Don’t call her that.

Blue and wet.

The department said it is also aware of a video circulating on social media of the incident but warned that it does not portray the incident in its entirety.

I have a feeling the officially released footage might also not portray the incident in its entirety…

It’s almost as if the generation that taught us to “decide with your heart”, “do what you love”, “you can be everything you dream of”, etc.etc. has suddenly decided to focus and rule the world by irrelevant talking points instead of staying true to their own beliefs and teaching.

I hope that whatever happens in the next decade at the dying breath of that generation will not set the precedent for following inhabitants of this planet. I, being gen-x, am doing as much as I can to enable people to younger than me to have better opportunities than I ever had. (Union stuff.)

The difference being that I acknowledge that younger people are more capable. My parents generation never understood that. They still cling to the belief that age equals wisdom. Maybe their parents taught them that. There is some truth to it, but he cutting point is a lot lower than they believe. The peak of capability is probably closer to 25 than 80…

Edit. Anyway. The world depends on the American election. Mostly because the world needs USA to be successful in order to maintain a stable balance in world politics. The last Trump period was basically what fucked it up in the first place and I have no expectations of it being any better at a second term, on the contrary.

Please vote for Biden. Sure, he’s old (please attend to primaries next time…) and Hillary was too, but Trump is still the most senile of them all. I get it. It was funny to vote in some jackass to stir shit up, but that’s not really what happened. All he achieved was to play golf and let radical idiots run the place down…

It’s not even about the talking points. He spits in every direction, so it doesn’t even matter. He will not fulfill any of the most modest expectations of any of the talking points whether or not you agree with them. He’s going to play golf and let random asslickers run the place, again. That’s not democracy.

Why don’t kids just bike to school anymore.

Jeg nyder varmen. Jeg drikker litervis af vand og sætter tempoet lidt ned. En hat på hovedet når jeg er ude og latinamerikansk musik på radioen. Det fungerer bedre hvis man bare accepterer det. Det er jeg ret hurtig til.

Skal vi på charter? Nej, vi har charter derhjemme.

I doubt they do it just to scare employees. It’s way too expensive to use this tactic without having any real savings to show.

It’s probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn’t hiring? The explanation that it supposedly keeps employees in check seems like something HR would say to justify their own purpose.

Any (reasonable) CEO would absolutely take thee easy and actual savings of firing the HR instead of paying them to use this unproven pseudo-tactic.

Hvad er egentlig en god host til billeder?

Jeg har brugt den interne nogle gange, men altid haft dårlig samvittighed med at belaste din lagerplads.

She’s more of a Devils advocate. Just stating the wrong opinion for others to explain what’s right. There’s never any clever comeback, so I kind of think that’s the reason for her to shitpost so heavily.

I’ve blocked plenty of trolls here, but not her, yet.

So, what happens if you order a bomb at the McD?

Those mistakes would be easily solved by something that doesn’t even need to think. Just add a filter of acceptable orders, or hire a low wage human who does not give a shit about the customers special orders.

In general, AI really needs to set some boundaries. “No” is a perfectly good answer, but it doesn’t ever do that, does it?

So… it might work great for posthummus?

If they succeed with this, it will still fail.

Fewer people will get married. Domestic violence will rise. “Till death do you part” gets a much more malicious meaning.

They took a $300 000 flight to Australia. I guess that’s the price when you order on the same day, but what’s the hurry?

Sure, I understand the desire to get the fuck out of UK after so many years, but I suppose he’ll be checking in to some hotel on arrival anyway. Asking for crowdfunding for a flight seems a little out of touch…

As an older guy: It’s the same picture.

If only 17 year old me had understood that.

I think any aliens advanced enough to visit Earth would probably understand it.

Whether it’s horror movies or extreme sports, it is some kind of play, which is about creating a safe or controlled environment to explore things that either isn’t really happening (horror movies) or things that haven’t been tried before (extreme sports).

A lot of extreme sports are actually relatively safe because it’s done by individuals in highly controlled environments. Statistically it’s a lot more dangerous to participate in other sports or everyday activities where there’s a larger risk from other participants or things that are unpredictable. Things like horse riding, traffic and trampolines are more dangerous because they’re more unpredictable. The consequences might be worse if it fails thoughm, making it “extreme”.

Travelling through space to explore inhabited planets absolutely requires the same kind of desire and process of safely testing out things that are potentially dangerous.

Come on then, at the very fucking least just state what you think is wrong with the post.

I’ve seen the same kind of visualization made from different sources before showing the same point. There is really nothing shocking or unbelievable in the picture?

It’s fine to be sceptical because it is an estimate. However it is a qualified estimate. Read more from the source: https://www.prb.org/articles/how-many-people-have-ever-lived-on-earth/

If you have a better way of estimating the figure, I’m sure they would be all ears.

I do remember reading school books and science articles 30-40 years ago and the estimates then were different, but that’s just how science works.

Again it’s fine to be sceptical, but unless you can provide an alternative figure with better documentation, I really don’t understand why you’re encouraging people to be sceptical.

It’s almost as if you seem to have different motive, so I have decided to doubt your scepticism.

That’s pretty much the point. We could’ve had vehicles that could drive over rough ground, but they opted to make flat roads and rubber tires, both of which are causing issues environmentally and congestion.

My whole thought experiment is : If you were to settle a brand new world, would you repeat the concept of roads and rubber tires?
