They're framing it as "AI haters" instead of what it actually is, which is people who do not like that robots have been programmed to completely ignore the robots.txt files on a website.

No AI system in the world would get stuck in this if it simply obeyed the robots.txt files.

They don't think we're open minded and understanding.

They think we're ignorant of how the world works, condescending, and irrationally judgemental.

I'm not saying this is how we ARE, this is just how they view us, and because they view us like that from the very start, there is no opportunity for meaningful dialogue.

It is bi-directional prejudice, and only by acts of understanding and patience and wisdom can that be overcome.

WHERES THE FUCKING BUTTON

How is it that a company that gets off on being crass and inappropriate is one of the most powerful and competent upstanding arbiters of fairness and equality of any company I've ever seen?

It's beautiful and I'm here for it.

I've been saying that for a while that secondary residences should lose all tax benefits and should also have additional tax penalties applied to them as long as there is a housing crisis.

Like a second house should cost you double, and if you get a third, then the second and third should cost you triple, and so on and so forth, so that having multiple homes would be a sign of wealth and not an investment practice.

You roll that out with a gradual phase in and you would solve the housing crisis in like 7 to 10 years.

Being asked to do a task by the person responsible for administering the task automatically obviates you from being classified as a rapist.

I'm just going to keep riding this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.

That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.

And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.

Trump's racism killed a million Americans.

It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.

How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?

Sounds like the pro-democracy call would be to call in seal team 6 to kill four supreme Court justices and then replace them before the elections in November.

And then if Congress refuses to nominate your justices then you kill the Congress members that vote against you.

And you just keep killing and killing and killing until things are right again.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to do something along the lines of stating upfront that "if anyone in the company does anything to offend you, please report it to the appropriate channels. You'll have our full support. We're here to get work done, not to make people feel bad"

You're not likely going to say by accident something they haven't heard before, or to offend them in a new and novel way, But establishing and occasionally reinforcing the fact that they don't have to tolerate it, that putting up with abuse is not part of their job, and that they have the boss's backing at the same level of the non-LGBTQ employees should they find themselves being abused or offended, would probably go a decent way in minimizing the risk of something actually bad happening.

I have a lot of respect for Daniel Radcliffe. As far as actors go he seems to be a pretty upright guy.

The fact that he can read is honestly an accomplishment that should be applauded

The other night I had a dream that my sister had talked me into crossdressing at Dave and Busters.

She had picked out this like sparkly red bugs Bunny sequined dress thing for me to wear, and so I put it on.

I walk out of the women's bathroom and I am immediately accosted by some older white dude in his like late 40s who's getting up in my face and saying, "what are you supposed to be, what should I call you should I call you ma'am, what should I call you?"

I realized there was no answer I could give this person that would make this go away so in my deepest most manliest voice, loud enough to be heard throughout Dave & Buster's I said, "FUCK OFF OR I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU".

AND HE FUCKED OFF WHICH WAS NICE.

But then immediately afterwards I realized that I was about to get kicked out of that Dave and busters while wearing a woman's dress.

I always have weird dreams but this is the first time I've ever dreamed about cross-dressing or Dave & busters. I have no idea what the fuck I was smoking that night.

This isn't an "unpopular opinion", this is outrage bait.

This is the kind of shit that happens when you think everybody is stupid except you.

One of my co-workers switched to UBlock Lite instead of UBlock Origin and now the ads are back.

Now he's working on switching to a non-Google browser.

Good job, Google. You have killed Google for yet another former customer.

The maintainer Ernest had some life issues come up and he was not able to maintain it anymore. When it hit a snag he just did not have the energy left to keep it going.

This information is third or fourth hand so there may be something else going on that I'm not aware of but that's what I was told.

Get it in writing.

Verbal promises are not worth the paper they are written on.

Make sure to include A minimum amount of time and notice to cancel the contract, as well as a requirement for complaints on either side needing to also be written and signed by the other party.

Add a rule to extend the required tasks as new things come up in writing, And add in a disclaimer that if it's not written down and signed by both parties, it's not a requirement.

Include an out for failure to perform on both sides, on your roommates side for failing to pay the rent and on your side for failing to do the housework to a satisfactory standard.

Give yourself both easy outs that give you each enough time to adjust if something happens. And also write down on the paper that maintaining your friendship is the reason you're writing the contract.

I know it sounds silly, but Contracts like this are meant to help establish the rules and make things easier.

In many parts of America, $1750 a month after taxes is like a part-time job. In other parts of America, $1750 a month is a full-time job.

Make sure that your roommate does not feel like they are overpaying for what they get, or that they have bitten off more than they can chew.

I would say that you should include something along the lines of If your roommate cannot or does not want to continue the contract, they have to give you enough time, (I would say like six weeks) to start paying rent again, And include that during that change over time, you will still continue to perform the work you have agreed to in the contract.

Either which way it goes, best of luck.

Basically, the water would be held inside the bucket in the shape of the bucket without getting the bucket wet, because the hydrophobic coating would prevent the water from touching the bucket, however the water would still touch the hydrophobic coating, it just will not stick to the hydrophobic coating.

It would be if they were just sending her back home, but they're going to put her into a detainment camp and bad things happen there.

Yes, technically there is government oversight, but the oversight is handled by the kind of people that volunteer to run detainment camps.
