  • I don’t know, I struggle to find a single use.

    Maybe to make a quick funny thing with seven fingers to send to your friends…? But even then the downside is that these images get sort of normalised and I personally wouldn’t do it. At least not now that the novelty is way over and there are fewer funny obvious errors.

    As a person who can’t draw a circle to save my life, for RPG-characters I thought I’d find use for it, but I actually prefer doing a horrible childish two-colour-crayon-sketch at the table rather than bring in a portfolio of images made artificially. My horrible sketches will become part of the lore we kaugh about.

    I know that at work when we had out summer greetings sent out from the CEO, anything anyone talked about was how it was so clearly written with AI and it for sure didn’t inspire confidence or pride in the work place as it was meant to do. The same with some project image very clearly AI generated, which led to the whole project being less reputable in the organisation at a ground level and having fewer qualified people conscript to it willingly.

    And any project where the creator or images are generated, I’ll trust far less than ones lacking images altogether.

    I’m sorry if I couldn’t answer your question properly.

    Edit: I may have to go back to gboard - at least it could spell for me…



  • Personally, if I’m paid to work I don’t mind doing other type of jobs, as long as the job I’m hired to do takes precedence. So if I am done with my assignments and they’re still paying me for the time spent at work, I’ll work at whatever needs doing.

    Where I feel this doesn’t work in your case is doing jobs you’re not qualified to do. You’re not trained and qualified to talk to patients about their troubles, or to train nursing staff on how to apply electrodes, and probably not to bring patients to the bathroom. All things that would be your responsibility if you were to do it wrong, as those are not under the qualifications for your position.

    I would put my foot down on those, and go fetch a different/senior nurse (as fetching people IS your job) when that’s needed.

    And that is the conversation I’d have with my manager - not that I don’t want to work while they are still paying, but what types of assignments I’m expected and allowed and qualified to do, and which to refer to someone else to not put yourself and the hospital at risk for liability. And to have that in writing.







  • An issue I observe in kids is that children lack positive, physically available, male role models. Women can raise kids to be very tender and empathetic, but at some point most boys will start to model themselves after the men they see around them.

    I guess the issue then exacerbate if they as adults are surrounded by only men who don’t check each others behaviour, but I have no eyes in men-only groups.

    I would not volunteer to socialise men, as I do enough free emotional labour for the men in my life as it is. I might consider it if it was well paid and didn’t interfere with my actual job or hobbies. But honestly it sounds a bit scary, like the sort of event that would draw in angry hateful men who are looking for ways to be triggered by women speaking their mind, along with the ones open to learning, plus I abhor public speaking so it sounds like a terrible way to spend my precious time. Men need to be the ones modelling safe behaviour for boys, and men need to be the ones telling other men off when they behave like dogs and teach them how to control themselves.

    I second the person saying dance lessons. There have been plenty of men in my group that have been shy or nervous or socially awkward, but everyone who follows dances with everyone who leads (which is usually but not exclusively a male/female split).

    (Ps. Are you aware of asexuality? Might be something to look into for yourself)


  • Create shade wherever the sun shines, on the outside before the sun even hits the house. Focus especially on shading the glass and metall parts of your house. Make it angled and with some distance from the house so it still allows air flow. Mesh will shade less but allow more airflow and tarp will block pretty much all wind byt also pretty much all sun, so experiment with the tradeoff for different parts of the house like near windows or over the roof.

    Where I live that’s enough to keep me reasonably, so thats all I know. Probably need to learn more with the more extreme weather we have now.



  • I would like to know how much time you actually spend with your girlfriend, because from what I see here… yeah. You’re not being a good partner.

    She tells you she want to be more of a priority and get more time and attention from you, and your solution is to tell her she can get time with you when your actual priority (Max) is busy. That’s exactly the issue - you choose Max over her when there is a choice, and only choose her when there are no “better” opinions because Max is busy.

    Not to mention choosing TV over your girlfriend.

    Based on this, you need to think about whether you actually have time and space in your life for your girlfriend and if you are willing to prioritise being a good partner. Maybe you are happy with your life as it is and don’t actually want to change it to incorporate a romantic partner. That’s absolutely fine, but be honest about it and don’t try to have your cake and eat it too. Relationship takes time and work, no one can keep their life and routines as is and add a partner without making changes to incorporate the relationship. Do you like her enough to choose her and be her partner, not as a label but as a way of life?

    Asking ones parter to be part of their life and be more of a priority is not “drama”, saying that sounds really dismissive and that is quite often used to keep women quiet and shamed, so be mindful of how you perceive your own girlfriend. No one is immune to internalising sexism regardless of gender.

    Of course there is the possibility that you already call her an hour every day and she’s being unreasonable in you wanting ten min to talk to your friend (with the four hour chat being the only time you talked longer than that), if so disregard the above.



  • I’ve always disliked smalltalk and never felt comfortable with it, but nowadays, and I don’t know if it’s age or isolation… nowadays I quite enjoy exchanging a few pleasantries with someone as we meet in a staircase or hallway. Just some words about the weather or encouragement for climbing the stairs or sympathy about heavy looking bags - mostly on the boring side but edging on quippy, followed by polite chuckles… it makes whatever made me go outside a little better.

    It’s still slightly uncomfortable before deciding what to comment on today, and getting that neutral-positive response, but I like it nonetheless. Feels like a routine even though I do it with different people each time. Makes me feel more at home out there.


  • Fun question!

    If poison (alcohol or other) counts, I’m dead.

    If surgeries counts, I’m soon to be dead.

    If electrocution counts, I’m likely dead (I guess it depends on how grounded I am at the time, because that’s a LOT of electricity to take at once).

    Otherwise, with someone professional help nearby, I’ll live… but not if I’m alone. I would not have use of my hands to call for help and would bleed a lot, plus concussion. My blood type can recieve from several other blood groups, so as long I’m in hospital I’m okay. None of my broken bones have been near endangering organs so im not worried about them. Probably blood loss and chock is my biggest concern, and infection from a thousand cuts in the long run. I would hopefully and probably pass out to relieve myself of the pain.
