this actually terrifies me.

School isn't supposed to be "won" it's supposed to teach you shit you'll need later in life. Getting stuff wrong is part of the learning process. If all students do anymore is type LLM prompts they are fucking themselves up in the future. And they are fucking up other people's future as well.

But honestly I could be completely wrong - LLM prompt writers may become a big salary job and actually knowing anything will be passe and not necessary. I just don't want to live in that world.

Sincerely

Grumpy old fuck

I've noticed that as well, most cities in the States are all different shades of brown and grey. It's kinda sad to see.

I always assumed that bland colors were easier to maintain and appealed to more people. But by God let's not have any color in the world because of resale value...

remember until it affects them personally in a negative way they don't care about what this administration does. This is what make it so difficult to change a large population of trump supporter's minds, because they seem to not have much empathy for anyone but themselves.

That is exactly what I did. I'm not a maths person. So maybe me trying to do math in a internet comment section wasn't the best decision.

Honestly I get paid once a month but I know some of my friends have 2 paydays a month so it's still out there in the wild

I love breaking down these huge salaries into 2 week chunks because I think it brings the disparity into perspective more for people since most of us get paid 2x a month.

For $75 million that is a twice a week paycheck (I know CEOs don't get paid this way) of $3,125,000!

That's the total of 1000 employees 2 week paychecks if they all made ~ $40 an hour

Just to put $10 million a year into better perspective: that is ~ $833,000 per month or ~$208,000 each Week! for one year

GODDAMN IT. Every fucking thing that happens in this world has to be some kind of fucking conspiracy to these people. Nothing can just be what it is.

 

Two years on a can of fucking beans is still the most upvoted post.

 
 
 

How did this western societal idea of how a man should act, and what emotions are appropriate to show come about? How far back in western history does this idea of limiting men’s ability to emote honestly go? And how did these ideas change over time?

It’s interesting to me because I feel like these traditional and limited roles that western society puts on men (and women) are just that traditions. That it’s just something “that we do because past generations did them.” So my curiosity is why did past generations have these societal rules in place? was there a legitimate reason for it, did having men be almost robotic even in the privacy of his home and around his family have some necessary and important reason? If so is that still necessary today?

Edit: had this posted on c/asklemmy but it was suggested this was a better place for this question.

 

I posted this a year ago, thought as the election gets closer to re-post it just because I think this part of a trump presidency is being ignored. So if you need another reason to not vote for this piece of shit and his lessor demons here it is.

 

One study by the First Street Foundation, a research firm that studies climate threats to housing, found that roughly 3.2 million Americans have already migrated, many over short distances, out of flood zones, such as low-lying parts of Staten Island, Miami and Galveston, Texas. Over the next 30 years, 7.5 million more are projected to leave those perennially flooded zones, according to the study.

All of this suggests a possible boom for inland and Northern cities. But it also will leave behind large swaths of coastal and other vulnerable land where seniors and the poor are very likely to disproportionately remain.

 

Covering large parking lots with solar panels is an idea that goes back decades but in America at least it's an idea that has never really taken off.

What is the reason for that? Is it due to the overall cost or is there something else that keeps Walmart, Target, Costco, Sams Club, Malls, etc. from covering their parking lots with these panels and selling the power?

 

What's your go to for music while you workout?

 

This question has been around for a while but I'm curious as to your answer
