Outlook also sends all your email, including those from other accounts, to their cloud. No questions asked. Oh, also your password, because why not?

Oh no! I can’t go from 0 to over the speed limit in less than 3 seconds. What am I going to do‽

They’ll just claim that the base price is n + 5000 and you get it for n because the features are disabled.

That discord’s users must have dedication to make these emotion reactions happen.

When you’re baking and starting to fine-tune the recipe.

a lot of people are starting think of artists as irrelevant

I’ve thought that since childhood. I’m interested in the art. The pretty pictures, the nice music. Why should I care if a human or AI made it?

The only thing we need humans for (for now) is innovation. But then, listen to the billboard top 100 and tell me where you find innovation throughout these human artists. Take me to an art gallery and tell me how “I threw my brush at the canvas” has a right to exist next to “I threw my palette at the canvas” and “I throw a bucket of paint against the canvas”. Inform me how <DC movie number 28> differs meaningfully from number 27.

That’s what happens when stuff gets made down for the dumbest conceivable user.

If a computer can create art better than you, maybe you’re a bad artist?

I don’t get this discussion at all. The internal combustion engine did away with horses. Do we mourn horses? Excavators replaced people with shovels, electric computers replaced their human predecessors, even alarm clocks replaced humans. Why do people who splatter paint on canvas think they deserve special treatment?

I wonder how many people even know that the hyphen works on google.

At least men and women are equal in their ability to be assholes.

The pay gap discussion doesn’t only revolve around some work being compensated less than other work (retail vs some office job). The main issue, as far as I’m informed, lies in the same work being compensated differently solely based on gender.

Another point considering work that is better performed by men. We may call for fair wages taking the different output into account. But at least a discussion should be had on whether we want that (equality vs equity).

And according to another video I could find, English was made harder to spell on purpose.

The problem with simplifying spelling is that the simplifications wouldn’t make sense; apparently, according to some YouTube video I can’t find anymore.

Easy to use, doesn’t need an account, doesn’t even need to be installed as an extension. Works for non-US amazon.

Thank you for promoting this!

Where?

Someone lived there.

I don’t visit often…

And empty lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets, and strings

Meanwhile in Java land:
