I really hope the EU and other countries start blocking Twitter and censoring this oligarchical fascist from spreading his shit on them. It needs to happen immediately, not after it’s too late.

Everyone shit on Elon for buying and tanking Twitter, but his investment bought the election and has reached billions around the world. Don’t treat him like someone that’s just making wild statements to be brushed off. People will agree and it gives them a voice that will spread. Shut him down before you can’t.

Those that know, know. I don’t like the extra attention on an arbitrary day. I also don’t message people happy birthday. Only if I see you in person or you’re my wife and I’m away.

Snuffleupabugs.

Actually yes you should. I’m gonna take it a bit further and suggest the actual normal person you need to talk to is a therapist. You read as someone who’s got some shit they need unpacked, and AI is not the tool to do that.

Can anyone explain to me what makes TikTok and now this RedNote so much better than the other short form options (YT, Insta… others) that people think learning a completely different and unfamiliar language is not only viable, but the best option?

I want to learn another language for travel purposes, which to me makes sense. I’ve never had the itch to learn one so I could use a social media platform.

I’m not a musk defender, but…

Defends Musk.

One of my managers told me that I need to use words like “will” instead of “should” when talking discovery with clients. I told him only Siths deal in absolutes, which he didn’t like as much as I did.

I’m not a yes man, and I’m not going to lie about something I can’t guarantee. If something goes wrong, I’m the one that looks like a lying failure and gets to fix it. My clients are internal business users, not actual external customers. Words have meanings, and it’s important to use the correct ones when communicating important information.

Joke’s on him. I quit before it was Meta.

I think that exactly what they are saying, but it misses the whole point. Yes, either protections would be great to prevent against this and no it’s not illegal, but it’s heinous and TikTok should be lambasted. The poster is essentially victim blaming because of their assumed jobs, pay, and because their misfortune is not illegal. It’s just a really bad take, even if it’s not technically wrong.

You’re not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?

I agree up to the point that someone could use Facebook for the parties and stuff, and then not use any of the main page stuff. I have Messenger because that’s the prime option for those I know, but I don’t use it for anything but messaging and don’t have a Facebook.

I will give this a good look. Thanks for the detailed response. I’m working on degoogling, but some products I’m not willing to move on from because the quality is just better, so I’m happy to have something to look into here.

Same result, way less effort.

Still fun

Can you give me an alternative that you truely think is better than google maps, not just alternative, something that is objectively better?

I definitely agree, it’s all contextual. I worked in manufacturing for almost a decade which is very much process based. If something went wrong, we needed to know why so that it could be prevented.

A lot of the work I’ve done has been project based, and I usually think of the people involved as the team. Unless there’s an outlier, the general successes and failures are team wins and losses. These sort of questions obviously aren’t for all situations, but when used properly, it can bring about engagement. Even from critics, at least when given the floor to speak, they may reveal some truths that need addressing.

I have talked like this to children, which is good for them, but also condescendingly when I’ve felt it was warranted. I like to think in this situation it was a ‘moment to grow’ situation rather than condescension.

I didn’t think I agree that it’s condescending. To me it’s just your cause analysis. If I had people reporting to me, and someone fucked up, I would want to know how we’re going to prevent it from happening again. To me it’s just cutting to the chase and problem solving.

I think this example is used in the context that something preventable happened. You’re more likely to get a better response if asking in the former than the latter.

100% the first person I thought of, as a non watcher of pro wrestling, was The Rock. That’s for sure partially a product of my age and childhood influence, but people who have only seen him in movies still know him as The Rock. It’s an influence that transcends pop culture. To this day people are still trying to figure what he was cooking…

If they allowed users to select a default, almost everyone would select Google maps and get a better experience. By not giving the user a choice everyone loses, because Google maps is still going to be the top option. I’m surprised that this functionality either doesn’t exist already or isn’t allowed, because capitalism.

Now that you have the information, you can go find additional sources.
