I’m stuck in DDD land too. It totally sucks, and you have my sympathy

Most of the time. There’s rare exceptions. It’s the old “if your only tool is a hammer” thing.

Sadly, part of those are just not wanting to take on a high risk patient at all.

But there are surgeons that will give advice based on the actual patient needs and recommend other treatments, and outright refuse to do a surgery.

But, yeah, surgeons in general assume that a patient coming to them needs surgery. That’s partly because they don’t tend to get patients walking in the front door independently. They’re going to be seeing patients referred to them by someone else that thinks surgical intervention is a possible best choice.

They’re also trained to think like surgeons. Once they’re into training as a surgeon, they learn the human body, and thus the application of medical science, as something that gets operated on. Every problem becomes one to address in that way because they’ve spent years shaping their minds to be very good at that.

It’s really no different in that regard than an it guy thinking of a computer problem in terms of their specialty, or a mechanic wanting to rebuild something that might be fine with a spray of wd40 and some duct tape.

Hell, surgeons regularly have to deal with patients insisting on a surgery when other modalities are more appropriate. It’s a thing they gripe about

Can confirm, their mom carried me to school often, and only required infrequent lubrication. Wasn’t great up hills though

I don’t think they approach necessity tbh. At best, they’re a bandaid, and a crutch for parents.

But the drawbacks of the laws that have been implemented so far, and are trying to be, as vast overreaches that give a false sense of security with no real benefit. They also do that by placing even more information into the hands of the very companies causing the problem in the first place.

That’s where regulations would focus in an ideal world, limiting the companies from causing the problems in the first place, not slapping bad patches over them.

Yeah, and that’s how you get shitty age verification laws.

It’s a double edged sword

Yeah, and 6.9 is something nice broken up by a period

It’s the astroturfing that’s objectionable.

Just for the hell of it, I don’t know about OP, but I don’t even know how to.

I went to the relevant linked section and couldn’t find a way to raise an issue directly. I’m going to try again, and if I succeed I’ll return here and make a top level comment for anyone scrolling by and wondering. I’ve never tried to do this before, so I’ll see how it goes.

Edit: aha!

You have to go to the issues page and select the “new issue” button, where you’ll be directed to log in to github.

Which, for me, means I’m finished trying. No desire whatsoever to have another login for a one time thing. If I ever manage to learn enough code to do anything like this often enough, I’d do it, but it just isn’t worth it to satisfy my curiosity about the process.

Well, it started Here

Then it expanded Like a contagion

Until Random, unconnected individuals started spreading it

But, Lemmy got it in a different way so the spread isn’t as severe.

Go into the light charade-anne

Then they didn’t schedule a day to go, they just decided to roll up.

I dunno, it isn’t universally beneficial.

Votes, particularly down, can have a cooling effect on assholery.

Voting is faster, and people are lazy. So there’s a tendency for people to just vote and scroll on. Remove down votes, and you get more snark if mods don’t intervene.

It’s kinda hit or miss though

Chicken tacos at that.

So it goes

I wrote it, and it fucks with my head lol

What ephera@lemmy.ml said, 100%

I’m still an Android user, and likely will be for while, but the amount of junk Google has built into it all designed to make their ad sales what they are is just absurd. If I had total freedom of hardware, I’d degooogle as much as android allows on non Google hardware and wait for a fully daily driver ready linux phone, but I don’t currently, so I’m kinda stuck.

Besides, options are always a good thing. There’s not really a downside to more OS options for people with the ability and willingness to change OS in the first place.

Dammit, if that’s not gay, it should be! Because it’s fucking fabulous!

I know, I know, we’re supposed to say it’s fake, and it could be. But folks, never, ever underestimate the power of passion and joy. It won’t overcome everything, every time, but I’ll be fucked if it doesn’t help overcome yourself often enough that it’s worth seeking.

At 21 you can drink, drive (though not at the same time), vote and be drafted (if you’re a guy). If that’s too young to be married, we need to work on that other stuff first.

Seriously, it isn’t even an unusual age for it, much less “ew”

Its the same bullshit that’s been going on for ages.

Young actress grows up, people think they have an obligation to look and act how their idea of the now adult actress is rather than them being themselves.

It happens to pretty much all young performers, but girls get it worse because sexism and patriarchy amplify it.

She’s damn near 21 now. She’s married and moving into an adult life and some people are idiots. They expect her to either stay that little girl, or at least not act adult in public.

Word :)

I’m going to pretend you aren’t being an asshole for your own reasons, and explain why this kind of comment is a good thing.

What you’re missing is that shared cultural touchstones connect people. Comments like this aren’t robotic responses to preset conditions.

They’re humans reaching out to each other through screens to connect, even if it’s only some tiny and essentially frivolous thing. That’s a good thing. It’s the entire point of being human, to connect and share and hopefully help each other get through the ugliness that life brings.

Where you see predictability and rote habits, the rest of us see a shared experience. The other people in the thread popping off the lyrics or making related jokes, we’re all engaged in letting each other know that we aren’t alone, that there’s parts of each of our individual lived experience that can be directly related. It means we have the ability to stop seeing just words on a screen, and for just that moment see someone we’ve never met and likely never will, as part of our in group.

Friends in real life do this kind of thing. There’s phrases, and songs, and poems and book quotes, and movie lines that can be shorthand for shared experiences. It brings joy with it. Have you never seen a group of people say something that’s seemingly random and dissolve into laughter?

That’s what this kind of thing is. It’s strangers partaking in one of the benefits of friendship. Making each other smile or laugh a little.

If llms acted like this, they’d be one step closer to being actual artificial intelligence because it would make them part of that circle.

My homie across the screen. You stepped into that circle and tried to poop in it. Did that bring you joy? Did you smile? If it did, then great, you’re one of the lucky ones that can find happiness in attempting to piss on someone’s picnic. If it didn’t, then what are you doing?
