Yeah everything's fucked. I'm currently working retail but I have a computer science bachelor's. I've been considering doing a pivot to teaching but everything's so terrible now that idk if it'd really even be any better.

I'm gen z and consider myself pan because the flag colors look like an ocean sunset and yummy ice cream. And also because gender is irrelevant to me in regards to attraction.

So I could write on a sheet of paper costing me 1¢ or I could run the fraud machine locally after taking out a loan to buy RAM.

I can't help but think of Minecraft whenever I see the word villager.

Dadadada Villager News:

Villager sentenced to 90 days in iron golem farm for tormenting chicken jockeys with their horse.


But also she needs her license revoked. 90 days and she's going back to being crazy with her Mercedes. I've had to deal with stupid/aggressive drivers even when I was biking as a child and it's scary.

Good. Dating apps have never worked for me, and maybe this is because I'm demisexual, but I'm just never able to feel a connection online and I end up swiping left on everyone, and I'm pan so that's a lot of people.

We actually aren't too far away from that. It's called IVG (in vitro gametogenesis). Over a decade of research has already been done on other animals, and in recent years they've moved on to getting it to work with human cells.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people my age who have or would do that, but they're missing out on getting drunk while writing and then waking up the next day to see if what you wrote is okay to turn in. (Yes, I genuinely did this when I was in college and would do it again. At least I didn't cheat like my peers did.)

I had a lot of fun with it at first, but later on the game has serious balance issues for singleplayer. The bosses have way too much health and you just run around in a circle and shoot them for an hour. If you're playing with friends the bosses are much easier and quicker to defeat. Since I usually play singleplayer, I just use cheats to kill the boss after I get bored of fighting them for so long.

When I was a kid I collected toads from a nearby pond and biked to elementary school by myself. I was fine and I know the kids in my area still do this and they're also fine. I don't think this mother did anything wrong.

I kind of sound like an old fart complaining about kids not playing outside by themselves anymore saying this but I'm only gen z. Which is funny cause my 80 year old grandmother says stuff like that, but then also says that this mother should have been arrested.

on Where is your accent from? · c/main · 1 pts · 15d

I did the 60 question one and if I remember correctly it told me that my answers of crayfish and that a freeway has no traffic lights or stop signs but a highway does were the biggest factors for why it picked MN.

Sorry for the large block of text, but here's my answer and reasoning;

That causes you to lose your ability to problem solve, which is very important for programming. I started programming years before vibe coding was a thing. When you run into a problem you reread your code, look at the docs, search/ask on a forum, or go for a walk a come back later. I've spent days trying to solve problems many times, especially when I first started programming or am working on something particularly tough. That's very normal and over time you get better and learn to recognize those problems and are able to solve them faster. If someone else or an LLM does it for you, you lose out on foundational problem solving knowledge, which makes doing more complicated stuff later on much more difficult. You never really learn if you don't have to do it yourself and even if you have learned, not doing it for a long enough time will regress your skills.

You're going to lose the ability to do it yourself if you keep doing that. I used to use AI occasionally for code until one day I tried doing it on my own and realized that I had forgotten how to do it without AI. I feel rather embarrassed to admit that, and imo LLMs are like the smoking of our generations and lots of people, including me, jumped on the hype train not knowing of all the harms it causes.

I think we are running into culture differences here. In the US we don't have separate roads for different types of traffic except for in cities sometimes. And even then you get drivers who get super pissed about having less road to hog cause the city added the skinniest little bike lane and walkway. Most places in the US do not differentiate between car roads, bike roads, and walking roads, so much so that I've never even seen a pedestrian only road before unless sidewalks count.

Walz is the guy who ran with Harris against the diarrhea doo doo fecal man. I don't expect anyone outside the US to know who he is.

My point is that bicycles should never be grouped with cars because of how different they are. Bicycles should probably have their own rules but if they were to be grouped with anything, it's definitely pedestrians and not vehicles.

There's a guy in my town who gets around on a motorized wheelchair which technically means he's operating a motor vehicle but it would be pretty insane to expect him to follow the same rules as a car driver, so it makes much more sense, for simplicity's sake, to classify him as a pedestrian even though he technically isn't.

I agree with that. Not directed at you, but I assumed people would realize that going through the stop sign is only really done at intersections that have good visibility (and low traffic, obviously if a lot of cars are around you'd probably have to stop) and I think I may have assumed wrong.
