I mean subject matter expert at work. I’ve had multiple times where I told somebody the answer to something. Going to have them paste their question and the response from AI in the chat after… ‘confirming’ what I said.

It said the display of my 2018 is recent and high end, lol

This looks like the same person at different ages to me. Like give a little leeway for like makeup department, lighting, and camera.

Does that data exclusively focus on the last 6 years, with companies reporting profits that put previous years to shame? Going to guess no. Does that data exclusively focus on just the US, or does it add in nations that it would work.

Because here’s nvidia. From 2012-2019, they operated at 1 billion a quarter, ended on 3 billion in 2019. They did 68 billion last quarter.

You want me to post a bunch of other stocks? I can and they’ll all tell the same story. If wages go up, then these companies are going to increase prices. Have you seen gas? Eggs? The slightest bit that might hurt their proffits gets passed to the customer and then a little more for more profit. Should we talk about how housing costs have gone up? All the houses near my parents, all doubled to quadrupled in “value” on Realtor.com one day. A house that was maybe 112K jumped to 300K in a single day, all over. Or car prices being closer to 100k than 20k.

2018, I probably would have agreed with you. Plenty of evidence in Europe of that working. But, this is America. We have data that shows, unless you solve the root problem first… you’ve not solved the problem. The recent trends, in America, clearly state that these CEOS, these people who went from maybe having a billion dollars (which is already pretty fucked) to being 100-billionaires to trying to become the first trillionaire… Maybe, it’s time to accept reality and increasing the minimum wage by itself, won’t do shit. You’ll just have 10$ coffees or $25 Happy Meals.

His ramblings remind me of those crap videos people churn out. “You’ll never believe the last one! Only a genius can figure it out!”

The first seems reasonable, until the reasoning is given, which reveals the whole message is batshit

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Like, expressing yourself to someone you’re dating, like “This made me uncomfortable,” generally should be ok. This proved to be the exception.

someone getting upset at being told they are lucky to be with the person they are with is kinda full of themselves and reading way too much into it

Well, what if the bartender was being a piece of shit, say someone who has cerebral palsy, saying they’re even lucky to be with someone… Would you still say that person is full of themselves? I think telling anyone they’re “lucky” to be with someone, from an outside perspective, is intentionally demeaning to one of the two people. Now, if someone in a relationship says they feel lucky to have found someone, that’s different. But clearly, it’s open to interpretation. And changes in context.

Little personal story to add, I dated a girl a while back, and ALL her friends and co-workers would say how lucky she was and how good I was for her. We all knew why, she was overweight and I wasn’t. They didn’t even just hint and maybe I read that wrong, they were BLUNT about it. I was doing home cooking for us instead of doing fast food. I worked out, did 5k races, I was in great shape. And I was exposing her to that life and she was noticeably losing weight. But the look on her face when people said “she was lucky”, was defeat.

My mom regularly got after me to make my bed. I never saw the point. I’m wasting my time to make it look neat… for no one, only for me to mess it up the following night. I didn’t see the point then, I don’t see the point now.

So my solution to not getting yelled at. I stopped sleeping under the covers. I just slept on top. For a while, she thought I was making my bed, but eventually I wore out a spot on the top of the comforter. That’s when she figured it out. Then she was made I wasn’t using the blankets for their intended use (to keep someone warm). I as a child, would rather freeze than make the damn bed.

People are way to fragile today I feel. When I was a kid, I watched this with my parents. It was perfectly fine then and it should be now.

Fucking christ, I was hoping this was a joke. Nope, fucking scalped soup on eBay. I hope scalpers stub the same toe every morning. Scalping is not a job, scalping is not part of the process, scalping just makes everything worse for everyone.

So you can buy a mini van/suv, BUT say you have a truck! Because beer beer, truck truck, girls in tight jeans

It’s a large number of family members. It sucks, because I grew up looking up to these people, only to lose respect because they believe whatever they see on Facebook.

How tf am I the bad guy here? I said, unless the busted system is fixed (aka the root problem) we’re just going to be back at this exact same thing in a few years. That’s massive inflation. Which you called, fixing the root problem, requiring a magic wand.

But somehow I’m the bad guy? Because I dare say the short-term fix isn’t a long-term fix?

First 2 sentenses are reasonable. But then… You get to everything else, and it just falls off a cliff. Assuming this is real, of course.

It won’t help. People will still work two jobs.

Every place in America is going to do one thing and one thing only. Every last place is going to jack up prices because they are not going to take the hit. Why not charge you $20 for a small coffee. Minimum wage is $25 what does it matter. It’s still cost less than minimum wage… Why shouldn’t they jack up rent, insurance, groceries, etc. Corporate greed isn’t going to go away just because minimum wage goes up. Corporate greed is going to match and then beat anything. All you’re going to be saying in a couple years after this goes in if it went in is that we need to raise minimum wage again.

Unless something is done about the busted system, all were doing is making profit numbers go up (despite the value of the dollar tanking).

Water is not subjective? Interesting? So water will freeze exactly at 0 and boil at 100, and it won’t matter about say pressure? Or whats in the water, like say salt? And pretty sure I’ve seen videos and done it myself where you bring pure water below 0 and it doesn’t freeze. Suppose this video is just fake then? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nse-LUpVQu8

Seems water is a tad bit subjective. Like the rules for when it freezes and boils is… not exactly constant. I mean, they are, under ideal conditions on Earth. But… ya know, that sort of goes against the circlejerk…

I’ve not played those, do you have a screen shot or something showing this? I’ve seen the shooting, and I’ve seen the arrow mini game thing, but I’ve not seen both at the same time.

So you blindly hate people from a country because of what it’s “leaders” are doing? What other countries do you arbitrarily hate their people? Just curious how deep this national prejudice/bigotry goes.

I sure as fuck didn’t vote for him, bold claim to imply I did. And you avoided answering the fucking question I asked. What would you have us do, realistically? Answer the fucking question instead of using blind prejudice/bigotry as a defense.

I can’t think of a single game that has a mini puzzle while shooting. Plenty of games with those at independent times.

So, what would you exactly have us do? Realistically. Seriously, why do the citizens get blamed?

By God, your a hero! I assume…

It’s a shame only you will know what the prior timeline was like, but it had to have been horrible.
