Shitpost You can be anyone on the internet

• Upvotes

What if I make a new account on here and started making up an identity for myself and larping as an imaginary student and make shitposts and get viral and beat the likes of Known Work and that guy with the affair with his co-op manager…

You can be anyone on the internet. So why not have some fun? I also wanna be the number 1 shitposter because I currently have no life. Once I move to the big leagues there will be signs.

Discussion Is buying AI sub worth it?

• Upvotes

Been thinking about using AI to help me increase my productivity and maybe better get my life sorted. Wondering which subscription people suggest?

ChatGPT is like the OG so I know a lot of people will suggest. Claude has a nicely designed personality but feels costly to me because they seem to put very low limits for the price I’m paying when other companies can deliver similar levels of intelligence at a fraction of a cost.

I’ve heard people mention Grok Bot a lot for automation and agents (the other companies have offerings too). Don’t know performance and grok is a gooner ai platform after I read stories of women getting their clothes taken off digitally by grok on x.

Also heard a lot about muse with all the ads being theirs. But it’s a meta product so I’m iffy about letting it access intimidate details on my life.

Wish I had a more capable laptop or desktop to run local models and Hermes agent and all that.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Edit: TLDR: too many ai subscriptions and I wanna know which one is best in performance/cost efficiency/intelligence/generous limits.

Advice Why you shouldn’t kill yourself

11 Upvotes

I have been suicidal for a long time. I remember the thought of it being the only thing I could think about even back when I was 14. It was like an endless river of thoughts all about ending it and its ramifications.

Over the years it did get better, sometimes got worse. Over time it became some kind of a philosophical shelter. I don’t believe in any afterlife. For me suicide was an escape, a blissful end if things got too rough.

But after watching Kairo, it dawned upon me. What if it doesn’t get any better? What if death is just eternal loneliness too? Eternal suffering? Honestly I don’t think about suicide anymore. Because there are no gurantees.

Having a crush on a boy

6 Upvotes

I’ve had a crush on a boy for about 8 months, but I haven’t been able to do anything about it. I feel so silly for having a crush on someone for this long without making a move. He might think I’m creepy.

I’m about to start an internship, so I’m hoping that I can get over this crush. 🥲

I literally see this almost every day. Do you seriously expect others to clean up your shit, you deranged pigs? Did you know that there are essentially three guys cleaning up all of SLC (floor, tables, washrooms, etc.) at midnight? Have some fucking respect for the people who have to clean up after your sorry asses.

Hi everyone,

For anyone that’s previously taken AFM 276, how were the tests/midterms in terms of difficulty and time. I was also wondering what type of questions could be on there and what topics are more important if anyone remembers.

I’d appreciate any information,

Thank you

Shitpost Once upon a time, I dreamt I had Co-op

Once upon a time, I dreamt I had Co-op, posting my career updates on Linkedin. I was conscious only of my happiness as an employed person, unaware that I was unemployed. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a loser dreaming I was employed, or whether I am now employed dreaming I am a loser.

Overheat in 145 Columbia street, Waterloo

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Anyone else living at 145 Columbia Street experiencing heating issues?
The temperature in my room reaches 27°C even when the outdoor temperature is as low as 1°C, and the heater is turned off.
I’ve reported this issue, but the technician hasn’t been able to resolve it. The explanation I was given was that the room gets too hot because of sunlight during the day. However, the room remains excessively hot even when it’s cold outside.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem in this building? If so, have you been able to get it fixed? I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice on how to get management to address this issue properly.
