  • I see people all the time who seem to go overboard

    I don't have an answer to the question, but wanting to point out that 'overboard' here is highly subjective. For example, from my (poor person's) point of view, I would consider five plastic surgeries for a young lad like yourself way overboard.

  • Maybe not 'main' and 'appendix'? Both could be, like, actual wives idk.

  • [Copy paste from my other answer] It was a rhetorical question, sorry that wasn't clear. I know that knowing details about my private life can be useful for an employer to estimate how exploitable I'm going to be. What it meant is more or less 'Not their fucking business', asking personal questions in an interview is a big red flag for me, how about 'are you thinking on getting pregnant any time soon?'? I'm sure most companies would like to have that information too..

    And now it serves yet another minor purpose: it's another flag that might point to the interviewer using ChatGPT to bullshit things.

    No, it only does for the unprepared: 'Hey, chat gpt, give me a list of hobbies that would make a good impression in a job interview', or just bullshit through it: 'I volunteer, I play some [team sport], I like hiking, hitting the gym, reading, playing the guitar even though I'm not very good..'.

  • Recruiter: 'What are your hobbies?'

    My brain: 'Don't say fucking your mom, don't do it. DON'T. YOU. DARE. SAY. FUCKING. YOUR. MOM!!'

    Recruiter: 'You're using chat gpt aren't you?'

    Me: 'yep, that's definitely it. Absolutely...'

    What do the things I do in my personal time have to do with being selected for a job? Fuck these people, I'm sure the process before reaching these interviews is highly automated (with or without llms). If companies are going to use all kinds of ai bullshit (on top of the usual non-ai bullshit) workers ai-bullshiting back is only fair.

  • France: 10% pay cut for pregnant civil servants: “unacceptable sexist discrimination” for trade unions [pay cut during sick leave starting earlier for pregnant women than other civil servants]

    Jump

  • I am from a 'developed' EU country. The first three days of sick leave you get nothing (this accounts for the vast majority of ordinary leaves) then 60% of the 'regulatory base' (which takes out 'pluses' or 'bonuses' that in some trades/jobs make for a substantial part of the wage) till the 20th day from there 75% (again without those extras).

    In 22 years of working I've not been paid one single sick day.

  • Wait, you Frenchies have 100% pay for ordinary sick leave??? I guess we'll have to get some hi viz vests and a handful of lighters over here.

    Edit: is it just for civil servants? Do workers for private companies get a 100%?

  • The other commenter gave you the right answer already. But I meant 'in practice' literally, as in, if the sexuality of someone matters to decide your course of action, like flirting with them or introducing a friend, they basically mean the same.

    Now if you wanted to get technical, pansexual people are technically bisexual (?). Pansexuality would be a special case of bisexuality in which the attraction is equal across the entire gender spectrum.

    But as rarWars said it's hard to put identity into strict rigid definitions. If you think it too hard this model means that every sexuality is just a special case of bisexuality as well, ace is a special case of pan...

  • 'Destroying' money, either physically burning banknotes or just setting some numbers to a lower value in a digital ledger, does not remove value from the economy. When you create money, usually through debt, it takes its value from the currency that already exists. Money is also destroyed all the time through the payment of debt but not as fast as it's created, that's why its value mostly goes down (prices mostly go up): Money printer goes BRRRRRRRRR, money burner goes brrr.

    What matters for an economy, and therefore the value of its currency, is the value they create–simply put, how much resources they exploit and how efficiently. The most important resource (in my opinion at least) is people.

    So if you want to remove value from an economy you have to take those resources away, or make them hard or impossible to exploit efficiently by them, or make them obsolete...

  • In theory: Bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender, while pansexuality is attraction regardless of gender. For example a bisexual person could be attracted to women and nb people but not to men.

    In practice: Mostly synonyms, some years ago 'pansexual' was kind of a buzzword to mean 'inclusive bisexual' (as in can also be attracted to trans and nb people), but I haven't met a bi person that wasn't 'inclusive' or that wasn't attracted to a particular gender like the example above.

  • No I didn't, and like the other commenter I don't buy it either. My comment didn't say you don't put the axle into the roll, that's very common for machines that are roll-fed. My comment said you don't leave it laying around in the middle of a factory. Even with much smaller machines, eg a receipt printer, where you put the axle into the roll before installing it into the machine the axle is part of the machine and usually there's only one. You pull it out of the depleted one as you take it out from the machine, put it in the new roll, and install that roll on the machine.

  • How have I been proven wrong? The other commenter posted a (real) picture of a similar thing, that proves that these exist (which I haven't put into question), not that the other picture is not ai generated. They even said that some detail bugs them, so no one has 'proven' the first image is a real photograph.

    On the other hand, the poster of that link didn't say they're quitting art, just not posting it online. But even if that were the case, receiving (even unjust) criticism is part of being an artist.

  • This one's real, but in the other one there's no crane nor rails for it, and there's no machine where it can go in like you see in the back of this one. I can't put my finger on it but I have definitely ai vibes looking at it. As other commenter has said the machinery around doesn't make much sense either.
