Just a regular Aussie bloke.

oh yeah, those parking lots full of unsold Cybertrucks we've been seeing forever? Convenient, almost as if this deal was thought up ahead of time

well true but that's not ChatGPTs fault or any fault of the folks who developed it. nobody ever said anyone should use their AI to obtain medical advice. Speaking of false information factories, how about those bots trawling sites like this one looking for opportunities to push a narrative? wild

not sure what's with the anti-AI narrative, you even said '(not-)AI', but this wasn't ChatGPT, this is from at least as early as 2016. im just confused why you'd even post this

dont forget the super remote 'nobody cares about that land' is all Chinese-owned cattle-station or national park so you can't actually go move there

What's with the sarcasm? I do not get the community here. I literally only asked, was Khelif in the right weight class; is weight class even the right way to group athletes? "Yes she was, and yes it is" would have been valid answers... why does asking mean I was implying anything? So far only got dumb answers like yours which avoid the question and tear me down for asking. Boxing literally has weight classes or did you not know that? I didn't suggest anyone be banned?

Ah interesting. That would come with its own set of problems for sure but does seem to stem from honest intentions, ie. trying to prevent people from abusing the system.

Another confusingly downvoted reply... Sure wish folks would speak up cuz silently downvoting what I'm hoping is just healthy discussion sure does stink of cowardly bigots with an opinion they're too scared to share

Where does what end? What do you think I was suggesting?

What's with the downvotes? Bots? Or is asking questions not allowed?

I support Khelif. I still don't know the answer to this, though: if someone has a genetic advantage - for whatever reason - which puts them in a physical class above their competitors, is that fair? If Khelif was trans like a lot of people wrongly thought, would the level of fairness in this issue be different? I really struggle to know where to draw the line and still lend all parties the appropriate respect. I wonder if the real issue was a lack of appropriate 'weight class' for Khelif

I mean, if your partner is on board with polyamory, go nuts, but I don't think that's what we're talking about. OP says 4+ years with proposal on the way, so they're committed and has signalled as much to their SO. If OP can't deal with their partner's shortcomings, the mature thing to do is end it before it becomes an issue. If they're not prepared to end it for those reasons then they need to own their choice of partner and respect boundaries. It's not always easy, but that's adulting.

I've been in toxic relationships but now am happily married with someone I communicate healthily with. I've had occasions where I've seen traits, hobbies, interests etc in other people I wish my partner had, or wish they had in common with me. To point it out would only result in them feeling pressured into doing something they don't want or aren't comfortable with, or feeling guilty about it. If you can't deal, then end it maturely. If it's already long-term, you made your choice now you own it

"make you [..] think about if this relationship is right for you". Well, exactly. You're second-guessing the relationship. If you have feelings about your coworker strong enough to bring home, you're strongly signalling that you think someone else may have more to offer than your partner. Why would you say that if you weren't totally confident you had no intention to act on it? You're basically telling your SO someone else is better than them. Intended or not, you're threatening to leave them.

I think this all the time. I've had a mate offer me a job installing 12 volt systems in caravans and 4x4s, which is highly appealing, but the salary moving from software engineering to that would be less than half. Just can't justify it unfortunately, not to mention, I've not doubt it's one of those "grass is greener" situations.

"have you considered talking to your partner about it", "make sure your partner knows that it's normal" Ummm? No offence but this reads like it's written by somebody whose experience with relationships is entirely theoretical. Looping your partner in on you having more than a passing crush on a coworker will get you dumped. Trying to "make sure they know it's normal" will get you dumped spectacularly.

How can you be sure it's empty if your computer screen doesn't support braille?

Advice from a veteran for you: Spend some time thinking about scenarios in which you might need to use your gun. Come to terms with the concept of killing someone, or multiple someones, to protect yourself, and mentally try to react how you might had it happened for real. If you think you might hesitate in the moment, then a gun may not be for you. The other guy probably won't hesitate, and if you just pointed a loaded gun at them your chances of de-escalation at that point could get very slim.

They should be given the same number of years stolen from their victims.

Ok but why didn't they make them to order? Is that not a smart move with risky cutting edge stuff like this?

it's about the art direction as well. A horror movie wants to look grungy and dark while The Expanse wants to make a point of the technology and moderninity. Fog isn't exactly a thing in space but Event Horizon and others like Alien use it pretty heavily because it's good art. If you look at actual photos from ISS and other spacecraft I would say they look closer to modern CGI and if you didn't know they were real you might say they were poor CGI because of the very stark lighting in space
