Definitely. And plenty who regret not doing it. Such is life.

100% they do mean it.

I never really wanted kids. But me and a friend had too much to drink one night and I was a dad at 22. It’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I’m 30 and have 3.

People tend to focus on what you give up and not what you gain. Parenting presents a huge amount of moments and activities and feelings that you would never get otherwise.

Both paths are good. Just different.

I wouldn’t trade the first time my daughter said I love you for anything in the world. Or even the first time she smiled. You could offer me any amount of money or holidays and I wouldn’t go back and miss that.

I have a good support network so I can still go out when I want to. I could go on holidays without them if I wanted to. I could buy them less stuff and myself more. Nothing is stopping me.

But I wouldn’t trade a moment of it.

It has totalled them as the items are sent everyday after they are introduced.

When I have thoughts like this I imagine that I am dealing with a friend who is having these thoughts.

If your friend was constantly struggling with their mental health and you were trying to help them would you call them an toxic, horrible, emotional abuser? I don’t think you would. I certainly don’t feel that way about my friends who struggle.

I also try to look at the evidence. Is there any actual evidence that people feel this way beyond your own thoughts and feelings?

Mental health is constant battle and separating real life from your condition can be an incredibly hard but rewarding exercise.

I’m sorry you’re struggling so much.

Surely 50/50 is the same as the bad outcome being more likely but the bad outcome is actually less likely.

Most likely about getting laid. Probably left over from our monkey days.

“ChatGpt is really good if you use it properly”

Gets torrents of down votes every time. But I literally use it a lot at work and it’s brilliant.

This used to happen when new subs opened. Most of my feed was just them.

My assumption was that as the sub grew the posts kept getting voted higher than any other on the sub and therefore pushed as top material relative to the subs normal amount of up votes.

This is definitely the answer. Bonus points for contextless clues to getting the other half.

Use your bed only for sleep. No screens for a few hours before bed. Milk before bed. Reading or audio books are a great way to settle your mind.

If you aren’t asleep after 30 or so minutes get up and do something chilled for a little bit. Laying there getting pissed you aren’t asleep doesn’t help.

Stick to a sleep / wake schedule. I’ve found getting up early and consistently much more effective for sorting out my sleep.

I bet you plenty of people absolutely do want this.

Most people can barely use a computer and would love this if it worked well.

You forget a huge percentage of users can barely access their emails.

Lemmy is very techcentric and most users on here are far from the average consumer on technical literacy.

You just aren’t the target audience.

This one is relatively as well.

It’s amazingly good at moderating user content to flag for moderator review. Existing text analysis completely falls down beyond keyword filtering tbh.

It’s really good at sentiment analysis. Which is great for things like user reviews. The Amazon ai notes on products are actually brilliant at summarizing the pros and cons of a product. I work for a holiday let company and we experimented with using it to find customers we need to follow up with and the results were amazing.

It smashes other automated translating services as well.

I use it a lot as a programmer to very quickly learn new topics. Also as an interactive docs that you can ask follow up questions to. I can pick up a new language as I go much faster than with traditional resources.

It’s honestly a complete game changer.

I’m guessing they have limited resources for direct intervention so use this to flag up people who have the most risk factors.

It doesn’t sound like this is people asking for help but more trying to predict who might need it.

after an investigation by The Fuller Project and The Markup found the department’s algorithm prioritized White, male veterans. It also gave preference to veterans who are “divorced and male” and “widowed and male” but not to any group of female veterans.

It shouldn’t favour anyone. It should treat each person as an individual and figure out what they need based on their characteristics. If it’s been designed to only work well for white men it’s been designed poorly.

As a type 1 diabetic with multiple attachments already this sounds great.

I’m sure it was very common. But that’s whataboutism and it’s definitely worth noting.
