I actually think the bad one shot is kind of part of the joke.

For instance: Someone posts a petty revenge story about getting back at their ex boyfriend for cleaning out their bank account.

I comment on that post with my request to aihorde along the lines of “a drag queen lifting a champagne glass as a toast to how delightfully petty someone is being”.

AIHorde will then generate the image.

Regardless of how good or bad the gen is, my original intent will come across because the OP can still see that my AIHorde prompt was intended to compliment OP. The bonus is if AIHorde comes up with an awesome output, it will be hilarious. It the output is terrible, also hilarious. If the output is so-so, the original intent of a compliment was still delivered.

At least, that’s my thinking.

As an example: Slack kind of had this functionality when sending GIFs awhile back. If you had the Giphy integration, you’d just type “/gif {topic}” and the integration would select a random gif that was returned from searching your topic. This GIF would be posted in the chat without you having the chance to review it first. Sometimes the GIF returned was irrelevant result, but everyone brushed it off because they knew how random the integration could be. Other times, it returned the perfect GIF and the potential randomness of result made a good GIF result even more satisfying.

Reduce social anxiety by being able to do stupid human tricks when hanging out with people.

This is gold and I’m so thankful for this knowledge.

I wish I could limit the response to just one picture so I could use this as a meme generator in response to user comments.

Game scared the shit out of me as a kid

I’m a freak for a Christmas movie. I probably watch 20-30 of them a year when the season comes around

Dude nice. I like the first one

Cordyceps fungus. Prion diseases like Chronic Wasting Disease.

Both are horrible

The multiplayer was actually fun too back in the day. Truly a masterpiece.

Damn, I’m the only one using Mlem?

The original intent is what my understanding was and why I don’t upvote reposts across multiple communities.

Just a few moments ago I upvoted a post that I didn’t “like” because the discourse on it was so good.

…There’s definitely stuff I still hate-downvote tho 😈

Still up to the site itself to decide what is “violating content”. This puts a chilling effect on upvoting and gets Reddit one step further from what it once was.

Age is also something that matters here. Are you middle-aged yet? I ended up pulling the brakes on my career to get a better work-life balance, but it ended up stunting my career trajectory a bit.

Once I had more free time and realized I wanted to earn more, I had to hustle to get back to a top-of-market position.

In short: there’s always time on the future to pivot to Option B. If there’s more value to extract where you are, milk it for all it’s worth and then exit before it goes south (as all jobs do).

And here I am near the end of the day saying “well fuck, guess I’m working late tonight to deliver this thing I promised.”

I do this to myself…

I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

I felt the exact same sentiment. Not being able to sort my feed based on “most likes” or “most reposts” didn’t make sense to me. I wanna see top quality content first, not just some rando’s thoughts at the exact moment that I’m online.

Like, it was fine, but it didn’t quite hit the spot.

I think about this all the time.

Cremia and Romani’s failure state is so sad :’(

Yes, “Does this look the same to you?” Is strikethrough.

Couldn’t agree more. Good message, but pontificating as hell.

Gotta start the day early with some data scrubbing. One of our ETL processes is fucked and I’ve been tasked with figuring out how to fix it.
