I hate it as a tactic that’s been used on me, but darn if it isn’t effective. Also I genuinely appreciate people who offer their advice when I’m doing something foolishly, but my actions are from a place of genuine ignorance, not trying to catch someone into my friend circle.
Do something poorly/dangerous in the gym, attach yourself (politely) to the person who comes to help,
Or do something you’re passionate about and offer your knowledge to people who are earnestly trying their best but not doing it well (be conscience and ask if they’d like your experience to guide them)
Alternatively go hang out at an old folks home, they’d love your company, they’ll regail you with stories from their glory days, and they’ll probably talk you up to their family.
Volunteer your time at animal shelters/public service events.
Very easy to tell if someone knows what they wrote about in a two minute conversation. My wife grades/t.a’s at a university, it’s obvious when someone doesn’t know the information in person (and she’s very understanding towards people who cannot verbalize the information but still know it). The old professors aren’t very keen to it, but the graders can very easily smell the bullshit.
And if you know the information well enough, but send it through gpt for editing/refinement, that’s usually accepted, unless you’re in a class that grades on composition.
It’s black cat time!
This young guy could learn from a regal fella like yours.
Look back in ten years and do the figures yourself.
It’s not bad unless you want it to be bad. In ten years it’ll be nothing.
But CBS News is literally where the content is from???
Reddit is just another aggregator, and I won’t understand why people still use it.
Reddit, why do people still use it?

Here’s my tip, for Lemmy hopefully it will never get so popular as to not work any more.
Answer the phone for unknown numbers, don’t say a g-d thing, just listen. Let them address you first.
If they ask for you by name go ahead and respond, if they call back answer with a generic “hi” greeting, don’t let them have your voice or name before you know who they are and what their business is.
A robot will mark your number as a “dead line” and not call you again.
A person will either be trying to reach you (and know who you are) or trying to reach a living person, and not waste their time with an unresponsive line.
Nor will you be taking my family, my friends or my neighbors.
Time and contribution from users like me and you, probably more you because you’ve posted something!
Support the communities you enjoy, and report the trolls in the comments. Block people who are trying to cause trouble and encourage others to do the same.
That’s the crux of my statement, yes.
AI doesn’t scare me.
How people respond to it scares me
And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.
Now I’m frightened to my core.
AI doesn’t scare me.
People making decisions off of AI scare me.
The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.
By all means you should acknowledge it was planned.
That there are no prominent discussions of conspiracy from our past outspoken conspiracy ideologues shows how fucked up the entire situation is
That would get them regulated, they’re only going after the “correct” “bad people”
You mean soccer? The term coined by the English before it replaced what we called football over here?
Used to*
Still do
But used to too!
I’m fond of the Washington football team moniker, I feel they should’ve become the warthogs, could’ve even tied in military sponsorship the NFL loves so much with the a-10
No skilcraft government pen?
Sports teams?
I’m fond of the Washington football team
Hell yes! Grandma was wild! I love old person stories, so many of them are fabricated, but also so many that I think are fabricated turn out to be legitimate. Oh you did party with (famous people from back in the day)? No shit…
