I'm.. weirdly similar. I tend to wake naturally about 5 minutes before my alarm every day, even if it's not a normal wake time. Doesn't apply if I didn't set an alarm, obviously.
It's subtle. No one is looking at the fake condensation covered sprite and saying "aw man, this one looks so much more refreshing!" It's all happening behind the scenes. You gravitate towards the one well lit, stacked up so that it's easy to grab. Easy to see labels.
The insides of coolers are kinda gross looking if you let even a little bit of maintenance slip. Frost, condensation on the inside, weird rollers that don't like to put the label outward if it wasn't stocked properly. Shitty florescent lights. Being able to eliminate that just gives the store a lot more control over the all-critical first impression.
Funny, that was always my plan if I ever got hounded by paparazzi or journalists outside my house. Ear pro for me, a speaker blasting tunes, and a bullhorn loud enough to cause physical pain for entry/exit.
One definition of peaceful is synonymous, and one isn't. This is exactly why language has so many synonyms, each one is sliiiightly different. Choosing one intentionally instead of another is important.
In this instance, "peace" is being defined (not directly, but through context) as status quo, going about your day unhindered. "Violence" is being defined as causing direct physical harm to a person, and possibly property depending on who you ask.
With these definitions laid out, it's easy enough to see a situation that is not violent (no one got hurt at all) and also not peaceful (some people's days were interrupted) - one person mentioned blocking a road. This is a FANTASTIC example of non-peaceful non-violent protest. No one likes a pedant.
Man, I fuckin love that song. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lot of hate towards it, at least that I've seen. I've seen some pretty vitriolic things aimed at media making far more innocuous implications lmao
The issue is the "man" up aspect. There are ABSOLUTELY times when you have to... Well, man up, nut up... Whatever. That's a fact of life - some situations require you to stop being a child, and instead face it like an adult would.
We run into issues with it being 'man' or 'nut' - these are gender-loaded terms, which imply that females aren't able to do the same thing. Do I think anyone actually means that when they say one of those things? No. Do I think a lot of reactions to them are overblown? Yes. We should still be cognizant of what the language we choose to use may say subtextually though.
There's another parallel issue to the advice to man up. That's that a lot of times, the people who get that advice HAVE BEEN manning up, and the advice giver is seeing them in a moment where they've been worn down and just need a quick whinge fest before going back to manning it up. Situations like that imply that having any emotions other than "git er dun" is a bad thing and you should just STFU and work.
As far as giving others advice goes, generally speaking unless they ask you for advice, don't. If someone's just coming to you with some venting about a thing and you tell them whatever version of "man up" you want, even if it's applicable, it comes across as dismissive. The person may not want advice, they may just want to unload a bit. If you can't do that without offering advice, then it's best to state that.
Most of economics assumes perfectly rational actors capable of making these delayed purchases. It's a bit reductive for sure, and hard to say how much the real world maps to the theory, but the logic works assuming those caveats.
Not an economist at all. I can't say anything about refusing to raise wages, I don't know for sure that wages increasing to match inflation is bad for anyone except the capitalist class.
Inflation being more desirable than deflation is simple enough though. If prices are constantly, slowly, going up, it means that your purchasing power with an amount of money is always highest right now as opposed to in the future. This encourages spending - why wait to buy this thing in going to buy anyway, if it'll be 3% more expensive next year? The one thing we absolutely don't want is people just hoarding money, sitting on it because prices will go DOWN tomorrow. This leads to a stagnant economy, where there's no money moving, and that's bad for everyone.
You're absolutely right. The comic above is absolutely prejudiced, it's just targeting a group that's seen as more privileged, and thus "punching up" and so it's ok. BS is what it is.
Sure sure. So if I made a post essentially saying 1 in 3 black men are violent, it's only racist if you believe black men are violent. Says more about you than anyone else.
Why do you seem to think it's impossible to change how AI understands things? It's just an algorithm. It's just a fancy set of math functions that gets you from noise to something that looks like something. Of COURSE we can change how this process works, have it weigh other things, and get something that generates based on a different paradigm than we currently have. All you seem to try to do is be semantically correct.
In what world does changing the algorithm used in order to generate anything, something that would be NECESSARY to make the model incorporate a new dimension of data, not change the algorithm used to generate?
I'm not just talking adding more prompts, keying more specific terms to specific patterns of pixels, I'm talking building in entirely new ways for the AI to understand.
You seem to think I'm just talking about linearly expanding the vocabulary of the model, I'm talking about giving it an entirely new paradigm through which to work.
Anyway, this is why no one likes pedants. If you want to actually engage in conversation, sure. If you want to just keep being a vitriolic ass, go back to your cave, yeah?
