It's quite hard for someone who haven't done it before. It'll take months if not years of daily driving for you to get good enough that you don't need to constantly think about it. There's differences between vehicles too, especially with how the clutch feels. I've been driving manual for over 15 years and if I jump into a unfamiliar car it'll take me a while to get the handle of it as well.

I remember seeing this video of two indian(?) guys drowning in a pond literally 2 meters from the shore. I mean.. If I knew I couldn't swim I wouldn't go anywhere near water. It could just as well be lava.

Changing tires or oil on a car.

Time after time, I see people who should know better fail at basic things like this.

Even I don’t get called out for AI-written responses, even though a big number of my messages here are technically written by AI. The key difference is that I actually take the time to write a first draft of what I want to say, then run it through ChatGPT to help clean up my word salad - and finally, I go over the output again to make it sound like me. The thinking is mine. AI just helps me communicate more clearly.

I’d never ask it to write an entire response from scratch without providing structure or points I want to make. All I want is for the person reading my message to understand what I’m actually trying to say - so they can respond to that, not to a misinterpretation of what I was trying to say.

I'll just leave that first draft here to illustrate my point:

Even I don't get called out for AI responses even though a huge number of my messages posted here are technically written by AI. However, the difference here is that I actually took time to first write the first draft of what I want to say only then to give it for chatGPT to make sense of my word salad only for me to then go over it's output to make it sound like me again. The thinking is done by me - AI only helps me to communicate more clearly. I'd never ask it to write the entire response from ground up without providing any structure and points about what I want to say. All I want is the person reading this message to get as clear of an understanding as possible of what I'm trying to say so that they can respond to that rather than to misintrepretation of what I was trying to say.

You didn’t address my argument. How is a caffeine pill supposed to substitute for my favorite moment in the morning - sitting down and enjoying a hot, delicious beverage?

If I’m not mistaken, the gender pay gap has already reversed when you look specifically at Millennials and Gen Z. On average, women in these generations are both more highly educated and earning more than their male peers. That makes sense anecdotally too. Thinking back to my time in school, it definitely wasn’t us guys who were thriving in that environment.

Finland - and zero days, since I’m self-employed. On the other hand, I can take a day (or even a week) off whenever I feel like it, and I only need to work about three days a week to cover my living expenses.

At my previous job, I used to get somewhere between 30 to 40 days of paid time off per year. It varied depending on the year and how many public holidays landed on weekdays.

Every possible way? How about the fact that I drink coffee for the taste and ritual - not for the caffeine.

Laws restricting speech are a disgrace. Unbelievable that they actually seem to be passing it.

The bar exam isn’t created by OpenAI, yet the outdated GPT-4 model still ranked in the 90th percentile on it.

I don't think this is your problem but her's. If you're only interested in sex and she isn't then there's no future between you two. The best you can offer her is honesty.

How about someone who isn't 300 years old?

It’s not because of the wealthy that someone else is poor - it’s the system and regulations that allow people to accumulate that level of wealth. Once you reach a certain point, making more money becomes easier and easier. Going from 1 million to 100 million is often much easier than going from zero to 1 million. If the game is rigged, it’s not the fault of the player for playing it well.

Me and my SO have a shared Google Keep note with our wishlists we update thorough the year. It's still kind of a surprise as there are many items on that list and I can't know what I'm getting.

Who are they?

I can only think of two ways buying the dip wouldn’t work: one, you over-invest expecting a quick return, but it doesn’t happen and you’re forced to sell at a loss to cover living expenses; or two, the stock market never recovers to its previous level - which has never happened in the history of the stock market.

Put that into your ablocker custom rules.

Nazis were and are a political group. Opposing them is political.

I have quite extensive content filter list that hides every post containing popular terms related to US politics. Often that means hiding two thirds of my front page. However, what remains is still all politics.

Why is it like this? I have no idea. Maybe they're trying to keep this place as unattractive for new users as possible.

Well, you can benefit from the instability if you’ve got the means to buy the dip. In my case, though, whatever’s going on in the world doesn’t really affect my investment strategy - I just keep buying the same amount every single month no matter what.
