So many truths are being drowned out around the globe and for the life of me I donโ€™t know how we get to the point where facts can dominate the conversation.

Or if they ever really have.

I like thanking AI. Then it said this.

"You're welcome! I hope that helps you navigate the conversation more effectively. Remember, it's perfectly fine to set boundaries and disengage if the discussion becomes unproductive or uncomfortable."

I put my MAGA cousin's raging rant into Gemini and asked for a polite way to respond.

The first paragraph is really validating. 10/10 going to keep using this.

Please don't compromise your bandwidth to deal with Devil's Advocate friends on social media.

For my sanity, I'll be using Gemini and DeepSeek for Facebook Arguments and summarizing articles.

Saved this a while back when that happened to me. Good luck!

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

That's my plan as well!

Get a sailboat and follow the coast, making stops only when I need to and it seems safe.

Gross. The music video was a constant reassurance that T-Pain wasn't under duress...

Which means he was under duress...

Still feeling it out in my mind. I tend to use those words exclusively to explain an obstacle in a game. Things like repetition or thin margins I attribute to Difficult while using a range of skills or using them in unique ways as challenging.

Thank you both for engagement! It means a lot.

28.11.2024 17:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

When say objective, I am speaking more on barrier side of the interaction though. Maybe more the range of skills tested versus the depth of a skill tested.

I get that person's capabilities are subjective. The barrier is less so when difficult as it's more about the obstacle itself than player.

Maybe I'm trying to question engagement too closely to difficulty.

Fair. They are often used interchangeably.

But I generally attribute Difficult to being more objective than subjective. Challenging seems to test and engage subjectively. A better question might be Does this challenge a player or is it difficult?

Jigsaw puzzles can be easy to do but challenging.
