Ooh, good call. Too bad I’m not renting a car. How much do you think Uber will charge for the service?

Oh no

Anyway, I’m going to Vegas later this week to get messy with my friends for my 40th. Anyone have any recommendations for places to hit?

A shitpost is the fact that I’m going to rainforest cafe for my 40th birthday in Vegas.

We are not the same.

You’re missing the entire point. But ok.

Let’s see:

We started by talking about manufacturer QA vs fleet maintenance. I called out that those are different things handled by different people.

Then you went on to talk about individuals being held responsible instead of execs.

Now, we’re talking about inspecting equipment vs fleet maintenance vs manufacturer QA. Which I agree inspection and maintenance go hand in hand and are the responsibility of the airline, but they are still different.

You’re muddying things quite a bit.

Boeing isn’t to be blamed for poor maintenance. They don’t do that, the airline that owns the plane does. But Boeing is under significant scrutiny to we’re seeing all these stories about problems that old jets are having that can be chalked up to poor maintenance. That was my point to begin with.

It’s another conversation entirely to discuss who should be held accountable (see: execs) for these poor practices.

Not sure why we’re resorting to name calling but… ok.

Yea, but that’s also an entirely different issue…

Fleet maintenance is an airline responsibility.

The bolt situation was a Boeing responsibility.

These don’t really reflect on each other well.

I’ve seen a lot of modern studies with questionable data collection. It was a significant portion of a few of my psych and sociology classes in college.

The nature of this study would suggest to me that they take it into account as it doesn’t feel like it’s pushing an agenda, but it’s still good to be skeptical. Especially with regards to such vague and difficult to assess responses.

To be clear, I conditionally agree with you based on the context and setting where it’s used. But, that’s what they are. Content labels. And a content label (ostensibly) should allow you to decide in advance if you want to consume the content. If you don’t have a choice in the matter, what’s the point?

We’ve been rating movies for forever for this exact reason. To give people information to decide if they want to consume the content considering the violence, sexual content, language, drug use, etc.

In the case of trigger warnings, they’re intended to say ‘this content is potentially triggering for some people due to this particular topic’ (SA, eating disorders, drug use, etc., all have vulnerable people who can be genuinely triggered by reading content about it, especially if it’s in detail). And having the opportunity to not consume that content rather than be slapped in the face with it is a mental health save. It has value in that context, which you even described in your own comment. You sometimes like them, and that’s when I’m saying they have value as trigger warnings specifically.

I didn’t think I was being unclear and I’m sorry if I was, but we seem to agree here. You just appear to be saying ‘all trigger warnings are dumb and don’t help with mental health’ while going on to describe how they (sometimes) help with mental health.

I sometimes try to adjust my side mirror to reflect back at them. I’m positive I fail every time because the limited range of the mirror motors, but it keeps me from getting angrier at least.

Gotcha.

I didn’t have that experience in school (albeit that was 10 years ago) and the only places I’ve seen TWs is the internet.

So maybe it’s a situation of time and place when it is and isn’t effective. But in a case where there’s no opportunity to abstain, then I agree with you that it’s merely a forewarning and largely useless aside from keeping the topic from causing a bit of whiplash.

You literally just described how it’s a mental health save though. If a content/trigger warning gives you the opportunity it’s to skip the content and not be put into a bad mood, that’s a mental health save. For you, it’s maybe small. For someone with cptsd, it could be pretty fuckin big.

I’m curious to understand more of the setting where they collected this data.

If they collected it from volunteers who signed up for studies, then I’d question whether or not the data collected is reliable. In a clinical setting people are more likely to push through discomfort than they are at home on their phone. I don’t have the stamina to look through every referenced study to try and suss it out though.

It’s a good approach because their base is open to it. They are used to listening to that cadence and inflection with openness and willingness to swallow whatever poison is in the message, and that conditioning makes it so that the content doesn’t matter, only the delivery.

I doubt she even recognizes that she’s doing it too. She’s just used to authority with a microphone speaking this way and so she does it too. It’s exactly how I used to be before I got out.

Jesus. Using ChatGPT to answer interview questions?

I use it to help craft my cover letters but nothing past that. It seems like that is the limit of the responsible use of ChatGPT in applications.

I accidentally squished a gnat in a similar spot in a monitor at work once.

It’s always a pain in the ass for me but I enjoy it. Prefer the ease of use with windows and macOS for my daily driving though. I only use Linux for my home assistant and Plex servers

I just spent the last 6 hours trying to get my home assistant VM to run on boot up because I’ve spent the last 6 months unable to get Linux to stop automatically rebooting for unattended upgrades.

I’m far from a power user but it shouldn’t be so fucking hard. It’s like 3 clicks to disable automatic upgrades/reboots in Windows.

Here’s the drive leak that you can check out for yourself. Note, there’s a blurry and not great quality dick pic in there at the bottom
