  • Translating the text, it seems correct. Some AI can get that, but it means it's at least a lot more likely to be real.

  • How do you get yourself to do anything?

  • Its definitely easier to start with the list, but I can make one easy enough in the morning. I'm less likely to do the things on the list though. I can't let myself do anything that's time-based as a reward, like TV, k just forget everything else. Those sorts of things are for after the list is done.

  • Well I wasn't more productive (or less productive), but I definitely feel less guilty. Since I've been fairly confident that stress from guilt has been preventing me from accomplishing anything, I'm gonna keep trying and see if that works out.

    Relatedly, do you find you have to make the list the day of? Is it more the repeating out loud that's helpful? I expect for me, I'd be able to make a list the night before, but I don't think I'd be able to make one further out than that without me just ignoring it completely.

  • One reason this has more impact than it seems like it should is the flotilla was comprised of citizens of other nations.

    It's human nature to care more about you and yours than someone else, even if you do also care about someone else, and this triggers that feeling, where Israelis committing genocide against Palestinians do not.

    I just hope something comes of it.

  • Too specific. Needed at least a quick refresher on all ocean life first. Gotta let them get warmed up before you hit them with the good stuff.

  • All the things here.

    The method I've been having most success with lately is a severe restriction of myself.

    Part of that is because if I don't wanna do the Thing, it's so incredibly easy to forget the Thing, my mind doesn't wanna hold it.

    Currently, the routine I follow when I fail to self-motivate is

    1. Drop my kid off
    2. Maybe remember pills
    3. Maybe remember caffeine (coffee is my goto)
    4. Sit on the couch, think about my day
    5. The remote is close, do a YouTube on my TV.
    6. 4 YouTubes in, now understand the Chinese role in ww2 and the life cycle of 2 different moths, realize I have things to do.
    7. Get up, forget the things, make too much food.
    8. Watch things on my phone/scroll Lemmy/play mobile games
    9. Oh crap I have to get my kid

    I have found that removing individual parts, like telling myself "no YouTube today", only works temporarily, until I get distracted by something else, then I forget the new rule. So all it really does is reorder the schedule above.

    BUT, I have found that removing all of the distractions, even the important ones like food, until I have begun the important task, helps.

    So based on what I typed above, my rule for the day looks like No YouTube, no social media, no mobile games, no breakfast, no sitting on the couch I have to spell out each thing, I can't just say "no distractions", because the me in the moment thinks it's a break or I'm warming up to doing the thing, some nonsense.

    After an hour of doing the Thing, I get a break for breakfast, it is important. But once ive put that time into doing the Thing, it's a lot easier to get back to it.

    So the new schedule is

    1. Drop my kid off
    2. Know I need to do something, but the Thing has slipped my mind.
    3. Mentally run through a list of things I could do. Because so much is banned, and the Thing is forgotten, this turns up nothing.
    4. Realize I haven't taken my pills or made coffee, do those
    5. After those, I remember why those are all I'm allowed to do, and therefore remember the Thing.
    6. Delay a bit because the Thing is boring or hard, but still can't do anything else
    7. Do. The. THING. (For an hour)
    8. Breakfast, which feels so good, and dopamines the brain, hopefully making the Thing easier in the future.
    9. Do more Thing.

    I hope this helps. This is only possible because of my prescribed Meth, caffeine, and because I'm actually a lot better at telling myself what not to do than to just do something. Good luck, we all need it.

  • I'd personally translate it to the closest word they have.

    If I decided they didn't have a word that was directly equivalent, in this case I'd use the closest word, "light-emitting".

    Obviously that's not a hard barrier to him, but it means he needs to take more effort. He'll get to it, I'm sure.

  • I never used them that often. A standard "-" tends to do me just fine.

    But it's always a shame to be able to convey less in the same amount of characters.

  • Definitely it's best attempt to match Donald trump.

    Well, its best given the shitty prompt I'm sure it was given. "Be Donald trump, but make sure you're understandable and don't start unnecessary fights", or something like that.

  • Right? He doesn't even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn't a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

    So if this isn't AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

    Sidenote: wouldn't be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they've received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

    But the biggest thing is he didn't demand it, he requested it, and then asked what it would cost.
