  • I can take social situations in private places like someone’s home, or even public places like parks. I expect people to enjoy themselves.

    Me and a couple friends went to Texas Roadhouse and were seated in a section that had a ~1 foot partition between booths. A little later a couple of guys were seated opposite of the partition, in a booth running parallel to ours. We were nauseated by the smell and asked to be reseated. They ironically sat us in a corner booth decorated with Willie Nelson pictures on the walls and table, with a neon sign that read Willie’s Corner. We felt bad for the couple that were shortly seated in that same booth. We had a really good meal.

    I fully support someone’s freedom to do what they want as long as they’re not bothering others. Reeking of weed while we spend upwards to 50 bucks for a meal (prices are nuts now) is unacceptable.

  • People aren’t walking around smelling like fish they ate 12 hours ago. I can’t smell someone’s cologne from two cars ahead of me.

  • I can stand smoke. It’s annoying, but it’s fine. Pot is smells like a No. 2 pencil eraser factory on fire. It’s nowhere close to the same.

  • God I would love it if pot smelled like the McDonalds quarter pounder with cheese. Maybe AI can figure it out.

  • That’s fine. Smoking is banned in most public places.

  • You need to eat. You don’t need to smoke. Weed stinks like nothing else. Try again.

  • Totes fine with people smoking pot, provided said pot is odorless.

  • Journalists need to survive. AI is a tool for profit, with no need to eat, sleep, pay for kids clothes or textbooks.

  • Piracy by another name. Copyrighted materials are being used for profit by companies that have no intention of compensating the copyright holder.

  • Using a tool to copy someone else’s work and then profiting off that work without compensating or even attributing the source is stealing.

  • Taking someone else’s work and using it without crediting them or compensating them is theft. If Open AI made a deal with The NY Times to train its product using the papers content, which it would turn around and sell to its own customer base, that would be ethical. What Open AI and other companies like it are doing are stealing ahead of actual law that defines what they’re doing as such.

  • AI training is piracy by another name.

  • Saw a few episodes. Seemed witty but not for me.

  • HEAR HERE! (I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO USE WHEN SHOUTING THIS EXPRESSION IN SUPPORT OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING)

  • Just call them "clips." /s Seriously though, the aesthetic of Kbin is its best feature, but the concept behind the threads seems. I dunno. Weird. Lemmy feels janky and basic, like old Reddit. 💗

  • About 15 years ago I was going somewhere with my family. Stepmom and I were talking about Climate Change then, how if things didn’t change that massive starvation was likely, that crazed weather would be irreversible, etc. and she noticed that my 10 year old niece’s eyes were getting huge. She was genuinely disturbed by the conversation and began to say is this really going to happen? Before I could plainly reply my stepmom reassured her that no, things were going to be fine, and we changed the subject.

    Niece is in mid twenties now and subject to the reality of the situation as it slowly unfolds, like an asteroid headed toward the earth at 5 mph. The future is dreadful to her.

  • A toast to everyone in this thread that decided to not have kids! 🥂
