Filtering swear words is a dark path the masses are willfully following. It's a subtle way to see if they can use AI to force us to change how we speak to align with a worldview. People need to fucking resist it.

Interesting take. Care to elaborate what role AI plays in this context? Recognizing swear words in image files, I guess?

Also I'm willfully using more swear words on Lemmy if it means they won't farm my comments for training their fucking piss shit AI without my goddamn consent. Horsefuckers!

It's using AI to filter or reduce interactions with words puritans and Chinese censors find "offensive" but to the other responses point, it goes deeper. They train the AI not to cuss, not to be able to discuss sex at all, and to avoid topics that the developers' companies or countries don't like. But we're never shown what they push for or are guarded from by the companies releasing them, so the shift is subtle.

May I ask what "Chinese censors" have to do with anything? It's completely feasible to me that this is an all-American problem, imposed on us for the sake of brand friendliness; same as it's been for other instances of censorship like network censors on television or the YouTube adpocalypse; and carried over into our language now more generally to end up in a place like lemmy. It's perfectly explained by the attitudes and surface-level friendliness of "polite society" in western culture. I don't see the point in using a foreign adversary to explain it away, or pretending that censorship is anything different when it's done by a government vs private entities that shouldn't have that kind of unchecked authority over what we're allowed to communicate in the first place. I also have no reason to believe China gives any fucks about the vulgarity of English speakers on the English internet. It just seems weird to me to bring them up here.

There's also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they'd then completely fail to convey anything.

[–] ChillCapybara@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 6 days ago

So, so much. Then realizing you typed two paragraphs replying to a text. Then spend 30 minutes on full re-edits until your self doubt makes you eventually delete it all and simply respond “ok” where normal people only take 10 seconds to type that and yet you get annoyed by their lack of communication. And thus the self hatred spiral continues, as ever.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I use dashes - like this - and feel called out.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 12 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Listen there is nothing wrong with having used both commas, dashes and parentheses in the same comment. It's perfectly normal.

Right?

Don't forget to add brackets along with the parenthesis so you can have a clarifying thought during your clarifying thought

After years and years of hard work and therapy, I'm now a hilarious mix of the two.

You might ask, "How is your sink so empty and your kitchen so clean, but your clean laundry is piled so high that this is probably your entire wardrobe here on the floor next to the dryer?"

Well, I would answer, "How did you get in my house and would you like something to eat?"

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I climbed through the window, because I thought I saw a kitty, but turns out is just a pillow. and yes

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 days ago

If you check under the blanket next to the pillow, there is a sleeping kitty. He is greedy for pets and will meow at you.

This is a trap. If you start petting him, you're never allowed to stop.

Never. Allowed. To. Stop.

Fuck it, I don't seem to have AD(H)D. That's why I've spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can't fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I'm so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

Sometimes it's both, where you mask to seem like the first, while being the second.

I'm held together by anxiety, caffeine and an unhealthy amount of self hate.

I also have 7 list, a board, 3 reminder app and leave sticky notes everywhere but I least I'm productive ( please help )

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I think this division exists in any population that has something other people call a "disorder". There's always the yeah I have it, go fuck yourself group and the no no no, I'm totally normal just like you group.

I've learned to appreciate my chaos for life's spice. I'm an Absurdist. I like to be the reason others do things. All that to say i rather enjoy the freedoms of peace and everyone should add a bit of flower magic to their life.
