This is so accurate. And, I had “friends” back in high school, who were very much into meth and very much into sharing.

But every single big meeting at work, is just about AI. it’s just a sales pitch, nothing specific. One of the senior managers emails multiple times a week about fake “wins” due to AI. How, because of AI, some random API is now 4x better! (He doesn’t know what API is…) When I teams opens up, it’s just “AI Bootcamps” plastered everywhere. The intranet homepage, 3 of the 5 things on the carousel is just AI. Multiple “demo days” have just been people showing how they’ve been fucking around in AI and not doing work.

Someone in mgmt, has made it a goal for more AI usage. Put teams on blast who weren’t “using it enough”. Fake metrics of how much good code it’s generated (with no actual examples of course). And yeah, now they’re tracking usage to ensure we get enough AI “touches” a month. They’re monitoring our badge-in (due to RTO) and now they’re monitoring AI adoption and usage.

But just ignore the massive outsourcing to India/SEA… no need to worry about that.

I’d say probably. But would be very sad in how little we ride bike now (used to be all the time, year round, rain, snow, or sunshine). But we’re not yelled at every single day! Got a good job that even teenager me would think is cool.

This looks like the same person at different ages to me. Like give a little leeway for like makeup department, lighting, and camera.

The first seems reasonable, until the reasoning is given, which reveals the whole message is batshit

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Like, expressing yourself to someone you’re dating, like “This made me uncomfortable,” generally should be ok. This proved to be the exception.

someone getting upset at being told they are lucky to be with the person they are with is kinda full of themselves and reading way too much into it

Well, what if the bartender was being a piece of shit, say someone who has cerebral palsy, saying they’re even lucky to be with someone… Would you still say that person is full of themselves? I think telling anyone they’re “lucky” to be with someone, from an outside perspective, is intentionally demeaning to one of the two people. Now, if someone in a relationship says they feel lucky to have found someone, that’s different. But clearly, it’s open to interpretation. And changes in context.

Little personal story to add, I dated a girl a while back, and ALL her friends and co-workers would say how lucky she was and how good I was for her. We all knew why, she was overweight and I wasn’t. They didn’t even just hint and maybe I read that wrong, they were BLUNT about it. I was doing home cooking for us instead of doing fast food. I worked out, did 5k races, I was in great shape. And I was exposing her to that life and she was noticeably losing weight. But the look on her face when people said “she was lucky”, was defeat.

My mom regularly got after me to make my bed. I never saw the point. I’m wasting my time to make it look neat… for no one, only for me to mess it up the following night. I didn’t see the point then, I don’t see the point now.

So my solution to not getting yelled at. I stopped sleeping under the covers. I just slept on top. For a while, she thought I was making my bed, but eventually I wore out a spot on the top of the comforter. That’s when she figured it out. Then she was made I wasn’t using the blankets for their intended use (to keep someone warm). I as a child, would rather freeze than make the damn bed.

People are way to fragile today I feel. When I was a kid, I watched this with my parents. It was perfectly fine then and it should be now.

Fucking christ, I was hoping this was a joke. Nope, fucking scalped soup on eBay. I hope scalpers stub the same toe every morning. Scalping is not a job, scalping is not part of the process, scalping just makes everything worse for everyone.

So you can buy a mini van/suv, BUT say you have a truck! Because beer beer, truck truck, girls in tight jeans

It’s a large number of family members. It sucks, because I grew up looking up to these people, only to lose respect because they believe whatever they see on Facebook.

First 2 sentenses are reasonable. But then… You get to everything else, and it just falls off a cliff. Assuming this is real, of course.

Water is not subjective? Interesting? So water will freeze exactly at 0 and boil at 100, and it won’t matter about say pressure? Or whats in the water, like say salt? And pretty sure I’ve seen videos and done it myself where you bring pure water below 0 and it doesn’t freeze. Suppose this video is just fake then? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nse-LUpVQu8

Seems water is a tad bit subjective. Like the rules for when it freezes and boils is… not exactly constant. I mean, they are, under ideal conditions on Earth. But… ya know, that sort of goes against the circlejerk…

I would say, someone who doesn’t look at the cost of flight/hotel/etc. and just does on a whim.

I love the movie visuals so much more. The woosh looks now detailed but it’s the vortex in the back that really sets it apart imo.

I could understand an 8 year old. But 18!

Well, maybe. Or they’d have the most developed 42 pack abs you’ve ever seen.

I mean, it would increase sales. But that’s because light saber. When I was a kid I would have pissed off so many women, because dumb kid + ‘lightsaber’ = pissed off adults

No, what they’re asking for is Copilot^Copilot

Not to be confused with Copilot, or Copilot+, or Copilot 365, or Copilot Pro, or Github Copilot, or Copilot Studio, or Security Copilot…

My city approved a monopoly because a business threatened not to come to the city if it had to compete. Truly, what was best for the community! Oh, and 3M dumps a lot of crap into the water because they don’t want to spend the money to properly filter it, wasn’t until a large grocery brand showed up and forced their hand that the city did ANYTHING about the terrible water. Just normal people who want to do whats best for their community…

If you feels so strongly about this, why don’t you run for city council?

Must be nice to have as much free time as you do to just take on additional responsibilities/roles in life. Or are you implying that if I’m not on the city council, I’m not allowed to have an opinion…? What exactly is your point and why are you taking it so personally?

Nope/10

I mean, that’s how it was originally sold. I think it was '95 and we were watching ‘CNN in the Classroom’ I think, and we saw something about how you could use the internet to see photos from some art museum. Basically, experience the museum without having to go there! My teacher was like, “Well, I think we have access to the internet, let’s try it out”. It was slow, but yeah, we got to see some stuff at like dial-up speeds. I remember when they talked about virtual shops and what that might look like (which was oftem more a virtual representation of the store than the grids we have today). Kids in my class back then were getting better grades simply because they had a proper printer, word processor, and information (probably Encarta 95 or something like it). My stuff was hand-written, or I used a typewriter, grammar and spelling mistakes everywhere, and I had to go to the public library (where I think they literally copy pasted some stuff and turned it in… it was the 90’s)
