Yeah, she asked me to stop because it made her more self conscious.

Man, you guys are fucking AWFUL exploitative enterprises don’t give q shot .I from the I’m fucked because I don’t support the allegiant

Bullshit

Such as?

Of course not, but when good communication is stifled by a field of eggshells, you do what you can.

Our communication on the subject is pretty good, but that alone doesn’t solve the issue. It’s hard to see a way to open that line of communication without them being offended

The hard part is communicating my needs without trampling on their feelings, because at a certain point the onus shifts off of me and I don’t want my SO to have that pressure

Unfortunately I retired from drinking

I really appreciate your answer

But the fact that I’ve never pushed anything is actually part of the issue. I’ve been happy to let my SO go at their own pace, but by their own admission it’s why I don’t get the sexual gratification I’d enjoy. Like, when we first started dating they were the ones pushing me to engage in penetrative sex while I wanted to hold off.

Although that backfired on me because my penis doesn’t work.

The hard part is that they’ve stated that the reason they don’t offer to get me off when they’re not up to sex is because I don’t ask enough, but I don’t ask enough because if they’re not feeling well enough for sex then it seems shitty of me to ask for personal gratification at all.

But it’s really hard to gauge when they’re not feeling well enough to do anything, and when they’re well enough to do it

Not that me cumming is directly relational to me seeing them naked, but it speaks to my hesitation to ask. Because I do ask to see, but they seem to intentionally conflate me asking to see with me asking for sex, even though I’ve explained that when I ask to see I’m literally asking to see them naked.

I have asked for them to think of a way I can ask for personal gratification without seeming callous to their feelings, but like most requests of this nature it falls on deaf ears. Probably because they’re demisexual and don’t really understand a cis gendered straight male on testosterone’s sex drive.

Bro, literally all I said was that the training dataset was the same.

I’m well aware of how generative AI works. I’m an industry professional who attended the very first AI/ML training course by a major cloud provider back in 2023 and was instrumental in changing the way they operated the AI side of the house.

But the parallels are there. Neural networks are designed based on the human brain, and vector driven databases aren’t super dissimilar to how neurons interact. A ton of human memory and processing is based on referential data, like gen AI.

Yes, it might not be able to approximate human intelligence and the actual workings of the brain yet, but it’s on its way.

People tend to forget how computers used to take up entire floors of office buildings and a simple hard drive was the size of an industrial washing machine. Gen AI is in its infancy, and while its current state is highly inefficient and flawed, that’s all the reason for it to improve.

Is current gen AI a solution for anything? Absolutely not. Is it a stepping stone towards true artificial intelligence? Absolutely.

I swear, Lemmy users would have been the people complaining that Excel and Word would be the downfall of society. There are absolutely legitimate complaints about the technology, but to completely dismiss it without looking at the nuances of the situation is assanine.

The truth is that it’s entirely possible for a business to ethically use an LLM. I know this for a fact because I was intimately involved in the implementation of one. The entire thing was trained on our proprietary dataset that had been built over 40 years of industry experience, on our servers which were powered by green energy.

Or heavy metal poisoning

He’s one of the few congressmen that’s actually trying to rally people to get involved to fight back against this.

He’s pretty limited on what he can do being basically the only progressive in the government.

I found out about it when it actually caught me putting something in a bag without scanning it, because I was on autopilot and not paying attention to what I was doing.

But, like you, the employee didn’t give a fuck.

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.

There is a method similar to a sheep shank knot that is super useful for very long cables, and you can use the over/under method for making the required loops.

Didn’t they just start shipping grid size salt batteries too?

Not to mention the fact that it takes on average 18 months to hire someone.

I’m honestly surprised Trump hasn’t broken out the “take the guns now and figure out due process later,” stuff yet.

Yeah, there’s definitely a difference between a person being attracted to children and a person raping children/consuming CSAM.

The first group deserves help to make sure they don’t become the second group, and the second group deserves prison.

Especially considering that it’s definitely not uncommon for the first group to have been victims of the second.

Going for the balls and throat is always a good self defense option.

But honestly, unless you’re training very regularly, the training in those classes will be forgotten once the adrenaline kicks in. For most people it needs to be committed to muscle memory to use in a panic situation.

Exactly. 99.9999% of consumers don’t give a fuck as long as they can still access Facebook and TikTok.

I think they were being sarcastic.
