Best movie, or best WW2 movie? Which is a better representation of the war? The experiences of the soldiers? Which has better art direction and writing and acting? Which one is a better reflection of the current zeitgeist?
I don’t have answers, I just feel like “better” has a lot of dimensions.
I think there wre both willing coconspirators and terrified bystanders unwilling to make a stand. The coconspirators belong in prison. I don’t have hope for them. I do wish the rest will locate their nerve and become better people, but I doubt it will happen.
This is yet another impeachable offense. Congress just needs to sack up.
I know this is a serious story, but that headline had me wondering when the war got to Walmart.
There are lots of reasons not to use ChatGPT (or any AI) but it’s silly to think the consumer subscribers cancelling their subscriptions will make a dent. The real money is in the enterprise contracts. They only have a paywall to set limits on the overhead.
I drove in Austria and Germany for work a few times. After a day or two, you pick up enough words on signs to understand “Entrance” and “Exit” and “One way”, but between the symbols and the English on everything, it is probably much easier for us to drive there than for a non-English speaker to drive here. I bet most immigrants learn “No turn on red” faster than “No Parking Enforced on Alternating Wednesdays and Saturdays except on Holidays from 6:00 PM to 12:45 AM”.
In any case, speaking English is not required of citizens. Tests were offered in Spanish because of a need for it. It’s not that they cannot learn to read a few signs, it’s that the written portion of the test needs to be clearly communicated. The ADA requires that illiterate adults be provided with an audio test or interpreter, because it’s more important for people to understand the test than it is for the government to bully immigrants to score political points with bigots.
Hey want to play a game? Your bank is gonna text you a number, and I’m going to guess it. Tell me if my guesses need to be higher or lower.
I think the most frustrating part of living in the modern world is that we can’t trust the news at all.
Climate change is real. It is man-made. It is causing extreme weather events. People are suffering and dying as a result of our lack of ecological regulations. These are newsworthy facts, alarming and important. This storm system is evidence to support those conclusions.
None of those are included in this article.
Instead, we get click-bait fear-mongering. We get hyperbolic dramatization. The author desperately wants you to read the article, but they don’t want you to learn anything. They want to be an authority on the situation, but they want to hedge their predictions because anything can happen (or not happen) and they don’t want to look foolish.
It’s like if you lived in an apartment building, and it was on fire, and instead of an alarm or instructions telling you to vacate or call the fire department, you get an advertisement for air freshener because the smoke might really smell bad, and you should panic buy at any price because stores will run out of air freshener because all your neighbors are going to want to be prepared. Warning, inconvenience approaches! Spend some money just in case things get bad.
Fair point. I’m just saying it could be published in Well, Obviously Monthly.
Was the methodology for the study “Step 1, open eyes. Step 2, look at reality as it exists. Step 3, Document results.”
I’m really fucking tired of cleaning up after people who told me I was overreacting.
They are goading protestors to try to instigate violence.
No, it’s a tragic case of fascism going as planned.
Hasn’t Trump demonstrated that contempt of congress has no consequences?
You should know that a lot of companies engage in performative hiring processes. They post jobs and accept applications to create the appearance that they are hiring. It could be to send a message to investors, or competitors, or current employees. If you find yourself in yet another round of group interviews with potential team mates, consider that maybe you’re the show and they are the audience. “Look what we could have instead of you. Look how eager people are to work here, younger, cheaper, more qualified. We are in control of this situation.”
Ah Jesus, Danny.
There are many ways in which apples and oranges can be compared in an analogy, even though they are very different.
Are you sure you understand what an analogy is?
The second fetus may have been terminally underdeveloped, and small enough to be delivered without realizing it was a second baby. They may have told her there was no second baby or that it was part of the afterbirth, or she may have misunderstood what they said.
Doctors have been known to lie to patients in the past, but the practice is not very common anymore in most cultures.
