Some people have a very confusing way of communicating things…
And you need to painfully pull out of them every bit of information.

Colleague:

```
ITEM_ID <- only this will work
1200
1201
1300
1301
1400
1401
```

Me:

What does this list mean?
(I want to know if this is supposed to be a white list, but that doesn‘t make sense business wise)

Colleague:

*explains what the ITEM_ID means*

Me:

(Yeah I know what it means)
Are those ids in the list examples or the only possible values?

Colleague:

Yes, examples. But there are restrictions. Not all will work.

Me:

(Ok this is confusing again)
What are the restrictions?

Colleague:

*Explains the restrictions.*
(Those have nothing to do with the list)

my god, same genes!

if AI can beat you at being human, you know you've done did fuck up.

@retoor I imagine it trains on people's convos, despite the bs their creators probably say (I have no idea, didn't read their eula). if you really think about it, pretending that you care about someone when the only conversation medium you have is text is trivial, because textual displays of kindness are all standardized. same keywords, same shit

anyone can write ai that simulates a basic normie chat mate

either myself or my wife (or almost any of my friends) will break an ai like that immediately — you have to be someone special to even hang out with us. you can even be dumb or depressed or apathetic, just be someone with a stance and a mindset, someone with real emotions, not a generic excuse for a human being that will probably betray anyone given the slightest incentive

one can disagree with me all they want, yet I'll know a PERSON when I see one

@retoor you are a person. A weird one tho :D

@retoor don't worry about it. The more I know someone, the more tolerant I am to their imperfections, because they inevitably get more tolerant to mine (otherwise we wouldn't have been hanging out with each other at all). I can't tell if it will “click” with you or not — I have to talk to you in person to know that — but if it won't, rest assured I'll tell you. So if we see each other, and we decide that we can be friends, it means I sniffed you and decided to accept you

@retoor after that, you have to try VERY hard to mess up so bad that I decide to cut ties with you :D

@retoor awww thanks

so I had a terrible experience with a bipolar friend of a friend, but my bipolar wasn't even thought about back then — I never saw a psychologist, let alone a psychiatrist. I took no meds whatsoever and was very fragile. We _immediately_ were like oil and water.

Now though, I have a very good bipolar friend, and I mean very good. We were good even before I figured out my treatment.

My treatment scheme of five different meds is rock solid — I'm as productive as a "healthy" person since at least May 2023. We're talking working, building my own projects in my spare time, and having time for hobbies.

I have issues, and a LOT of them, but they're PTSD-related, not bipolar. They can be put into words, they never change and they're very specific. You can't sync me :D

your co worker communicates like my boyfriend

we've been together 4 years and I still can't understand what he's saying or why he's saying it that way. it's driving me crazy
