Haha there was a time when Wells Fargo let you out custom images on your card and one format was a square in the corner that you can put your picture in. I uploaded a similar MS Paint smiley and they accepted it haha.

I would feel awful and try to fix whatever had caused/is causing that without burdening my child with any of the process.

Wonder how long she stays free and how long she stays handcuffed

So many tiny Lemmy communities out there. Any engagement is useful engagement. I think useful is an interesting metric to use though. It should be, “Am I different?” and “Am I open to being wrong?” We don’t need more of the same people posting the same buzzwords and opinions jerking each other off with no critical thinking. Lemmy/the world needs constructive conversation.

Get a solar panel to charge it

There will be new applications of AI or something entirely different. There will always be another tech boom. AI may or may not be part of it, but it’s not going away. It’s more than LLM’s.

I’ll check out cafe. Thanks!

I understand this as the paradox of tolerance, but what I’m saying is neutral in bias. From responses it seems people on Lemmy understand that they’re biased.

Thanks! That’s useful for validating instances in the future.

It’s so bizarre. I wonder if they know that they’re pretty much the same people as MAGA.

That’s good to know. Best to be self-aware. I don’t mind the left-leaning either, but definitely not a space to have any productive conversation challenging left beliefs and opinions.

Thanks for the info. Even after a year or so on Lemmy I’m still figuring things out.

That’s a good idea

Hm. I’ll have to play with it a bit and see.

i don’t get news from here either. i just don’t want to be blind to what’s going on. i’ve already blocked ml, but i’m glad i know it and its users exist and what they’re like. i wouldn’t spend my weekends in conservative spaces, but i’m not opposed to having conversations with or being around conservative people. good to have perspective for why people are the way they are instead of just the headlines read and then grouping people into buckets.

for the record, you can be trans and gay and also be homophobic or say homophobic things. it should not be used as a shield.

ah, then you should understand the frustration of your words and intent being twisted to fit somebody else’s agenda and then a community reprimanding you. or you don’t, that’s okay too. empathy is not for everyone.

I just need to know what’s going on with people. the good and the bad, so I can gauge what’s going on with the world.

this you?

i get it, but I also don’t want to create an echo chamber for myself and be blind to parts of the world.
