Is anyone surprised?

yhwh looking suspiciously like an LLM

That’s quite a bit shorter than I expected actually! But, sadly still not really approachable for most people.

That’s great! What an experience for them. Quite impractical for most, though, I assume. How long did it take you?

Unless you are a pretty serious sailor you’ll struggle with crossing the Atlantic or Pacific though.

This one was wild:

In an example they uncovered, a speaker said, “He, the boy, was going to, I’m not sure exactly, take the umbrella.”

But the transcription software added: “He took a big piece of a cross, a teeny, small piece … I’m sure he didn’t have a terror knife so he killed a number of people.”

From picking up and object to mass murder lmao. Not even close!

You get paid for four days what you used to get paid for five.

It seems like you’re taking from the phrase “male privilege” an accusation that this is somehow men’s fault. I think the other commenter said it perfectly well, just because a privilege is afforded to a group doesn’t mean that group is responsible for that privilege. It’s still a privilege that they have.

In your example, wearing dresses might well be considered “female privilege”, yes. I doubt you’d hear this talked about because it’s quite minor, but you’re not wrong. Another example which illustrates it well is “pretty privilege” - we all know that life is easier for attractive people. That doesn’t mean they are oppressing average or unattractive people personally. They just have advantages. Not their fault, still a privilege.

What gives you the impression they are framing it that way?

Simplified view is great on mobile. I just wish you could enable it manually!

Or perhaps accusing someone of short changing you based purely on the sound the coins make on the counter.

I have a colour one, I think the white is pretty white tbh? Or, I mean, it looks like paper. Off-white like a book.

Yeah I misread before I commented, I didn’t know robot taxis were a thing, Jesus…

Surely you can just take over? You can’t expect the car to run people over for you lol

Ah but don’t forget, we in the UK left the EU. Bo Jo already considered invading the Netherlands once.

What always annoyed me was having to draw charts by hand. Just let me put the data in a computer for god’s sake, the rest of the working is there… I did actually write a python function for one of my assignments which was fine, but they told me not to do it for the exam.

Yes! I can’t tell you how many arguments I’ve had with people who genuinely think that burglars deserve to be shot and killed.

Yes that’s what I’m thinking, some modernised physical data storage technique.

Punch cards? Stored correctly there’s no reason they couldn’t last many human lifetimes. But… Yeah it’ll take a while to encode everything.

I would have thought that with modern technology we could come up with something like punch cards but more space/time efficient. Physical storage of data - only one write cycle of course, but extremely durable. Even just the same system as punch cards but using tiny, tiny holes very close together on a roll of paper. Could be punched or read by a machine at high speed (compared to a regular punch card, presumably still Ber slow compared to flash media).

MBAs should be renamed Master’s in Bullshit Administration.
