  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • Pretty much 'anything' clothing. I guess if it's a clothing brand of good quality and there is no choice except to wear it with the logo they stick on it might be an exception, but anything outside of that is basically paying to belong to some club with basically no membership requirements except spending money.

  • Awesome, totally sidestepped any processing i had to catch the meaning, but always appreciate a multi layer Linux reference :)

  • I mean from their perspective, they would call the 'base' we use '22'. Unless I'm missing the joke in there about a calculator?

  • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

  • Not sure if fruit trees would pass the “use daily” criteria, at least not in the generally acceptable sense.

    I have a workshop that was converted from a barn quite a long time before I was born.

    Is there a way to get an AI to read a text in Trump's voice available?

    Jump

  • Yes, but it can only handle up to two syllable words, 5 the grade level vocab and it only follows the first 3 words of your prompt and fills in the rest with narcissistic mad-libs.

  • Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings

    Jump

  • Well, 'proven wrong' is a bit of a stretch. 'will soon block screen capture' doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room, but also isn't that crazy to read into it that maybe it would block screen capture on the presenters screen... especially if you grant that it might only have control over the teams portion of the screen. I've had it black out windows on my own machine even when not presenting.

    But further than that, it's not fair to say everything has to be read only from the most or the least charitable viewpoints. Context is a thing and if you're even a little bit familiar with the history of software enshittification, it's reasonable to assume that an uncharitable reading is fair without assuming the app will now melt your computer for spare parts if you try something that is disallowed. 'As shitty as we can get away with' might be a good rule of thumb.

  • Mexico is suing Google over how it’s labeling the Gulf of Mexico

    Jump

  • Dumbest thing about the entire thing is that naming it the Gulf of ‘anything’ basically highlights the perspective it was named from. Naming it the Gulf of Mexico highlights it in reference to the US, basically intrinsically identifying it as an American gulf, and specifying it as ‘the one near Mexico’. By Trumps logic we should name every gulf that touches the US ‘Gulf of American’. He’s so arrogant that he can’t even see anything past his very first instinct. Like if you said ‘the part of my yard next to Fred’s yard’ and Trump came in and said you should rename it ‘the part of my yard next to my house’….that’s what Fred should call it, and it references Fred as being more important in the equation.

  • Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings

    Jump

  • That's a charitable reading, and likely justified by the article, but based only on the phrasing, it's just as likely to read that as assuming Microsoft will block all content in order to ensure the safety of sensitive data. Sniff tests have to be adapted when things tend to stink in general, or companies regularly try to cover up their smell.

  • What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?

    Jump

  • It only 'matters' to the extent that OP claimed it doesn't run in families, and you seemed to be claiming it does 'because' you had 3 -5 relatives that died from it. All I'm saying it's that anecdotal evidence doesn't refute an assertion like that.

    If you'd said 'it does run in families and here is a statistically significant sampling across variable x, y and z' i wouldn't be arguing, I'd likely be reading an article about it. But it's worth pointing out when people use unscientific reasoning in a forum where other people might be influenced by an argument if no one calls out the fault in logic.

  • What is an important core value for you?

    Jump

  • Just funny that you are saying that you can't relate to someone because they can't relate to someone. Empathy isn't just about feeling other people's pain, it's about being able to understand things from another perspective.

    Not being able to relate to them is literally relating to them.

  • The question wasn't wether there are inheritable health issues, diabetes, some cancer, etc are demonstrated to have a heredity component. I'm not even arguing that heart disease 'isn't' hereditary, I'm just saying that in the context the argument, you saying that several of your family members had it doesn't prove that specific thing is inherited. Everyone does of something and the fact that you can find 3 to 5 people in your lineage that died of that does point to it being inherited.

  • Shouldn't exist. That's different.

    Their belief system is based on an a being that can't be sense that banished people to infinite torment for following instincts that he designed them with, then sent part of himself to be tortured and killed as a sacrifice to make up for a curse he put on them, but only if you it was necessary. A ridiculous age of the earth is hardly the craziest thing schools like this teach.
