Huh? Still going for me.

So, I got site-wide banned from reddit a while ago due to using the word “purge” on a post

So, you're leaving out the details as to why you really got banned. It's not because of the word itself, you used it in a context you knowingly placed it in.

We don't need millions of users to thrive as a community.

 

Technology is supposed to be simple, intuitive, basic and convenient.

But my experience today, has been infuriating, stress-inducing and unnecessarily excessive. I had to go to my local bank branch today to sign a PAL loan. I wouldn't have had to go in-person, if it wasn't for the overly annoying way my bank has to verify you. The digital signing document they sent me? Required a fucking verification. Like, to even ask for a PAL loan, you need to put down your information. So, why in the FLYING FUCK, do you NEED to verify me when I just gave you everything needed to know me by?!

Then, they wanted me to add my numbers to the settings for preferred contact. I kid you not, I had to have 3 codes sent to my phone number PER section. Home? 3 Codes. Mobile? 3 codes. That's SIX codes I had to have gone through, JUST TO FUCKING REGISTER A PHONE NUMBER!!! And STILL, the fucking digital verification system they have, DOESN'T SEND ME IT! So I had to drive the fuck down to my bank, because I didn't want to fucking go out today and deal with dumbfucks (I already dealt with dumbfucks at work, don't need more).

Had to spend, oh, 50 minutes there, WAITING FOR SHIT THAT COULD'VE BEEN DONE IN 1 MINUTE!!

Then I get the fuck home, realized "shit, I need to talk to StateFarm about my beacon" because it hasn't fucking worked for some reason. Forgot my login, but wait, shit! The fucking browsers I use - SOMEHOW FUCKING FORGOT MY LOGIN INFORMATION BECAUSE REASONS!!!

Had to fucking talk to a god damn live chat representative, go through THAT fucking obstacle course. THAT WASN'T ENOUGH! I HAVE TO FUCKING VERIFY TO LOG IN WITH MY TEMPORARY PASSWORD AFTER UPDATING IT?! YOU FUCKING CUNTS!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!!

And Chrome seems to have it where, it doesn't sync with mobile and desktop as I feel it should. The fucking Chrome browser on phone, REQUIRES you to fucking add a fucking security measure so you have to enter a fucking pin EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO FUCKING SO MUCH EDIT OR ACCESS SAVED PASSWORDS!

FUCK THIS BULLSHIT! FUCK ALL OF IT!!

I'm going to rightfully assume you're asking this out of bad faith.

I used to have moderated chat rooms and forums.

People didn't like me because I operated on a neutral, non-bias level of judgment. I also actually did shit like, banning/removing people who were problematic or fueling drama.

I guess we're still not ready for that kind of moderation yet.

If you're dealing with an LLM, which you most likely are, the AI will adapt based upon what words and scenarios you use. It can't readily know what you're aiming for and what characters you're using to treat them as individual entities in whatever the RP is. You have to do an awful lot of heavy lifting to get to the point of the AI to grasp what you want out of it.

That's just how it is.

If Techbros and Silicon Valley give two shits, they might want to say something like now.

I'm positive.

TikTok is just the thing to be into today. I've seen very old uploaded YouTube videos still be in triple digits or even double digits. Some videos would be in millions but it wasn't over night, it was over time since it was uploaded.

Sounds pretty damn similar to what the current corrupt administration does. So, before anyone dares say "No president in history has done this!" all they need to look up is Andrew Johnson.

It's a class-based metaphor that judges how successful you are when compared to an idealistic version of someone who is successful by class. The Jones's are portrayed metaphorically as this rich, up-to-date, always on top of things, always getting things first and other things. If you don't meet those kind of qualifications, then you're not keeping up with the Jones's.

I'll give you a better Gary Stu example - Superman. The guy was originally designed to be all-perfect, all-knowing, all-seeing and incredibly strong with a reinforced moral system for good. He has to always be the one saving the day, he's got the looks and that ran for a very long time. Up until the 90s did we get ballsy writers to actually kill him off temporarily, but even then he came back shortly after renewed.

Quite frankly, I don't like Superman that much for that reason. Sure he's been going through different arcs in the past 30 - 40 years that challenges his mystique but I can't care enough for him to even feel slightly in favor of him.

Batman is more of my level. Sure, he has his fair deal of plot armor, but his origin has always been that he was just a guy who has a lot of wealth and wears a bat suit while wielding lots of technology at his disposal. He can still get his ass kicked, he can still be succumbed to everything a normal human would suffer with and isn't too afraid to admit that he's human who would need help from more capably powerful heroes.

If it already is, because it had already been decided. People once again misunderstand what exactly the 1st Amendment even covers. It protects you from the government silencing your voice and expression, which is what someone like Trump has been working hard to do.

It does not and should not protect you outside from that. You do not have a case on your hands when you're banned from an online forum for using hate speech. Because that forum, is not the government. Facebook, is not the government. Reddit, is not the government. So on and so forth.

These lowlifes will turn anything into content, including everything from relationships to childbirth. That's how pathetic it'd be.

 

Normally when this is asked, people think about reviving, curing, resurrecting. This question is about who you save if you were transported to a time a little before their death, like maybe a day before or even a week before. Anything about terminal illnesses or diseases contracted don't really count here because, when those things happen, they happen and there's really nothing you could do to have prevented it.

I think I would've wanted to prevent JFK's assassination. I'd tell him "dude, do not get in that limo and drive down Elm Street" and I'd show him a newspaper clip of the day of his assassination. I'd probably be looked at a little crazily and suspected of maybe being involved in something that pertains to that day. But, it's an effort I would've gone through to do that.
