• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the world more volatile now or is it just the abundance of news?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna go with more volatile. Climate change is getting to the point where it’s harder and harder to ignore. The consequences are very scary and not at all pleasant to think about. As a result, people are angrier and more frightened. Personally, I expect bigger, crazier bullshit.

  When major costal cities start getting flooded, people will lose their fucking minds.

  If they do, then fuck ‘em. If they don’t, I’m pretty sure we can find some common ground.

  When the vape gets me high, it seems like a fair trade off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Having to sell your shop to someone else and then work for them must suck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck tipping, regardless of the country.

  Agreed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I see your point, but a change like that would require major legal changes, which would take years. In the meantime, I don’t want to screw people who rely on tips to live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow… are you saying tipping sucks? I didn’t know that! Thank you for providing such an original response instead of a useful answer!

  Personally, I’m pretty sure society is going to collapse (or at least begin to) within our lifetimes. Having strong knowledge of a practical skill will be priceless. Trade school is the way to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfect Rating ⭐/5⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t stand movie critics who judge a film based on what they think a movie should be doing, instead of what it’s trying to do.

  For example, a dumb action/superhero movie should be exciting, fast paced, and have some humor thrown in. Anything else is a bonus. Evaluate it on that basis. Don’t give it half a star because it’s not Citizen Kane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do pedophile/ephebophile s have a tendency to seek out friendships or romantic relationships with young adults as well as with minors?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also forgive the use of "ephebophile," I'm not using it in an apologist sense but because - when formulating my question - I was more thinking about people attracted to teenagers.

  Thank you for clarifying. I’ve only ever seen this term used by people who seem obsessed with explaining the difference between “ephebophile” and “pedophile”. It’s gotten so bad that simply seeing the word makes me uncomfortable.

  I deserve to be on the list, but I’m not, either. I feel you, Sandy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A $40,000-per-Year AI School With No Teachers Is Opening in Oklahoma This August⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At one Alpha workshop in San Francisco, the school sent middle school students to a Starbucks with preloaded cards, Wendy Vassiliou, whose son will start at the Tulsa location come August, said. Unbeknownst to the students, their guide had zeroed the account balance for at least one student, meaning their card was rejected at the checkout. The lesson aimed to teach students how to handle disappointment.

  This is just cruel. Life is full of disappointments anyway; there’s no need to create more by tricking kids.

  Alpha warns applicants that the school isn’t equipped to meet the needs of students requiring intensive behavioral, therapeutic, or one-to-one academic support. Applicants are asked to disclose any Individualized Education Program, 504 plan, or behavior or learning plan or risk being withdrawn.

  Apparently “withdrawn” is the new word for “discriminated against”. Will this prevent them from receiving public funds?

  Fortunately, kids who need specialized help will be taught by actual humans.

  Thanks. Not replacing him was an odd choice, though.

  People who equate criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism are some of the most infuriating people around. I don’t even argue with them, as they’ve clearly abandoned reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is leadership valued so much over expertise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The people doing (or ordering) the hiring don’t want to be bothered with “low level” problems, so they want leaders that can deal with them. That’s why middle management exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s safe to say that AI hate is indeed popular irl, we just don’t have conversations about it.

  Personally, I think AI may have potential (hey, I’m a sci-fi fan), but we are going about it in the least honest, ethical, and sustainable way possible. I DO NOT want the current generation of AI “entrepreneurs” to have ANY influence over real AI, if we ever even develop it at all.

  I hope that Bezos and the like are remembered like those carnival hucksters who built absurd flying contraptions that didn’t work. When the Wright brothers came along, everyone promptly forgot their names.

  I’m an older American, and in some ways a product of my times. Many of us were heavily influenced to find women’s armpit hair unattractive. I know, and respect, that others feel differently. Hence, “just my own personal opinion”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robbed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just my own personal opinion: there’s such a thing as too much authenticity.
