Sure, but they also said role. Which can just mean job position, is more commonly used for casted actors.
- Comment on Top post in the conservative subreddit: Being unable to work at a "woke" company 1 week ago:
There’s no way we’re hiring a white man for this role. They’d be very careful how they’d message that to agents.
Furthering that, they use the word agent. Specifically referring actors.

Ha. That was my first question when I saw this.
It looks horizontally opposed. I want to say it’s an ej out of a Subaru. Top right looks like the bracket for the turbo heat shield. Plenty of lines on the right for the coolant going to the turbo. What’s throwing me is the black plastic on the top left. Looks like the intake resonator that sits inside the front fender of the bugeye.
I’m going to guess it’s an ej20 rather than the ej25. I know that resonator was in the 2003 wrx, which, at least in the US, only came as a 2.0L. I don’t know if the 2004 wrx still had that same intake as they changed a lot that year.
- Comment on The fast-food industry claims the California minimum wage law is costing jobs. Its numbers are fake 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I know they won’t close. That’s just their threat. They keep saying “oh woe is us, if we have to pay living wages then we won’t be able to keep the staff hours or we’ll go out of business and look at all the employees that would lose their jobs.”
But it’s a thinly veiled threat and always has been.
If your business closes because you can’t manage your costs, then another business will fill the void that can. Isn’t that how they always describe capitalism and the “free” market? They have money to pay for all this media and “reporters” to repeat their propaganda. They’d rather pay that then spend the same on their employees.

Someone should remind Trump’s Lawyers that he is “former president.” It’s fucked to continue using the title when he is not currently the president.

If your business cannot survive paying living wages then your business does not deserve to survive.
Your business is not more important than the employees, despite whatever they try to say.

I can only speak to my experience.
Often I fall back to films or games I’ve already developed an emotional attachment to. Because the mental energy it takes to develop a new attachment is significant. I find I can trick it by putting something on while I do something else and then come back to watch or listen to it later where it’s already somewhat familiar.
My ADHD doesn’t really let me have long term (hour plus) focus easily. It wants the easy dopamine hit from something that it knows it already can drop into.

Or you’ll have anxiety about wanting to do something but be too high to actually do it.
For those that can enjoy it, cool. But not everyone can chill and get into something when high.

So Adderall is an amphetamine salt. Not a methamphetamine. Not that they don’t have methamphetamine drugs that are prescribed for ADHD. But they are drastically different drugs.
I do think their prescriptions are over dosing, but to say that over prescribing is preventing those that need it is the wrong conclusion. If there is that much need, then there should be increased production. However the federal government restricts the productions to a certain level.
Like most drugs to treat mental illnesses, it’s a lot of “try this and report” to determine the effectiveness and the dosage. We don’t truly understand the neurotransmitters or how they affect mood and mental health. We work on correlation. It’s only by how the patient self reports the effects that they can adjust the dosage and potentially change to different drugs.

There is a reg key to add that disables bing search.
What I fucking hate, is that I exclusively use the start menu to start apps I’ve installed, but typing in the name of an app doesn’t show the installed app at all, just fucking ads. They literally took away the only functionality of the start menu unless I do a very intuitive method of reverting it.

My GF would kill me if I wore it, however much I love the shirt. She was army reserves for 8 years. She is so happy to be out though now. She was deployed to Kuwait and Afghanistan. She’s officially VFW with all the VA benefits. But yea, totally one weekend a month, lol.

- Comment on Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.) 2 months ago:
Thanks. I know it’ll a challenge. She’s five now, and will be six by the time she moves in. I’m super excited that I have a goddaughter who is a year and a half younger than her. I really want to build the relationship so that she has someone her age to grow up with and befriend.
I’m trying to give her every opportunity to experience everything. She recently visited my house for the first time (I’m in the Midwest and she and her mom are from California) and it was the first time she had been to a zoo and a children’s museum.
I want to give her every experience and opportunity I can.

I’m going to be falling into a stepfather role this summer when my girlfriend and her daughter moves in. We’ve already kind of talked about marriage.
I’m nervous as all hell, but the girlfriend says I’m doing great so far. Her daughter loves me and I try to handle her by leading her rather than telling her. If she doesn’t want to take a nap, well then I guess it’s time for me to take a nap and she’ll follow. When she doesn’t want to go to bed, then I’ll play like I’m going to lay down and sleep in her bed and she’ll kick me out because it’s hers.
She’s a smart cookie, and I’m excited for it all. I’m excited to take her to extracurriculars and chaperone field trips. I’m scared shitless. But excited.

For sure! It’s just a fun show to talk about. I’ve been considering buying the board game.
- Comment on Trans-mascs in a distopian future society 2 months ago:
I’m still on the fence with Um, Actually being hosted by Iffy. It feels like a step back in the production quality. The thing with the cards in the wall for the shiny questions sucks, he doesn’t feel like he has control over the guests, and instead of just doing the show half of them have been special episodes in some way.
- Comment on Seattle dance squad says they were told American flag shirts made audience members feel 'triggered and unsafe' 2 months ago:
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
[…]
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
[…]
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Outside of a web scraper, how sure are we that this poisons reddits actual data being sold to ai companies? It seems trivial for them to have an original comment field in the database that’s invisible to users or just use backed up data. Or even an anonymized copy of all all original comments not linked to any account that is solely for AI training.

- Comment on CD Projekt CFO does "not see a place for microtransactions in single-player games" 2 months ago:
Has the distribution gone up though? If the quantity of games being sold has increased the companies are making just as much even though games are “cheaper.”
Imo. That’s the big argument in this debate that doesn’t get discussed. The reach has increased so prices could come down as more units are sold and the company would get the same amount of money.

- Comment on How does data sent over the internet know where to go? 3 months ago:
So at a basic level, well only talk about routers. Every computer/server on a network has an address. When your computer wants to talk to another it attaches the IP address of the destination computer to every piece of data that leaves your computer saying where that data wants to go.
It goes from your computer to your router which has a table of the addresses it knows (your network at your house) and then an address of another router that it sends everything that it doesn’t know.
It does this a few times before your data gets to a router that says “oh, I know a router that knows someone that knows where that is” and it sends it that way. Until it reaches a router that knows the specific computer to send it to.

I don’t think there is a huge market for stolen Thule bars. I never got a lock for mine.
I’d be more concerned with anything on my bars. But I’m not going to leave anything valuable on mine and rely on those locks on my bars to protect it.
