I mean, I guess it's kinda hard to say what exactly OP means without more details. It could be an incel who wants romantic a relationship but completely misunderstands women. But it could be also just a normal person wanting a sexual relationship and not knowing how to start one.

duck.ai is just a proxy for using 3rd party services. Your requests still go to OpenAI et al. but they don't see your identity, just that it comes from DuckDuckGo. Proton is hosting models on their own servers.

No way! TIL. I nad no idea the word "wek" comes from a brand name.

TBH, yeah, that's what I consider the point of my life - amusing myself until death. Whatever I do will not matter in 100, 1000 or 1000000 years which is all just a blip in the scale of the universe. So basically, I'm just trying to have fun and help other people have fun. Of course I realize that I'm incredibly privileged to live a life where I don't have to worry about too much and I can think about fun and not surviving. I experienced difficult periods in my life and the answer to this question was much, much harder back then.

I find this interesting but somehow I'm still not sure whether I get it right after reading the article. I don't know if it's something wrong with the article or my English comprehension skills. Anyway, here's what I get from this: so the (grand)parent's of young gay boys took them to Hooters hoping to reinforce their masculinity and heterosexuality. But the waitresses were so friendly and understanding that they actually ended up reinforcing their real sexual orientation instead. Is that correct?

Haha, of course not to you but I'm sure it does to some.

BTW, what do you consider good shoes? Any recommendations? I really struggle with this. For the colder and wetter part of the year I usually wear Salomon trail runners and I love their all-terrain, all-weather properties. They have one weak spot though - the heel counters wear out well before anything else in the shoe which overall seems rather indestructible. How did they fuck this up?!

But for the summer... I literally haven't found a shoe which would be suitable for very long walks in various terrains and weather conditions and would be also breathable and light.

I want to second this. I know it sounds crazy but walking has changed my life.

Man, I literally have zero interest or need for flashlights but this has just popped up in my feed and now I want one.

Exactly the same for me. I was worried people will not get it but it has never been a problem for almost 2 years now.

A looot of it. Ideally, I will participate in one social event a week on average. I can go up to like 3 times in a week but I will need more recharge time after that.

I used to be in a relationship and live with a roommate but I don't think I would be able to do that nowadays. Being alone with my hobbies in my perfectly clean and organized apartment is just pure bliss, ya know?

Sometimes I get so lost in my hobbies and hyperfixations that I feel like I could completely forget about other people. This doesn't seem healthy at all though so I actively push myself to regularly keep in touch with the few good friends that I have.

I would say NixOS might be even more cultish. I am a part of that cult.

Does posting this kind of nonsense actually work? Are there people who read this? Does this land them better jobs, clients? I can't comprehend engaging in braindead bullshit like this...

This is the correct approach of course. But tech giants do everything in their power to convince us that we should use AI for everything, including wiping our asses. And there is a significant number of peoople who believe this. So it's important to check this and spread the word.

Is it even possible to not care at this age though? At this point school and interacting with your peers is a vast majority of your life. I don't think I have ever seen a kid being bullied every day at school and not caring. How can you not care if you're scared?

I guess it is possible as you get older, more mature and closer to adulthood. But for a kid in a primary or middle school? Kinda hard to imagine for me.

If I'm actually reading with the goal of thorough understanding then it will take as long as reading it aloud or longer. I can still skim through the text faster, but I will understand less of it.

The Wikipedia article on subvocalization has a section on speed reading. It seems that subvocalizing can in fact limit the reading speed.

This is not a good explanation because as someone already pointed out a lot of (most?) people do "read the words aloud in their head". For me, I often even make tiny moves of my tongue and larynx - see subvocalization.

Literally the point of money is to exchange it for something.

Excellent explanation. Saving this for discussions with friends.

Not sure why you are downvoted. This has to be terrible for your body. Maybe unless you have some very specifc spinal issue or something like that I guess?

Yes! I actually couldn't resist reading it again when posting it.
