  • Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injection

  • It didn't work for me, either. Maybe it depends on the languages? I was trying French to English.

  • I've always enjoyed Bizarro, but I didn't know these were a thing. Thanks for the link.

    • Believable and consistent characters. Their actions should make sense.
    • A plot that doesn't rely on lazy tropes like characters failing to communicate. I'm looking at you, romance movies.
    • Character growth or change.
    • An interesting and internally consistent plot.

    I feel like Aliens is a great example of this. The Marines grow over the course of the mission. Everyone has a sensible motivation (to them), and works towards it. The plot is simple, but there's clear risk because characters die.

  • My brother grew up to become a homicidal freak. Are violent men common in the general population or was our childhood ROYALLY fucked?

  • I feel like you won the shit lottery. There are varying degrees of fucked-upedness, and it varies by region/culture/economic status, but that list seems like you've experienced a disproportionately shitty upbringing.

    I'm sorry you had to go through that, and I hope you're able to surround yourself with more normal people.

  • I'm gonna chemically castrate myself, should I tell my parents? (I am 26)

    Jump

  • When I was younger, my libido seemed to drive a lot of my decisions. I suspect I would have made much better choices if it had been turned down.

    You decide if you inform your family. If you cannot take that decision by yourself, you may not be ready to take the other, bigger decision just yet.

    Oof. I prefer to think that OP is trying to think through the consequences and wants our advice. On the big decision as well as the smaller one.

  • I'm gonna chemically castrate myself, should I tell my parents? (I am 26)

    Jump

  • To answer your question: you probably shouldn't tell them if you don't want drama.

    I'm an older man. In the past decade, my libido has decreased significantly. I used to fixate on sex. I'd feel incredibly frustrated when a perceived opportunity for sex fell through. I spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at porn. A constant desire for sex complicated my romantic relationships.

    Now that my libido is lower, sex feels like a fun activity. A missed opportunity is a minor disappointment, rather than severely frustrating. Porn feels like an occasional treat rather than a necessity. Wanting sex is something I choose, rather than a compulsion.

    So I think I understand where you might be coming from. If I could have turned down my libido when I was your age, I think I might have considered it.

    I don't know much about chemical castration. Other posters said there may be undesirable long-term side effects. You should discuss those with your family, since they might know about issues that run in your family. But there will be drama.

  • This is probably the most beautiful thing I've seen online in a while. I'm glad she's messaging you back! Good luck!

  • Nice! Take it easy with her. If she's too tired to chat, give her room.

    And like someone else mentioned: go slow. Ask questions. Get to know her.

    Good luck dude. I hope it works out.

  • Yo. I'd go with honesty. Something like: "I read these messages, and they're really cringy. But I like you. Can we talk? If you don't answer, or you say no, I'll leave you alone."

    That gives her the choice. If you don't get a yes, leave her alone.

  • I don't know how you screwed up. Or how long she's left you hanging.

    If it's a couple of days, I'd let it lie and then send her another message.

    If it's been a few weeks, maybe drop her a message, admit the screw up, and see if she'll overlook it.

  • This sounds terrible. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you find your way through this soon.
