I have never had this happen or seen any of my friends shitty plastic laptops do this even after 7+ years

Are you guys overheating it often?

Like you can’t go your whole life without cooking a meal, making a birdhouse, a porch, a really cool paper plane, something.

I mean generally these AI bros were all incredibly chronically online gamers from middle class families who then went to study and grind a STEM degree while their parents paid for everything and then graduated into a 6 figure job where they can door dash every meal while they watch Netflix after work

I studied CS and I've met a ton of people who never swept a floor because they always had maids do all their cleaning growing up and so they just never cleaned anything when they moved out for college

idk why people have to pretend like its art. The technological feat itself is already mindblowing. Like genuinely futuristic capabilities people could never have imagined even 5 years ago. Why not just stick to appreciating that?

Just point to the opposite direction they came from and tell them you think you saw some Hispanic looking people run that way

It's not illegal to be "thinking you saw something" but it turned out to be wrong though they'll probably give you a hard time about it

Just ask it to rewrite the shitty code you wrote in a language you barely understand to "follow standard best practices in " or something like that and it will add advanced typing features, functional programming for iterables, advanced exception handling, proper concurrency handling, optimize control flows, use better equivalent functions, etc.

As long as you understand the foundations of these concepts in at least one language anybody can become pretty close to an expert in most languages instantly. Especially since most of them are C based and pretty similar

The output will sometimes change the logic but I mean that's pretty easy to catch and fix

Rip C++ nerds that memorize the entirety of each releases manual to shave off 3ms in every single function

 

My desire to leave has recently rapidly increased but I have a partner here and really close friends I want to be with as long as possible. I wish I could stay and establish roots but that was never an option given healthcare and the inevitably of the current downturn though I expected to have a lot more time before it got this bad tbh

 

Weatherday

Observations: The average man at the show that looked to be age 20+ had an estimated height of 5' 6". Almost every person at the show was also white. n=50+

The average height of a white man in the USA is 5' 10"

Hypothesis #1: Shorter men are more likely to be bullied and have worse dating prospects -> more likely to be sad -> more likely to listen to sad music like Weatherday (I'm not citing any sources for these but I've read supporting studies/research for all claims)

Hypothesis #2: I've also observed a disproportionately high percentage of trans women at the show. I can't really estimate what the percentage was because I'm sure there were also many non-visible trans women. This may be explained by a reason similar to Hypothesis #1 in that the average trans woman seems pretty fucking sad, for many good reasons. If that's the case, then there is no Hypothesis #2. However, another plausible explanation is that since Weatherday is non-binary, there may be some trans solidarity or shared culture that makes it more likely for trans women to discover and enjoy their music. If that's the case, then this may also apply to trans man, as Weatherday's music isn't written for a female (or any gendered) audience. The average height of trans men in the USA is 5' 5", which is close to my observed average height of men at the show

Please peer review in the comments section below and don't ban me pls mods

Nobody ever says this about mediocre white women, or any POC of any gender

Seems to me that these people want to date people of high social status/privilege in society - and due to mediocre white men's complete lack of any highly positive qualities - by virtue of being "mediocre" - can more easily be stripped back to only being viewed as white and a man as the sole standing "positive qualities", making them a more pure symbol of status/privilege
