Maybe the Orca’s should have pulled themselves up by their finstraps. (/s)

This one drives me crazy. Wife and I were walking home late from a night out, wanted McDs (alcohol was involved). The only options were drive through and app ordering for drive through pick up. Thankfully the woman at the uber pickup window let us app order and pick up there, but they aren’t supposed to…
Honestly, that sounds amazing, and illustrates why, “can you explain this gap on your resume” is such a bull shit interview question.
Why does there even need to be a COP every year?
COP is just theatre.
Asked and answered.
I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.
Carl: Alright, well…I was upstairs…
Paul: Okay…
Carl: I was uh…I was sitting in my room…
Paul: Yes?
Carl: reading a book…
Paul: Go on…
Carl: And, uh, well this guy walked in…
Paul: Okay…
Carl: So, I went up to him…
Paul: Yes…
Carl: And I…I stabbed him 37 times in the chest.
Paul: Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarl, that KILLS people!
Carl: Oh! Well, I didn’t know that!!
I see it an more an inability to analyze, evaluate, and edit. A lot of “creativity” in the world of musical composition is putting together existing elements and seeing what happens. Any composer from pop to the very avant-garde, is influenced and sometimes even borrow from their predecessors (it’s why copyright law is so complex in music).
It’s the ability to make judgements, does this sound good/interesting, does this have value, would anyone want to listen to this, and adjust accordingly that will lead to something original and great. Humans are so good at this, we might be making edits before the notes hit the page (Brainstorming). This AI clearly wasn’t. And deciding on value, seems wildly complex for modern day computers. Humans can agree on it (if you like Rock, but hate country for example).
So in the end, they are “creative” but in a monkey-typewritter situation, but who is going to sort through the billions of songs like this to find the one masterpiece?
It gets worse. Visiting a friend recently, they tried to give me an old Kindle, (which I politely declined). They have a drawer of about 6 old ones because they can’t help buying the latest every sale. They don’t even read that much!!
God help me, I watched part of the GOP debate the other night, when asked what they would tell Netanyahu, they were all super eager to gove some variation of, “finish the job” neglecting to clarify if they meant Hamas or Palestine. I’m surprised none of them slipped and suggested a final solution. Sorry, but if you don’t like Biden, you really aren’t gonna like these folks take on it.
You sonovabitch… It’s beautiful!
Wow, the Lord’s truth right here. I never saw it that way, but it absolutely explains why the last company I left put me through 4 reorgs in 3 years. So many middle managers with nothing better to do while an increasingly smaller handful of people kept the place from burning down.
All the story based games:
TT The Walking Dead most, but Firewatch and Life is Strange in a close second/third. So many feels I wish I could relive.
I can’t say my perspective has changed much, I still tend to side with Max, but Goofy definitely wasn’t the bad guy.
Principal Mazur… he was the bad guy, fuck that guy.
I’m not one to defend Singapore much, but owning a car there is a very unnecessary luxury, so this is a pretty unfair reason to dislike Singapore (I can give you some better ones if you’d like).
Honestly in other big cities (NYC, London) most people would benefit from a COE scheme keeping car traffic under control.
Most I’ve seen haven’t even gotten that far. They hear “neutrality”, think it has something to do with the Fairness Doctrine, and panic that they might have to step outside the echo chamber.
Breaking News: Landlords prefer to charge higher rent.
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/quarter-tory-mps-are-private-landlords/
The percentage of landlords rises to 27% among MPs appointed as ministers or whips – including seven of the 25 MPs who attend Cabinet.
Agreed, but I couldn’t help but read that to the tune of:
Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf
I love that the transcription has the correct labels for those of us who aren’t sparkies.
Wow, well said. I wonder if the arguement that “working in the office is important so that younger/newer employees can recieve mentorship” is just a theme and variation on the same thinking.
God this is too real. One place I worked loved to pick odd company wide metrics too. Instead of just like “profit”, 50% of our bonus would be determined by how low a % held stock was against revenue, globally… I worked in marketing. Needless to say the “bonus” did not motivate anyone.
