I played lacrosse in middle school, and when we’d stop we’d try taking the caps from our Gatorades and rolling them on the windshield of cars next to us.

I can’t stand littering now, I do town cleanups, and maybe it’s my way of trying to undo my stupidity.

They’re still shit. I bring my young kids to the park and around 430 the 12-15 year old kids roll in and are an absolute menace, like clockwork. Littering, cursing loudly, riding their bikes in between the play equipment.

I think there’s a certain age where shitheads will always be shitheads. They get this little taste of freedom that comes with adolescence and they go overboard. I think it is just a part of life.

I try to say to my kids, hey, you don’t like how they’re acting now right? Then don’t do it when you’re their age. We will see if that works.

End homelessness, 20-30B. Yeah, that’s a real number!

I am totally against the war, but these numbers are complete from the depths of someone’s ass.

I know some intelligent and artistic people who use AI, and some lazy people at well. I know folks who have niche intelligence and general intelligence who use it and don’t. It’s almost like literally everything else, where subsets of the population will either use it or not use it, and the “it” itself is not some determining factor in deciding the value of a person.

This thread is just another Lemmy superiority circle jerk, but hey, here we are. So jerk away guys.

I also don’t use it, don’t like it, but I also don’t judge people based on whether or not they use it, because I do plenty worth judging myself.

I tell people I’m from New Jersey. Always have. America has always been way, way too broad a term. I don’t feel any connection with people from Texas or California, certainly not any of the deep south. Shit, I barely feel a connection with people from Pennsylvania.

If they say “Huh, New Jersey?” I say I’m an hour from NYC, and then that usually keeps that discussion rolling in a nice way.

I never even thought of calling 1000 kilopascals a MEGAPASCAL. Haven’t dealt with physics or anything since the cup of coffee that was my college career, so I don’t exactly go around using it, but I love it. I just love it.

Lemme grab my sledgehammer.

Unless their hold is in their castle!

Except people just straight up copy paste gpt output. At the very least people would say “I googled and got this result and that result.” We’ve taken what was minimal work and made it minimaler.

Affect is a verb and effect is a noun. Generally.
