- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 2 days ago:
Claude can spit out powershell scripts up to like, 400 or 500 lines without errors or with minimal, easily debugged errors. Adds things like error correction, colored text, user interaction, comments the code pretty well. Saves me hours every time I fire it up, so that I can in turn save myself dozens of hours with the scripts themselves.
But as far as I tell my boss, there is no AI use, and that’s how we’re keeping that for now/indefinitely

You got a dog? Still smoke?
- Comment on It is what it is 4 days ago:
That was actually their lawyer’s argument, that “incognito mode” being private was just something people assumed and ran with, not their fault.

- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 1 week ago:
I ordered a laptop from BB for an executive at work, they tried delivering it on a Saturday and texted me about it, offered to deliver elsewhere instead, so I’m like, sure bring it to my house. Then when they get there, it’s a third party delivery service (not Doordash but like it) - woman and her boyfriend - hat out looking for a tip. Umm I didn’t ASK for some weird tip-based delivery service, I thought they were UPSing that shit. I can’t put tips on my corporate card, for laptop delivery fees?! So I looked like the asshole after they booked it across town. Haven’t ordered from Best Buy again, what a terrible customer experience.
- Comment on Banned across multiple communities, posts deleted, for upsetting a mod 2 weeks ago:
I told them their “MEN DON’T POST HERE” posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject. I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn’t start communities or threads saying “NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE” to do it. And I pointed out their community has decided there are only two ways to deal with it.
I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn’t ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings.
And now I can’t use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn’t be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod’s feelings.

- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 2 weeks ago:
Yep food pantries will repackage food but rarely process or cook it because that’s a whole different animal.
But, many food pantries I’ve worked with had ways to offload large amounts of things creatively, it’s how I got the best pear gelato I’ve ever had in my life.

I’m gonna put two jars down, one that says DO and one that says DON’T, y’all can vote with dollar bills
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 2 weeks ago:
They will just disable the mute buttons. It happens around here all the time, marking them accelerates it.
I now avoid any gas station with immutable ads. But if I am in a pinch. The longest sharpest key on your key ring can slide right in and puncture the speaker, thus solving the issue more permanently.

- Comment on ‘King of the Hill’ Revival First Details: Hank and Peggy Are Retired, Bobby’s a Dallas Chef, Dale Was Briefly Arlen’s Mayor and More 3 weeks ago:
It’s going to be a lot of “that homespun wisdom being ratcheted up to 11 and slathered onto topics of today” which will likely get patronizing quickly, especially if they try to make fun of the younger generation without understanding them.
Maybe I’m wrong but

- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 4 weeks ago:
Lend your car out freely. Cosign for things. Make it clear you don’t like condoms.
- Comment on We're deep into the baggy era mate 4 weeks ago:
Yeah i grew up in the 90s. The skinny jean crazy didn’t land with me. I wore baggy carpenters until they died, then the widest bootcut I could find.
Now I am in heaven, my favorite aesthetic is everywhere, baggy jeans, shirt sleeves over long sleeves, hell yes let’s skate

- Comment on On trees... 4 weeks ago:
Mushrooms are the great undertaker, the great decomposer. The Langoliers. They are just waiting to eat you, and they’re happy to share their fruits in the meantime. They’re fattening you up. They can wait.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 5 weeks ago:
I am super torn here because pre-back-surgery me looks at these and says “the NERVE of these fuckers” and post-back-surgery me is like “Well that WOULD be nice yes”

“made with real cheese” so it can be 1% real cheese and 99% petrochemicals and the line works.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Same but - I was actually relieved Microsoft finally MADE an RDP client for Mac again. What was wrong with RDP for Mac? It was fine and they axed it. But them replacing RDP everywhere is just hilarious.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Exactly this. People use the word way too casually these days, but addiction literally means something that’s out of your control despite specific efforts to control it.
One of those efforts is usually moderation though, so when you see someone questioning or struggling with moderation in a true addiction, you know that there’s hope for them to get clean. They are “contemplative.”

This, but if I jerk off before bed and don’t shower, I throw on a fresh pair of boxers and endure it to make sure my sheets aren’t all cum-streaked.

They thought they were fucking advancing humanity up there. They probably thought the photos would be published above the fold in the NYT coverage about the day.

I’m surprised they don’t just use AI at this point, pay the artists like it was real, and then take the heat as publicity. The end result would be better.

I was absolutely like this, juice addicted, then I transitioned into full blown alcoholism, and on the way back out I had to acknowledge serious hypoglycemia and my body had to dry itself out and get used to more stable blood sugar.
Honestly tho I have not ever been able to control my addiction to sugar since, except during keto (boo) and on semiglutide, and suddenly it’s manageable.
