I meant it colloquially - like a long time ago - but fair point. More accurately, it was introduced about 100-150 years before there was a linguistic trend for fruit to be called fruit and not apples.

is this loss?

to be fair, that's a modern take. in antiquity it was so ignoble it was given the generic name for a fruit/vegetable.

a modern version might be more akin to "dirt thing"

I dont fault that really, saying good things when a company does good things is fairly normal, as is working for a company that doesnt do good things but you've got to have a job.

I mean I saw armored vehicles and armed guards at the Georgia Capitol building in Atlanta during the last few elections

Quizmaster: Jolly good! Well now Madam your first question for the blow on the head this evening is: Which great opponent of Cartesian dualism resists the reduction of psychological phenomena to a physical state and insists there is no point of contact between the extended and the unextended?

Ratbag: I don’t know that.

Quizmaster: Well – have a guess!

Ratbag: Oh… Henri Bergson?

Quizmaster: …is the correct answer! (Piano chords)

Ratbag: Ooh, that was lucky. I never even heard of him.

I mean technically any machine is a potential Linux machine...

Waste is how you frame it.

Even literal poop has a benefit.

I do client work, sometimes it drives me mad how much time I "waste" making PPT slides that are just prettier BI dashboards, but then the client sees it, sends that one slide to his boss and everyone claps me on the back.

Mexico is a big country, Google has shareholders who demand line goes up, people use maps to advertise ("map pack" "local SEO" and brand tie-ins)...

it's a tricky question, arguably there are more people on this planet that call countries by their Mandarin name, followed by their Spanish name, followed by their English name, than the name in the native language.

De Guo > Alemania > Germany > Deutschland for example

They finally did it, the crazy sonnuva bitches finally reached you about your cars extended warranty.

There's also a touring comedy show in the UK, sometimes US or AUS called Friend, from the perspective of coffee shop owner Gunther.

I interviewed someone today whose hobby was poetry of the African diasporia, for a position relative to logistics.

While I know very little about that specific poetic oeuvre, hearing them talk about their passion gave me an insight into their personality.

Perhaps ask questions about what they're into rather than if they're into thing.

Stop fucking clapping then

Crazy how the HHS lives in the final fantasy 8 universe, judging by the font on the sign. Does it also get up and fly around to unleash child soldiers?

There's a tradeshow a client of mine is attending where the DEI talk has been rebranded "Justice, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion" — JEDI.

Thought that was kinda clever actually.

And it's a final fantasy optional megaboss with unskippable dialog.

Another point you missed, to join on the dogpile, is that all immigration, of all kinds, for any and every country, is a net economic benefit.

Its shooting yourself in the foot, purely monetarily, economically, fiscally speaking, for ideological-only reasons.

I saw a stand up recently do one of my fave gags in a while:

men hate when women wear band t-shirts and don't know the songs, but will wear floral prints and not know the names of any of the flowers.

Poker is just the underlying mechanism. It could be any RNG that makes patterns that match against other patterns.
