• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally say “o one” “o two” etc. all the way up to “o nine” After that it just seems weird to say “ten” or “eleven” instead of “twenty ten”

  Even referring to 1910 as “ten” seems weird and wrong, though. In my mind, it doesn’t make sense to leave the nineteen off until the 40s. For example, saying: “Back in forty-five” sounds right, but “Back in thirty-five” sounds wrong to me for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people say the AI bubble will burst, what exactly does that mean?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The big players will likely continue to develop this tech. “The Bubble” is more about the marketing and speculative investing in anything with “AI” tacked onto it. There’s no reality where everything AI is being ham fisted into is going to be successful. There will be some winners, but there will be a lot of losers when the bubble bursts.

  In the meantime, we have to put up with every company and product marketing that they now have “AI” in their product, whether it’s actually useful or different from it was before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨whatcha gonna watch?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the 6th grade. The girls are taken to the gym for a presentation about menstruation. Us boys are put in a room with this cart to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it possible to download Tiktok videos on mobile?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My friends screen record the video and send that because I refuse to click tiktok links. I still don’t watch them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Trump vote? Could he have?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I looked this up a while back. Felons in NY can vote as long as they aren’t currently incarcerated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨strange workplace, how should I proceed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally have no issue with swearing. I do it quite a lot. However I’ve got a pretty good filter for when it’s not appropriate, like around kids, or in many professional settings.

  From reading your other posts about this it seems you are a nurse and dropped an f bomb while checking on a patient’s wound care.

  To me, that seems like a pretty clear situation where it’s inappropriate to swear. It’s unprofessional and bad bedside manner from a medical professional. If I were a patient and heard my nurse drop an f bomb while working on me, I’d be quite alarmed.

  I suspect your fellow nurses are not mad at you because they are too sensitive about swearing, but rather they consider your outburst to have been unprofessional, and the fact that you refuse to acknowledge that, apologize, and promise to work on it in the future is what has them upset with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As many have mentioned the real reason is to suppress votes by making the experience miserable.

  The cover story for the rules is to prevent campaigns or other groups from “buying votes” by giving people in line food/water in exchange for a promise to vote for their candidate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the best search engine that looks similar to google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You should give Vivaldi a try for a customizable browser. It has tons of functional customization, perhaps less cosmetic stuff than GX though.

  As far as search engines go, I got nothing. I am fairly agnostic about them. If one isn’t giving me the desired results, I just try others.
