Sure I'll try to find one.

When right-wing people see the statistics that educated people are more likely to be left-wing, they apply the obvious incorrect logic that 'education is indoctrinating our children'.

The simple fact of the matter is, that in high school, college, and university, I was exposed to people. I played sports with people from every culture, shared classrooms and completed group projects with them. I was taught by people with different cultural backgrounds and I can promise, not a single word of it had anything to do with politics.

Meanwhile, the uneducated are born in their small town, they go to work in their small town, they are surrounded by the same people they went to high school with (presumably from their own cultural background) and ultimately, they listen to mass-media telling them that X people are bad.

And if you explain this to them, they'll still say that you're brainwashed.

The new style is actually worse. They cut / paste other people's work (usually entire scenes from a movie) and then have an AI talking in the background. Normally the AI is so quiet you can barely hear it, but I guess it's enough to bypass any censorship.

Whether you are a hardcore capitalist, or any other political ideology, I just don't understand how anybody can be against social policies.

In my country, people complain that our benefits system is crippling us. SOME people take advantage of our disabilities and childcare benefits, but it's a small price to pay for having them -- at the end of the day, if I had a disability which meant I could not work, my country would take care of me. For that, I am more than happy to pay more tax.

This extends to healthcare, childcare, education, etc. it's easy to sit and grumble when you see the tax bill every month, but god forbid you ever actually need these services. I am VERY happy I do not require disability benefits, and I am VERY happy that I pay into a system that makes this (and other services) available for those who do.

Yep, should go without saying! I didn't list every company but there are plenty more who belong there.

option 1 is that he was murdered because he had a lot of information that they didn't want to get out - this is the most likely conspiracy theory

option 2 is that he didn't actually die, there is some evidence that a body double was used and some that he is still alive and potentially living either in israel or on Lex Wesner's land

not saying either of these two things are true, but there is evidence of them both if you want to dig into them.

not just chatgpt.

Stop using Amazon, Meta products, Netflix, Spotify, etc.

All of these massive corporations are actively making life worse for people, and it will only get worse and worse as people continue to stay subscribed.

The only option is to log off and find an alternative.

I agree. Violence is a societal issue, not an identity one.

The sooner we realise this, the better. Regardless of who you are, what your background is, what extreme things you are exposed to -- you do not go out and kill a bunch of innocent people unless there is something significantly wrong with your mental state.

I definitely wouldn't class it as "objectively terrible" but I have been seeing a lot of sentiment that the tonal shift in Click made the movie awful, and if the script had been taken more seriously from the start that it could have been a great movie.

I actually found the movie to be great, it was one of my favourites when it first came out.

As a QA, I raised the very real risk that should tensions with America escalate, they could effectively cut us off and our business would be kaputt.

What happens if AWS goes down? We use Google. What happens if both go down (or cut us off)? We're fucked.

The answer to me raising the risk was a, "Haha, yeah, true, we'd be in big trouble..." but there's no actual appetite to do anything about it. We're so tied up in AWS that I can't imagine there ever will be.

I used to be a League of Legends only guy. I also played Fifa on the side. Basically: competitive online games only.

The problem is they have a heavily addictive gameplay loop, and it takes seconds to get into a game. Win a game? Dopamine is high and you wanna keep chasing it. Lose a game? Keep playing until you get that high.

I managed to get away from it, and at the moment I'm focusing on 'hard' single player games. Hades, Elden Ring, Megabonk (lol), that kind of thing and I am having an absolute blast. I'm realising that 'hard' gaming is my preference, whether online or offline.

I think it's completely normal to have a preference when it comes to gaming. Playing a completely different genre is more of a risk, when you know you prefer e.g., rogue likes, why would you stray from them?

You had to "dig through answers" as in, you got your answer, in the form of a website that you then had to click into and scan for the answer.

AI is far more efficient. I can't tell if you are delusional or just willfully ignorant. Ask a question and in two seconds you have a succinct answer with all of the information that using a search tool (now, and in the past) would provide you.

I also don't disagree that they will 'ruin AI', I'm not defending it or the creators of it in the slightest. I am simply saying it can be an extremely effective tool and it is without a shadow of a doubt better than using a search engine to get the answer to a question.
