Liar, liar.
Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It’s like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.
Blasphemer! You’re only making it worse for yourself!
Don’t be fatuous.
I work in HR and it could also just be a poorly setup, unmonitored, unmanaged ATS (Applicant Tracking System) question that doesn’t apply. I was applying for a job yesterday and one of their standard intake questions was about whether I had experience in molten metal pressing or something that (I hope?) didn’t have anything to do with my application.
I’m constantly blown away at how poorly companies setup the top of their talent funnel. NO ONE looks at the applications they force people to go through.

The LinkedIn post about the AI deregulation announcement was a who’s who of assholes bleating about how great it would be; CEOs, COOs, from Open AI, Duke Energy, Fascists Anonymous.
The Open AI persons comment was such sausage it had to be his own shitty AI
It is going to be a monkeys paw for the fools who use it.
2 years on Lemmy now since API made me realize Reddit was going full enshittification and censorship. Lemmy has grown a lot and my mobile client, Boost(which came over from a Reddit client), makes it so enjoyable it makes up for many things.
I dearly miss r/NBA and r/Wallstreetbets users for being able to make me laugh so much but maybe with time Lemmy will grow there.
They just stop(ped) offering support for whatever the product or line was. Create a “service portal” that provides results, relevant or not. Creat a forum where people can ask questions that aren’t answered, or if they are it’s the labor of some Stockholm Syndrome user who is trying to help others as they weren’t.
This won’t stop here, it’s the dream to not actually have to service your product. Imagine being Ford and saying “as is” when a customer asks why the blinker doesn’t work. Insane, right? That is the push here for a few reasons, all $ of course:
*Profit for a while until people leave or you are replaced but what a profitable run!
I agree with your assessment of current state; add in a few cohorts of 10 commandments in classrooms, reduced access to birth control because they’re taken out of schools, reduced education because the DOE has been rebranded and now education takes place through public school Grok portals or God knows what, sexual content is heavily censored and restricted which doesn’t do good things for teen pregnancy rates.
Lol drive across state lines? In the palantir big brother world of 5 years from now? Read up on the data gathering and now nearly realtime tracking of movement that can and is being done by “law enforcement” and red state government agencies in the name of stopping abortion. Just like how facial recognition of protestors will be weaponized, the new fascists will take anything they get their mits on and warp it to their ends.
You might be right; they’ll be hooked up to the Matrix, eyes glowing
No…and our recently anointed head of the CDC, RFK, has already reduced and restricted who is advised to receive even the flu and COVID annuals.
Violent crime about to explode as abortion now illegal in many places–the knock-on effects of it pretty well isolated as the only reasonable explanation to the sudden drop in violent crime in the mid 90s that has continued through today and was a central thesis in Freakonomics.
With abortion now illegal, hushed up, or hidden in many states, the crime and its vicious cycle will return. Bet your money, when those who would have otherwise been aborted come of crime age in ~15 years, full Judge Dredd world will be on in the US. Teen pregnancy, from the 2nd generation of otherwise aborted kids, will of course explode to the delight of evangelicals everywhere.
Just started a book today I got recommended here called “on oil” about the ties and parallels of oil and evangelicalism to Alberta’s oil boom starting in the 60s.
Read title as “homicide robot community”. I’d say that’s reasonable as an American at this point.
Both companies are owned by a large Japanese conglomerate. They got lucky with indeed, and have used little of its unbelievable market share to solidify it’s position and improve the product. Indeed, properly managed, would print money and go parabolic as a stock. Instead it’s just sat there because both sites suck and exist on inertia.

I was on the fence about attending a world cup (it would be my first) when the sleaze has been trying to say it’s “his” for the last year. Since FIFA has been corrupt forever it probably means I won’t be able to enjoy it as much because I’ll be considering what I’d be endorsing. It’s disappointing, I’ve wanted to go to one since I was a kid but considering there will probably be ICE raids in the concourse or psychopaths trying to drive trucks into the crowd to kill the [insert group] I’ll have to forgo it.
I’m surprised I have heard anything about boycott here–therr was a ton of push for that during Qatar build up around human rights, and nothing for this? I’d hope the US gets boycotted by whole nations ala East German/Russian Olympics.
Right. Off.
Vaccine people. Same thing. They will happily start a case and put it against something with 12 more digits of probability behind it and feel like they have specialized knowledge. Dunning kreuger as well.
