Assault. Does this question ever wind up with answers that don't hit the bottom?

Despite the normal safety measures + an intentional lack of flirting when the vibes weren't there, public space, no booze on first meeting, split the check so there are no "implications", no physical contact. Dude didn't like hearing no as I wanted to head to my car and leave. Fortunately, it was in public and he tried to keep it low-key but I had deep bruises on my arm for a while.

    Can we get higher quality AI ragebait?

    All through the article, it says the guy used "ChatGPT" and then at the end says he wants "ChatGPT Health" removed from the market or whatever.

    Is ChatGPT Health a thing?

    Was he actually using it?

    Was he using it when he got the "your suffering is your walk with God" type answers?

    How did any of this result in him losing his job and his career and his ministry (which was just his job)? Poor guy losing his job three times over.

    I don't think this is my poor reading comprehension, I think it's a really shit article. Probably written by ChatGPT.

    A second opinion is an option. And a better one than a bunch randos on the internet who don't know anything but that you're questioning your doctor's recommendation.

    Quality control and honest labeling type laws, similar to what we expect for food and beer.

    Laws around operating vehicles and such while under the influence, similar to alcohol.

    "Knock knees" is a predominantly childhood thing that most kids grow out of. It's not a less-than-luxury-size thing.

    Adult peeps with knock knees who have never talked to a doctor about it, please look into PT. That shit can be potentially fixed or at least improved with good ol' physical therapy.

    Huh, I don't know where to find the metadata like you did, @WhoIz. This one was for sure a .gif file.

    I see a static frame of the gif in the comment and then click on it to fill screen and see the gif do it's gif thing. *Still on Voyager client

    most engineers actually doing the road design 'assume' drivers are mostly rational actors and are not overtly defensive in their design. Instead, they wait until crash data collected after the fact forces the issue.

    This is absolutely wild to me. I'm an engineer, mechanical background, related to traffic in the air rather than on roads, and we have SO MANY REMINDERS pushing the idea of proactive safety measures and mistake-proofing any potential safety hazards. From industry standards to regulatory body and customer requirements, to internal procedures, backed by tools and specific courses in engineering coursework. Folks would be in jail if they acted like this, like, "yeah, that plane door might fly open if some idiot goes at it the wrong way but *shrug, we'll tweak the design once someone actually does it and kills a planeload of people.

    In English, most people I have had direct conversation with prefer to be called "a person with autism" instead of "an autistic person". The distinction being a person with a condition versus the condition defining them.

    Do spanish speakers have similar differentiation and preference? Un persona autista or una persona con autismo?

    The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only those aboard space stations or starships were left to witness the universe dim, giving the end a name: The Quiet Rapture. Now, humanity decays in the rusting halls of crumbling stations, scavenging barren moons by the ghost light of long-vanished stars. But one moon stands apart. In the darkness of the void, a scanner detects an impossibility: an ocean of blood. In a desperate bid for survival, the last remnants of humanity craft a crude submarine to explore the bleeding depths. They weld one soul inside to pilot it. But as the hatch is sealed, the terrifying reality sets in. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. This is not an expedition. This is an execution.

    Indie film inspired by an indie cosmic horror game

    Have you had one? If so, did the medical professional conducting the challenge stay with you the whole time?

    I had one years ago. The person administering the challenge put me in a glass chamber, explained the amount of methacholine would increase until it induced an asthma attack and that how much methacholine it took would determine whether I have asthma or not, then left the room for 10-15 minutes. Looking back now, it seems wild that one would leave when trying to give a person an asthma account. What if I had asthma and was stuck without help for 10+ minutes?

    Curious what others have experienced, whether they were left to deal with a possible asthma attack alone or if they were monitored?

     

    Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

    What have you got?

     

    I'm using Boost for Lemmy on Android and when others post spoiler tags, I still see the text that should be hidden until tapped. Being able to see through spoiler tags is keeping me from engaging as readily with spoiler-filled communities.

    Is there any adjustments I can do to fix it or is it something that can only be done at app or instance or Lemmy as a whole level? TY.

     

    Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

    The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
