- An athlete can outrun a sedentary person's bad diet, actually. It's all relative, of course, but the saying has exceptions.
- You're both saying the same thing. Seemingly dull people become interesting depending on the audience, particularly when the dullee actively interviews the duller.
- Yes, Marty's incredibly unprofessional attack on Gordon predates the latter's response by about about three years: https://old.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/gdg25y/doom_eternal_o...
- >Why does the chart stop at 2020.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
- >The 28-year-old sales representative is big on protein. “I found that if I prioritized protein and half-assed the rest of everything else, it gave me the body I wanted,” he said.
This is all that matters, though. If it works, it works, and for those who use it as a way to eat more candy, nothing will work.
- >The moderation is hyper partisan on all sides. Not just the left.
It is absolutely just the left. The right-leaning spaces, even /r/conservative, do not ban for "wrongthink" unless it is accompanied with obvious contempt or hostility. Conversely, you'll be banned from a number of subreddits simply for posting in /r/conservative or other labeled-right-leaning subreddits.
- I had a 2019 MacBook Pro until last year when my work issued me an M2. It's noticeably snappier and its battery life is far better than the 2019's was.
- We've been on Linear for a couple years now and like it a lot.
- I'm not sure there is a good means for buying over voice only, and I'd argue it's only possible to know now that users overwhelmingly prefer digitally handling the product (title, pictures, description, reviews) before making even repeat purchases. Similarly, I'm not sure Amazon could convert consumers to a tablet-based purchasing device like they envisioned Alexa; we all have smart phones and tablets already.
- I suspect I'm spot on, and you're taking personal offence for that reason.
- Agreed, though I think it's reasonable to say the overuse is somewhat nice as it allows you to quickly identify who suffers from it and ignore them.
- People try it to see if they can trust it. The answer is "no" for sure, but it's not surprising to see it happen repeatedly especially as vendors release so-called improved models.
- That you're relying on "if you can't find the difference you must be blind!" as an argument proves my point; it's an emotional argument, not a rational one, and there is no functional difference between the two.
- Power imbalance is an emotional response, not a rational one; there is no functional difference between the two.
- >The only thing I want for my kids besides them being happy, is that their happiness does not depend on the misery of other human beings.
Not a single sane person has ever suggested that success depends on the misery of other human beings.
- I don't understand the chord this opinion strikes. Unless you're letting your personal bias get in the way, there's not a distinct difference between the two.
- Agreed, and not sure why you're being downvoted for this.
- It would be excellent if it worked. Considering generative AI's current reputation, the skepticism is entirely warranted.
- It's not really a "get away with it" when you need more to afford the other increasing prices, though.
- Mostly agreed here. We love our EV...for short drives. For longer ones, we have an ICE minivan.
- For the same reason most people think Vader said "Luke, I am your father."
- >Yeah this is definitely one of those things that sounds good on paper but has unintended "consequences" shall we say.
Definitely Goodhart's Law in action.
- >it's a caste system
One required by federal policy. Companies are legally bound, or at least incentivized to not risk lawsuits, to degrading temporary staff so as to distinguish between regular employees and contractors.
- > It looks like they're just "asking nicely" at this point.
That's precisely what a cease and desist is: asking nicely, possibly with legal merit, possibly not.
- Poe's Law strikes again
- A company I worked for had the same problem. Messages were being dropped, and either no one on backend knew how or wanted to investigate. I was on the data team and we just had to deal with it.
- How can you avoid products that are unilaterally and unexpectedly changed in the future? The answer is you can't.
- >And I'd call them imbeciles, why you think that "the people like that exist" is argument for anything ?
I agree, I don't understand these sorts of arguments. While I suppose deference to anecdotal evidence has always been around it seems more and more prolific as of late, and more often than is used as justification for a baseless argument simply because others argue baselessly.
