Yeah sometimes I’m like, well that’s a moped, does it count as a motorcycle?

DesolateMood ,

I find that whatever your snap judgment is will be the correct answer, so basically yes the moped usually counts as a motorcycle

SuperSpruce ,

My big interest right now is motorcycles yet I still recently failed a motorcycle captcha

UnspecificGravity ,

Most of these were trained/tested using third world labor on mechanical turk. It actually helps to approach the problem from that understanding:

“Would a person who speaks English as a second language and who is getting paid less than a penny to decide, call this a motorcycle?”

Dude needs to answer about a million of those to make money, so he’s not overthinking it, your knee-jerk answer is probably right.

These are actually checking if you are a bot btw, so to pass them more quickly just don’t move like a bot would. Do shit a bot wouldnt do like clicking and unclicking something, swirl your cursor around the screen, etc.

Also answer these kind of wrong to fuck with AI

The ones that get me are captchas saying select all squares with motorcycles when it is clearly a bicycle.

mindbleach ,

There was an inflection point where captcha went from “demonstrate human vision” to “guess what the robot sees.”

I got one asking for mountain ranges where one was plainly the tops of nearby trees. Which I got scolded for not clicking on.

tdawg , to memes in Bed at 7 am really become cozy

For anyone struggling with this I have two things that might help

In the moment, you need to get out of bed. Doesn’t matter with you do. You’ll feel tired again after a while and then you can go back to bed. You don’t want your brain associating your bed with being awake

More systemically though. You might not be getting enough exercise. Especially if you work at a desk, or are a student. I like going on long walks, but just find something that works for you. The key here is to experiment

areyouevenreal , to memes in Later me will manage

I think something is wrong with me then. When I start something early it normally ends up with me losing momentum part way through, stopping for ages, then having to work like mad at the end anyway. That or I end up changing project idea and having to start again. Both of these ended up happening with my dissertation.

Like even when I start stuff at the right time it goes to shit. Somehow when I do stuff last minute it mostly turns out fine.

jack ,

Procrastination is good, it takes you were you naturally want to be and what you intuitively think is right. Starting early and forcing yourself through things you don’t care about is not productive.

sheogorath ,

But isn’t that like making excuses for yourself tho? I usually did the same as the parent commenter did. But if there’s an especially critical task that I cannot afford to ignore I use something like pomodoro timer to keep my attention span in check. Barring an external distraction – getting more of this as I’m getting more senior in my current work + kids when working remotely (⁠ノ⁠ಥ⁠,⁠_⁠」⁠ಥ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻ – this method usually works.

areyouevenreal ,

Do things like pomodoro timers actually work?

sheogorath ,

It works, although you need to really stick to only working during the work time. I tried it when writing my thesis and miraculously I managed to work on it basically the whole day, from morning till night. Since then I’ve been using it sporadically when there’s an important work because for it to work for me I need to lock myself up so as to not get distracted by other people.

A tab of LSD is just about 5 bucks and one of my best experiences and fondest memories.

anonochronomus ,
@anonochronomus@hexbear.net avatar

Really good mushrooms can be equally cheap. They’re so much stronger than back in the day, 1g could be equal to 100mcg of LSD. Not to mention cultivating them is relatively easy as far as these sorts of things go.

I do ketamine infusion therapy as well. It’s a massive injection that is consistent and constant for about 90 minutes. It is one of the WILDEST experiences people can have, up there with DMT or DPT but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it’s much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

But it is very important to have a the prerequisite knowledge and the right intentions for first time psychedelic users. There’s a reason some of the greatest villains of history used these drugs to try to control human behavior and we don’t know the extent to which they were successful nor what they still do. I’m very suspicious of the predominant culture around psychedelic drugs, it’s just another example of colonial cultural appropriation and assimilation. The psychedelic experience is something that can be incredibly profound and powerful, but it can also fuck you up pretty good. These chemicals, the plants they come from, and the cultures that have been using them for hundreds to thousands of years demand a lot of respect. If you don’t respect them, you will quickly learn to.

TheCaconym ,

but instead of all of reality melting digitally disintegrating dripping all around you it’s much more like the classic description of a near death experience/OBE.

That description doesn’t match my DMT experiences at all; at threshold doses I’m always somewhere else completely, the world doesn’t disintegrate around me, I go somewhere else entirely with no relation to my previous environment and I go there in seconds at most, it’s almost instantaneous. And what’s on the other side is indeed sometimes close to the classic description of NDEs.

@anonochronomus@hexbear.net avatar

Excuse me. Ive only done DMT once and it was a small dose. My experience with tryptamines is mostly 4-aco-DMT and DPT. But I get ketamine injections weekly.

UnrepententProcrastinator ,

That’s more like a try once or twice with people you trust than let’s do that shit every weekend sort of drug. Or am I wrong?

jose1324 ,

You’re wrong

electric_nan ,

It depends on you. Some people get therapeutic benefit from regular psychedelic experiences, and never stop. Other people gain life-changing insights from one or several trips. Still others use/abuse it purely for fun, with a range of consequences resulting. A minority of people have adverse reactions where latent mental illnesses like schizophrenia can be triggered.

I’m in the second camp. A couple quotes that I relate to: “Once you get the message, hang up the phone” – Alan Watts. “Never point [psychedelics] at anything you don’t want perforated with new light”-- Terence McKenna.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

I’m in the fourth camp 😭

latent mental illnesses like schizophrenia can be triggered.

electric_nan ,

I’m sorry that happened to you, and I hope you are doing well.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Thank you, the good news is I’ve never touched drugs at all, because I already know that it would send me into psychosis because I have predisposition to such problems, family history and delicate psychological condition.

So everything I do is intentionally extremely healthy and my life is very boring and I can’t do anything fun but that’s my life.

radioactiveradio ,

I’ve been interested in psychedelics, but I’m scared I’ll open a Pandora’s box and then it’ll be everyone’s problem. What’s it like?

Just find a job which you love and which pays a lot, problem solved!

tdawg ,

Unironcally. I think is what to do but backwards. You should try out the paths that lead toward the best paid jobs until you find the one you like the most. People get top caught up on finding their “dream job.” Your team, the company, and the culture will have a bigger impact on your mental health than the tasks anyway

I can confirm that this works. It’s what I did and I’m a lot happier than when I worked a job with an average salary.

I don’t know what in the hell I did, I have one of the solid circular round ones with a small hole in the back for the keychain. It’s been on my keys for ages. One morning I went to put my seat belt on and got a sharp stab. I pulled my keys out and it was bent 90° and I just the tiniest little bit of blood on it.

I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.

In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven’t done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven’t even thought about that until this post, actually.

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

The dude who sold me my latest smartphone this year had one long fingernail. I kinda thought it was a coke nail until he applied my screen protector and used the nail to separate the plastic backing from it. Aha!

I studied classical guitar in high school and since I could never keep my real fingernails intact I always had three plastic nails going on my right hand. That was a tough one to explain to the local bullies.
