I don’t agree. Yes, every work of art is open to interpretation, but that interpretation has to be informed by the art. There has to be supporting evidence and you have to consume the art holistically. You can’t, for insurance, conclude tha

If you’re arguing that there are different ways of being better than your argument falls even further apart since you might choose a worse option because it is better in some way…

That’s a massive leap. Recognizing a fact about those things does not equate to being ready to ban those things. The same is true of drugs!

The original poster said “more useful”, not “better”, so you’re already arguing something different than what was said. I might spend more time with something less useful because its time efficiency is one of the things that makes it less

We usually ended it there, but I vaguely recall a version where Batman slips on it (the pee) and breaks his balls; I don't recall the actual verse though.

We were singing this before the The Simpsons, so I wonder if it was the show that made it international or it already was that way.

I can’t (due to other priorities) give consistent time to a project unless it is very important. That lack of consistency means I have to spend time re-learning what I was thinking and doing which is both inefficient and not fun. Since the

In the 90s I was tasked with fixing our CEOs computer and entered his office to see the largest CRT I’ve ever seen in my life. (It was not a PVM-4300, though. This one was sat on a metal table.) The size of it was shocking. I was more shock

I think I’ve misunderstood you then? If you desire to not be seen as an extremist… isn’t being seen as an extremist… not desirable, regardless of who see you that way?

No one in my real life would consider me anything other than kind, giving, and rational. I share things with them I wouldn’t say online. Even Kyburz admits to self censoring . That doesn’t mean I’m an extremist or even wrong . To some I’m

I agree with your last paragraph but “real names” isn’t a solution. Instagram comments are filled with people saying awful, stupid things using their real names, faces, and enough information to find their locations. Additionally I’d say th

You said something fairly egregious on a public forum and are getting pretty polite responses. You definitely do not get it because you’re still trying to justify the behavior. Just consider that you will make mistakes. If you make a mist

I don’t think you even know what you’re arguing about anymore. You claimed that what the author wrote wasn’t what the author thinks. As evidence you provided weak arguments about other parts of it being AI written and made an appeal to your

You’re pointlessly derailing a conversation with a claim you can’t support that isn’t relevant even if true. Regardless of whether AI wrote that line he published it and we can safely assume it is what he thinks.

This isn’t what Amazon has done at least here on the Peninsula. My WF orders come from Brisbane just like my overnight shipping and Amazon Fresh orders do. Before that they were coming from San Jose, possibly from a WF there but there are c

For my side gig I need to quickly take multiple pictures (with my iphone) of subjects that aren’t still or cooperative. This used to work fine. Now the camera just quits with no crash or notice so I think I’m taking pictures but I’m not. C

In fairness to the GP, the OP has now admitted that they made the post without having watched the video and that they did so out of prejudice against YouTube videos. GP wasn’t objecting to the additional resource but the implication via “Wi

I’m not certain about that, but it’s all very abstract to people. It is also tied to their phones for most people which they’d never give up anyway. The more direct connection on something they don’t (yet) value as much as they value their

For me it is about incentives. I have no reason to provide free labor to a business because I have no reason to believe they’ll pass on the labor savings. I’m also well aware that businesses will save money if they can. If people are all go
