In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I'm guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you'll find the time

I go through waves. Sometimes I don't want to play games at all, and during those times I do some of my other hobbies/activities. Summer especially I spend a lot of time outside. I would advise against spending money to try and fix what just might be a temporary thing. Not to say you shouldn't buy a SteamDeck if you want one outside of the fatigue, just don't let that be the only reason.

How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment. School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people. Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

Apologies if I come off as upset, I am not. I don't feel I was even a target of those comments. I was just pointing out that some of those folks might have come out swinging due to the perceived tone of the original comment, and calling other people names does not help that situation. My real hope was that they would be a little more careful with their words since tone hard to convey in text, and using words associated with people that more often then not are not acting in good faith can convey either aggressiveness or just outright trolling

Use of the word "trigger" is the key part here. It is most often used by right wingers just trying to piss people off ("triggering the libs"). Starting off with that and then commenting on how people are "sanctimonious" for expressing valid opinions are what tell me you were less than open to an actual conversation. It has nothing to do do with the post itself (though I tend to agree she really doesn't say anything of value) and more to do with how you are going about interacting with people like a right wing troll. Hell even in this comment you end with a common right wing dismissive phrase (virtue signalling) that, again, tells other people you don't want a conversation

African Jackals are closest based on what I have seen. Dire wolves and north American canids might share a common ancestor, though

Not only that, but grey wolves aren't even the closest related existing species, and some scientists that work at Colossal wrote the study saying as much. If you want to call it a new species, sure, I could see it, but a dire wolf it is not

Now look at the comments in here, a bunch of sanctimonious people with too much appreciation for their own thoughts and a lack of any semblance of basic behaviour.

Is there a word for a sentence that does the same thing it describes?

There is no reason to denigrate people because they don't agree with you or don't like the nature of LLMs/generative algorithms. It really feels like you came looking for a fight ("I know the title will trigger people") and trying to dismiss folks that point out this does not fix the fundamental problems with LLMs

How is From going downhill?

Or Sceptre if you want a non-smart TV.

It might be anti intellectualism in me

Ah, ok, well I see we are done here.

Have a good one

  1. Anarchy is not the precursor to feudalism (and even feudalism as a concept is hotly debated among historians). That statement is also incredibly Eurocentric. The reality is there was a large variety of political and social structures around the world. Hell, just look at pre-colonial Native Americans and the huge variety in culture there

  2. You are defining anarchy differently than a majority of people. And fine, whatever, but you are going to get in a lot of pointless arguments because you are coming at it with the incoreect notion that anarchy means chaos. Especially on a heavily leftist platform that has a lot of anarchists.

I recommend doing some reading and getting caught up on modern anarchist ideas instead of spouting that kind of nonsense. Hell, look into some anarchist societies and see what they are/were about. Also note that most of the non-extant ones are so because of state violence against them.

 

We finished the last piece of the cat path I posted about earlier! This one goes from the laundry room, to the stairwell, and then into the guest bedroom on the upper floor (yes, I know the carpet needs replaced in that closet). They are already using them and seem to love the new path already.

My partner and I have been talking about making some cat paths in our house since long before we owned our house. We recently got 2 new dogs, so now it is a high priority project. The first step was putting up some shelves in the hallway and making a portal from the hallway to the bedroom closet (you can see it just above the tent). The surround for the portal is this 3D printed tunnel

The next project is going to be putting a portal from the spare bedroom into the stairwell so they can go up and down floors without the dogs being in the way

I am stripping and re-sealing a corner shower stall, and am having a hell of time removing all the old caulk. I also discovered the previous homeowners decided to just caulk over the previous caulk that was on there, so I am removing 2 or 3 layers depending on the location. It was leaking in the spots that had 3 layers so I think they just added more caulk to "fix" leaks. I have the chemical caulk remover, and that certainly helps, but it still is taking a metric fuck-ton of manual labor. Any tricks/suggestions for removal of very old caulk? I am about to throw a scotch brite on a palm sander and go to town.
