The only way to break out of the expectation and thus the pattern is to intentionally seek experiences outside of that paradigm. Talk to your friends, seek comfort and support in camaraderie. It sucks that this is the case, but this is something that only changes with applied intention.

You need to reach out to people instead of sawing off contact with those who care about you. The urge you talk about is depression.

A depressed brain seeks isolation because that's what's comfortable to it. Even though it's painful to you, it's the pattern your brain is expecting.

Even from an entirely cynical perspective, organically learning how to text potential partners effectively is always going to net more matches than those stuck using an LLM.

If you want to be a fully textured and interesting person you have to be willing to put yourself out there, because it's the only way to figure out who you actually are. There is no substitute.

Everybody wants to be perceived as perfect in everything they do so they can just skip all the annoying talking and doing and existing and just get to the life milestones, the accolades, the status symbols that they can put in their mental trophy case. The ultimate commodification of life itself.

This is what happens when people view human interaction as a means to an end instead of the entire point. Like, why even date someone if you aren't going to bother to get to know them?

And if these people are just trying to smash, why not just be forward about it?

A charitable reading of this is that insecurity leads folks to turn to a supposedly magical, confident advisor, like a cyber-Cyrano. A less charitable reading is that a lot of people have gone completely insane.

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

Hell of a soundtrack, though. Too bad the movie fights it every step of the way.

The movie isn't even coherent enough to be the AI suckoff festival it can't decide if it wants to be.

This is for when a certain country needs an excuse to strike inside the US, isn't it?

The army brought a ̵b̵o̵u̵n̵c̵y̵ ̵c̵a̵s̵t̵l̵e̵ tactical obstacle course to my high school one year.

Which was actually something that No Child Left Behind forced every school in the US. If the military wants to set up recruitment shit at a school they can't decline without risking their federal funding.

Video is def hitting the spot so far. A lot of good info.

Shadaloo Dumpster Fire @dankpasta.bsky.social · 4d

I didn't even think of that, but given the military already sets up booths at gaming cons and shit it def makes sense.
