My ex-wife used tarot cards to justify cheating on me, and then leaving me.
I didn’t even know she had tarot cards.
It is amazing what excuses cheaters will use to justify their behavior.
In my case, my ex did the nature documentary argument way before the manosphere became a thing. I dunno why that is a pattern with that sort of man. They like to think of themselves as superior intellectuals until it comes to sex, then they will make graphs and studies and be pseudo David Attenboroughs to justify that their caveman urges are too strong for them to overcome.
I guess the female version of that is tarot cards, coffee grounds and zodiacs? I hope you found a better lady later, because that one surely wasn’t worth keeping in your life!
Well, it’s probably true. Their urges are too strong for them to overcome. But that’s what an adult should be able to do, overcome the fucking urges
This is about as psychotic as governments using AI to predict crimes.
Not necessarily. I think that predicting crime using public information can be beneficial. It just shouldn’t be invasive or biased, and shouldn’t be used in court to justify a warrant or arrest.
I agree with you, but:
invasive, biased, used in courts
All those things that will soon happen whether we like it or not.
Let’s not kid ourselves. Publicly available information is invasive and a violation of privacy.
We have corporations who have effectively set up mass surveillance networks and they call it “adtech”.
There is an entire economy surrounding “publicly available information”. There are corporations that act as as data brokers and people search websites that compile way too much sensitive information about private individuals. Newspapers systematically report on events that aren’t really of public interest concerning private individuals; e.g. arrest records and these articles hang around forever even if the arrest doesn’t result in a conviction or the crime is expunged.
If this was employed by the government or law enforcement, it would absolutely include data that extends far beyond the reaches of publicly available information — and it’s worth pointing out that the US has a mass surveillance network in the form of the NSA/PRISM.
There is zero way you could convince me that AI, prone to hallucination, would be well served to predict crime or criminals. Even if it didn’t hallucinate, it still wouldn’t be possible to predict crime - only potentially anticipate a crime. We aren’t 2D characters following a script — anything can happen.
Law enforcement is already very unhinged. Let’s not cheerlead the addition of any tools that aid in psychosis to their arsenal.
You are aware that “it shouldn’t be invasive or biased” automatically removes every AI, right?
I’m speaking about the concept not the currently available AI.
It seems that the woman has a penchant for believing mystical guidance. “A few years ago, she visited an astrologer and it took a whole year for her to accept that none of it was real,” the husband said.
That should’ve been the first clue. I can date someone who engages in fantasy for a bit, but if they never come back to reality then just put the relationship down humanely.
The guy didn’t lose anything. He will found someone better.
The guy didn’t lose anything. He will fund someone better.
Not sure if typo, or cynicism.
Yep I am sure he will fund someone on onlyfans to fill the gap.
Sure, it can’t count how many Rs are in strawberry, but it definitely for sure can predict future affairs in bean stew ingredients. /s
can predict future affairs in bean stew ingredients.
Ain’t nothing more refreshing than adding some coffee grounds to your bean stew
This why I stay away from astrology girls.
Well it technically did, only due to the fact he had an absolute idiot wife.
Honey, how about a nice hot cup of Minority Report?
Tf
In that case I predict the man doged a bullet here of a lifetime with a moron.
Theyre not in the clear yet. This type of crazy doesn’t exit your life just the once.
Heck, you’re lucky if you catch them entering back in before they’ve made another exit.
Good for him.
good for him
Absolutely, either this story is made up, or that woman is insane.
…
I mean, have you never met religious people before??!!
“If you ever masturbate, my imaginary friend will set you on fire forever!”
You can just say “Christian”, you know.
Not unique to Christians.
Lot of imaginary sadists out there.
Such as?
No need to be insane, a lot of people fell for the whole Goop “natural healing” bullshit
Bad for the kids…
“I laughed it off as nonsense,” he said. “But she didn’t. She told me to leave, informed our kids about the divorce, and the next thing I knew, I was getting a call from her lawyer.”
Seems like an easy custody battle but hey you never know
Easy for a man to get custody of the kids? What world do you live in?
My friend’s ex repeatedly crashed her car while drunk with their daughter in the car and he had to fight a pretty much non-stop court battle for over a decade to maintain his 50%.
that why I said you never know
basically the same for me and my sisters with our parents. Dad in the army and mom is robbing walmarts to pay for crack. Hmm, mom gets summer custody it is!
when my crazy ex left me, in retrospect, she made me a favor
Someone makes a cake, or a house. They DO you a favor.
Here’s a litmus test to use when deciding to correct someone’s English online: did you understand what they meant?
Yes? Leave them alone.
No? Ask for clarification, then leave them alone.
A lot of non-native English speakers use online communication to practice and most want to be corrected so they can improve.
A lot of native English speakers make mistakes accidentally, or speak with a dialect and some of them get really angry when people try to correct them.
It’s sometimes tricky to know which is which. The best solution is for everyone to just be kind to each other but…
This is the internet. There’s no room for kindness here!
/s, but a lot of people do think that way
Not everyone gets offended when they are corrected. When someone corrects my Spanish I presume they are trying to help me rather than put me down.
Assume. Presume implies you have some reason or evidence for that belief.
Edit: I find it hilarious how many people are downvoting me for correcting somebody who has just said they appreciate corrections.
I do have a reason for that belief. When I correct someone’s English it is for the same reason.
Thanks though
If “having a reason” is ok to use it, then good people existing is a pretty good reason, thus you failed at correcting them.
I think correction is fine, as another comment said it’s a good way to get feedback and learn.
The problem with this comment for me was the condescension and the rudeness.
I didn’t read it that way. It’s just blunt, which is a bit rough to some people, but what do you see as condescending? asking because i could almost have made this comment, but probably would not have
(I am not a good communicator so i really want to understand why you feel it was that way)
Many babies turtle love! Me? Seaworld, see world.
Asparagus!
Checked out name.
Why use lot word when few word do trick
Why use big words when a diminutive one will do?
Style, fun, and precision.
Why create an aversion to communicating? That feels gross to assume people won’t understand just because a word has a lot of letters
There are plenty of people, myself included, who prefer to be corrected, because otherwise how will we learn? If nobody corrects us, we’ll keep making the same stupid mistakes.
If someone doesn’t want to be corrected, they are free to ignore it and to continue doing it wrong.
So you responding to my message to complain about the content, what’s the test for that? You just follow your gut? Or do you have some annoying advice you’d like to give me on when to best give annoying advice?
she made her bags
I’ve packed you a cake
You baked me a favor! 😊
bake him away, toys!
Bean a why ale
Well…maybe she made him a party favor? Tied him to the bed, and put a blinding hood on him, then injected liquid viagra into his veins every 4 hours, and invited the whole neighborhood over to pass him around. With him never even knowing who he had sex with, and who fucked him in the ass…
See? She made him a favor!
What? It’s already been established that the ex IS crazy. Loraina Bobbitt did far worse, and she wasn’t even crazy…kinda justified actually.
Aren’t you a funny one eh?
If you find it funny to help people understand how a language works?
I wonder if modern stupid is funnier than ancient stupid
Some things never change.
Chatgpt is awful for people who have delusions.
That’s a great question!
For people who don’t have delusions yet, it can give them one or three
Hallucination feedback loop
Halulu delulu looloopoo
Chatgpt is awful
for people who have delusions.
I mean at this point, shame on him for marrying someone like that to begin with
The person you love can slowly deteriorate before your eyes.
Living through it myself. Thank fuck for divorce
Me too.
I feel like she hasn’t reached her final form just yet.
