  • Negatively: Almost any clothing with more than a couple words of text.

    Clothing with a prominent brand.

    Clothing with right-wing political connotations.

    Dyed blonde hair or hair dyed brown/black that should, obviously, be gray.

    Tramp stamps. Japanese writing tattoos on non-Japanese. Face tattoos. Neck tattoos. Tattoos of pop culture themes.

    Expensive cars. Dodge pickup-trucks. Harley Davidson motorcycles. Dodge Chargers. Teslas.

    Police officers.

    Positively: Normal clothing. Well-dressed but obviously not expensive clothing. ‘Funky’ style clothing. Clothing that would just look stupid on me.

    Wildly dyed hair. Subtlety dyed hair that isn’t covering something up.

    Tattoos that are, at least, fairly unique.

    Glasses. (I don’t know, I’m prejudiced for people with glasses.)

    Old women.

    I could probably come up with a lot more. We’re all prejudiced in some way. It’s the things that we’re prejudiced about and how attached we are to those prejudices that define us.



  • Have you seen the quality of the comments and posts? It’s mostly pointless garbage spewing—yes, myself included. I’m convinced that part of the reason LLMs can be so bad at times is that they are fed on random peoples’ boredom and doom posting.

    Sure, there’s some quality posts occasionally. Sometimes people have interesting, worthwhile discussions. But, like Reddit before it, most of the posting is memes, snark and venting. It’s not good content on average. If LLMs are training on barely-moderated forums, they are not getting a good education.










  • Depends on the material. I wouldn’t use that on hardwood floors, for example.

    Most of the work is mechanical. Soap/alkalis help with grease/oils by making them mix in water. Dirt particles will stick to oils and go along. Acids will break up minerals, kill fungus/mildew and deodorize.

    • Dirty, greasy areas: alkalis
    • Mineral deposits, areas that have biofilms, mold, mildew: acids

    All purpose: a little of both

    Thrown a couple drops of Dawn* in your mix for an all purpose cleaner. Just be careful where you use it. Leave out the acids for more delicate surfaces.

    *I don’t mean to push certain brands but Dawn is cheap and good at what it does.
