/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • No kidding. I work with robots in a factory and these pieces of shit need to be babied all day. "Oh no the part is .01mm outside of tolerances, I don't know what to do!" meanwhile I can just grab the part, smack it with a hammer, and we're fine.

  • These days they might train a chatbot on your photos, texts, and voice recordings to try and scam relatives.

  • I tried.

    Go back to Reddit.

  • People are going to react to this with a knee-jerk "nuh uh!" because you're being a smug reddituer about it, but I'm going to take a different approach. China actually invests in its infrastructure so obviously it's going to have more and newer cameras, simply because it's actually building and expanding. In China you might be surveilled in one of the more than 1000 high speed rail stations. In the UK it might be in one of four, or more likely a low speed train station. In the US it might be a bus station.

    That's the difference. When countries are growing and building, they're installing cameras. Every country is going to install more and more cameras forever, the only countries that won't are the ones that are in decline. China is growing and building faster than anyone, so they're going to have more cameras. This needs to be taken into account.

  • I had breasts pre-transition because my body naturally produces very high levels of T. Excessive T is also converted into DHT, unfortunately, which made me stop growing at a younger age and gave me really bad acne. At least my hair never fell out.

  • I think machine translation will eventually be good enough that such a project would be redundant.

    But also, learning multiple languages is good for you. It literally makes your brain healthier. It'd be a shame to get rid of that.

  • It took several hundred years to make factories even reasonably safe for humans to work in, and yet still, workplace injuries are extremely common because the human form is simply bad at doing this kind of work. It's trash.

  • The human form isn't designed to work in a factory, why would you make your robots have humanoid bodies??

    This is 100% management being scammed.

  • And there are factions within Venezuela that want to discredit Delcy Rodríguez - both pro-US factions and anti-US factions, to be fair. It's a mess. There's a essentially a fog of war that makes it hard to tell what's actually going on, but again, it doesn't look good.

  • This could all be fake, is the thing. I sure as fuck don't trust the New York Times.

    It doesn't look good, though.

  • I think if "did not vote" was a candidate, they'd be president.

  • the froth from the top of a fermenting vat of beer

    the liquid, or “wet,” off the top of a batch of mushy peas

  • "Dressing" is one word for it.

  • I wish I had the patience to do stuff with my hair. It's down to my butt, but most days I just put it in a bun with a couple different sized scrunchies and a bandana to tie everything down. In fairness, that's mostly because I don't have air conditioning and do manual labor that requires my hair to be up anyway, and it looks p good, but it'd be fun to have extra pretty hair on the weekend sometimes.

  • Smack barm pea wet is a common order at chippies in Wigan (a town in Greater Manchester, England). The syntax of this order may need some explaining. A "smack" (in other regions called a "scallop" or a "potato cake") is a battered and deep-fried potato slice. "Barm cakes" are soft, enriched rolls which were traditionally leavened with "barm," or the froth from the top of a fermenting vat of beer—though bakeries today use active dry yeast. Thus "smack barm" is a noun-noun compound, where "smack" gives the specific type of "barm," or "sandwich on a barm cake," that's being described.

    "Pea wet," or "pey wet," is another noun-noun compound. It describes a condiment that, as far as anybody can tell, is completely specific to Wigan: the liquid, or "wet," off the top of a batch of mushy peas (though a few solid peas may make their way into the ladle as well).

    😨

  • Baked beans are the lowest bean, beneath mushy peas.

  • I think he's technically alive, in the sense they haven't taken him off life support, and they're milking that for all it's worth.
