Patriarchy oppresses us all.

There are plenty of women who live like this now. It’s a cultural thing, not a timeline thing.
(Also high society women certainly didn’t make their own breakfasts… well, ever, but especially not hundreds of years ago)

This is a plot point in The Accidental Time Machine: goodreads.com/…/21608.The_Accidental_Time_Machine; the main character ::: spoiler spoiler jumps forward into the future a bunch of times, longer jumps each time, and hits a time where the human population is almost gone, and they’re like “yeah, the fucking time travelers keep showing up and bringing old diseases”:::

- Comment on Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record 2 months ago:
You didn’t read the article. These are images that appeared in the documentary and were not marked as generated. It was implied they were real photos.
- Comment on When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video? 2 months ago:
If they’re consistently looking down and to the right (for most apps) and not scanning/reading, they’re probably looking at their own video. I’ve certainly noticed it.
- Comment on When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video? 2 months ago:
Yep. Everybody does. Watch where their eyes are pointing, you can tell. I hide the window on apps that let me (or un-maximize the window and slide it off the screen a bit if I’m on one side).

- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 2 months ago:
They work better for podcasts than music. For music, they’re better than a phone speaker but worse than cheapo earbuds in terms of sound quality.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 2 months ago:
I have those exact ones and I love them; I use them for running and when I’m doing stuff around the house but still want to hear people getting my attention. I had a previous version that I also accidentally turned to Chinese but I just learned to recognize the different messages.

These people are saying “we finally created the utopia of Neuromancer.” And I look at them and I go, “I don’t think you read Neuromancer." –Cory Doctorow
- Comment on Fearing social media backlash, companies are using all kinds of euphemisms to avoid being straightforward about layoffs — ‘right-sized’, ‘org changes’, ‘simplified operating model’ 4 months ago:
I had a (wonderful) colleague who would call a big fuck up an “opportunity for excellence”.
- Comment on Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown 4 months ago:
Nah, flip thy around. What’s a random crackhead going to do with a stolen car? Vs an already-organized and knowledgeable business like a towing company who wants to add a lucrative side gig. That’s who’s doing catalytic converter theft, too.

- Comment on Fun 6 months ago:
We had one at camp too! It was fun and I don’t remember any injuries. That was the early '90s, though, child safety was more ‘eh’.
- Comment on Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time 6 months ago:
If we do, then they shouldn’t have picked a name that most people think does something it doesn’t.
- Comment on YouTube Video Recommendations Lead to More Extremist Content for Right-Leaning Users, Researchers Suggest 6 months ago:
They don’t do it to everyone. Some people get put in test groups that get ‘nice’ algorithms that don’t try to make you angry, so they can measure the effect on their revenue.
- Comment on YouTube Video Recommendations Lead to More Extremist Content for Right-Leaning Users, Researchers Suggest 6 months ago:
You might be in a different test group. They always have a few different groups with different settings to check how well the algorithm is meeting their goals. That’s how they know they make less money if they don’t radicalize people.

Haha wow, that’s a horrible mental picture.

The only rated R movie we were allowed to watch was Demolition Man, which we had a tape of, so we watched it enough times for me to have fond feelings for Stallone.
