The question is whether the entire bundled package deal is a pretty good job or not for yourself.
That's a great way of putting it. Unfortunately, the drudgery of each job is rarely explained or even acknowledged to young people entering the workforce. That's how we end up with burnt out people in their 20s and 30s.
It’s not an indication that they don’t love or value you, rather the exact opposite.
100%. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. A parent who reacts that strongly still cares about you on some level, however messed up their way of expressing it may be. A parent who would shrug and continue watching tv, on the other hand, is beyond redemption.
I understand that I’m a bit like a toaster that was advertised as a chef…but really all I do is try to burn your house down
This is a beautiful metaphor and I'm pissed that it came out of an LLM.
Either this is a hilarious consequence of the word "toaster" often being followed by "burn your house", or someone else on the Internet came up with it and the LLM just regurgitated.
I was going to make fun of the title (which is basically "Sick ants stink, the others don't like it and make it stop") but IMO this is the important bit:
Then, the team conducted an experiment showing that the sick pupae only produce the smell when worker ants are nearby, proving it is a deliberate signal for destruction.
That does go beyond just smelling bad due to illness.
This is fascinating. I never realized that sound is processed like this. Not that different from sight then, which is processing a bunch of electromagnetic frequencies.
Oh ok, I thought you meant pulling the eyeballs "inwards" as in towards the back of your head! What you describe, I'd normally call "crossing" my eyes.
I am intimately familiar with that feeling. Because it's not just popcorn that causes it. In apples, the seed chambers are lined with a hard membrane that is extremely similar in size and texture to a popcorn hull. If you bite too close to the core, or if you eat apple slices from uncored apples, youwill get one stuck in your throat.
That's a great way of putting it. Unfortunately, the drudgery of each job is rarely explained or even acknowledged to young people entering the workforce. That's how we end up with burnt out people in their 20s and 30s.
