Turns out being exiled to suck grains of sand for individual molecules of moisture up through your early 20s isn’t as good for the resume as being inducted as a child into the fasttrack program for magic West Point.

I’m going to turn “wizard” back into an insult. Some smart-aleck tries to act bougie: “fuck off, wizard”

That’s way too on-the-nose.

And she could just be screaming to get people’s attention to an outbreak of vermin. People scream when they see a mouse in their house, and mice haven’t even ruined the world in centuries.

Yeah, that’s suspicious. It could be that it’s not automatic and they’re handwriting-typing it each time. I personally don’t have an email signature set up for the “Regards, Name” bit as I tend to change them based on tone and if I want an end signature at all.

I disagree with this comment only because it is building and bolstering the precedent that everyone is using these models all the time and every written thing is generated from an LLM, even when there is no evidence to support it.

The various grammar errors and random capitalizations push toward “human” and the only support for it being LLMgen’d is the fact that it is poetic.

Yeah, the very idea of discourse has been deconstructed so thoroughly that I can see someone saying “but humans are animals” as justification for being a monster. Or that you deserve to steal if you can find a gap in the laws preventing it.

I can see how you might have that internally, but the material imagery here is of something being stolen off a plate. It’s directly at cross-purposes with what would be at the top of people’s mind when interacting with the post (assuming they’re not the type to sprint to comment before engaging with the post at all).

I hope this was preplanned, and they didn’t just passively watch a cat ruin someone’s meal from a single table away.

It’s fine to steal from a company, but (literally) off another person’s plate?

I don’t suppose this is fighting against the assumption that marriage is a part of becoming a fully-fledged adult. So is the fear in this reality that you’d get force-bethrothed to an ugly woman (let’s not hold a mirror on that too long)? But what about the beautiful women? Are they given last pick or something?

Or, perhaps, would the beautiful women marry someone else, and you would be the dregs for the late, unlucky woman to scrape off the bottom of the barrel?

They’re talking like “bring food from home” is not an option. Do French people not have home kitchens and Tupperware?

Feel free to copy my response in a reply to them. And that doesn’t change the contents of your own response, isolated in the exchange between you and the thread OP.

However, I’m not reading every comment, so I’ll take my own advice and apologize if I caught you in your least charitable moment.

If you wanted them to explain their point more, why was the only thing in that comment a aggressively rhetorical appeal to no one based on your presumptions? Instead of articulating yourself that their point was unclear, you launched directly into an attack. Does the dissonance of that not…register with you?

You didn’t even apologize for the unwarranted and unflattering mischaracterization of their message. You just acted like they were the one holding out from a civil conversation: “That’s all I needed to hear.”
