- Comment on Half of businesses rethink ditching humans for customer service bots 2 days ago:
We’ve been on that long slide for a while, or are they finally going to get rid of the last ones?
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 4 days ago:
Some cops are fat, yeah. Also, a lot of cops aren’t. The ones sent to beat the shit out of protestors aren’t the fat ones.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 5 days ago:
I didn’t have context for your comment and I didn’t say all cops. From what I read, you could have been pulling a stat without context.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 5 days ago:
We’ve been seeing the slow rebuilding of the American labor movement, but it is a shell of its old self.
A lot of the established unions have been resting on its laurels and only narrowly protecting its members while new unions are in building mode, trying to get unions established.
- Comment on Is a parent expressing regret of giving birth to a child directly to that child a normal thing that parents do? 5 days ago:
Sounds like depression runs in your family.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 5 days ago:
Since you’re using terminology tied to BMI, it is important to note that it’s use for police officers doesn’t accurately reflect reality.
A lot of cops take their fitness regime seriously, including building a lot of muscle mass. If you have significant muscle mass, you are going to be considered obese or morbidly obese per BMI even though they are in great physical shape. This would be true for other fields like firefighters.
- Comment on Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong? 1 week ago:
Yes
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I realize no one has asked this bluntly. You have a return ticket, right?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
As long as you can read English, you can navigate almost any airport. Almost all airports have English on their navigation signs.
You will likely be interviewed both in Europe and in South Korea when you fly. This is routine for all passengers. You should have your return ticket information, otherwise you are going to get flagged as a human trafficking risk.
Download the airline’s app before flying; it will help get updates from the airline and will update your ticket if there is a change in gate.
Bring an external battery for your phone with you to keep your phone charged. Also, have an idea how you are going to have phone data in Korea; airport WiFi may be spotty.

That thing? That thing? That thiiiiinnnng?

A lot of companies check references and certs.

Why do you want him to return his gift? “A bit too much” can mean a lot of things.
- Comment on Do people confuse your nationality? 1 week ago:
I’ve had people think I’m Italian; I don’t have any Italian heritage that I know of.

It sounds more like "I don’t want to shower and will use any excuse to not shower.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Given that vocal rights have been a thing should, it is likely that ElevenLabs can read the writing on the wall and see potential copyright infringement claims in the future.
Also, AI cloning tools have been used to commit crimes, so I can see ElevenLabs not wanting to become an inadvertent accessory to fraud.
- Comment on Are their any romance movies where there is a male protagonist who is a part of the manosphere? 2 weeks ago:
Probably not.
Even if you’re going into things like dub con hetero omegaverse content, the men are still written in a way that is attractive to women.

Flash and Silverlight follow what I said. They were ubiquitous until the costs, being a bloated platform that couldn’t be ported to smartphones, caused the industry to shift to an open model.
And messaging is a very old use of the Internet. IRC was created in 1988; Discord shouldn’t be a thing based on what you’ve said.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Closed standards win all the time; messaging and social feeds being two major examples.
Open standards usually win only when complying with closed standards is more costly than using less developed open standards in the short run and developing the open standards over time.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Americans would likely use the term “small town” over “village” in most of the country.
Also the physical layout of a small town would likely be different and much more car dependent.
- Comment on how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale? 2 weeks ago:
Based on stated consumption levels, you are probably not an alcoholic. However, your thought process indicates that you may be at risk.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Polygraphs, at best, potentially measure nervousness. The assumption is that lying makes people more nervous than telling the truth.
As others have said, the science behind this is bullshit.
- Comment on What're they gonna do about it? 2 weeks ago:
Nah. They usually require an old email address or phone number.
- Comment on How much has the ratio of accidental vs intentional pregnancies changed over time? 2 weeks ago:
But there is a difference between a married couple intentionally creating a large family and a married couple that likes to fuck and didn’t intend to marry each other in the first place until a baby came along.

I feel this.

If I get a 50 minute video, I better get a timestamp.
- Comment on When I tell people I don't know the answer but where they can find it and they don't go and read where I told them to read. 3 weeks ago:
This is it exactly. I know it is there, but I’m hazy on what it was exactly and it needs to be 100% right.

Of course. How else are they going to advertise $10 tickets to Florida?
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 3 weeks ago:
Because you are measuring against the global median while not adjusting for purchasing power parity. American costs are going to be far higher than the global median.
Generally, it is seen that American primary and secondary schools are underfunded.
