  • Also the shareholders are robots, since it turns out they are much better at stock trading than people.

  • The good news is that kids will have plenty of employment opportunity when AI takes over, you need tiny hands to clean between those server racks.

  • Similar to how Virgil's Aeneid is just "the story of Aeneas" and Homer's Iliad is "the story of Ilion" (Ilion being the Greek name of Troy).

  • Make it third. I'm currently earning what I thought would be my life goal.

    I can't even afford to move out of my two-room apartment.

  • And they're based in a blue state, so if they were to declare a recession, the Trump admin would just discredit them as fake news and "radical left" propaganda.

  • Yeah, call it cheesy or too on-the-nose, but I think I would have preferred just having an explicit glimpse of someone about to shoot Tony. Can still do the cut to black, but there's a split second of someone drawing a gun before it happens.

    The viewers are not Tony Soprano, so it just seems weird to limit it to his perspective and obscure events to only what he would be aware of in that moment. It's just that you have an entire series where viewers can see all of the moving parts that most characters are oblivious to, except for the very last one apparently.

  • I'm assuming the others are supposed to represent other marginalized groups.

    Brown for people of color, pink for women, though your guess is as good as mine on the purple.

    The idea of intersectionality is that it is not feasible to try to uplift one marginalized group to the exclusion of others, so it's basically saying "we have each other's backs regardless of race/gender/sexuality/whatever purple is."

    Would not surprise me if this was an AI generated shirt though, or at least a ripoff of an original design someone else made, because I've seen this same sort of design everywhere.

  • Plenty of options, but you'll be hard-pressed to target something specific without both skills and money.

    The easiest option available to many Americans is to see if you can prove ancestry from a country with jus sanguinis citizenship that you have a direct link to. Some countries need it to be within a generation or two, other countries don't have a specific cutoff point. But anticipate a long, bureaucratic process and costs to have documents translated.

    The other easiest option is to marry a citizen of another country and move there together. But good luck with that.

    But if either of those aren't options, you're going to have a hard time if you don't have a college degree and don't have experience working in a desired field.

  • From what I've heard and read in the past, in addition to other comments here, there are probably two additional reasons why surgeries aren't commonly recorded:

    1. Patients probably wouldn't like knowing how casual a lot of operating rooms are. While you're unconscious, they're often playing music in the background and having idle gossip.
    2. Surgeons don't want an additional element of stress caused by recording and additional regulation that would likely accompany that during situations that are already stressful.
  • Is -やさい just a cheeky pun off of -なさい?

  • The Play Store is honestly full of malware, be careful.

    It makes it even more of an insult that Google wants to mandate a registry of approved developer accounts in the name of "security" when they can't even guarantee the security of their own store.

  • I used a MacBook for 10 years that was one of the first models to come without a disc drive, it was a 2013 model.

    I recall it being a bit ahead of the curve at the time, but it was a pretty fast curve before you really couldn't find a laptop with a disc drive anymore.

  • Can I see the bench?

  • It's like a scone but softer and airier. It's a common breakfast staple for sandwiches and eggs benedict and the like. Or sometimes just toasted and eaten with butter or jam.

  • Some rice cookers have an extended "keep warm" setting where the temperature remains high enough to prevent the growth of bacteria, allowing you to start a batch in the morning and use it all day or even the next day if needed.

  • 4 days at 10 hours with 3 days off is the way, as long as work-life balance is respected by the job. That would definitely go a long way towards both aligning schedules and giving enough time to address other needs with some leftover for personal care and maintaining social connections.

    Not to say I don't appreciate finally having a full-time gig that at least gives me weekends off, which I desperately needed after years of irregular part-time work that made it impossible to plan my life more than two weeks out and never seemed to align my days off with other people. But I already essentially work 7:00-17:00 Monday through Friday (and of course that extra time over 40 hours isn't paid). The 10 hour days aren't a problem for me, but I would really like to have an extra day off in compensation for that.

  • Some friends I see more often than others, just by virtue of schedules coinciding a bit more conveniently. I try to see someone in person once a week or so. Usually we can get larger groups together for occasions like birthdays and holidays.

    Some friends moved too far away to see regularly, but we still keep in touch online, sometimes with video games. I count this separately from the "once a week" statistic above.

    There are a small number of former friends (I don't even want to say former because I still like them, even though I haven't seen or heard from them in years) who just drifted apart due to differences in interests or just being too caught up in their own priorities to make time (getting married, having kids, juggling multiple jobs, etc.), but the majority of my friend group with kids still make effort to spend time together, and we never mind the kiddos being part of the social fabric either, so as not to make it feel like the kids are any sort of barrier to hanging out.

  • And then you fuck right?

  • Nope, I made it up while bored out of my mind at work and trying to think of random scenarios just as thought experiments. This one seemed good enough to share, but I'm not a good judge of what people are into, I can remove it if it's shit.
