- Comment on It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines 1 day ago:
I doubt you could legally remotely operate your car on the streets. If an accident happens, do they blame the human driver or the tech in the car? Depending on how often the humans are intervening, you could make an argument that it eliminated local taxi jobs and outsourced them somewhere with cheaper labor.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 1 day ago:
Same with the argument of “we need to deport them to preserve our culture”. America has always been mix up of cultures and has a vastly different culture from state to state and city to city. New york wouldn’t have been the world renowned city it is if it didn’t have its diversity.

That bowl was a little big for me, I’ll just drain the milk back into the jug and put these soggy bits back in the box.

You also probably have better search and organization features with email. I don’t work in office settings so i really don’t email much.

How is an email that different from a text? aside from desktop acess I guess.

I bet some of their patterns would be so beautiful and mesmerizing that you just stand there admiring it until you get chomped up.
I am also having a great time picturing dinosaurs having wacky feather patterns, dances, and habits for mating. I collected you ferns and frilled my feathers please respond.

It may depend on your content and your target audience. I’d assume school kids have different peak times than most adults.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 2 weeks ago:
It was just starting out around that time, hence why it wasn’t much of a concern in my earlier semesters. Plus they had better in class controls for cheating like monitoring computers and in person exams instead of online. You would have got an instant fail if you got caught using AI or plagarism on your projects.

Not a bot. Both my internship interviews commented on me making the deans list.

It didn’t sit right with me. I made the deans list each semester before that for good grades. I wanted no speculation that my grades were influenced by AI in the next semester. In a competitive job market, making the deans list consistently could absolutely stand out among other candidates. It shows respect for deadlines and the education.

I decided not to finish my college program partially because of AI like chatgpt. My last 2 semesters would have been during the pandemic with an 8 month work term before. Covid ended up canceling the work term and would give me the credit anyway. The rest of the classes would all be online and mostly multiple choice quizs. There wasn’t a lot of AI scanning tech for academic submissions yet either. I felt if i continued, I’d be getting a worse product for the same price (online vs in class/lab), wont get that valuble work experience, and id be at a disadvantage if i didnt use AI in my work.
Luckily my program had a 2 year of 3 year option. The first 2 years of the 3 year is the same so i just took the 2 year cert and got out.

Yes i figured more of a comedy with horror elements
- Comment on Would you pick her up? 4 weeks ago:
A similar one would be a slasher constantly trying to catch her but people keep helping her out and getting slashed themselves, all while she remains oblivious and thinks its just bad luck.
- Comment on Do you have to deal with this during your morning commute? 4 weeks ago:
They may have an appointment early in the morning, a time slot that may be harder for a young person to fullfill. Maybe they have a scheudled event to be at, many of which start at the same time as business opening hours. Maybe they just want to get to the store when it opens, get their shopping done, and be able to enjoy the rest of the day at their own pace.

Have you considersd that they may still be working due to poor wages and a lack of social safety nets?

- Comment on We can play that game too 2 months ago:
As someone who works on private wells and water systems, its always baffling to me when someone with a “hunt camp” more luxurious than any house I’ll ever afford is complaining about the cost of our services. Like dude your “camp” is 2000 sqft and and 200 kms from the nearest city. Yea its gonna cost a bit to make your well water clean, clear, and safe to drink while running on a solar system.
They’ll even start to question my wage and why the bill costs so much (as if i have any say) completely tone death to the struggles of people outside their class. They imply if i was paid less their bill would be much cheaper despite me barely making enough to own my own tiny home and my wages really aren’t a major cost on the bill.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 2 months ago:
Canada was going to have the inequality anyway. The immigration is a scapegoat for the declining quality of life but many policy decisions outside of immigration were already impacting quality of life. The housing bubble and oligarchy/monopoly of major sectors (grocceries, telecommunications etc) are the main issues driving inequality in Canada.
Canada could support its ambitious immigration goals if it were willing to invest in the country to support them, such as extensive public transit overhauls and nationalizing essential services like rail, communications, and energy.

- Comment on Zero tolerance policies in schools and mandatory minimum sentences have the same arguments and issues 2 months ago:
Zero tolerance never made any sense to me. When I got bullied and beat up, I’d still get punished, so it basically encouraged me to be violent back since the punishments were the same. It also kinda went directly against all the anti bullying stuff the schools would be pushing for.
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 2 months ago:
From what I’ve heard, people farthest on the left of the scale can not only picture an object but rotate it too, often while remembering what the non visible sides would look like. The best example i can think to describe this is rotating a rubix cube without mixing up the patterns/colors.

Are you able to see your memories more like dreams or are your memories more like a vibe?
- Comment on In the future, there will be a sad scene of widow watching AI porn of their dead spouse 2 months ago:
Not just that. They’ll offer services where you can text and talk wuth them and they will mimic the decreased vocabulary, voice, and tone. All for a very reasonable, and predatory, subscription fee structure.
- Comment on We all do this 2 months ago:
For instrumental rock I like Nick Johnston’s work, IAH is also pretty good. Listened to a lot more artists when i was studying in college but have forgotten many of them.
Justin Johnson is an instrumental blues/country/rock guitarist with a pretty wide range of sounds.
For more classical style music I’ll often just find a playlist but the album that got me into that style was the Child of Light soundtrack by Couer de Pirate. Actually many video game soundtracks and artists are great instrumental music, work from Jeremy Soule is often relaxing and fantasy driven, Marty O’Donnell is known for his work on the Halo soundtracks and has some great instrumental/orchestral rock tracks.
- Comment on We all do this 2 months ago:
The music for me can vary, i find music without lyrics is easier to concentrate with. Stuff that sounds classical or instrumental rock/metal is what i tend to play for concentration
