Filtering swear words is a dark path the masses are willfully following. It's a subtle way to see if they can use AI to force us to change how we speak to align with a worldview. People need to fucking resist it.

[–] Schorsch@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Interesting take. Care to elaborate what role AI plays in this context? Recognizing swear words in image files, I guess?

Also I'm willfully using more swear words on Lemmy if it means they won't farm my comments for training their fucking piss shit AI without my goddamn consent. Horsefuckers!

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's using AI to filter or reduce interactions with words puritans and Chinese censors find "offensive" but to the other responses point, it goes deeper. They train the AI not to cuss, not to be able to discuss sex at all, and to avoid topics that the developers' companies or countries don't like. But we're never shown what they push for or are guarded from by the companies releasing them, so the shift is subtle.

Don't fucking say that word please

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Cussing is a goddamn dirty habit and you should cut that fucking shit out.

There's also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they'd then completely fail to convey anything.

[–] ChillCapybara@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 2 months ago

So, so much. Then realizing you typed two paragraphs replying to a text. Then spend 30 minutes on full re-edits until your self doubt makes you eventually delete it all and simply respond “ok” where normal people only take 10 seconds to type that and yet you get annoyed by their lack of communication. And thus the self hatred spiral continues, as ever.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I use dashes - like this - and feel called out.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Listen there is nothing wrong with having used both commas, dashes and parentheses in the same comment. It's perfectly normal.

Right?

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Don't forget to add brackets along with the parenthesis so you can have a clarifying thought during your clarifying thought

After years and years of hard work and therapy, I'm now a hilarious mix of the two.

You might ask, "How is your sink so empty and your kitchen so clean, but your clean laundry is piled so high that this is probably your entire wardrobe here on the floor next to the dryer?"

Well, I would answer, "How did you get in my house and would you like something to eat?"

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I climbed through the window, because I thought I saw a kitty, but turns out is just a pillow. and yes

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

If you check under the blanket next to the pillow, there is a sleeping kitty. He is greedy for pets and will meow at you.

This is a trap. If you start petting him, you're never allowed to stop.

Never. Allowed. To. Stop.

Censoring a meme on the internet is stupid.

Fuck it, I don't seem to have AD(H)D. That's why I've spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can't fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I'm so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

[–] BendingHawk@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Shit, I just bounce back and forth between the 2 depending on how I feel today

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago
[–] RushLana@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago

I'm held together by anxiety, caffeine and an unhealthy amount of self hate.

I also have 7 list, a board, 3 reminder app and leave sticky notes everywhere but I least I'm productive ( please help )

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes I'm too tired to unmask.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

~~ Sometimes I’m too tired to unmask.~~

Sometimes I’m too tired to mask.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Downvote because it's a bad ADHD meme and for the goddamn motherfucking censored fuck.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago
[–] M137@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This was posted WITHOUT the dumb fucking censoring earlier today...

[–] T156@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Sometimes it's both, where you mask to seem like the first, while being the second.

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

I'm like one in public but the other in private.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'm type 2 and a joke, can confirm.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I've learned to appreciate my chaos for life's spice. I'm an Absurdist. I like to be the reason others do things. All that to say i rather enjoy the freedoms of peace and everyone should add a bit of flower magic to their life.

There's the "I'm 60 and I don't realize I have it and it annoys the fuck out of my colleagues" type that I had to deal with...

[–] n3cr0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It's too relatable to be a joke.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm the second until i am stressed enough to start disassociating, then i become the first one :)

I went from the 2nd type to the 1st type and I don't regret it. My life is fun now.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Are you asking what the term means? Masking is basically wearing an imaginary mask to hide whatever about you isn't deemed "normal" by society. Some typical examples are people with ADHD focussing very hard on noticing when it's their turn to speak, people with autism forcing themselves to make eye contact, people with depression putting on a happy face. Normal Person cosplay.

[–] haroldfinch@feddit.nl 18 points 2 months ago

"Normal people cosplay."

I was sorely lacking this definition in my vocabulary. Thank you for the correction.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the explanation!
