Lower your standards. Half-ass fold things. Don’t use hangers. I drape over the drying rack and have gotten pretty adept at a quick lift and couple of shitty folds into a stack. Another tip is to have clothing that don’t care about wrinkles (synthetics, sports clothing). Then you can just throw them into a drawer. I have pretty homogeneous clothing (all the same featureless t-shirt in black, white, grey, same underwear, etc). This helps with the organizing on to the drying rack. I know exactly how many of each goes where and it is trivial to color coordinate so the half ass folding naturally collates the stacks.

I wait to do laundry every couple of weeks. It all fits in one load most of the time (bought largest high efficiency machine, 12kg capacity). Some clothing gets more than one use before washing, and it entirely depends on how active I am in that clothing.

All of this helps me personally mitigate my extreme disdain at the task. Oh, and getting absolutely stoned out of my mind. Put on some tunes, it ain’t so bad either the draping (largest things first), or the shitty folding.

Only someone who regularly roasts babies on the barbie would know this 😉

Not really a clean room implementation. Source has been leaked. Plus GIMP and other FOSS tools that implement the same functionality are in the training data. Very likely this “clean room” implementation is just laundering code.

Then there’s also the hubris that rich fucks read every cautionary tale with. “Surely the powerful technology and the power it will give me wont corrupt me, I’ve read the cautionary tales about how power corrupts so I’ll know what to do to avoid that! Also I’m built different.”

I think this is assuming way too much intelligence, self-awareness, and introspection for said rich fucks. Sadly, wealth is not an indicator of any of those things.

pro-tip, make friends that are okay with you not masking. You’re filled with anxiety about their feelings on the matter. You’re a good person, but you’re not doing yourself or them any favors. Just be honest with yourself and with others. Life goes much easier if you turn down the masking and let that act as your social filter, naturally.

Next time they ask, be honest and set some boundaries. “I don’t really feel like it because every time we hang out, I have to pretend to be someone I am not and this sucks for my mental health. I feel guilty ghosting you when you ask. I don’t want to be an asshole, but I would appreciate if you would respect my wishes and wait for my reach out.” This gives you an out if you change your mind later. This acquaintance might not really know you well enough to infer your intent from your behavior. They may even be concerned for your well being given you mention depression. This blast of honesty should either let you drop the masking and gain a new friend, or deter further contact.

It is a screenshot of text. Obviously that makes it the meme-est meme of all memes.

It’s fine. All of this is borrowed money and commitments. The reason prices on RAM and GPUs are through the roof is because all of the future capacity has been spoken for. But when the datacenters all that silicon is supposed go into don’t arrive, all of that booked demand evaporates. I think we’ll see a very nice market correction. Big tech will be fine, but stock prices will tank. The US AI labs will continue to exist, but the chinese labs will gut their competitive advantage. US put all their eggs into this stupid AI basket and China will be happy to give away the tech to spit in the US’s soup.

Not to gatekeep yet again, but have you considered switching from the Drake meme to the Geordi one? No one likes Drake. Everyone loves Star Trek and Reading Rainbow.

It is appropriately get-off-my-lawn levels of energy, right? What’s terrible about becoming old is running out of fucks to give about sounding old 😉

This user in particular doesn’t seem to understand how to use the existing meme templates correctly.

Hey OP, I highly recommend you browse knowyourmeme to acquaint yourself with the rich internet history and lore you’re attempting to invoke.

Here is the explainer on the Fry, shut up and take my money meme:

Clever, but obviously not too curious 😉

Woah, I thought maybe the pic was flipped, but the text in the background says no. Yeah, it does appear they are all left handed. Sinister Fencers

I agree they absolutely could have explored way more interesting topics. Probably just lazy writing, honestly. Show is ending, Story must end too with the characters ending. Tidy. Irresponsible? Eh. I will say it really resonated with me that boredom should be a valid reason.

You gotta be real a real sub for Jesus to get into (one of many different versions of) Christian heaven. And remember, God loves you unconditionally, which is why if you don’t love him back, he will torture you in hell forever.

Can recommend. Just, uh, don’t watch the ending if you’re struggling with not wanting to live any more. They touch on how immortality is awfully boring after awhile and people should be able to choose to hit the off switch.

That’s a pure mastercrafted, genuine, bonafide Strawman.

We aren’t talking about money here. Or anything of real value. We’re talking about interacting with randos on the internet. It’s fun. It’s interesting. It is completely superfluous and not necessary. Fedihosting Stichting could decide they don’t wanna bother with this any more, and a large chunk of the fediverse goes poof. There is no permanence on the internet. Even the archives are spotty. I’ve cycled through so many aggregators, forums, IRC channels, XMPP whatever from the early internets to now. It all turns to mulch eventually. Meta will ditch facebook once enough of the olds die off. Reddit will be another Digg someday. So, getting a ban and getting butthurt over it is simply not worth the energy. I’ve given my share of fucks and none of it mattered. This too doesn’t matter.

I think all of the downvotes are from people that no clue what LaTeX is, lol. Fediverse is a hilarious microcosm of nerds assuming other nerds sometimes.

Meh. It is just the internet. Janitors can do crazy things given a modicum of power. Luckily, it is so incredibly low stakes, that it just isn’t worth being upset over lol.

Luckily the stakes are mega low. If someone makes a poor mod decision, that’s easy to reverse. If you want a team’s members each able to work independently but aligned, then you achieve consensus by other means: front-loading the work of creating a shared understanding such that any independent decision made according to the shared understanding would be stable regardless of which team member made it. Ultimately, this is a process relying on trust and cooperation. If a team member violates that trust or plays poorly with others, there should be a process or result. And what this consequence is should be baked in at the create-shared-understanding phase so there is no excuse for bad behavior within the team and an easy out if there are problems.

Unless cremated. But that applies to anyone.
