But don’t we have lots of insults for other categories of people? People call people soyboys, incels, tankies, fashy, bible thumper, nepo babies or basement dweller.
Aren’t those just the modern version of “jocks” and “limeys” (I went for those because I’m Scottish and British, you can mentally fill in the alternatives…)
I’ve not noticed that in particular yet. but it might be because I block accounts that don’t add constructively to the comments, so maybe I’m not seeing a lot of the worst behaviour.
What interface/appnare you using? On boost its exactly the same process for upvotes or downvotes. I don’t think an extra step would make any difference, I don’t downvote very often and when I do it’s because I think it’s worth doing.
I feel like “going viral” partly covers that? When you make an offensive tweet before boarding a plane, and get turn off flight mode to realise the world has judged you and you’ve lost your job?
If you specifically mean how the Internet can misrepresented a country because most people online have never been to Montenegro or Bhutan, then it’s maybe just “bias”?
Wow! Didn’t know about that, thanks!!
Oh no, mods… If it’s anything like skyrim I’ll spend more time messing around with mods than playing the game… But a bit of reading suggests that just the HD mod is a good choice for a 1st time playthru?
That looks fun! I am a sucker for games set in classic SW.
Looks adorbz
I’m not defending corporate culture, and it’s bullshit. But if you’re in a job that requires thinking, not just physical labour, there is a fair amount of research that’s shows that people do significantly better work when they have intrinsic motivations than extrinsic (like money).
Even if you’re doing a job you would quite today if you didn’t need the money, there’s probably a bunch of intrinsic motivations that are there, even if they’re small compared to “need cash”. Maybe you care about your teammates and don’t want to let them down (at least that one guy, the rest are dicks), maybe you have a sense of pride in your competence and don’t want to produce shit (pity that management get in the way most of the time) , maybe you want the company do be successful (because otherwise you’d have to get naothe job).
If you find genuine motivations, even if you have to be circumspect in how you express them, it’ll be easier for your bosses to trust you. If someone is honestly and openly saying they’re only here for money, then I can infer that they will do the least possible work that won’t get them fired. So I’ll need to constantly be supervising them and checking their work because if I don’t they’ll cut corners and ruin everything. I can’t let the talk to clients or even other staff because they could be hugely negative about the company and cause problems. It’s just not worth it. From the c-suite perspective, they know that everyone saying how important work is and how much they believe in the company are full of shit.
It’s not that I think your trolling. I don’t understand the question. What does house trained mean in this context? How is it different from controlled?
Similarly, I don’t understand what you mean by “allowing the kill and conquer to rampage”.
I think the ways it’s setup does make it sound baity (“we do it every year”). But it’s not that uncommon to bring a friend or family member to an MOT in Britain. You’ve got to leave your car at the garage, usually for a few hours and sometimes much longer. So, it’s pretty useful to have a friend pick you up or drive you back to collect your car, to save you the hassle of walking or public transport.
If I turned up to collect my car with my same-age friend, and the mechanic spent the whole time describing the problems he’d found to my friend I’d find it pretty weird. But I don’t find it unbelievable that lots of women experience that if they go with a male friend. And I could imagine finding that pretty patronising if I was knowledgeable about cars.
Maybe he means Hannah Schmitz who has been Principal Strategy Engineer for Red Bull since 2021 (and was Senior Strategy Engineer for ten years before that).
If my friend told me the were senior strategy engineer I could well imagine remembering that as ‘chief engineer’ or ‘senior mechanic’. Also, she’s British, which would fit with MOT.
What’s this? I’ve never seen yellow dots on stuff I print
Edit: looked it up, intresting and definitely a bit disturbing from a privacy perspective. Particularly that it was kept secret until 2004.
What looks realistic on screen is carefully pieced together from countless shots. An erotic moment feels much less hot if it’s the 29th time you’ve performed the exact same moment, and there’s a dozen guys standing around holding microphone booms and complaining about the lighting not being right, and some dude keeps sending for more fake sweat to reapply to your forehead.
Some kids make fake ‘fairy’ photos in 1917 and lots of people believed them. As others have mentioned, the USSR removed people from photographs. A forged will in the middle ages let the papacy claim authority over Europe, and shaped the western world as we know it today.
There have always been lies and fakes, and there’s always people who’ve ignored real evidence claiming it’s been fake. AI certainly makes things worse, and will be used to discredit legitimate evidence as much as it is used to fake shit. But humanity has lived most of its existence without a “pics or it didn’t happen” attitude, and will continue to figure stuff out (and make mistakes) through investigation, interpersonal trust and community.
I don’t understand where everyone’s getting this 4° rise = everyone dead / no more economy / etc? Obviously it would be a fucking disaster, with rising sea levels, devastated biodiversity and general misery, but no source I’ve seen suggests that “people couldn’t survive” or even “society would collapse”. It would just be incredibly awful, and lots of people (especially folks in poorer / warmer countries) would die. Has the consensus shifted?
Maybe I’m just taking some hyperbole too seriously? But I don’t think it helps matters when people exaggerate the very real dangers of climate change because it just fuels anti-science ‘debunkers’.
I love them! Generally find that once you get one it’s a lot easier. I find that if I’ve not looked at one for a while, and 8k kit getting it, and I go back to the first one I got (some boxing kangaroos) and normally it just clicks again.
My partner can’t see them, and is convinced it’s just a dumb hoax that people on the Internet play pretending they can see them.
I might be a soyboy but at least I’m not fashy.
