How to prevent cats from shitting on my lawn?!? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

How is hurting a feral cat a criteria for what he is allowed to do? A coyote would certainly have no compunction, why should he?

Hypersonic deterrence have never been proven to work.

As long as it keeps me employed I am happy to move pixels all day.

Do you believe in God? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] BillTheTailor@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

No. Raised in the faith but never truly believed.

It's logically dishonest to say "There are no gods." How do you prove there isn't something? Maybe you just can't see it right now. Agnostic atheist is the only logical position one could take.

What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Arduino and hobby electronics. It started out as a continuous loop pad dye machine to save me having to dye fabric by hand, strictly mechanical, but then I wanted to automate adding the chemicals at the right times. Then it was keeping the dye liquor a consistent temperature. Then it was draining the trough automatically. Then I figured out I could design my own PCBs and have them fabricated. It just keeps going...

The fabric on Admiral Marcus' uniform bears the same pattern as the carpet in the Overlook Hotel.

Is there an AI tool that doesn't clutch its pearls when asked for questionable content? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm writing a fiction story. There are two scenes where a woman is put in danger: one involves an almost-rape, the other the kind of language you'd get from an abusive relationship (in both cases the woman eventually comes out on top.)

I've never raped anyone or used abusive language, and as an autist I need something to go by if I'm in completely unfamiliar territory. I've been using ChatGPT for inspiration/ideas (not verbatim content), but when I bring up these scenarios, the AI gets all snooty and proper and lectures me on ethics, morals, proper behavior, etc. That's no help at all, as you can imagine.

So, is there an AI tool that doesn't clutch its pearls when asked for questionable content?
