The best news I've seen about "AI" lately: People have wisely concluded that these systems are untrustworthy.

Something I've noticed a lot lately, is that especially Boomer women, but honestly, women in general, don't seem to ask for what they want or need in a direct way. I notice this a lot with my Mom and her friends. Instead of just asking for what they need directly they tell a story, to ask in a roundabout way. For instance, my Mom needed help this morning, and Instead of just saying, "Hey, I dropped my remote, can you pick it up for me?" She tells a one minute story about what happened, no ask, and eventually I get the point, and then suggest that I come pick it up. Or if one of her friends wants to do something like have a birthday party for a friend, they don't say "We should have a party!" They say, It's Sarah's Birthday coming up, you know she likes surprises, what does everyone think we should do?"

I often wonder if this is why older people think younger women are rude and demanding, because younger people often just ask for what they want and need in a more direct way. But also it's probably just straight up sexism, because men are supposed to make decisions, and women are supposed to make suggestions.

What do you all think? Is this just me? Have you experienced something similar?

@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@RickiTarr This is definitely a thing. I've noticed it most with my own mother, but also her sisters. Often it just comes in the form of detailing a story of whatever difficulty they are having, and the expectation is that the listener should volunteer to help.

My guess as to why there are so many mentally ill people in Gotham:

The Joker and Harley Quinn fall into a giant open vat of chemicals in a factory that make them "crazy". So, I'm assuming working by the fumes of said open vat of chemicals for a long period of time would have a similar effect. All of Gotham problems have to do with poverty and infrastructure as usual.

I was married on April Fools' Day which probably explains why I'm referring to the anniversary date of my first marriage rather than my current marriage.

WoTSeries.com is reporting that #TheWheelOfTime Season 3 has wrapped filming in South Africa. Some light #spoilers in the article if you care about those things.

Season two was released more than a year after filming wrapped, so it’s probably safe to assume that we will not be seeing season three on our screens until at least 2025.

Any dispute arising from or in connection with The Contract shall be settled through friendly negotiation and hugs. In case no settlement can be reached, the dispute shall be then submitted to an underground rap battle venue for arbitration in accordance with its rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration. The arbitral award is final and binding upon both parties.

Why do movies think rich people eat at long tables all the way across from each other?

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@RickiTarr It does make me wonder though: are there good examples of a similar energy being brought to a scene with a different setting? Say, two brothers eating hot pockets on paper plates on opposing ends of the coffee table? Shot in a way that really exaggerates that distance.

Quarreling lovers sitting diagonally across from each other in a diner, not speaking?

Finally got around to moving my personal domain email addresses over to #ProtonMail. Not sure why I took so long honestly. But a recent email delivery failure was the motivation I needed. Was already using it for my darkfriend.social email addresses.

If you wash and dry a load of laundry, you also have to be prepared to fold it, and put it away. It's not really helping otherwise.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@RickiTarr Yes, folding and putting it away are just steps in the "doing laundry" task. If you skip out on those, you can't claim to have done the laundry.
