Because they make the decision while on the meds and theoretically of sound mind. If you prior to that accident signed a DNR, and they knew about it, they wouldn’t perform certain measures that they otherwise would.

That didn’t work. I got

computer: Command not found

You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?

You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

Implying he only makes executive orders about things he has a say in.

Ah yeah, I was misunderstanding.

I think I might be misunderstanding. If he felt he wasn’t smart enough to get anything out of college, isn’t it better that he not go? Like it seems more spoiled to go to college without the expectation you’d get the degree. You’re taking a spot from someone who thinks they’ll graduate, wasting your parents’ money, and delaying becoming a self sufficient adult for no pay off.

Yeah, I think the premise is actually “What did people say 20 years ago that they don’t now.”

The 1% Arabic and 6% English weren’t global speakers but Afghani speakers.

Because small children absolutely adore it.

It would be pretty crappy to never give a description of a painting to a blind person though. Like could you imagine if we never described the Mona Lisa to a blind person and they just to guess what it was a picture of.

If the change is a new untracked file

Wasn’t the issue that it deleted a bunch of preexisting untracked files? So old untracked files.

Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine

Because we don’t enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It’s people who don’t want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don’t want to but still get it done, even if it’s not as good. Using tools like this is very human.

If I’m giving off the wrong vibe, I’d like to know so I can correct it.

Even if you’re not ghosted, you’re very unlikely to get this information. Usually it’s just that they’re not interested and not the why behind it. And begging for the why is typically not productive. The only thing not ghosting gets you is knowing it’s a deliberate choice and not that they, like, broke their phone for weeks or fell into a coma or something else unlikely that prevented them talking to you.

I can’t imagine doing it as a parent. My kids drowning is a pretty big, realistic fear. Maybe for a teenager? Even then though…

That’s not who you voted for but that you voted in the election.

Or the result of cost cutting…

It’s crazy how different people are. The idea of sitting through a video to do something like this is so painful to me. Like I find it useful for physical things where seeing the motion can be helpful, but I still generally find doing things that way awful. Please, please, please just give me written instructions for things. Especially if I’m going to need to refer back to it a few times (e.g. there are multiple steps that take a bit of time).

Do VPNs make that feature kind of pointless? We can’t access most things from home without going through a VPN. Every where I’ve worked (and gone to school) was like that.

Does your RSVP have options for remote vs in person? My options are “accept”, “decline”, and “tentative.” If I want to tell someone I’m remote that day, it needs to be a separate message.
