  I can’t tell you how many times I did both of those though. Never by plan of course, but it happened

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I CANNOT TOLERATE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So I lied, I cheated, I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder.

  But most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We live in a society...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty common in the North. Older houses built in the 40s thru 60s that have never been fully renovated. Furnaces are surprisingly resilient

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple. Elegant. Fashionable, even. Become the envy of the airport.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only flown maybe 6 times from Europe, 2 domestic/Schengen and the rest international. I’m only counting the times I started at an airport within Europe.

  So far never had my carry on weighed. France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and Portugal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actually...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s ridiculous, there are tons of tools that require months of training to use properly. You may have a general idea what a tool is supposed to do, but actually doing it is different.

  I couldn’t hand you an electricians toolkit and tell you to rewire a house. And if I wanted you to change the breaks on a car, but I gave you a surgeon’s kit you would never be able to do it.

  Tools have specific use cases, and you need to know when and how to use them to be effective. One of my biggest gripes about AI is this idea that it will provide. Nope it is 100% reliant on human knowledge, and I agree with the poster above processing specific datasets based on your specific instructions is about the only good use among the general public.

  However specifically trained models have been assisting in some cool stuff. Archaeologists are using AI tools to “unravel” carbonized scrolls from Pompeii. A human alone could not do this. An public facing AI/LLM models could not do this. But a educated human training the model and overseeing it’s functions can. That’s tools use right there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Actually...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda sounds like most tools. If I try to fry an egg using a screwdriver its going to go very poorly for the egg and my cookware.

  That’s the main issue with AI. It’s use cases have not been properly identified by the population. Unfortunately what it does wrong is not as obvious as my example. We built the tool and started using it before we knew how to use it.

  And of course the American PYSCHOLOGICAL Associate would say that. It’s how they make money by selling these bogus diagnosis guides to psychologists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this. I’ve never truly lived alone until recently. I lived at home through college and moved out with my then girlfriend now wife.

  I did travel a lot for work and now I’ve started a master’s degree abroad. It’s weird because I treat it like another work project, but I’m there 3 to 5 months at a time before I get to fly home on a break. I’ve only just started to treat it like living alone

  Do you keep the cord hanging out or do you go fishing every time you need a file?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Investing in wage suppression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been big on Unions, but I’m losing my faith. The AFL-CIO just endorsed the local republican candidate for congress over the democrat.

  I can’t imagine a world where the republican candidate is the better choice. I’m not saying that the dems are great, I remember what Biden did to the rail workers, but Republicans have a long history of union busting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Employers ditching health coverage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious if this “progressive” movement takes hold. This could be for the democrats what the tea party was for the Republicans. The RNC did everything it could to push out the tea party faction, but they won and took over the party.

  Maybe the new wave of Democratic socialists can do the same to the DNC.

  Then again I’m not sure we can survive the 2 or 3 election cycles necessary to get there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fox News sharing billionaire propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good point. If they raise the cost of prime by even $1 nationwide they make up the difference and hide the cost

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Should I...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a non-German living in Germany. Abendbrot goes hard. Like I didn’t expect it to be so enjoyable, but it’s tasty, easy, and cheap. I know it’s traditional to include cold cuts, but I usually just use cheeses and veggies. Fucking tasty

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Should I...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are certainly some vegans that do it for environmental reasons. Usually a bit of both though, but not all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fox News sharing billionaire propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s entirely dependant on the economy. If the average consumer is doing well then what you are saying does happen.

  But if they are not doing well financially, like right now, then stores begin to compete more. I’m starting to see this locally myself in grocery prices. Some things are actually coming down slightly, at least for the moment. I expect with the increasing price of diesel prices will skyrocket again, but maybe we’ll get lucky and companies will have to eat the cost this time. Everyone is so broke right now they may not be able to pass the cost on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fox News sharing billionaire propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the thing though, the price will not go to the consumer. People use Amazon for the convenience and the fact that it is often cheaper than going to the store yourself.

  If suddenly it’s more expensive than the store it really incentives going to the store. And that is precisely why prices will remain the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a major you love⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just do archaeology, same bachelor’s in the US at least. Pays better than cultural anthropology

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A reminder⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s if you consider a house a store of wealth.

  I consider it a place to live that compared to everything gets cheaper every year. By the time my mortgage is paid off all I have to pay is maintenance and property taxes. Which are a fraction of rent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a major you love⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anthropology made me the archaeologist I am today lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a major you love⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I followed my passion and on the days it’s too much I pause and think " Is there anything else I’d rather be doing" and the answer is ultimately no and I feel a bit better knowing that this is the best option

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good stuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it did actually track crime and lead to convictions, I don’t care. I do not want government spying devices on every corner

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  most products in Europe include the ones for serving size as well

  Disagree at least in the case of Germany. It was 50/50 at best. Although almost every food item I’ve seen in France has both

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not even that the labels are sometimes cryptic. Like sure I have 400g of cheese, but how many grams is a single slice? This information is not included on the brand I buy, nor the number of slices.

  So I either have to weigh a slice of cheese or count out the number of slices. Then do the math.

  In the US it simply says 1 slice is x calories.

  I won’t understand this backwards sense of pride in shitty labeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, but let’s say you have 35g of sauce. It’s labeled as 2 servings that equal x calories. Easy math to figure out what you ate.

  When 100g is x calories and you have to do the math it’s a bit more annoying. Even worse when you have to break out the scale.

  Woods, family vacations tended to often be in the mountains

  Never been to a hotel in the middle of the woods with no other guests

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going Back ↪️🏨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had good luck, but most of the time for a 1 night stay a hotel is better.

  If it’s multiple nights or a group that’s where airbnb is more appealing. You have to put in the work to read everything the owner posts and the reviews to figure out if they are they type to engage in shenanigans. It’s worked so far, but ridiculous to have to check for it
