white text on yellow background, that's infuriating

[-] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 56 points 1 year ago

I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

When you're actually using the app instead of having the compression artifacts of being screenshot several times, it's not as bad.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

I don't care if you're watching it in 32k on Odin's personal account, white on yellow is NEVER acceptable for ANYTHING.

If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one .... then he doesn't care about you in the slightest.

"But its a generic question!"

Two words: common courtesy.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 77 points 1 year ago

People (guys usually) also answer like this when they are trying to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you'll sleep with them. They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they've lost their chance. It's a very manipulative mindset. He was like a deer in the headlights, not knowing if any answer he gave would be the right answer since he doesn't know her at all yet. So he stalls, hoping she'll drop it.

Or he might just be an idiot.

Either way, drop them and move on to somebody who will be real with you.

It's kind of nice when people reveal themselves to be insufferable douchebags at the outset rather than wasting your time.

Id say she got to know just about eveything she needed to know about this person.

[-] aaronstc@lemmy.world 137 points 1 year ago

This is so weird. The first response was somewhat acceptable if in a joking manner but then he quintuple downed.

[-] eochaid@lemmy.world 131 points 1 year ago

Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.

[-] voidhearts@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago

I didn’t even know it was humanly possible to not like music at all. What were they like? Like their personalities? Did they seem sociopathic or were they generally “normal”?

[-] chandz05@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

I used to not like music at all and 15 year old me would have probably responded just like this guy. But for me it was more that I didn't know what I liked until I heard it. Everyone around me exclusively listened to top 40 and RnB, or techno/house. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me cos I hated everything I heard. And then I heard metal for the first time, and everything changed.

That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌

[-] Nelots@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

What confuses me is why they chose to use white text there... surely the orange background is bright enough for black text to be far easier to read?

To play the devils advocate here, maybe music man has gotten ridiculed before with this question on his music preference. When I'm driving by myself, I'll fire up youtube and listen to all sorts of random stuff. But I'd never subject my wife to it as I know we don't share interest in some things.

Sounds like my son. He hates sharing his music no matter what it is. Same with videos. It's so stupid. Just tell me and move on why is the 21 pilots song you're listening to need to be top secret.

[-] Ech@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

This is not a comment on you, but I do the same thing and have come to realize it's at least in part a response to being judged in some way (or feeling judged at least) over things I shared with my family, so now I just don't share.

If it's important to you, it might be worth having a conversation about why they are withholding and, if it's for similar reasons, addressing why they feel that way and assuring them you'll do your best to keep them from feeling bad about sharing.

Almost as infuriating as giving chatGPT compilation errors and going in circles for a code fix

[-] Wololo@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

I literally broke down into tears doing this one night. Was running something that would take hours to complete and noticed an issue at maybe 11pm. Tried to troubleshoot and could not for the life of me figured it out. Thought to myself, surely chatgpt can help me figure this out quickly. Fast forward to 3am, work night: "no, as stated several times prior, this will not resolve the issue, it causes it to X, Y, Z, when it should be A, B, C. Do you not understand the issue?"

"I apologize for any misunderstanding. You are correct, this will not cause the program to A, B, C. You should... Inserts the same response it's been giving me for several hours"

It was at that moment that I realized these large language models might not currently be as advanced as people make them out to be
