Who gives a fuck about how many syllables it has? Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but it has absolutely zero impact.

Yeah the rest made sense but that bit. Games can be extremely challenging much more so than any other mental activity you’ll end up doing.

This is why you pirate, not why you buy physical media.

Oh interesting. Thanks. I’ll look into it further to understand the differences.

Keep proving my point lol. It’s a shame on a science board that people aren’t willing to engage in discussion but just pointless one word responses or personal attacks.

I’m not sure you’re correct on the last point. My understanding is copilot gets chatgpt 4 turbo which is the paid version, as well as other parts like dall-e 3 so for free it’s definitely the best option…

And fair enough on the google stuff being free for at least 2 months. That makes more economic sense.

It is surprising from a competitive perspective though in that Google is behind already, so putting it behind a pay wall doesn’t help with that.

When you’re the size of Google surely you make it as free as possible and lose some money to gain marketshare back.

Why the fuck would I pay for Gemini which I’ve basically never heard of vs. GPT 4 which for better or worse is considered the coming of the new AI revolution.

Also GPT 4 is easily accessible for free for most people via the Bing app, so not like you have to pay for general use.

Thanks I did.

My conclusions are the same. I’d be curious to hear why a single study of 300 people for you makes you think that psychedelics are now the cure for long term relationship issues.

Your opinion must change a lot if you base your opinion on these sorts of small studies that mean little!

People who make comments that add little to no value to the discussion such as yours.

This makes no sense/is not relevant to my comment at all…

But sure, if you can’t make an argument against it feel free to use irrelevant anecdotes. But what can you expect from a person who probably doesn’t play basketball.

I don’t disagree they can have great effects, but the research is way too limited on it.

Again, given the actual issue - there are far better researched and understood ways of dealing with it than just taking some drugs and hoping for the best of it.

And yes, myself and friends have taken psychedelics. I recall needing to stop my friend from cutting his penis off as he was hallucinating it was attacking him. Great solid experience.

I’m sure there’s safe dosages and if done under supervision it’s fine, but we’re nowhere near that at the moment and you’re just as likely to have a bad experience as anything profound and good imo.

The anecdote sort of works, but in my version, you’re putting a bandage on a broken bone. I mean, sure, maybe it’ll help but there’s better ways of doing it based on what we know.

There’s a lot of potential benefits to psychedelics. But a single study of 300 people showing one effect is hardly cause for celebration.

There is a massive difference in using well studied and understood ways to help couples work through issues VS. Taking something poorly understood that we have close to zero understanding of the long term impact for.

So I’m pretty comfortable saying this is bullshit until proven otherwise, and I think that’s the healthiest way to do it.

Think of it another way - there’s far more research and drugs that are touted as curing cancer that go nowhere than there is support for this. It’s a sexy headline but pretty useless at end of day.

? My experience is as valid as anyone else’s.

If you can’t cope with that then I guess you are the one huffing copium.

Enraged? Because I’m suggesting long term relationship issues are extremely unlikely to be solved by short term solutions?

Yes clearly I’m the crazy one here. Do you honestly believe that serious relationship issues can be solved by a short term acting drug? I’m sure there’s a small chance, but it’s ridiculous to think it’d work for more than a minority.

But feel free to throw some baseless insults instead of providing an actual counter argument! I get it though, if you can’t make an argument, easiest to just attack the person. 😊

Lol. If your relationship has improved significantly becsuse you’ve taken some short term acting drugs then it either wasn’t a problem in the first place or you’re lying to yourself.

Are people here not in relationships? You must have intense fantasies to think long term issues can be solved by short term solutions.

If you can’t fix your marriage normally, just drink/take drugs so you’re too smashed to worry about whether you actually like your partner!

Solid advice.

In related news, if you’re unfulfilled in your current relationship, just cheat/spend time with others to fill the gaps! Problem solved.

Yes I agree. This is why I use Windows over Linux because Linux requires too much tinkering…

Thanks?

Ultimately it will all be anecdotal.

I’ve done plenty of upgrades without issues.

And I’ve tried Linux and found it abysmal with way too much of the sorts of issues you’ve mentioned.

So for me Linux is obviously a no go, but I could see why it would appeal perhaps to someone like yourself. Ultimately we are directed by our experiences.

Everyone says to just keep it at Windows 10 or that Windows 11 is not that bad as that’s the majority of people. It’s a small group that says to just use Linux, and if you think it’s everyone it suggests you are in an echo chamber/don’t participate widely enough in various communities.
