Yeah, the people leading the “AGI will save us” are the same as super church pastors.
They don’t believe it, they just want their bank account limitless before they go into oblivion.

Right but also people rarely expect constant 100% eye contact. The occasional glance to show connection is actually more than enough for basically everyone and can be learned to done pretty easily. Its not needed but even the simple glance of eye contact makes people feel way more seen and heard.
Then you can just talk past each other the rest of the time as is standard.

Its never been easier to be lazy and unplanning about things and use other peoples time to try and cure your own boredom.

Some do some don’t. I love to play the mash buttons and hope for a real person game but more often lately it just ignores you or says that isn’t an input and keeps you locked in the automated, cause their just isn’t a person on the other side being paid to actually pick up a phone.

Yeah I can do this. And am not even 30 yet.

Nope.
It would probably help if phone calls still really existed as a method of getting stuff done but the amount of places not bothering / having automated / foreign staff for their call centers makes them basically pointless and a completely different skill set compared to old school charisma and phone etiquette.

Patience and stubbornness to deal with the bullshit and still keep the effort applied will win.

Not some skill that feels nostalgic and forgotten like phone calls or cursive will save you from the onslaught of time.

Well I I imagine the rest of us think it’s pretty self explanatory.

What don’t you get about tattooing the name of a Brand and politician and an arbitrary year on your face, while playing iSpy with your social media posts?

Wait… No… I said it out loud… Nah, include me in confused.

half the time of the monkeys

So are we saying the Lemurs are smarter or dumber for bring back the humans in that amount of time?

We need to invest in our citizens, cause suffering struggling people will pick any easy option to try and make themselves feel safe. Its not just education but work and healthcare and community and local events.

Its just that we have done everything to not bother spending money and steal back every tax dollar for the rich to hold onto.

It’s seen as financially “smart” by all parties for decades now. We need to go back to trying to build society instead of deciding it’s done and getting as much money back from it.

Well then it can’t be the worst… Hmm we will have to do some digging for worst Batman movie but let’s start by accepting bat nipples and giant bombs that say “boom!” on them automatically elevate the movies.

Decimals don’t matter for you and you are pushing that to everyone as a way to delegitimize my point.

I use Celsius and they matter to me. I can and do notice a difference between setting my thermostat to 21.5 vs 22 vs 22.5. You don’t whatever.

I said I was using Celsius but because I had a complaint you decided I was outside of your accepted user group and my statement was BS.

Its bullshit.

Meh I’m about 50/50 4 air conditioners in. Half degrees has not been all that uncommon and it’s up and down arrows to adjust it. I don’t get the handwaving of legitimate points of comtention to make Celsius seem more perfect. Everything has its flaws. It’s completely fine to admit that.

They make really just fun absurdist comics. The endless popcorn one always gets a chuckle out of me and makes my day a little better.

No this was an airconditioner built for and used in Japan only. It’s only in Celsius. It just uses decimal point options for finer control. I have been in plenty of places that only use Celsius and use decimals especially higher than 20s.

And still doesn’t change the drastic change between the whole numbers the higher you go vs lower temps.

Edit: literally my fever thermometer uses decimals to help you get a proper temperature reading between normal and fever.

I’ve been all over the world. Trust me seeing 21.6 or other decimals is not uncommon you and others are really just pushing hard on the ideas that there is no flaws and none of the quirks of Celsius.

I literally just set an air conditioner to 20.5°C. I don’t get why lie like this.

I’m gonna be honest. I love Celsius for the the whole perfect math reasons with calories and water based measurement…

But the curve on temps is a pain when all the nice temperatures require using a decimal place to decide just how slightly above or below pleasant it is but cold is basically everything from 16°C to -30°C And then decimals really matter when hotter than pleasant temps.

Whole rounded integers are just so vastly different depending how high or low you are in Celsius.

This is phenomenal, best shit I’ve seen all day and now I need a special of just Carl getting transported through all the cartoon network shows.

“I ain’t saying there’s nothing wrong with that. I am down with the Lesbians!”

But uhhh, you keep saying some shit about not being women but hippy dippy light, I am pretty sure that big one is just two midgets stacked on top of each other and the little guy over here keeps saying he is his own mother or some shit."

Oh watchmen for sure but it’s also about how bullshit the status quo is and how a crazy man can still fuck up the smartest plans by keeping a diary.

Yes they have a culture of thinking pale is better but actually so did most of the world for a while. It meant you didn’t work outside.

But that’s more about using lightening and skin “brightening” products cause getting a tan is completely fine in the summer.

The umbrella is just cause try existing in that kind of heat and humidity and you will realize adding portable shade that also keeps heat directly off your head like a hat is a godsend and can keep sun stroke from happening.

Well then you’d love my flower garden cause it has all those and more cause I just saw the praying mantis eating well hiding among my wildflowers.
