Those screenshots looks an awful lot like AI, be careful with that... AI has no problem letting people wallow in learned helplessness. Regardless, getting stuck in a rut is a real thing that most people go through, many times throughout life. The job market is abysmal right now, especially for the average individual. It's almost effortless nowadays to be overqualified for the minimum wage work, and underqualified for work at a livable wage. And that's without considering whether companies even want more employees...
the user you advised that to uses lemmy as their personal venting diary, they're a regular. people probably didn't like the way you wrote it because they missed the latter word "just" in your post, misinterpreting the meaning entirely
Maybe skim this recent post? https://lemmy.world/post/43616899
Lot of folks chimed in about their opinions on many different wiki approaches, my takeaway was that Bookstack looked like something I'd wanna use in the future, but there's a lot of stuff covered in there.
As nice as this would be, it's not very likely... Licenses are usually limp suggestions from the perspective of companies with billions of dollars. AI companies train on millions of copyrighted materials, both literature and art, without any express permission from the authors or artists, and with essentially no recourse or compensation to the authors. You could append a 'no AI training' clause to an existing license like the MIT license, but the impact that will have will mostly be brief personal satisfaction and won't change what the AI companies do. It's genuinely more useful to keep code proprietary to prevent it from being used to train AI models.
I've got some Western Digital and Samsung HDDs I bought refurbished a while ago in a RAID10 configuration for 4 TB total. Recently setup backups to that and an SSD, the read/write speeds are slow but tolerable and I'm not doing anything that needs high throughput. For backups from multiple machines, it does the job and I make sure to upload the encrypted backups to remote storage once a month so if there's any catastrophic data loss on my end it's all recoverable.
No LLMs used here, just regular old fashioned search engines and common sense. Not that I expect that to convince you :D I wouldn't bother wasting an LLM's time on this, it's much more entertaining not to. If you feel so inclined, I'd be curious what your take on antiandrogen medications, serotonergic agents or gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists for treatment is, since it seems effective in the limited trials that have taken place. Of course, there should always be more thorough research into the capacity for full remission.
Of course not, an individual with such a disorder can be successfully treated to reduce if not fully eliminate pedophilic urges or inclinations. Medications and treatments are available to reduce sexual libido and urges in afflicted individuals, as well as to rebuild the mental pathways from pedophilic to normophilic, without altering sexual orientation. A resource to consider is the Handbook of Clinical Sexuality for Mental Health Professionals by Stephen B Levine, Candace B Rice, Stanley E Althof. For a study, as you've requested, feel free to give Changes in Sexual Arousal as Measured by Penile Plethysmography in Men with Pedophilic Sexual Interest a cursory reading.
A sexual preference towards men, women, or nonbinary isn’t a mental illness. A sexual preference to children is. Refer to this for further explanation.
Most mental illnesses can be successfully treated, many live to tell the tale. Drug addicts who become treated are no longer addicts, sufferers of emotional cognitive disorders who become successfully treated are no longer emotionally suffering. Some disorders are treatment resistant, and afflicted individuals undergo life-long consistent maintenance therapy.
A sexual preference towards men, women, or nonbinary isn't a mental illness. A sexual preference to children is.
Someone who undergoes resident rehabilitation as a pedophile and is successfully treated results in someone who is no longer a pedophile. That permanently removes the pedophile from society.
It's pretty simple, thorough and extensive rehabilitation to treat and rid individuals of the severe mental illness, such that they're fit for reintroduction into society. That's how rehab works.
I wouldn't consider resident rehabilitation punishment, more of an opportunity really, but it still serves the purpose of keeping those people away from the rest of society and reintegrating them once they're fit to be around vulnerable individuals
I never made that point, so I didn't address it. After you said "I’d rather remove you from society" it was pretty clear to me you were letting emotions get the best of you. Again, no need for ad hominem depictions.
Yeah? For example, I don't pity people with extremely violent urges, I want them far away from peaceful civilized society. Pedos just the same, no pity, just the desire for them to be very far away from everyone else.
I genuinely believe that all rapists should be removed from society, regardless of gender. It wasn't very complicated of a point, surely you're smart enough to pick up on that, without resorting to ad hominem.
Some people are truly sick and need a lot of help to change how their minds work. I respect your partner and their line of work. Hopefully they all can undergo thorough and intensive rehabilitative care as far away from society as possible until they are fit to be around vulnerable people.
You'd agree of course, that pedophiles should be removed from society? Is the idea of shaming pedophiles and pedo apologists some kind of line in the sand that shouldn't be crossed in your eyes?
