I had nearly the same thing happen to me once. I spent 13 weeks eating nearly every meal from an institutional cafeteria. All veggies were canned, 90% of everything else was fried, probably a solid half of my diet was bread. When my friends got me from the airport, we went to dinner together and I had a very tasty quinoa salad. An hour later my guts were rumbling in a way I haven’t felt before or since. I spent that first night on or feet from the toilet.

“What did you expect”

ehhh, some classic jokes:

what do you call an elephant crossed with a rhino?

what do you call a lawyer crossed with a politician?

Your honor.

I personally look best in dresses with a fit and flare silhouette. It’s so easy to sneak pockets in those, but often designers just refuse to. I’ve personally added some to off the shelf dresses, but now I’m pretty much having dresses made for me (surprisingly cheaper than one may expect).

I am truly happy to live in the era we do though. There’s tons of resources for free structured learning that was not available even 20 years ago.

A simplified version of how LLM AI works is that it has “read” all the books in the world, and selects the most likely next word/sentence. This can look a lot like knowing, but there’s no reasoning or sythesis behind it, which is why it can’t be “taught” that baking powder leads to a more sour outcome than baking soda.

AI has no goals. The companies that program and release AI have the goals of keeping you engaged with the AI.

This is pretty close to how I think about it. AI (notably not generative) that was developed to sort bread and now is reprogrammed to detect cancer cells: Fantastic. Generative AI to search and cite multiple interacting manuals with thousands of pages each: probably ok with significant guardrails. Generative AI that drives up local electricity costs so someone can see their underage neighbor with 4 boobs: terrible. To extend your metaphor it’s like handing a glock to a toddler.

I also wonder if there’s more work that has deadlines at the level Gen Z is working at, and fewer at the level Boomers are working at. Or if there are tighter turn arounds? Like from my wife’s work, I’d guess the upper levels are on more quarterly “release” schedules while everyone else is working these 2 week sprints which by the nature of the work requires some things to take more than one sprint (which looks like missing a deadline to the tracking).

I think people with kids should date people who want kid.

I personally am child-free (also long term married so this is very hypothetical) and I wouldn’t seriously date someone who has kids from like baby-15/16 years old. If someone with children wanted to date me, I’d either question if they understand/respect my boundaries around children, or if they are an actively bad parent.

I fully agree with you and I am a morning person. I don’t understand why in an increasingly distributed world why you can’t just have bands of start times. It’s better for productivity, better for distributed relations, heck probably even better for traffic congestion.

The way that I read the person whose comment you’re replying to you clean the bathroom in 30 min weekly that’s one weeknight clean or half your weekend cleans.

I don’t think they are saying 30 min a week, but 30 min weekly tasks over multiple days (I calculate about 4 hours per week which is close to my “maintenance” cleaning)

I don’t know?!

This is close to mine (though I don’t think it’s particularly unpopular): if you are using icons, use only universal icons. Floppy disk for save, little kidergarten house drawing for home all legible and totally fine. If you have to make up your own icon for a button action, save yourself the hover/tooltip work and just put text on the button. I don’t want to have guess what two boxes on top of each other with an arrow on the right curving between them is supposed to mean.

It takes you to the older (less ad ridden) interface. I preferred it because it is not infinite scroll.

I was also shadow banned and the best I can figure out is because I kept using old (dot) reddit.

Or a sensory processing disorder.

Honestly I think my buns are usually one of my colder areas on the surface. All that good insulation.
