I gotta eat so yeah. Say what you want but at the end of the day none of you haters are gonna pay my rent. This is the world we live in. Until I have any other options, I'll be going with what pays. Companies don't give a shit about your personal opinion. You either adapt or they'll fire you and find somebody else. Then what? I can sit in my house reading my eviction notice thinking "I really showed those assholes!"?

Yeah, since I'm heavily "encouraged" (more like forced) to use it for work, I at least try my best to actually get something out of it! I have been in the IT industry for over 20 years and know just like any new technology, you either learn it while embracing change (even if you do it kicking and screaming) or you miss opportunities for better positions either where you're at or elsewhere. I can't afford to lose my job nor can I afford to miss out on opportunities just because I hate the direction my industry is going.

I mean, sure I can go against it while losing my job because I refuse to adapt.. Then I'm starving to death but at least I kept it real? Where I work they have already performed a "reorg" laying off 10% and replacing an entire department with AI. I can resist in my personal life all I want but if my industry is going this direction all I can do is openly give my opinion (I do) while still going along with the changes happening.

It's funny how the lifecycle of men's clothes is so different. First there's the good clothes. Then, when they wear down, they are pushed into the "use when getting dirty" clothes. This is specifically used to go fishing, work on the car, yardwork, moving shit, etc.

Dress clothing however just gets donated. This is why if you go to a thrift store, you'll see much more dress clothing than any other clothing for men.

I used to work at a thrift store a long time ago and tried to figure out why there were so many button downs and suits for men and nothing else.

Ahhh so this explains the Parmesan cartel. If you don't know, the only "true" Parmesan comes from Italy and there's a cartel of pretty ruthless (legally, not like drug cartels or anything lol) people that try their best to keep it that way.

There was a bunch of drama once about a guy in the US that was a cheese making hobiest that tried to make his own parmesan using some methods he thought of. The Parmesan cartel in Italy sent him a cease and decist letter.

Garmin has a wallet but you need one of their watches. No idea about the privacy since I don't use it.

Good job! Be careful with that jar, be sure to burp it on time. Because you have a rubber sealed jar with a clamp, it can explode. Ask me how I know?

Great, now our shapeshifting lizard people oligarchs will rule for thousands more years!

I hate that I have to mention I'm kidding because so many people believe that's real these days...

"This girl made me a cake, do you think she's into me?"

"Can't be too sure, could just be that she was talking about a pound of cake"

How does one "ranch with" someone else? Do they share the same ramekin? Do they dip at the same time? Does one of them dip 2 pieces of whatever they're eating then feed the other person? Is it like a bird feeding situation where one person dips then chews and spits it into the other person's mouth?

I'm so confused and need answers!

It truly depends on how you use AI. I use it as a tool at work to help me learn along with other things and it works great! The people that use it to learn for them are the ones that get nothing out of it.

For instance, I'm learning a subject and I'm stuck. It's stupid specific. I then get told the right answer but don't understand why it's the right answer.

Then using AI, I give the question and answer asking it to explain why. It then teaches me to figure out the why and creating a similar question for me to answer and get either right or wrong.

The people that are just using it to get the answer to the question in the first place aren't learning anything.

I personally don't like AI but it isn't going anywhere. Since my industry has decided to use it heavily, I have to adapt or become irrelevant.

"Not even being provocative"... Proceeds to justify being a pedo.

I knew a guy like this. He said he didn't like sunflower seeds for the same reason he didn't like shrimp. "Too crunchy". Apparently he was eating the shell and all of both of these things...

Usually the ones loudest about the gay thing are in the closet. It's because they feel a certain way when they think about it. Then they feel shame because of their backwards ass religion and overcompensate with a bunch of other in the closet religious nuts.

I actually had a friend sorta like this! He never went gay bashing or anything or he wouldn't be my friend but if anybody asked if he was gay or made any inkling he'd freak tf out! He'd also be super weird and uncomfortable if there was anybody gay around when most of us really didn't give a shit one way or the other. I'm not talking about somebody hitting on him, just "this person is gay" and he'd get all uncomfortable and weird. This was middle school to highschool btw so maturity levels should be taken into account.

Years later he came out as bi. Good on him for working on his inner demons I guess.

I may be dumb but I don't get it. From the comic strip alone it's not clear why Satan is calling God and I have no idea what he did? "Is it because of" can mean a lot of different things. Idk, maybe it's obvious and I'm just an idiot.

I'm doing my part helping put McDonald's out of business. They aren't cheap anymore and somehow the quality has gotten worse. I went from going once a week many years back to once a month then a few times a year to never. Every time I go I'm disappointed.

Fake, cheap, and plastic with a huge price tag. What a perfect representation of the United States.

Anybody upset about this needs to be upset with their employer. If you need to work over 12 hours a day everyday you're being severely underpaid. Saying this as a guy that used to do it to survive. My boss would praise me and tell people everyone needed to be more like me while knowing damn well why I was doing what I was doing. Tried to be the empathetic hand while completely exploiting me.

Daylight savings is always a hard thing to explain to them too

Calling it now! He changed his cell phone plan just like the secret service did right at the most convenient time ever wiping all messages.
