If you have to stand on a toilet, your best bet is across the bowl; they're sturdy and hold bodyweight regularly. But just like the previous statement, there's a gasket and bolts to the floor plumbing and they are NOT designed for ANY off-axis loading. Definitely best to figure out an alternative solution if possible.
That analysis feels...way too close to home. Like, am I am anarchist because I had a teacher who was provably wrong as a kid? It REALLY fucked up my view of the world, having this authority figure be wrong and then chew me out for correcting them. What the fuck. You fucked with my head.
Investors were briefly spooked last July when an M.I.T. study suggested that almost none of this is useful to businesses. Corporations had poured tens of billions of dollars into A.I., yet only one in 20 projects had succeeded, the study reported. But a Wharton study in October delivered the opposite verdict. After interviewing 801 leaders at U.S. companies, Wharton concluded that three-quarters of the businesses were getting a positive return on their A.I. investments.
Ah, the tech nerds say "this is objectively and subjectively garbage" but the business nerds say "I smell profit", certainly the business nerds have got it right.
egos so weak they could shatter just by looking at them
huffing your own farts and doubling down is the name of the game
This cost me a once-good friendship with a radlib. The worst part was their insistence that "you think you're always right, and can never admit when you're wrong." Like, valid, I historically have trouble with that and perfectionism and all sorts of mental shit that I am actively treating and have been for years...but mostly it's because I don't open my damn mouth unless I actually know something. It ends up it's super easy to always be right. And those times when I am wrong...it's as simple as "oh, oops, guess I was misinformed. Thanks for correcting me." It boggles my mind that most people don't operate this way.
The real friction came from stuff like "china bad".
"China bad." "Disagree." "UYGHURS." "Fake news, literally." "Black book of communism." "Pure propaganda." "Mass starvation." "US Sanctions." "WHY WON'T YOU EVER JUST ADMIT WHEN YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT SOMETHING!? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO PROVE YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!?" "BECAUSE I AM RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING, DAMMIT. IF I WAS WRONG, I'D CHANGE MY MIND SO THAT I'D BE RIGHT IN THE FUTURE! THAT'S HOW THINKING WORKS! THAT'S HOW SCIENCE WORKS! THAT'S HOW EVIDENCE WORKS! FUCK THIS. FUCK YOU. I'm done."
Like, I disagree with people about stuff because if I was saying something incorrect, I'd want to get it right in the future. Anything else is pure liberalism of the fifth, sixth, and eleventh kind.
The rest of the world will not be getting this. Moderna, being a company, only cares about profit, and has stated that it's not "cost efficien[t]" to make vaccines without the US market (to exploit)
Hmm, blue collar. If it was white collar, I'd have gone with a "I asked chatgpt how I could improve my workflow and here are the things it suggested; i'll create a plan to execute these while integrating AI into my processes to enhance efficiency." They eat that shit up.
Shit, my ass got laid off months ago because way-up managers decided to shove the stick farther up their own ass to make line go up. The contradictions are increasingly apparent.
At any rate, your actual job requirements & duties always amount to "do the bare minimum that doesn't get me fired"; sounds like you're nailing it so far.
Along the lines of "no, they're just teacher's pets, all grown up. They cannot help but immediately trust information from an authority figure."
