Mine (Finnish Lapphunds) love having a pull in the snow too. Snowboard or sled for winter; longboard when the snow’s gone.

I learned this from a husky owner that they get a big mental stimulation from it because it ticks off their drive to pull, as many are bred for. Quickly they learn what type of walkies we’re doing based on whether the harnesses go on. They’ll be all pumped, then start off and immediately get into this really methodical endurance rhythm. Like a pace they naturally just do balancing speed and effort to maximise distance. It’s so cool.

One husky can handle one person with ease too. And teaching stop, go, left, and right commands is another big stimulation for them they love.

Edit: Oh, but make sure they’ve got a good supporting harness for it, and you’ll probably want paw wax if the ground’s a bit textured up and you’re doing a few KMs with them.

Wow. Just in time.

It is on a timeline, but not tech.

If you compare 1985 to 2005, holy shit. So many classics because of mind blowing advances.

2005 - 2025… Well, there’s still 2005 games that go hard with some mods. We really rely on gameplay and story to make a classic now.

It’s great for logs and learning the basics, sure, but I find it quickly ends up off the rails.

If a door came off its hinge, ChatGPT will eventually have you build an entire house around it; a house that breaks every building code imaginable, no less.

It’s best you do the steering by double checking it’s claims—usually this points you to a Reddit post where it clearly got the info from—and searching through Wikis and boards yourself. In those cases Linux users may sound like they’re speaking another language, and then ChatGPT can help break their solution down for you and implement it.

If people were to use LLMs for things they’re already experts in, they would realise how frequently and drastically wrong LLMs are. It’s honestly scary knowing it’s out there wreaking havoc on important things and people using them don’t realise.

But I’ve not really used Lemmy for tech support.

I would sooner ask a rabid squirrel for relaxing holiday ideas.

Is anyone who’s backed into a corner there because they backed themselves into it?

Yes. The corner doesn’t actually exist. A big mental hurdle is realising there’s nothing stopping someone from doing whatever they want. We have social contracts, but they’re also a part of the problem if taken too seriously.

I frequently remind myself, “If I were born the only human on earth, knowing none of this, what would I be doing right now?” and I aspire to be that person, because that’s the true me.

99% of people’s “life problems” are rooted in other people existing. Others are not to blame, of course, but it’s just something to be aware of when taking care of one’s mental health. The corner only exists and feeds on acknowledgment.

Aye. Internet comments are usually opinion vs opinion; worrying about the thoughts of others first, knowing there’s a conflict to “win” rather than ponder.

Online commentary is usually people never making it past the preface before slamming the book. That’s why news article titles are how they are; few people actually open and read the article.

Experiences be experiences, though. I could well be wrong, but the worst that happens is my advice was irrelevant. I’d be silly to not try help.

My kudos to you for keeping it real and listening to the whole song 🙂

Edit; Sorry, I rambled. In my defence I’m drunk because a bunch of my family died this week. Dunno why I’m saying this, but I guess that’s the ramble. Thanks for listening.

Think you just pinpointed a major kink of your depression. Consumed by what others are thinking, even though that’s their problem and not your’s. I’m sure there’s more, but I wouldn’t be consumed about how you appear to others unless you want to live for everyone else’s ideals and the expectations rather than your own.

Disassociating from that and reclaiming my life was a huge step forward in my depression and anxiety. I think that’s one of the most common mental health pitfalls to not realise you’ve fallen into.

I had some teachers when I was in school that would just hand you a paper, hand you a book, and that was it.

Couldn’t do that if I even tried. I’d be so bored, I’d have to teach just to pass the time quicker lol

I was educated in Australia for quite some time and we kind of formed friendships with our teachers. Always ceremonious thank yous, gifts, and hugs from the class as we’d finish up the year and move onto new teachers.

Will never forget Mr Schwartz, Mr Hornby, and Ms Chamberlain. Teachers that lit up our worlds and had massive respect from all the kids.

I just kind of assumed people would be doing that already… But then I see how Becky from HR makes use of AI and, yeah, we need regulations for even the most obvious things.

56% of them are partially illiterate or worse.

hahahahaha! Oh, my days…

Alright, calm down everyone! As expected, Canada’s economy is absolutely fine. Nothing unusual here. This one’s just not realised the things they’re experiencing are totally normal everywhere in the world. Canada’s actually got it quite good compared to most everywhere else.

Do it. Stalin can suck one.

I’m sure it’s fine. Most Christians aren’t Christians anyway, especially if this takes place in the States.

It is. Humans aren’t forbidden and we’d be considered a clean animal.

I 100% RDR and killing cougars with a knife still haunts me. It’s exactly as it sounds. Go do melee combat with a gigantic pissed off cat that almost always comes in pairs, sometimes a trio.

The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot on the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.

I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.

Justin Hawkins has a great YT channel. Dude loves his music and raw talent, and has a very interesting perspective on the industry and artists.

And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.

Crank the temperature settings and have it say “Trust me, bro.”
