  • If one starts with very low or no tolerance then even minimal amounts can be a bit much. A higher tolerance can make that more comfortable. At these low doses, a small variation can impact the experience overall and some people will like it with a slightly higher dose which they need to build a tolerance to smooth out the harsher effects of.

    Not sure if that’s what they meant but in this way the word can be correctly used.





  • Yes let’s set strict global rules on pricing of goods and a living standard of wage as well as rent capped at 10-20% income based(not real estate). Then companies can be taxed to provide health insurance and housing for everyone. Finally we can ensure 97+% employment by setting full time to 20hr a week with 3mo vacation mandatory minimum. I suppose in that world Capitalism sounds A-OK to me.

    Simple small changes no biggie

    My first statement was sarcasm. If you learned to write in university you would learn to write in an academic style. Since most people write more in university than the rest of their career there’s simply more writing with that style available. Since that’s all available through journals or more insidious sources it’s likely training fodder for AIs. Therefore someone’s writing being misinterpreted for AI likely just means they’ve used some academic style. I only commented on it because you brought it up in your first comment. I believe I’m in agreement with your original sentiment that it’s a silly notion(?)

    The “E:” means “edit” since I edited my post to change the wording from worse language to something i felt was more appropriate.

    The “needs more Queen” refers how OP uses the members of the band as examples to make their point. I’m intending to contrast that with your write-up which does not share a similar pop-culture example approach but hinges instead on your personal experience. You said your comment could be a good start to the essay requested in the replies in the image. That is what i was meaning to respond to with this critique. I believe the replies in the image wanted more pop-culture based references.

    None of it’s a purity test and the last part is just my opinion.

    Shocking that someone with a major that requires lots of writing would have similarities with model that simply copies the writing style with the largest sample size.

    Your essay needs more Queen. “…most data oriented nerds are at least mildly autistic” might be a bit of a strong statement but they’re at the very least more socially aligned than the rest of the populace.

    E: inclusivity


  • I’ve worked with hundreds of homeless people, usually trying to help them before the cops sweep their camp, or keeping their car rolling so they can keep living in it.

    There was a ubiquitous set of conditions:

    • can’t afford housing even though they had a job.
    • lost identifying documents, usually in a sweep, and working on replacing them. You can’t get work without these.
    • no reliable postal address
    • no support network

    I’ve never met anyone who wanted to be living on the street.

    I’m not talking about crust punks train hopping. I’m talking about the people who missed a day of work for whatever reason and couldn’t make rent one month. Now they’re in a tent near available services because the shelter kicked them out after the max stay of a week.

    Being a therapist gives you no expertise here and it seems to me that a therapist who sees punishment as a viable means for behavioral change is kind of shit at their job.
