but you dont know what a senior has been through in their life. Alsoo old age makes it more likely that somekne has a neurological disorder like Alzheimer’s or schizophrnia and such illnesses practically guarantee that someone will act in unusual ways and say unusual things. Sometimes hurtful things.

The least you can do is give leeway to seniors who have become older and wiser with age and have learned the Golden Lesson of ‘Always treat others as they or you want to be treated’

Im not even joking I simply said to my doctor that Im feeling ‘self deletable’ and I was given an appointment with a osychologist within the same week. Completely free. I was shocked at the expediency. I still talk to that psychologist about once a few months, not because she has a full schedule but because Im busy doing things. I could make numerous appointments with her per a month, like once a week, I have just chosen not to.

Im speaking from a point of privelege once again cause ease of acfess to mental health care clearly isnt available for everyone.

But this was about 7 or so years ago so I dont think much has changed.

But you said that these people dont need mental health care and now Im curous as to why you think that? I was stuck ina cycle of thinking when I was at had my most ‘self-deleting’ desires but the words of my psychologist broke the cycle to make me think in different ways about my self-deleting thoughts . I realised that my self-deletiony was a strange defense mechanism I created for myself and I was just relying on it cyclically to accept that Ill never have to do anything and if Im ever asked to do something that I must? Ill just delete myself… (yes , it was a very strange defence mechanism . But it was what it was)

I feel that a lot of these people I speak of , older , biased to the point of self-destruction, selfish , and even generally sef-destructive, need that one or two intervention that breaks this cycle that theure stuck in. And in my opinion that people created this psychological cycle as a reaction to the cruel capitalistic world and people who have harmed them. basically I now see their cruelty was simply a DEFENSE MECHANISM they created as a reaction to the cruelty theyve experienced and now theyre stuck on this cycle of a defense mechanism cause they dont see any other method to use. I canexucse a younger person who thinks like this since most young people are impressionable and inexperienced. But for an older person? …No… You dont think the same of them?

ya youre right I should probably remove that.

I only used negative IQ because I remember seeing it from a meme and it stuck with me cause it was kind of funny lol

I do think the number is almost meaningless cause it only measures your comprehension of what the IQ test asks of you and not your comprehension of more complex things like different human connections and different things the human body can do when it comes to things like dancing , or reaction time or calisthenics for examples.

I remmember I used to have a racist coworker and I tried to be kind to him and help him understand that he cant keep saying and doing such things to his fellow coworkers cause they werent ‘White Enough©®™’ for his liking. …Was it worth it?..No…Cause he got worse… Somehow

I got fired anyways so I have no idea how he is nowadays. Maybe he’s turned around…hopefully…

Something that sticks with me are those people who reach middle age, like deep into their 40s or or even into their senior years, and theyre still cluelessly lost as to how to just be empathetic or to not call me or others racial or derogatory slurs. Ive been called slurs by far more people who Ive observed were probably older than 40 than I have been by people who were in their 20s or even their teens.

I can excuse a youngin who behaves in almost any way because we were all young and easily impressionable, right? Even I was once a young knucklehead .

But I feel that there is a certain age where your own tenacity should take over and you should be the one who makes the call on how you will behave and will react to different situatiins - and it should always be the more empathetic call . If youre past like 40 amd youre still out here calling people slurs or ghosting people when you have accepted to be their friend or ghosting people who you have agreed to date? then I dont know what to say to ’ you other than I think you need a psychologist. Not nly for your safety but for also the rest of mankind’s safety’ . I feel there’s a lot of people who need mental health assistance so they can break that cycle of conditioning themselves to be so cold and to break the cycle of trauma theyve experienced and not dole out their pain to others is all Im saying.

Well, rather than wondering about how they have lived this long and still haven’t learned, that can be flipped the other way around too: they’ve acted this way for 60 years already. The patterns of that behaviour are quite deeply engraved at that point and even more difficult to get rid of. Older people are called stubborn for a reason and there are sayings about that too such as “an old dog doesn’t learn new tricks.” However, as I said, it’s not to excuse that behaviour but rather just approach it from a different angle. When a person behaves that way asserting blame as if they could have acted otherwise is unproductive. The focus should in my opinion be in understanding that this behaviour is usually a symptom of some deeper issues. These people are in pain whether they know it or not.

Ah yes! Good ooint. It could just be that theyre conditioned to act or react in those ways to certain , or sometimes even all, stressors in their life . Like their oast trauma has been so thorough and long that theyve become conditioned in this way usually through no fault of their own. I dont think we should excuse toxic behaviours though I was watching this one Dave’s Lemonade episode about a man who did something absoutely heinous but after hewas caught and convicted there was a ‘secondary trial’ for him that assessed whst in his life led to him becoming the type of man that he was…and…yup! His childhood and even his adulthood too surprisingly clearly explained how he became the way he became. Ill try to find thr video… Edit : Here it is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Otz6Ydf9Avk

But again: stressed out, underslept, overworked and then tipped over by a minor inconvenience. The reasons behind this kind of behaviour are usually rather mundane

Good point. Well I guess I am speaking from a point of privelege here again cause usually when I feel this way I can take a moment , or even many moments, to just cool off , understand what is making me mad, understand ehat happened to me, and try to find ways to overcome it. Others may not have this luxury…

well youre not wrong . I am DEFINITELY not a paragon of empathy . And yes I do have my biases, but almost all humans have some biases right?

But as for my ‘abuse of others’ ?.. Wot? I swear Id never. I never want to hurt innocent people and further ‘enshittify’ the world that is already shitty.

I will admit thst the lack of mental health care provided by those in power most places makes me start to understand why this is such a recurring phenomena in many places .

Though I live i canada which pretty much has free mental health care and ONCE AGAIN most of the people Ive talked to here have either ghosted me for no reason which theyve stated, ignored me , or said mean words or done mean actions to me. This is the same regardless of the age of the person Ive talked to . I would assume that a person who was 40+ would have wised up as to how this is not a way to behave to other people who you have been talking to fr the last couple of weeks , months …and yet…

isnt that when a person becomes a senior citizen?

To me 40 is old cause thats when your athleticism and your recovery time start to slow down.

I guess I can agree with you. My view from all the pain and Ive experienced from others’ mean acrions or words or their unusual ostracization of me was “They can be mean to me all they want. The world sucks enough already. Why would I want to make it suck even more?”. But maybe Im just speaking from my narrow perspective . All because I was able to turn around the hate I received around into a little bit of love and self-love maybe I was more priveleged than others to a point where I had the capability to turn my hate around because I receivced more guidance on how to do that from my therapist and teachers than others did.

Though I still have a hard time accepting that most fully grown adults who choose to do or spew hurtful things have NO agency in what they choose to do. Certainly there has to come an age where you just ‘wake up’ and realize that ‘Hurt people may hurt people …Therefore why the hell would I deliberately hurt more people?’. Right?

the problem is that the majority of redditor moderators and admins act in ways that are very arbitrary when it comes to their banning of certain comments ,posts or ideologies . So if the humans doijng the job do the job in borderline nonsensical ways…how would the AI fair in such things?

The reasom why AI works well in a coffee maker is because its very straight forward to make different caffeinated beverages in straightforward ways. Just follow the recipe as long as you have the ingredients and equipment. Simple.

But when it comes to humans communicsting ideas? There has never been a perfect recipe for any of it and there probably wont be ever. Sometimes a person is literally a natsee but the way they communicate it is through half-way phrases and dogwhistles and its harder to sniff out if this oerson is being malicious or not and sometimes a person is communicating a great idea

Let me give you an example of something that I think demonstrates the nonsensicalness of reddit ai modding due to its lack of complex understanding. I was on this one subreddit and we were talking about a crime that broke headline news and some natsees started brigading the post and saying absolutely awful things. I reported and replied to many of the natsee comments. But suddently I got banned from thate subreddit forever and I looked for the reason why… I was banned because my reply to a nat see had the word ‘Black’ in it. …I simply replied to the natsee that ‘I am a Black man’ and Im guessing the AI saw me commenting ‘Black’ and automatically thought I was making a derogatory comment…

there are only three things I love in this world eating my family and never using punctuations… (and eating userbases)

I have a serious question can I see like the evidence which you were able to gather from the use of this script? Its ok of you dont want to share cause I dont even know what a script is to be honest lol. Because I always try to archive something that these natsees do and this would just be another peice of evidence for me.

literally the correct take. EVERY single major website , YES INCLUDING THIS ONE , is very much run or funded by right-wingers.

I can actually EASILY prove this. Suppose that I were to suggest that one of the current left-wing groups in existence right now were ’ supposedly correct’ for using tactics that are ‘supposedly not the most peaceful of tactics’ because the members of these groups tend to be the victims of initial, needless, malicious ‘not peaceful tactics’ from right wingers and/or capitalists - so therefore two wrongs make a right…supposedly of course.

How fast do you think I would be banned from twitter, lemmy, youtube, reddit, instagram, fascbook, or any of these other major websites where human to human interaction is common?

the problem with chatgpt is that it cant answer your complex questions.

Like suppose you have a question related to your cureent relationship with your friend or your lover or an acquaintance of yours or to one of their acquaintances and you and that person are ’ stuck ’ in an awkward situation or misunderstanding that is a one in a trillion situation and has probably only ever happened to you two or to another duo of people in history…what kind of answer could chatgpt give you that would be more specific than a human who can read the situation, compare it to their own past awkward situation and then give you a specific answer as to how they handled a similar scenario ? And lets just say its a situation that you should talk over or resolve between you and that person VERY soon.

I will admit Ive only used chatgpt once so I have no idea how it handles complex scenarios involving actual emotional and sentient humans with each of our own lives, traumas, journeys, destinations, routines, and every other thing that usually comes with being a human.

Am I right or wrong about this? Has chatgpt been able to do such complex analysis and complex suggestions to such situations?

are there ELI5 videos for all this stuff that you said about curating and admins cause Im super new too and am curious about all this. Please suggest something if you can.

Ill just reply to your originial comment with any questions I have if that works for you.

Ya with bodyweight deadlifts and muscles ups you need to swing over the bar to do the move with correct form. Thanks for this. Ill try to read and understand all this but Im admittedly a caveman when it comes to reading comprehension so you may have to ELI5 some of this if you have the time.

I plan on maxing out at 165 pounds or 75 kg and Im willing to expend maximum of 2 metres long by 1.5 metres wide by 2.75 metres tall of space to accomodate the pull up station.

Though I do wonder if a pull up bar can handle me rocking on it cause I plan on doing what will practically be gymnastics on it lol (Like the Gymnast Swing, Back Lever, Front Lever , German Hang , Hanging Off The BAr With My Feet Only …yea ) , Like will I dislodge the bar cause Ill be rocking so much? Willthe pull up bar leave any marks on the paint or drywall they have here in the apartment? Ill have to pay for each peice of damage

oh no I wish I could screw in the bar in but they regularly inspect our apartment, like every 2 or 3 months . And ANY damage , even our broken oven elements , even rain damage from when they forgot to clear out the window drains , is added to the rent. They dont care anymore its a cash grab at this point. Ironically its actually one of the cheapest apartments in the entire city . Possibly cause of how awful the maintenance is and its located in a neighbourhood with a notable number of ‘mafia members who conduct black market trades’ (if you know what I mean?). Im only surprised they didnt charge us for the mildew and leaking mildew ceiling that was already here when we came .(They probably will in the future , give them a minute)

Im just happy to have a place to live so I take what I can at this point… Being homeless in a toronto winter was…

Also Id never heard of free standing pull up bars before. Will give them a try. I just googled them and that is exactly what I pictured in my mind of making. I didnt mind if I had to DIY it. Thanks.

Also I would join the gym but the cheapest gyms in the city Im pretty sure are the municipality gyms that are provided for a yearly feee by the city of toronto. But the odd thing about these gyms is that some of them have some equipment while others dont (some have pull up stations and leg curl machines , others dont . Who wants weak hamstrings?!?) . Ive got all the leg gains I can want cause I do Glute-Ham Raises using a bed or couch held down with dumbbells. And by practising Pistol Squats(cant do them yet but Im getting there) I plan on buying a 50 or even 100 pound dumbbell to Dumbell Hamstring Curls eventually.
