- Comment on AI will shrink Amazon's workforce in the coming years, CEO Jassy says 3 hours ago:
How is AI supposed to throw the wrong item in a box that is far too large without any packing material?
I mean, that is what it would do if it had a physical form, but it doesn’t.

In addition to the condensation, I have also used coasters for under hot drinks like coffee as they can discolor or even deform some surfaces.
If all you drink is room temp liquids you don’t need coasters.
- Comment on Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats? 3 hours ago:
Bat shit is pretty toxic, and while individual poo is small, bat colonies are absolutely massive and the shit literally piles up as up to millions of bats poop in the same place night after night.

Since most people don’t expect thumbnails to change based on date that approach was bound to cause confusion.
- Comment on Why can computers, like even very old laptops can seemingly get OS updates forever, while mobile devices hardly get a few years of updates before getting stuck out of date? 2 days ago:
Microsoft makes money supporting their OS on older hardware for businesses. That has gone on long enough they have to continue, and they might as well share it with everyone else.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 2 days ago:
I don’t think this is going anywhere because you seem to think anyone can spot whether someone is black at a glance.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 2 days ago:
There are actually a lot of people who meet the social definition of black but are white passing by being right skinned enough and they choose not to identify as black to avoid the racism.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 2 days ago:
I’m thinking of a situation where someone can easily pass as either race depending on context and they might change their identity based on finding out new information. Not altering their skin color or even their behavior necessarily, just how they identify.
Also, in the US race for the census and other federal data collection is based on self-identification and has been for well over a decade. A lot of people with mixed ancestry often choose one as the race they identify with based on social perceptions, like choosing to identify as black despite having a white parent where they could be both white and black because of social pressures. Or their parent raises them to identify as white because they don’t want their kid to suffer from racial oppression .
That just seems comparable as something that is imposed on someone, isn’t always accurate, has social pressure to go with first impressions, and a negative response to someone choosing how they want to identify.
Note: This does not include Rachel Dolzal (sp) who changed the color of her skin, that was definitely someone who was pretending using blackface.
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 2 days ago:
For me, some spices that involve oils or the seeds can give my gut a punch. For example, I like jalapeños for flavor, but too much and my gut doesn’t like it. Hotter peppers use less of the pepper for spice, so they don’t crank up the digestion. Some other spices don’t have any effect whatsoever, like dried red pepper can make my mouth burn but never upset the stomach.
I think most of it is what your body is used to, as eating more hot stuff makes it a lot less likely for my stomach to revolt about the jalepenos. But if I take a month off I’m rolling the dice.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 2 days ago:
I am not saying they are equal, but I don’t understand the difference since gender and race are both social constructs that start with physical differences.
- Comment on How would I pop a bag of popcorn on the microwave? 2 days ago:
A little bit of cooking oil to transfer the heat to the kernels without burning them is needed. Look up stovetop popcorn for more detail on how much to use.
I have also used the plate method, make sure it is large enough to hang off the side and it does get hot so use an oven mitt or something to get it off.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
It is both overreacting and a valid feeling. If you were not wanting to drive before tue accident, then the accident escalating the feeling is a valid response. People not wanting to drive is not that uncommon! I love to drive but my daughter resisted learning for the longest time and is only learning now because it is a necessary skill to have in this country if you want to visit 95% of it because of how transportation is structured.
Your father is also right that an accident is not uncommon and assuming it was low speed it shouldn’t keep you from continuing to try, although sentiment requires wanting to drive.
You can live your life relying on others to drive you around, although that approach is limiting. Keeping up the ability and confidence to continue driving in case you need to might be an important skill where you live, and that would be the only reason I would encourage you to keep at it. If public transportation, biking, or walking are feasible for most of your travel needs then not driving is a reasonable choice!

The Grimace face alone is pure slop. It is also an old joke being recycled through AI. I like the homemade feel of something made in ms paint like the image below looks over plastic looking AI crap.

When I did a search by user in settings after MrKaplan’s reply I saw they were listed twice with the same instance/name. Added the second one too and now there are two Blocked entries and all comments blocked.
- Comment on There is a user that shows up even though they are blocked. 5 days ago:
Yeah, I know. This was a case of a single user who was blocked, but showing posts external to lemmy.world (my instance) but successfully blocking on the home instance. MrKaplan looked into it and there was a sync issue with their instance and the user had duplicate records at lemmy.world so I had to block both.
- Comment on There is a user that shows up even though they are blocked. 5 days ago:
Looks like it was about 10 months ago based on this user’s most recent time stamp on their profile comments in lemmy.world.

I can see all of their comment on the post, there are at least four or five. I wasn’t paying attention to whether those specific comments were in their profile though.
