  • Ahhh brings back memories from my YuGiOh days, sitting in the back of the shop opening extortionately expensive packs and playing game after game. I'd miss it if I didn't now see just how much of a horrible waste of money it was.

  • But if the average person sends out 1000 applications then the average job gets 1000 applications.

    That would be true if there were exactly as many jobs as applicants. In reality I think there are fewer jobs than applicants, so you can already increase the number of applications they recieve quite a bit. Plus, by definition the most popular jobs will have more people applying to them, so the chances are you will be sending an application to all the ones that everyone else is, not the ones that aren't getting them. So while the true average might be lower, the average number of applications to a job you apply for is likely to be even higher.

  • The Kansas GOP said it was “disgusted” by the comments and that they do not reflect the views of Kansas Republicans, who, it emphasized, “elected a black chair a few months ago.”

    Lmao, seriously they're going with "we have black friends, actually"

  • Supporting Zionism while being actively antisemitic is a handy way for Nazis to encourage jewish people to segregate themselves. Zionism presents a potentially attractive place to go, and then aggressive antisemitism gives them a reason to leave. The two are not so radically opposed.

  • It should be, but presently it accumulates in the assets/accounts of the 10 worst people you can imagine instead

  • SEO optimization

    Man they should really incorporate optimization into the initialism

  • I was initially impressed by the 'reasoning' features of LLMs, but most recently ChatGPT gave me a response to a question in which it stated five or six possible answers sparated by "oh, but that can't be right, so it must be...", and none of them was right lmao. Thought for like 30 seconds to give me a selection of wrong answers!

  • Wait, there's something scrawled on the corner down here in crayon...

    i'm lazy

  • Musk is pushing for drastic federal budget cuts targeting programs for vulnerable populations

    Billionaire cuts services for the poor. Bears continue to shit in the woods. What next? The sun rises in the morning?

  • But for people who those are features, they are very likely to be Muslim or at the least Arabic

    Uh, I don't think so. Perhaps very specifically the religious laws, but besides that you don't have to look far among westerners to find those for whom...

    man’s arrogance, literal slaves, rampant misogyny, homophobia [...] one of the hottest places in the world and extremely expensive

    ... are rather a nice prospect, actually.

  • I think a major issue is that if the corporation cannot find work for all of its employees, how will it pay them? And since, presumably, there will be admin staff required who also need to be paid, the amount this corporation will charge the employers of the workers will have to be more than is paid to the workers. If this amount is significant, employers can poach employees from the "union corp" by offering more money, while still saving themselves money.

  • The only part I disagree with is stone/pounds for people's weight. Although we use stone, I've never heard someone use pounds... Maybe if you're in Weight Watchers or something, but otherwise it'd be rounded to the nearest half a stone (e.g. 9 and a half stone)

  • Sounds utterly weird, but I'm intrigued

  • Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it's actually about.

  • USB-C cable CT scan reveals sinister active electronics — O.MG cable contains a hidden antenna and another die embedded in the microcontroller

    Jump
  • Seriously cool piece of kit! I have no use for it whatsoever, but can't help but wish I did.

  • I don't need the money but I'll fuckin take it 😎

  • Spotify knows you're not REALLY listening to it

  • I had a "whoa" once, or perhaps something slightly more extreme. The condition wasn't, particularly - I had a lump on my finger as a kid. The first doctor said it would go away on its own, which it didn't at all, 2 years later it was much worse and started to hurt, so back we went. The next doctor suggested basically that we just cut it open and see what it was lmao, so that we did. He sliced it with a scalpel there and then, while, me, the doctor, and my dad peered at it.

    As soon as the scalpel went in there was a small explosion of goo from in there and both my dad and the doctor recoiled in horror ("whoa!" lol). He proceeded to poke around in the goo hole somewhat with a needle (looking back this seems like an odd way to do things) and fished out a ~inch long hawthorn that had just been in there, chilling for the past 2 years.
