I dont know why some people are assholes. You asked a beginner level question on a forum that allows, I’m assuming, beginners to ask questions. I hope this never happens to you again. Some of us enjoy working with sincere, curious beginners.

There are ways to talk to these condescending sarcastic assholes. But fuck them. I sorry they were hurtful and I hope you find people who want to go with you on your journey with you.

I read the headline as “Getting Nut Neutrality” and wondering if it was Novemember. I need like 20 more minutes of sleep.

I tend to be skeptical of the reactionary AI is always slop trend. I’m sympathetic to it because it’s a response to the hype machine that knows no prudence. But damn when you say

“Your next move: Build AI foundations. Our work with organisations confirms mounting evidence that isolated, tactical AI projects often don’t deliver measurable value. Tangible returns come from enterprise-scale deployment consistent with company business strategy.”

I read this as marketing. What’s the evidence you’ve been gathering? Why do you believe your projects are applicable to all companies? What happens if we invest and it doesn’t help like you say it will?

This is like saying the solution to your relationship troubles is having a baby. No… No this is not the solution. Make my smaller projects work and show return and then we talk larger commitments.

4th grade at a Christian school. My brother was getting into Metallica and so I was also getting into Metallica. Gave a friend a my brother’s copy of Kill 'Em All and that he could borrow it for three days.

My folks didn’t really care, but his mom raised hell over it. If you don’t know the album, look up it’s cover. Its got a bloody hammer in the center with Kill 'Em All st the bottom. She raised hell and I get called into a meeting with the principle and my folks.

I don’t remember what was said, but my dad wasn’t going to take any shit from them. I was there to learn and I was a good kid so they can fuck right off. Frankly, I don’t remember having any suspension or detention from it. What I do remember was them throwing out the cassette and knowing how pissed my brother would be. That was the real punishment.

The satanic panic was dumb. And I was lucky enough to not even know it was going on.

I’m currently in a non-Western country. Tiered pricing is the norm. They just aren’t interested in exploiting your data or tracking your behavior.

That makes sense. The use of violence here is to control the workers and the rest of society. It gets everyone back in line during a crisis reminding people that they have the power, not only to exploit them, but to also kill, imprison, and immiserate. Get in line and you’ll be better off. Work for us help get people in line and you’ll be better off than them.

How is the slave owner using a slave driver to whip slaves different from the slaves organizing and killing the slavers?

Have a clear and honest conversation with your wife. “She thinks it’s fine” is not enough. And know your concern and worries more clearly. For example, “The age gap is representative of an emotional maturity gap.”

And you might be right. But that doesn’t matter. She need to know for herself in her own way. And she needs to feel like she can trust you to not hold it against her if they do go “wrong”.

Either way, have an emotionally honest conversation with your wife.

Everything about this is so messed up that the incompetent, lazy cop is the least surprising part.

I think the problem is worse. People tell me I should hate Microsoft and should be complaining. I’m no fan, but its just part of my life. Its got issues, but rarely does it interupt the busyness of my life. I’m ambivalent about Microsoft. They are not very different from the vast majority of global corporations.

I’m going to say this clearly, this comment is not an invitation to tell me how I should hate Microsoft.

I’ve heard there can be a lot of bullying by well established nurses against new nurses.

Only if you blame these groups for not turning out for Harris. If you lay the responsibility at the feet of the Harris organization and the DNC at large for being out of touch of the needs of their coalition, then that’s not racist.

I assume there’s a historical reason why the entertainment industry

Yep. From what I’ve read it started out as “This studio made the film”. But then you got celebrities who were part of the studio. The studio used credits to engage the audience and remind them why they are there “Studio presents Movie starring Celebrity”.

Eventually other people behind the camera wanted acknowledgement so directors and producers got in. Writers and others who were unionized wanted to be included. And eventually it became to industry standard. So that’s now just how it’s done. It’s probably also easy proof that you worked on a project.

Is it important to note the person who drove the props? I don’t know. I don’t think it was a question they were asking when they decided the standard. It was in the contract, they were making credits anyways, it wasnt worth fighting over.

Genuinely excited to visit the homeland. Then I saw this today. A little less excited.

I will never forget Martian Law and doppelgangers.
