Takumidesh,

BP…

Takumidesh,

A) the three laws were devised by a fiction author writing fiction. B) video game NPCs aren’t ai either but nobody was up in arms about using the nomenclature for that. C) humans hallucinate fake information, ignore directions and restrictions, and spread false information based on unreliable training data also ( like reading everything that comes across a Facebook feed)

Takumidesh,

Let me just rake up all this sand and grass clippings.

Takumidesh,

Manual labor has been being automated since the industrial revolution.

Takumidesh,

Generally pedestrians have the right of way at crossings (unless it’s controlled with a light) in my state and neighboring states, most crosswalks even have signs that inform you to yield to pedestrians.

Takumidesh,

Autopilot also turns off on planes when things go wrong.

Takumidesh,

There are a lot of people who don’t pay properly tax and get all of those services, for example, people who rent.

You still pay income tax and sales tax.

Takumidesh, (edited )

Ok, so then the owner isn’t paying property tax.

In reality, the renter is not actually paying the property tax. They may be paying for it, but they are not the one paying the bill at the end of the year.

Edit: classic lemmy. The renter may be giving money to the landlord which covers the cost of the tax, however that is irrelevant. a renter by definition, does not own the property and therefore does not pay property taxes and yet, still is able to utilize public infrastructure. Just like how a person who doesn’t have income is still able to use public infrastructure. Your ability to pay into the system does not preclude you from participating.

Takumidesh,

Corporations can do all of those things while also operating as a non profit

Takumidesh,

Well, it would be faster if I didn’t need to drive 4 hours for a 7/11, but I get ya.

Takumidesh,

You go to new York and just immediately get bombarded with pizza, when you get off the plane they put a pizza around your neck.

Takumidesh,

So the scenario is A) you have transitions that work 90% of the time and a pair of prescription sunglasses for the times they don’t Or B) you have regular glasses, and still have prescription sunglasses.

Option a means 90% of the time you don’t need to carry an additional pair of glasses with you.

I used transition lenses for a decade, they are great.

Takumidesh,

They influence the people watching them.

Takumidesh,

Conservatives learn about set theory, transphobes in shambles.

Takumidesh,

You can get red caviar (salmon instead of sturgeon) for like $20 a can.

Takumidesh,

It’s possible to deadname any person who changed their name for any reason.

Takumidesh,

Well traditionally, cars only had one trunk, now it is common that they have two. The need arose to distinguish them, and ‘front trunk’ easily collapses into a nice single syllable portmanteau that makes communication simple and concise; the language evolves and a new word is born.

Takumidesh,

An FHA loan is only 3 percent, about $25,000

    Generally green means go and red means no-go, regardless of which is the desired outcome.

    Takumidesh,

    There was this TF2 style free to play shooter game a few years back called ‘loadout’ and literally the only thing I remember about it was you could be nude in the game with your dick swinging around while you lugged your machine gun around. It was very fun and fit well within the style of the game.

    Takumidesh,

    devs are such babies. I went to school and got licensed as an a&p (9 part proctored exam with written, practical, and oral components) and was working in the weather for $16 an hour, working my way up and dodging layoffs (which dont make it in the news because blue collar) to 25 an hour after years and years.

    This is working as an aircraft mechanic, at various levels. This is a high hazard environment filled with carcinogens (solvents like methyl ethyl ketone), fall hazards, operating heavy equipment.

    I got qualifications like engine run and taxi qualifications that result in $0.25 raises.

    Mandatory overtime, busting knuckles, freezing in the cold, boiling in the heat, standing on concrete all day.

    Oh and if I fuck up, planes crash, people die, and I go to jail.

    I got a job as a software developer in the same area working for a medium sized company no one has heard of (300 person engineering department) and I work 8 hours a week, with no deadlines, at home, and make 3 times the salary. The worst I have to do with is identity politics and stupid meetings, 🤷.

    These jobs are absolutely dream jobs for people who have perspective on what bad jobs actually are.

    Takumidesh,

    I wasn’t attacking you, or even referring to you as a dev, though it would have been a fair assumption regardless given the topic at hand.

    I also wasn’t claiming ‘hard labor’ is better or anything, just that there is a large discrepancy between the quality of life and work of the jobs the article is referring to and the jobs that the majority of people actually work.

    Many software developers need perspective on the privilege they have, this is coming from someone who has worked a variety of jobs in different industries, attended trade school and university, and is currently a developer.

    Fwiw I was generally agreeing with you.

    Takumidesh,

    A 9mm handgun can be as cheap as $100, however that is for a quite poor quality gun (hipoint). For something that is more standard, higher quality handgun like the Glock 19 is around $500.

    There are some additional fees, if you buy online you have to have it shipped to an FFA which may charge you, in my state, you either need a conceal carry permit, or a ‘pistol purchase permit’ the conceal carry is like a lifetime pass to buy guns, with the idea being you proved you can be safe by doing the CCW courses and exams. The pistol purchase permit is like $15 and involves a background check.

    Private sales require no ancillary permits or anything, so a used hi point 9mm could probably realistically be as low as $50-$75 if it were quite beat up.

    A box of ammo for a 9mm may cost around $20 for 20 bullets depending on where you live and such.

    That seems cheap and it is. But for regular use at a shooting range for example, a single box would only last a couple a minutes. If you wanted to go for an ‘all day’ thing at the range, it would cost $100-$200 (about 200 rounds) plus the fees for the range, $20 - $100 depending on the place, unless you have safe private property. Though with a hi point, it will probably fall apart before you get 200 rounds through it 😅.

    Things do get real expensive though for people like shooting as a hobby, as more exotic ammo can get very expensive ($10-$15 a bullet or even higher)

    Takumidesh,

    I think mostly people are defending themselves, when Linux people jump on the harassment train, it’s just that, harassment.

    Takumidesh,

    Given that non-competes were already hard to enforce and engineers (or any staff role) can easily answer no to questions like “are you an executive?” I don’t think it’s going to be hard.
