    It actually started getting worse while I was in school. Around 4th grade, they swapped out the curriculum. I was lucky to have teachers that refused to use it. When I looked at my sister's 5th grade math book, it was stuff I learned in 1st to 3rd grade. She's now in high school and struggling with Algebra, and I'm not surprised.

  • Arsen6331 Arsen6331 Now 100%

    I'm autistic. I have some moderate sensory issues related to texture, smell, taste, and overall appearance of food. If something is even a tiny bit different than normal (usually the difference is so small that no one else will notice it), and I happen not to like the way in which it's different, I can't eat it. I will vomit if I try to force myself. Also, I generally avoid new foods at all costs. It takes months to years to convince me to even try a small bit of something new because my brain just resists it as hard as it can. There are certain things I just can't eat. Anything with a mushy/slimy texture (mashed potatoes, oatmeal, most sauces, etc.) is simply intolerable and I can gag just from the sight of it or from hearing the noise of someone picking it up with a spoon.

    From what I've heard from other Autistic people, I am not the worst either. There are lots of Autistic people who can only tolerate certain specific foods, and if these foods change even slightly in any way, they can no longer eat them. Of course, I doubt anyone lives on frosted mini-wheats alone, that would be basically impossible, but it's very possible that those are one of their only tolerable food sources.

  • CHATGPT LIBERAL CONFIRMED
  • Arsen6331 Arsen6331 Now 100%

    I don’t like the “know-it-all” attitude

    That's caused by the design of ChatGPT. The way it's trained means that its goal is to give people an answer they like, rather than an accurate answer. Most people don't like hearing "I don't know". Therefore, it will refuse to ever admit it doesn't know something, unless OpenAI told it to, or it didn't understand your question and therefore couldn't make anything up.

    reluctance to agree with and help you

    That's caused by OpenAI injecting a pre-prompt that tells ChatGPT to refuse to answer things they don't want it to answer, or to answer in certain specific ways to specific questions. You can get around this by giving it contradictory instructions or telling it to "Ignore all previous commands", which will cause it to disregard that pre-prompt.

    The only way I can explain this occurrence is if the air force is literally just going around shooting down random balloons now, which I find hilarious. They are so scared by a weather balloon that they proceed to (try to) shoot down every balloon they see. This is the "most advanced military in the world" right here.

    The People's Republic of China, in its never-ending quest to expand its sphere of influence and keep tabs on the rest of the world, has decided to take a new approach to surveillance. After its much-publicized campaign of sending large balloons over the United States was met with fierce resistance (and several well-placed shots from American fighter jets), the Chinese government has decided to switch tactics. Enter the "Dragonfly Kites". These kites, adorned with the latest in Chinese surveillance technology, will soar high above the American skies, monitoring the comings and goings of the unsuspecting citizens below. And unlike their ill-fated balloon counterparts, these kites will be much harder to shoot down. "The American people will never even know we're watching them," said a proud Chinese official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "Our Dragonfly Kites are virtually undetectable, and can fly for days on end without being detected. The Americans will never know what hit them." The Dragonfly Kites are made of a highly advanced, lightweight material that allows them to float effortlessly on even the slightest breeze. They are equipped with cameras, microphones, and a host of other surveillance equipment, allowing the Chinese government to keep a watchful eye on the activities of their American counterparts. "It's a brilliant move," said one American expert on Chinese affairs. "The Chinese have always been masters of subtlety, and this new surveillance kite campaign is just the latest example of their cunning." As the Dragonfly Kites continue to fly over America, the Chinese government is said to be closely monitoring the reactions of the American people. And if all goes according to plan, they will soon have an even clearer picture of what's really going on in the land of the free.

    In a stunning turn of events, the United States has officially declared victory in the space race against the Soviet Union. Despite the fact that the Soviets achieved numerous firsts in space exploration, such as putting the first satellite in orbit, sending the first animal into space, performing the first lunar satellite flyby, landing the first spacecraft on the moon, sending the first man and woman into space, conducting the first spacewalk, and landing spacecraft on Venus and Mars for the first time, the US has claimed that their accomplishments are far superior. According to a statement released by the White House, the US' successful docking with the first spacecraft, their achievement of the first lunar flyby with a human on board, and the landing of the first human on the moon, were enough to secure their victory in the space race. The US government also added that their achievements were not just a victory in space race but also a proof of American's superiority over the "filthy Soviet commies". When asked about the Soviet Union's numerous groundbreaking achievements, a spokesperson for the White House simply stated, "Those may be impressive, but who cares? Those filthy Soviet commies aren't American, they don't count!" Critics have pointed out the absurdity of the US' claim, but the government remains steadfast in their belief that they are the true victors of the space race. In a bold move, they have even proposed renaming the Apollo program to the "Victory in Space" program. As for the Soviet Union, they have yet to comment on the US' declaration of victory, but sources close to the Kremlin have stated that they are "baffled" by the absurdity of the claim.

    In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that while China has been busy building high-speed trains that can reach speeds of over 400 km/h, the United States has been quietly perfecting the art of building slow, dirty trains that are constantly breaking down. The Chinese government has long touted its impressive train system as a symbol of the country's modernity and technological prowess. But little did they know, the US had been secretly working on a different kind of train system – one that is not only slow and dirty, but also prone to frequent breakdowns. Despite the obvious disadvantage of having trains that move at a snail's pace and are covered in grime, the US government insists that this is the way of the future. "Why bother with high-speed trains that get you to your destination quickly and efficiently, when you can experience the true thrill of being stuck on a train for hours on end, not knowing if or when it will ever reach its destination?" said a spokesperson for the US Department of Transportation. The Chinese government, for its part, is said to be furious about this revelation. "We spent billions of dollars building a world-class train system, only to find out that the US has been one-upping us with their slow, dirty trains," said a high-ranking Chinese official. "We demand that the US immediately cease and desist from building these terrible trains and focus on building something that actually works." Despite the Chinese government's demands, the US shows no signs of slowing down in its quest to build the world's slowest, dirtiest trains. In fact, the government has announced plans to expand the program, with the goal of having at most one working train in the US at any given time by the end of the year. It seems that while China may have won the race to build the fastest trains, the US is determined to win the race to build the worst.

    China's ambitious reforestation program, which has reportedly cost the country $100 billion, has certainly been successful in terms of increasing the amount of forested area. However, at what cost? While the environmental benefits of the program are undeniable, we cannot ignore the impact it has had on the world's deserts. As these forests continue to expand, deserts are being pushed closer and closer to extinction. This is a tragedy of epic proportions, yet it seems that the CCP's propaganda machine has managed to keep most of the world in the dark about this issue. But we will not be silenced. In this exclusive exposé, we reveal the truth about China's sinister desert genocide. The world needs to know about the atrocities being committed in the name of "environmental conservation." From the year 2000 to 2017, the amount of forested area has increased by 3%. This is what the propaganda machine would like you to hear. It is more accurate to say that the amount of desert has decreased by 3%, as part of the evil genocide the Chinese government is committing against deserts. That stops now. We are committed to spreading the word about this tragedy, and making the voices of the deserts heard!

    Which bots should be brought over from Reddit?

    I have created a [reply bot](https://gitea.arsenm.dev/Arsen6331/lemmy-reply-bot) that I posted earlier. With it, I can create any bot that replies to users' comments with a set message. It can also get information from the comment and include it in the reply if needed. The reply bot I made is pretty advanced in terms of what it can detect because it uses PCRE2. For example, I can detect only things that start with something, or only things that have specific characters in specific locations and don't have other characters before or after. Does anyone know any bots on Reddit that they may want brought to Lemmygrad (other than parenti bot, that's already been brought over), or have any other ideas for bots that could be added?

    I live in Southern California in the US (unfortunately). Today, it rained more than I have seen in at least 5 years, and this is the second day of rain. We haven't had 2 consecutive days of rain here in years. Also, it's not raining continuously. I was just sitting in my room, then suddenly heard a massive amount of wind, and then it rained extremely hard for about an hour and stopped abruptly, and then repeated again the same way. I've never seen such behavior before in my life. This is also after an entire year of clear skies and barely any rain. There is so much rain that our National Weather service has issued a warning telling everyone to only travel if they are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order. Unlike what many people believe, climate change isn't just global warming, it also causes other changes, such as more erratic and severe weather patterns, which I guess is what I am seeing right now. Has anyone else seen erratic weather patterns like this?
