Honestly, I wish there were proper places for people like us. I don’t have the grace to write as much and as well as you, but you hit the nail right in the head, and see the whole picture.

And that stuff happens pretty much everywhere, I got lucky I am autistic, bisexual, got raised by a very hands-on dad, and therefore, far more open to male bonding than your average guy.

The whole system has flaws, and most people are too blind to see we are all being pitted against each other and farmed for content, attention and ad revenue.

I would like to find a true MGTOW community without bullshit strewn in. Last time I tried joining a community of that sort, all their looksmaxing stuff made me feel very uncomfortable. I’m almost 40 and a little bit pudgy, but I’m happy with my current body.

That’s horrifying, I love it

Bright side of Lemmy, you can say fuck. Downsides include, death of nuance, dogpiling, herd behavior and people who try to take down others.

Would you kindly read the article you linked? It literally says the entry is for COJONES, not CAJONES.

This is just like some Americans getting upset and doubling down when people point out that Colombia is the name of a country, and it is not spelled Columbia(Unlike the several places called Columbia in their country).

Edited to add the screenshot.

I always had issues with that phrase. The first thing I would do is go to the hospital, since that is a sign of a massive hernia. Also, cajones means drawers or boxes, the word you’re looking for is cojones.

When using aphorisms, please try and Google them.

A pet peeve of mine is gratuitous and incorrect use of my native languages.

Damn, that is both unhelpful and pedantic as fuck. Still got no clue of what that makes a reference to. Congrats?

Super easy to assume when you’re no actually betting. Or finding a 5,000 page dissertation. But of course, moving the goalposts, claiming it was a hyperbole, grandstanding and virtue signaling without actually checking yourself for biases is all what most people do, on any end of the sociopolitical spectrum.

And tagging anything you disagree with as neckbeard, incel and other derrogative, thought ending cliches, while defending blanket statements about entire groups of people, hard to believe the cognitive dissonance doesn’t make more people uncomfortable.

Edit: And the main reason why you hardly ever see any sexist comment like that about women here in Lemmy is because a lot of people, me included, report them on sight, and the mods are great at removing them, as well as rightfully so, banning the offending users.

Feel free to test it out if you’d like, make a post or a comment like that about women, and watch it dissappear. Because sexism and bigotry should have no place here. And it is very health to actually test your theories and biases.

And you sound like someone who polices choices, swallow the onion whole, feeds the trolls AND takes ragebait at face value.

I truly hope you get to see the world and yourself with kinder, more reality based eyes one day.

I point out shitty behavior, no matter the source. Hence why I am pointing out your very shitty behavior, that you’re too biased to even comprehend.

Open garbage can > Look in > Mostly garbage.

How very insightful of you, mate.

There are some amazing people in FetLife, and in Grindr too. But like I said before, looking at the very bottom of the barrel and judging a whole gender based on it, that is beyond stupid.

Ugh, casual sexism. Look at the bottom of the barrel, and judge an entire gender by the way those behave.

A lot of guys, gay or otherwise, don’t think or behave like that. And by your own definition, you’re also the worst. Sucks to have that terrible self esteem, but don’t lump me up with your self-hating ass

Thank you for being the voice of reason and your patience with some people. A lot of people succumb to The Toupee Fallacy (A form of selection bias in which a thing whose quality is measured in terms of being difficult to detect is wrongly judged to be of poor quality in general, caused by the fact that most people only notice poor quality instances of it.).

I stopped showering every day for medical reasons and under medical supervision when I was young, and that really helped with my smell(Turns out I had both a fungal infection, and a hormonal disorder), and the habit stayed. My hair and my skin do a lot better, and due to the nature of my job, I would certainly know if I smelled, since I am often meeting clients and other team leads.

Having a bidet, applying deodorant daily and changing my clothes daily as well, added to working in climate controlled spaces, away from the sun, crowds and smelly habits like smoking are all factors that some people seem incapable of even considering.

But of course, this is Lemmy, where nuance often just fucking dies.

Because Lemmy is a most of the time a kind, left leaning socialist utopia, unless it is about cars, and men. And if it is about both, boy oh boy. And if you added AI, you’d get a trifecta of negativity.

It is gross to me, seeing so many up voted comments body shaming, some stranger for the car they drive, but the in-group bias is massive.

I wonder if they would be this gross if it was a woman driving the car.

Lmao, this post is about you. Literally.

Who talked about image generation? That one is pretty much useless, for anything that needs to be generated on the fly like that, a stick figure would do.

Devouring text like that, has been instrumental in learning for my students, especially for the ones who have English as a Second Language(ESL), so its usability in teaching would be interesting to discuss.

Do I think general open LLMs are the future? Fuck no. Do I think they are useless and unjustifiable? Neither. I think, at their current state, they are a brilliant beta test on the dangers and virtues of large language models and how they interact with the human psyche, and how they can help bridge the gap in understanding, and how they can help minorities, especially immigrants and other oppressed groups(Hence why I advocated for providing a class on how to use it appropriately for my ESL students) bridge gaps in understanding, help them realize their potential, and have a better future.

However, we need to solve or at least reduce the grip Capitalism has on that technology. As long as it is fueled by Capitalism, enshitification, dark patterns and many other evils will strip it of its virtues, and sell them for parts.

A based point of view, Bravo, my dear. Do you know how rare that is? People in here love to think about themselves as free thinkers, when a lot of them are in reality, reactionary at best.

Same for citing renting, landlords and Ai. They are disgustingly evil when used for profit, but they also have their uses. In another comment I’m sure will be downvoted to hell, if not outright buried, I mention the uses of GenAI for translation, text simplification, summarization and studying, yet people got the whole “AI=BAD” as a thought-terminating cliche.

GenAI is a great tool for devouring text and making practice questions, study guides and summarize, it has been used as a marvelous tool for education and research. Hell, if set properly, you can get it to give you the references and markers on your original data for where to find the answers to the questions on the study guide it made you.

It is also really good for translation and simplification of complex text. It has its uses.

But the oversimplification and massive broad specs LLMs have taken, plus lack of proper training for the users, are part of the problem Capitalism is capitalizing on. They don’t care for the consumer’s best interest, they just care for a few extra pennies, even if those are coated in the blood of the innocent. But a lot of people just foam at the mouth when they hear “Ai”.

So weird, Right? I get the same with Ketchup, for some reason, it just tastes off-putting and disgusting to me, like vinegar and sugar, with a bit weird chemical aftertaste and maybe a hit of tomato, lol.

I see people coating their hot dogs and fries with that and just think “Ew, but to each, their own”

Honestly, thst is very subjective. I love tamarind and pepper candy, vanilla ice cream with spicy chips, and honey plus roasted chillies marinade for pork.

And I say this as someone who is not into spicy food, there are a few combinations out there, where the sweet and spicy mix actually work great for a snack.

Is that why most AI company logos look like anuses? To look like old donny’s shitty facehole?
