Why? It doesn’t seem terrifying or amazing to me. Maybe an eyebrow raise.

Hm ok yeah, that seems quite scary sounding so that i would strongly hesitate before clicking on “discard ALL changes”. Still, I wonder if a second confirmation dialog with more information is warranted for a command that’s so destructive.

I don’t know anything about programming, i came here from /all, but it seems to me that a command that’s this permanently destructive warrants a second confirmation dialog message reminding the user that the files will be permanently deleted and not undoable

The best approach can be different for different people. I think a little googling will give you better advice than i could come up with. Good luck!

And i would guess that most geologists wind up having to do nothing but very boring repetitive side quests just to gather enough resources to keep their character alive

Mild to moderate depression. Pretty classic signs. Not getting enjoyment out of nice things (anhedonia), tiredness, difficulty getting yourself to do things even when you might like doing them, pessimism about the future, having difficulty thinking clearly, etc. These are all very common symptoms of depression.

How can you tell it’s ai?

Why isn’t it for you?

How dumb do you have to be to think that was a good idea?

That’s one interpretation, but the description i gave includes a much larger range than that

That’s exactly what i was trying to say. I don’t have the chance to make an impact on society at large, but i absolutely do make a very significant impact on the individual people in my personal circle, and that’s extremely valuable.

Old enough to have a significant amount of gray hairs, but not so old that it’s all gray

But that’s awesome! Having simpler dreams means you can actually achieve them! That’s so much better than having dreams of stardom that results in disappointment and wasted life opportunities for 99.99999% of those people.

And also, your dreams sound like very meaningful things that make a great life!

Maybe at your age. At my age almost all of the Something Great bells have rung. Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of very meaningful things i can accomplish, and many important impacts i can make on individual people’s lives, - but for me the possibility of doing something that has a broader impact on society is pretty much gone. But so what, the impact i can have on individual people’s lives is still very valuable, and my own subjective experience of life is just as important as anyone else’s! So i try to make my own experience of living as good as it can be!

That I never did Something Great™ with my life.

Didn’t become a rock star, didn’t cure cancer, didn’t invent a world changing technology, didn’t become a famous artist, etc.

I didn’t know specifically what I was aiming to do, but for some reason I assumed that i would do something that made a big impact on the world. I was totally convinced of it. And it’s not because my parents constantly told me that or anything. The closest i heard was a lot of “you have so much potential if you’d only apply yourself!” Ugh.
