao I remember that video! It’s been so long since I’ve seen it.
I could definitely look into the refugee status, but crossing with no money, no friends or family abroad, and no plan, sounds like a bad idea.
A romantic partner is one type of relationship often with the extra weight of that person being a romantic partner. A romantic partner ideally is a life partner you want to share the entirety of your life with. It’s a lot heavier than a friend.
A romantic partner is someone special who you will be spending the vast majority of your time with. Someone who you might star a family with.
A friend is less heavy, more casual. A friend is someone who you ideally can trust and talk to and who will support you and you them, but is not someone you are physically attracted to, or has an interest in being romantic with you or vice versa.
A healthy romantic partnership usually starts off as a friendship, and then over time turns into a romantic one. You can’t just meet a stranger and say "let’s spend our entire lives together, and have a family, and live together. At least not a romantic partnership you want to actually work.
