What are some small, everyday ways to become a kinder person?

Jump

HubertManne @piefed.social 2d ago

Im not sure if this will make you kinder but I find many many people skip very easy oportunities to make a small improvement in the world. These things are miniscule but they are things everyone can do all the time. Grab a cart from the lot if you pass one by that is not in a choral as you go to the store. Pick up litter that you pass by and toss or recycle it. I live in a condo complex and if my neighbor have packages that are easy enough to carry I bring them up and put it near their door and they actually now do the same for me. Not only a great convenience for us both but a great little human interaction for us both that makes us closer neighbors. Hold a door for someone, offer a seat on a train. Just keep in mind if you have an oportunity to do something that is scarcly and inconvenience for you but makes the world a better place. I would add smile when you see people. Be nice whenever you can and even return rudeness or such with strangers with kindness. You don't have to deal with their stuff every day so its easier to be pleasant and move on.

Is everybody just struggling financially right now?

The problem is the systems seems alright if you essentially don't use it which is the situation with a majority of people. Then they get fed the bs about long wait times and how we have the best most advanced stuff. Which for the first part we have long wait times and increasingly so and those most advanced stuff is enjoyed by politicians and rich folk but less from the average joe.

yeah but the bs janitor jobs were not such a thing back then to. LIke being a janitor at abbot in the 70's was non union and non government but nice. Janitors were in house and part of the company and not part of a service.

yeah. I have a sick wife and healthcare was a third of my monthly nut. If the us had universal healthcare I would be able to keep going for some time.

What's your overall opinion on generative AI?

Jump

HubertManne @piefed.social 5d ago

kinda negative. It tends to do a good enough job at time but can't really make anything all that great to me compared to human experts/professionals. I think its very useful for the average person when they can't afford to pay and expert and need something. So like the person who wants to make a picture of their pathfinder character. Before someone might be able to hire someone if they had the cash or if they were lucky had an artistic friend who could do it. Now anyone can. Its use in business spaces now for communication is painful. Many people don't proof read the output and allow the message to get lost in the communication they had written. They need to remember they are communicating with people.

Even before my unemployment I felt this way. I mean by felt that its just a fact. My father never went to high school. Im not saying did not graduate. Im saying never went. Mom only worked a few part time jobs and never for a need for money. Grew up in a massive 5 bedroom house and we always had 2 or more cars. Dad was a janitor. I have a BS and masters and had changed to IT due to my first career not paying enough and have no kids (I had 6 siblings). One car and two bedroom condo is my max achievement and im running through savings in my 50's. Oh my dad had multiple pensions and a good amount of retirement savings.

I often think that if I won the lotter or such while my personal situation would change it would still be depressing because of the world situation. Its like even with excess what charity to focus on. Unfortunately I think anything excess would need to be used for politics nationally to try and change things which would be so much less personally satisfying than working with charities locally.

I can't see using voice for productive work as you need to reference what it said and check it for errors and such.

What is your most loved and often used kitchen gadget or appliance?

Jump

HubertManne @piefed.social 5d ago

so here is the thing. my dog has all these allergies and its hard to explain but what worked out best is this wet hydrolozyed food cooked/dried out in our convection toaster oven. That is every day. Human food wise though the rice cooker totally wins out but the convection toaster oven would be second still.
