  • this 82 year old woman dressing like she was 40 or younger makes me think about how ridiculous I'll look like when and if I reach that age. Am I misguided?

  • You sound young, so this response is based on that judgement (pardon me)

    Answer to your question - No you won’t. You decide how you want to live your life. You can look however you want as you age up.

    Another thing to be mindful of - Life is shorter than it seems. Prejudices are needless burdens that creep into our minds — the sooner we let them go, the more fully we can live.

  • You mean it doesn’t exist ? Perhaps I should be clear since I wrote just two lines.

    If you take top comments on any (even non political) popular posts, there will be someone posting an intentionally controversial, yet unrelated, comment. I guess it boosts engagement of the post, or the commenter gets karma (or whatever fake points) or just some lunatics doing it for the kick of it. The problem is most people reacting to such comments doesn’t realise they were just baited into it.

    Hence the thought in the shower 🚿

  • The universe has no concept of happiness or sadness. It is up to us to find things that make us happy (or sad if that's what we want).

  • I was surprised that many people didn’t know this magical ✨ shortcut

     
        
Ctrl + Shift + t
Cmd + Shift + t

    If you accidentally closed a tab in a browser, it will reopen it. Most browsers also lets you open closed tabs one after the other.

    It is easy to remember to since it is just a shift away from new tab shortcut

  • Do you succumb to the urge to stop the microwave a few seconds before it actually stops ?

  • Wow. That’s a great feature. I need to look out for it next time. Thank you

  • AI can kill information

    Jump

  • Unpopular opinion - yes but not exactly

    Searching the web is/was always like making a prompt. The difference before the current AI hype was that it was a different kind of algorithm, but still an algorithm tailored to make profit for the company. Or in other words, it was never in the user’s control on what information is received from the web. That is the nature of the web itself until, to some extent, we hopefully reach a dystopian decentralised non profit web. And hey we might even get there because you are reading this on Lemmy.

  • Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus

  • To be clear, OP is not questioning the validity either. You are, and that’s a separate discussion.

    If I tell you “playing with fire is risky”, and then you bring up an old book to me where is it written “playing with fire is risky”, the discussion is not about whether I told you that from the book. It is not about whether my advice is valid or the book is valid. The discussion is just that people who had read the book should have already known “playing with fire is risky”.

  • I’m not religious. But your point doesn’t make sense. Being around X number of years doesn’t contradict with the possibility of one idea being a part of the other. I guess that’s what the user is trying to say, but I’m not sure how factual it is.

  • ‘It’s terrifying’: WhatsApp AI helper mistakenly shares user’s number

    Jump

  • TLDR: Bot generated random number, happened to be a real person’s phone number

    I don’t understand what is “terrifying” about that. Even without the bot, anyone with malicious intent could imagine up a random phone number.

    These kind articles with thin content are just used by these news agencies to fit into the “bots are bad” narrative that makes them money. Of course bots are bad in many ways, but not for such flimsy reasons.

  • Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they have to pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ?

    Jump

  • Oh sorry I didn’t think of that. I was just using his name in a funny way. Besides my intention were about people like him, but the discussion went about him anyways.

  • On the face of it, it looks like that. It probably is that.

    But if we think about it for a moment. He is a person after all. Brushes teeth, eats, po*p s like everyone else. And it is sometimes when we do these mundane things in our lives, we just think. At least during some of those moments there would be some self reflection. Everyone has something to be guilty about. It’s just that these kind of people have a lot of options in that area. So I’m wondering if they are just in denial. And that is such a sad superpower to have.

  • True, but still, by getting used to does it mean they don’t bring cringe inducing memories to themselves. I know the feeling when some of mine bottle up once in a while. But I can’t imagine how much they would be for people like him and Orange Bob. It is superhuman level of self tolerance.

  • Why this annoying trend of having face on videos ?

    Jump

  • Are there people who specifically watch these videos for the reactions? I can imagine some enjoying it, but I thought the general consensus (at least among my friends) is that it’s annoying. I was hoping the trend would die out at some point, but the opposite seems to be happening.
