I always wonder about that because you need a lot of people to function in an “end of the world scenario”. It just feels like the ones that are doing the real work are the ones with the power in that case.

I think that was the origins of it and can be celebrated that way.

However, I feel it has most certainly been hijacked by religion and capitalism since then in certain parts of the world.

I enjoy it due to having time off, so I’ll take that :P

I think they’re stupid too. Going into an interview is already stressful enough and these types of questions don’t put me into “problem solving” mode. They put me into “brain teaser” mode which is a different type of thinking for me. You know how we nailed these questions when I was in uni? We traded them after our interviews between each other and you just had to pretend you’ve never heard it before. So the main thing people were testing was whether or not the question had made it to them.

For programming, there are so many better ways to test out of the box thinking to me … I think the “what happens when you press a letter into a web browser address bar” or something is better and at least relevant. One that I like is, “there’s an outage in production, how would you go about diagnosing it?” Then as an interviewer I’d reshape the scenario and see where they put their focus and where they give up.

A few at work where we’ve met up afterwards.

Traveling abroad and saw a few people and we linked up and took pictures and shared WhatsApp contacts.

I met this girl at a wine tasting and after the first date she just wants to be friends, does that count?

I think even if you get Prime you still get ads unless you pay an extra monthly fee.

Obviously this varies but I found myself walking far more in Europe than in the US.

Also, some of the obesity I saw in the States I didn’t see anywhere else. It was wild.

Once again, all anecdotal.

Shows you the type of people that are on Lemmy.

“stop defending corporations”

It’s like we hate the corporation too but they’re correct in this instance.

Some people say you can buy the tokens instead of a monthly subscription. They’re not as openly offered as they get more cash from monthly obviously.

Ah yes, any time Trump is offended he calls people “nasty” and horrible people and all that shit. When he offends others, it’s a privilege …

Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.

I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.

They can’t afford to pay so many mods! You’re crazy! /s

Now, if you’ll excuse him … he’s buying a new yacht.

My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, “oh … I’m quite caught up on this stuff and I haven’t heard of this info. Where can I find this info?” The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they’re now diving into the “truth” now.

How many Philosopher Kings do we have here?

“Le Grill? What the hell is that?!”

City of God - movie about the struggles of growing up in a tough spot in Rio de Janeiro, it’s just great

Gattaca - my favourite sci fi film, it’s just a simple concept … what if we could tell who you were going to grow up to be, just from your blood

I’ll join you in the downvotes. There’s many reasons to hate YouTube. Asking them to pay for video content to everyone for free is a bit silly.

I’m also not saying you shouldn’t use alternatives or run an ad-blocker. Those are cool. I just find it funny how someone is saying: “I get some benefit in paying for this service” results in such backlash, lol.

I’m sure whoever is in charge into the government, who will have no interests in this, is going to definitely look into Tesla. /s

The CyberTruck too apparently, I think some rich person related to Mitch McConnell got trapped in it and drowned or something: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68622898

Just shout “no robo” and it’s fine.

I don’t know
