Is that your actual AI prompt? “Your anatomy when you twerk”? That would be delightful.

At my university (US), one of my calculus professors with a 150+ student lecture hall would repeatedly open his lecture with a slide showing his church and an invitation for students to join him there on Sunday. Absolutely inappropriate to proselytize a captive audience under his power to pass/fail them. There has to be some accountability for universities to stop this, but not to harass a person wearing a cross necklace or a koppel or a hijab. Shame this is legislated at such a high level instead of people just being professional and not a*holes.

Forget the fingers, look at that wrist with the bracelet cutting off circulation.

AI or are her fingers fucked up IRL?

JFC, what a psycho.

Kudos to PM Takaichi for keeping composure. Her eyes bugged out a bit but mine would have popped straight out of my head.

I did tier 1, 2, and eventually some 3 support back in the day for a software company. I liked how they handled it.

Customer called in, reached a live person doing intake. The intake person noted their question and callback number, helping to scope the problem if needed, and entered a ticket into the queue. The intake person gave the caller an expected wait time for a support tech to call back, pointed them to online written help documentation, and ended the call. Then push the ticket to tier 1, 2, 3, or “urgent, need to call NOW” queues. Depending on tier and call volume and time of day, they’d get a callback from a tech anywhere from immediately to the next morning.

Support techs like myself were coached to help over the phone, but also to point out the written materials and encourage their use. I would commonly say, “sure, that’s a problem we can fix, go ahead and go to screen x, click on button y, etc. By the way, you’re not the only one who had had this question, we even have an entry on this in our support documentation. Let me show you where you it’s at so you can get to the fix even faster than a phone call next time”.

Having the intake person take numbers, then techs call back later saved customers from having to wait on hold for lengths of time. We had very few cases of irate customers stuck waiting.

My shittiest experiences are the companies that don’t do any intake and make all tiers of calls wait on hold in the same queue. Luck of the draw if the tech you end up with is a tier 1 still in training pants or a tier 3 pissed to be walking a customer thru updating their password for the millionth tim.

Pretty much the 2026 I’ve been looking forward to most. #1 is one of very few movies I’ve re-watched 3+ times.

I like that the two in front spread out their fingers so you can count them and see the lack of gross deformities. That’s the good AI stuff.

Eh? They have to watch the movies. They can only vote in a category they’ve watched all movies in. It’s an honor system though so I assume some lie about what they’ve watched.

This is newer, not sure if it changed over the last year or earlier. Previously it was even more honor system “vote in the categories you feel qualified in”.

Oh, shoot. I was hoping to catch something there next time I was in town to compare to the Texas and Des Moines markets’ Flix Brewhouse. I only recently started going to theaters post-covid and am liking Flix.

I agree. I went down me a rabbit hole after work because I speed bumped on this hard today. According to the most excellent and authoritative source, Wikipedia, actual studies of headlines asking a yes/no say the opposite, a greater number answer “yes” than “no”.

Betteridge’s law of headlines.

What’s the difference between an axiom and an adage?
