Some of the best cyberpunk characters are women and the clothing is cooler.

For the former point: molly millions/Sally shears and YT were both by far the most interesting characters in the sprawl series and snow crash respectively.

Funny thing about cyberpunk as a genre is the women are often the badasses with complex characters and the male leads are usually bumbling selfish dummies that generally fail to resolve anything (Hiro protagonist in snow crash, Johnny mnemonic, case in neuromancer, and to a lesser degree bato in GIS who's just clueless half the time instead of bumbling).

For the latter: mox gear is better than worn browns and grays.

I also just think the voice actor is better and Judy is the most interesting love interest.

roguetrick,

Gave him several doses of Narcan when he obviously had a heart attack, what idiots.

roguetrick,

Completely useless for firefighting. Putting a drip torch on its ass and letting it walk a line, maybe. But it's not going to cut down the trees to make a firebreak, who what's the point.

roguetrick,

We're just going to completely ignore Bill and Hillary's third way new Democrat movement, which actively pushed Republicans into being more radical I take it? The movement that actually allowed the current crop of neo fascist echoes to flourish?

The entire problem is this lack of ideology that directly ensures electoral losses.

roguetrick,

I'm pro using torts to make everyone in the chain of a gun tragedy pay for their externalities. Didn't secure your gun and got it negligently stolen and someone was killed? That'll be bankruptcy. Marketed something you knew would kill someone unlawfully? Good luck staying in business friend.

It'd be interesting if folks had to pay for the real cost of gun ownership.

roguetrick,

That's sad. He's not wrong about many things but his brain's pattern association has gone off kilter.

roguetrick,

In his case he self identifies so much with the plot of the show that he's convinced it's actually nefarious brainwashing.

roguetrick,

Unfortunately for Tesla, he's about the biggest thing they've got going for them.

roguetrick,

Do not go to your unit manager with this shit. Take report, give care, give report, leave. Otherwise acknowledge and move on. Every nurse thinks they're the best nurse. It's just how it is.

If you don't want to talk to someone, just tell them you forgot to chart something and then ignore them. They'll get the hint.

This is a profession that, for better or worse, attracts type A personalities.

Edit: and most charge nurses would not intervene in this either.

Does anyone remember these? This was a time before answering machines, hard line voice mail, beepers, cell phones etc? (lemmy.world)

At a business, a secretary, almost always a woman, would answer the phone for all calls. There were no direct lines into anyone. If you were in she would transfer the call to your office. If you were out she would use this pad to take messages. When you came back in to the office you would always stop at the front desk and you...

A receptionist is still a thing, but physical switchboards thankfully are not. Low payed, long hours, repetitive stress injuries and customer facing.

roguetrick,

For a criminal petit jury, which of course this is. Just wanted to clarify.

roguetrick,

Attempting to apply anything resembling personal values to Macron is an error.

roguetrick,

Sender pays is what Korea has. It does not work well at all.

roguetrick,

GPT will require every test and yet for the sake of authenticity randomly perform medical errors.

roguetrick,

The 17th percentile in peds is not surprising. The model mixing it's training data with adults would absolutely kill someone.

roguetrick,

Fuck your shareholders. Tipping a fucking mutual fund.

roguetrick,

If there was one company that has existing infrastructure to offer a VPN for peanuts it's Google. I think the only place I wouldn't operate as them is South Korea because their ISP peering traffic rules are downright stupid.

roguetrick,

And if Bibi wasn't in charge trying to extend the life of his government that's what would happen. Biden's trying to put a leash on him but we've seen how effective that is.

roguetrick,

But he and his cabinet are the ones that will escalate this to full war.

roguetrick,

It's indefinite because they have dependencies that are maintained by other people that will break.

roguetrick,

Fallout 4 is the only one that doesn't have Ron Pearlman saying it.

roguetrick,

Just because we're old farts that don't really appreciate video as a medium doesn't mean it's not valid for some.
