  • What unethical life hack would you recommend to others?

  • Many places punish employees for excessive "loss" in their departments. Sometimes explicitly.

    Even ignoring that places will price "loss" into their products, I think it's important to consider that this can affect "the little guy" too. Disproportionately at times, imo

  • I do get where you're coming from, but there are a lot of roads where the speed limit is artificially low (or temporarily lowered for no legitimate reason) for the sole purpose of collecting income from speeding fines

  • If you return it, there's a good chance that it's just getting shipped off or sold to another regular customer

  • Internet shutdown in Iran is now the longest in world history

    Jump

  • It would be very odd if the US or Israel did it, because this started when Iran wanted to stop communications among citizens who were protesting the government.

    TL;DR, yes. It was Iran. It began before the attacks on Iran (back when it was Iran attacking its own people)

  • So then a TB must be about...a metric shitton?

  • LOL...yes. should've been an Eighth, but we don't have a coin for that.

    Your math is right. I was just thinking of a Byte as $1.00 and going from there. Then remembered that bits are smaller, but they shouldn't be $1 because a single bit is not very powerful. But making it worth $1 or $0.01 would make the math messier.

    But yes. Two bits are a quarter is probably the best compromise! Lol

  • A kilobyte must have sounded like so much memory back then.

    A byte is 8 bits. Even if we want to call bits quarters ($0.25) and bytes dollars, 69KB would be $69,000! That's a lot of dollars.

    (And it's actually 1,024 or something instead of 1,000, which just increases it that much more).

    It's crazy how KBs used to be incredibly meaningful, and now we're buying multi-TB drives like they're nothing!

    EDIT: Math fail. Let's say TWO bits are a quarter...lmao

  • What's the best TV show from your country?

    Jump

  • Kim's Convenience was ruined by its last season and getting cancelled (or whatever happened to it).

    Pretend it got cancelled a season early. It's a bit of a GoT situation, but to a lesser extent.

  • TIL Saint Lucia is the only country named after a woman.

    How serious will the problems be in the future if people rely too much on AI or can't work and live without them at all?

    Jump

  • It could be understood to mean "AI [tools]", which would be plural

  • ("it" is also a pronoun")

    Jump

  • I agree, but not everyone agrees. And the problem with these "honourifics" (or whatever these are called) is that you have to get them right before the recipient heard them.

  • I think young Millennials and Zoomers said "bruh", and it was mostly used ironically.

    Younger Zoomers (I think?) started using "bro" unironically, and it caught on big time with Gen Alpha. At least from what I've heard.

  • This is hard.

    Buddy? Sounds dismissive.

    My friend? Sounds like you're a scammer or a slimy salesperson.

    Pal? Sounds mildly aggressive.

    Dude? Arguably masculine.

    Gen Alpha might have it right -- "bro" seems to be gender neutral and used by both boys and girls.

  • I just stopped using pronouns altogether.

    “Excuse me” “Thank you” “I appreciate you” “Do you know the way to San Jose”

    ALL of these have pronouns. At least one of them has multiple pronouns! Haha

  • Climate Craziness

  • To me, "believing" in climate change is like "believing" in oxygen. I don't feel the need to say I believe in it. That's fascinating
