My previous account was @[email protected] I left it because Rowling has turned out to be a pretty shitty person and I don’t want the association.
Mostly I’m just here for idle friendly conversation over shared interests.
I can get caught up in my own stubbornness on some topics.

SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•ChatGPT is pushing people towards mania, psychosis and death8·13 天前I was a physiotherapist and the AI recommendations for physical/mechanical health feel like someone grabbed a diagnosis from a lucky dip of options. It sounds very professional but doesn’t specifically diagnose issues for the client.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Top reason trans people 'detransition' is transphobia, survey finds2·1 个月前I used to be friends with a bi guy who’d cross dress from time to time. He stopped after he got beat up for it.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Has anyone pirated their internet?English3·1 个月前Yeah. Twenty years ago. I worked for two ISPs over the years. At both of them the test accounts for support to use were unmonitored accounts due to how many places they were used and logged in by. In both cases I simply put those login details into my home setup and got free internet for probably about three years. Before that some friends got a un/pw file from a university and decrypted a few hundred names and passwords for accounts which gave free dialup access to students. Again multiple logins seemed allowed so the only person losing was the uni/isp. Used to be able to pull about ~14gb a month through a dialup connection. Probably via napster, kazaa and soulseek, I can’t remember if torrents were a thing back then.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it weird I sleep with an old blanket I've had since I was a young girl?3·1 个月前I’m in my 40s and daily a spoon I was given around my birth.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.5·1 个月前That’s the key point I reckon “if coding is your thing” many people are trying to learn a complex thing they have no interest in.
Where do you place “be kind to each other” on the propaganda scale?
Nah dude. You gotta respect your girlfriends wishes on this. Maybe consider getting a place when she’s 18 so she can get away? Will she be moving for university?
If her plan is to keep living with her family and never revealing you, there’s no outcome to that path. But if she is looking to move or study or whatever, you might see a future for the relationship.
Talk to her about the future and where this is going.
If you go back on your son receiving this gift, it’ll be a dick of a dad move. Like some people have mentioned your best bet is probably to have a discussion about wealth and ethics with your son as well as letting him know your concerns. Like some people say, it’s a lot of money for YOU, for these people it’s not.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level?4·2 个月前You gotta shoot your shot and then be prepared to walk away if they’re not interested. It’s as simple as that. I’ve ended a few friendships with women I’ve developed a crush on as once I had a crush, they weren’t really friendships anymore.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?14·2 个月前You shouldn’t cut him off on behalf of your mother. Maybe I’m projecting here because I’ve got a shitty dad, but I reckon your dad’ll give you a reason of your own to cut him off soon enough. He’s starting a new family with the affair partner and doesn’t have time for you? The new affair partner doesn’t like that you call her the “cheating slag” on your weekends with dad. Really there are plenty of reasons likely to pop up, no need to use your mothers excuse.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Neighbour is deliberately harassing my family by blasting the radio on subwoofers in every room from 7:30 AM till 11:30 AM every day. Can anything be done about this? Me and my family are at wit's end2413·2 个月前Start going out in the garden at night and making wolf noises. This sounds like an untreated mental health issue. If no one (council, cops, ambulance) is going to respond to the current levels, try to increase them. Consider calling in a welfare check rather than a noise complaint.
