I think the part of their humanity that feels empathy, bonds, compassion and so on are completely absent in some people. But more than that, not only are they incapable of feeling or reciprocating love and empathy, they also have a sadistic appetite for other people’s suffering and little else can satiate them.
Those anchor points (stable people) are essential. It’s why I try to be less of an introvert these days. You never know who you’re helping just by being explicitly decent.
Jesus. That doesn’t sound like a momentary lapse in judgment the way you describe it, but a trait. Must have been horrendous. Well done for not turning out like that.
I know the feeling. I was lucky that my first therapist was solid as a rock and spotted things I wasn’t even aware of. But working through it was damn tough.
You deserve a good life now and I hope you get it.
Glad to hear that. I’m only a few chapters in but it’s excellent so far and there is no filler. It can bring up memories, but it’s like the gym: worth it.
I’m glad you’re maintaining a boundary that sounds right for you. I won’t be attending my father’s funeral at all.
I assume that was absolutely calculated for maximum pain. I’m so sorry.
That is utterly evil (ok the everyday sense). Glad you were prepped for that, but I’m very sorry that you’ve had life experiences that taught you it was necessary.
I’m reading this at the moment. It sounds like you might have active abuse rather than detached neglect (which I believe is also abuse).
This stuff impacts us and those around us in the future. From personal experience it’s well worth talking to a pro about it.
Apparently the advice is that because the domain is so young, emails could get filtered into spam https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/117140609785780347
Yes, I would assume that defederated instances would just have to be ignored. I hadn’t thought of this. Good point.
That’s cool. They’re halfway there. If there was an option to choose one to have your post added as a comment it would be perfect imo.
Yeah. Choice is essential.
Considering the vast amounts of knowledge it has at its disposal, I can only conclude that it’s not very smart at applying it. A person with a fraction of that knowledge will produce better results.
So it has more access to information, but the results are poor compared to a person.
According to Cybernews research team, the only route to a definitive answer is to invoke your GDPR rights if you’re in the UK or EU.
ClarityCheck’s privacy policy lists a privacy officer contact. Put these questions to them directly:
Do you hold, or have you held, any image of me in the faces or profiles stores?
Was any image of me within the set exposed between [DATE1] and [DATE2]?
What was the source of each image, and which user account submitted it?
Was an Article 34 notification to affected individuals considered, and on what basis was it decided against?
But how do I identify myself to these people, and is it safe to do so …
The researchers caution against reading the deactivation as evidence of impaired cognitive function. As they put it in the paper, “this deactivation should not be interpreted as a failure of cognitive control capacity.” Instead, the team argues the pattern likely reflects an adaptive shift toward low-effort, automatic processing during passive, low-conflict viewing. They note that participants remained actively engaged throughout the task, skipping disliked clips on roughly 57 percent of trials, which the authors say points to sustained evaluation rather than disengagement or mind-wandering.
Maturity is realising that technology is another form of consumerism, and that the world needs active participants - not consumerists- to make it a better one.
I can’t unsee it now!
“G’morning Walter. How ‘bout that traffic on deck 12 today!”
Now that you mention it, I would love to have tags for the episodes including negotiation and other elements.
I hope you get a constructive answer.
You cannot run it locally and have the same thing that oligarchs and big-tech have at their disposal.
