We're in the post-truth era. People have been taught that scientific consensus is equal in weight to their feelings on an issue. Climate change can be dismissed as fake news even though there is abundant evidence, it's a disturbing thought so it can just be thrown out.
I was a prolific user of BitTorrent early, and I knew very few people who used it, let alone understood the basics of it. Now it seems like arcane knowledge, young folks have no idea. This is just my IRL experience though.
It's so weird to me. I live in a place where people like their meat cooked to total destruction of flavor and tenderness, and that's how it's done. You can order a rare steak and get medium. I still like thin dough well done when it comes to pizza though, New York pizza basically.
Well yeah, I've read the majority of the King James bible. I guess you could count me as a Christian for several years, because I was in a church until I wasn't forced to go. Revelation is definitely the most interesting part that was included in that version.
This is more of a counter-argument. I've frequently seen supporters of the death penalty claim it is cheaper than housing the person in prison for life. But this is false.
It's strange to me that this article makes a point to keep using the term generative AI instead of Large Language Model. Am I just mixed up? Are these terms interchangeable?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I am severe ADD as well and I function between ok and great when I am needed by someone else but have a hard time making myself do anything like cleaning during unstructured time.
I need deadlines and start times, for instance my job. If one of my neighbors asks for my help I get right on it. I spent four hours building and installing a new exhaust setup for my neighbor's truck last month, all the while unable to make myself do 15 minutes of vacuuming.
I'm medicated. It gets worse the more depressed I am, which is particularly bad right now because of romantic relationship ending, lack of consistent work, and I hate cold weather and winter darkness.
Didn't mean to info dump but to get to the point, the roommate is in far worse shape than me. Maybe OP could set a schedule for them. Maybe even lean into the fear reaction by saying something like "I'm going to be very upset if all this isn't cleaned up by 6:00pm tomorrow". That sounds mean but people like me absolutely need the structure and deadline.
I'm in my 40s but, in a general sense, I'm still 25 in my mind. I'm a bit wiser than when I was actually 25 though.
