Lol, this brought me back to when I worked at a retirement home.
We had one gentleman who was 100+.
I realized he was old enough to have known civil war veterans.
I asked him if he’d ever met a civil war vet. He thought I’d asked him if he’d fought in the civil war, lmao.
Eventually, he told me he only ever saw them in parades.
I felt a little nervous to ask who was in the parade.
He was very proud to say, “The good guys, obviously. It was New York.”
I got to know him more over time and learned that he was super progressive and loved to use the internet. It’s cool to know there’s a few good apples every once in a while.

I want to see an analysis of llm, automated comment bots, and old top voted reddit commentators. I don’t know how to explain it but the “hive mind” mentality of posting what you know will get you up votes isn’t that different from mindlessly using ai.

Does anyone remember when orangetheory fitness accidentally tricked a bunch of people into thinking someone died in a bicycle accident? They put “abandoned” orange bikes everywhere. When you abandon a bike like that, it represents where a cyclist died. So a lot of people were concerned and confused by the orange “ghost bikes”.

“Do you also go to the zoo and complain that the monkeys are throwing shit? :P”

No, but I also think comparing a woman to monkey throwing shit shows your bias.

I don’t think most women who work in biology would agree.

Don’t you guys also have a specific word for bread crumbs?

That was my US understanding as well.

How did you say that and forget to say it’s a "bread roll "? Also, it is a step away from Canapés, which are small sandwiches.
