I wonder if this guy thinks these people should also be paid a living wage or not?

That retort does not work in this context.

I now use the “Likes AI Test” to measure IQ. The premise is that AI can only be average because it consumes everything on the internet indiscriminately. So, people with greater than average critical thinking and knowledge hate AI because its dumber than them and useless. Conversely, people with less than average critical think and knowledge love AI because it seems smarter than them. So if we measure someones like or dislike of AI we can infer the general range of their IQ.
Given this above test, this means my boss is a fucking idiot and gets paid a lot of money to be an idiot.

I am going to stake my reputation on this, that image is not AI generated. AI images struggle to get wording and spelling right. Also the colors are mutated like the photo was taken in shitty florescent lighting, AI images tend to be cleaner.

Giving up is not a counter argument.
You form a business and you get client. If you have no money you form a business you can start with no money.
Stop saying it can’t be done. Stop giving up.

This question comes off as very self defeating. It kind of reads as “I don’t have money so I have to be a wage slave”. I don’t really want to engage with it because its so defeatist.
You are right, financing is a problem. It is a problem that you have to solve for when you create a business plan. Or, you can throw up your hand and keep working for someone else and making that someone else money.

- Comment on The campaign against predatory in-game practices takes a step forward in Brazil, as President Lula bans loot boxes targeted at under-18s 3 weeks ago:
Loot boxes are a form of gambling and should be regulated as such. And for that matter I would argue that packs of magic cards are the same thing.

My last employer did not, life was so much better after the policy change. Although my director lost track of how long he had worked there because he stopped incrementing his password every three months.
- Comment on The inner fire of my hatred COULD melt steam beams 4 weeks ago:
That’s because they only read 800-63B and skip the other three documents.

As of 2023, a 16 character password with just lower case letters could be cracked in about 713 years and the average employee stays with a company for about 3.9 years. I really think we are making people work to hard to make good enough passwords and that is how we get people making shitty passwords. And then we ask them to repeat this process every three months, and because getting a password reset is a pain in the ass they right “FuckTh15Pl@ce” on a sticky note under there keyboard (I found that one under a VP’s keyboard).
If we were doing passwords right it would be 12 characters, three character types, last until you leave the company or there is an incident. Also, by not requiring people to change the password every so often it one less thing for the IT Auditor to crab about.

Currently, in the US there are States were you can get an abortion and States were you cant. So, if you have an unplanned pregnancy you are kind of fucked.

Some people find themselves in places where they lack the choice to limit themselves to two children when an accident happens. Not everyone has the resources to travel to a place where they would be able to make a choice.
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 1 month ago:
I don’t think children should suffer regardless of who their parents voted for, I find your callousness as bad as bad as those that voted for Trump.
- Comment on Always have a good password 1 month ago:
yes, but you need the mac of a device on the network. These means you need access to the the router to see the approved mac addresses or you need access to a physical device already on the network. So, something like a wifi enabled security camera could be a risk for anyone securing their network this way.

A friend of mine has three kids and works 70 hours a week. He is not able to make enough to support his family, and social services have been cut so much that his only option is to take out a personal loan, which will only make his problem worse.

Mario 3 Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Minecraft Portal The original DOTA that was built on Warcraft 3 World of Warcraft
I choose these games not because they are good but because they had massive impacts on video games. Except for Mario 3, that ones just the GOAT.

I got bad news for this guy, his employer is only going to pay for excel and his coworker only knows how to use excel so he better learn to use excel. Also people do a lot of things in excel that have no business being done in excel.
