To be fair it’s still AI, If I remember correctly what I learned from uni LLM are in the category what we call expert systems. We could call them that way, then again LLM did not exist back then, and most of the public does not know all this techno mumbo-jumbo words. So here we are AI it is.

Chipped off about a mm² of one of my front upper teeth while trying to eat my food fast and opening and closing my mouth fast. I did it faster than I pulled the fork out of my mouth and my teeth hit the fork…

I also was jumping on the couch and I fell on a table hitting my face between my eyebrows and now I have a scar there…

Had an earing, one day it got caught on a net and ripped out with the stopper.

Never again.

It doesn’t really bother me anymore physically, but I have a scar that has acted as a reminder not to do stupid shit. When I was a teenager, we had a broken mirror outside. I thought, it’s already broken, who cares if I break it more? So I smashed it with a hammer, with no gloves or anything. Sliced open my finger. It’s the index finger on my dominant hand, on the back side of it, so it’s very easy for me to see. Seeing that scar may have saved me from doing other dumb shit.

helmet91, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

I can’t imagine stopping to work. If I retire, I’ll have no money. I cannot count on pension either.

But I have an IT job, it’s just sitting in front of the computer all day; it’s not like a physical job I wouldn’t be able to do at old age.

RiderExMachina, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

Times are tough, but here’s what’s worked for me so far:

  1. Spend less than you make
  2. Keep a budget
  3. Keep debts to a minimum
  4. If you live with your parents, try to save as much as you can
  5. Have an end goal

Depending on your circumstances, you might only have to work for 20 years, and if you do what you love, it won’t feel like work.

Pofski, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

A pivotal piece of advice once shifted my perspective on work. It was put simply: ‘If the thought of retirement is your main motivation, you might be in the wrong job.’ This implies that if you’re constantly counting down the years to retirement, you’re essentially wishing for time to fly by quicker. But those years are valuable, and letting them slip away in anticipation of something else isn’t worth it. The key is to find a career that reduces your stress and enhances your life now, not just in the future. While financial security is undeniably important, it’s also crucial to recognize when you have enough and to prioritize your well-being and happiness in the present.

neidu2, in What stupid injury left a long lasting impact on you?

When I still did karate we had these boards that were meant for kicking so they’d split. A training buddy and I were curious if they could be punched apart. I learned two things that day:

  • Yes
  • Knuckles don’t like that

While it wasn’t very painful at firat, beyond what I expected, it took me a few days to realize that the pain didn’t really go away. Then I happened to bump my fist/knuckles into this aluminium plate at work by accident, and it felt like my knuckles were hit with a hammer. And I didn’t even bump into it hard. This time the pain slowly went away over time until it one day was conpletely gone.

But to this day, 10 years later, f i accidentally bang my knuckles against something hard I notice very quickly that something isn’t quite how it should be.

gerryflap, in What are you drinking tonight, and is it what you really want to be drinking?
@gerryflap@feddit.nl avatar

Water. And I like water, so no issue there. I don’t regularly drink alcohol on a weekday, and any soda or other garbage is banned entirely from my house

Prking, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?
@Prking@lemmy.world avatar

The answer is: do a job you like and do the things you like. I’m due to retire in ten years and won’t be doing so. I won’t work as much but I will work

It’s easier in some countries than others. But the key is not wasting time on things that you feel pressured to do because of societal norms or because you’re too lazy to do anything different.

I came off my bike as a teenager and broke my funny bone! So it sticks out now and is easier to bump, and the weird tingly pain it causes if so much worse!

Son_of_dad, in What stupid injury left a long lasting impact on you?

I was pretending to be a monster and started chasing my toddler around the apartment as she giggled. She ran into a room and as I ran after her, I stubbed my toes on the door frame. Instant break of the two outer toes, hurt like hell and had to go to the hospital. That was a decade ago and during fall and winter, I still get a lot of throbbing, dull pain on my toes.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I considered myself a person who didn’t get random injuries. When I had kids, I got bruised up a lot from chasing them around and rough housing. Definitely have a funny pain in my right arm that hasn’t gone away.

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah I’m doing whatever I want as long as there’s still some life left in this body. Opted for a career that gets me to live all over the world, decided very early on that I’ll never have kids, and live my life to the fullest.

Accidentally I’m also really good at what I do and got people pay me big time to live where I want to be. About to move to my 10th country on the third continent.

TheBananaKing, in What stupid injury left a long lasting impact on you?

I went jogging on slightly damp asphalt with my then-7yo.

I tripped on nothing and dislocated the living fuck out of my ankle, to the point that the paramedic insisted on sitting up by my head in the ambulance so she didn’t have to look at it - it was indeed extremely cursed.

They said that I escaped major reconstructive surgery by grams and millimetres, but the ligament went to hell and my ankle is now only held together with chewing gum and hope.

Running more than for the bus is off the cards for the rest of my life - however I’m otherwise fine, and I go hiking at every opportunity.

I tried to stand on the very tip of my toes about a decade ago, since then I get these horrible toe cramps every time I move my toes a little too much.
