Well, you will now — a bunch of people saw this post and they’re gonna make it happen.

I don’t feel a desire to kiss Brindle or any member of their team after reading this

Brindle’s team steamily defined kissing as a “non-agonistic interaction involving directed, intraspecific, oral–oral contact with some movement of the lips/mouthparts and no food transfer”.

Correct. The phrase “The White House” refers metonymically to the entire executive branch of the United States government.

I think there is a way that we could implement genAI that is good and reasonable and useful – training only on the creative commons, digitalizing existing public domain books and releasing them for general consumption, carefully building harnesses and testing for safety before release, building data centers in unused areas with green energy. We, however, have decided to deploy it in the most harmful way possible instead because a few tech ceos looked at the output and immediately went insane and decided they should build god.

I guess this is where I’ve gotten confused — I’ve never been rich enough to afford a house big enough to accommodate a dining room and a kitchen spacious enough for a table. Either it was small enough that the kitchen and dining room were a single area, or the dining room is separate and I didn’t have space for a table in the kitchen. To me, this is like talking about “breakfast nook politics” – like, what rich people are out here talking politics in a breakfast nook?

Wait, have they been talking about dining room tables this whole time and I’m just now finding out? I thought it was like, literally a table in your kitchen, like you’d have a dining room table and a kitchen table.

Edit: I guess I’ve just been dodging this by calling the corner of my kitchen a nook when I lived in apartments that were too small for a dedicated dining room? I dunno why I assumed a kitchen table would be a table for doing kitchen tasks on and not eating.

I don’t really get the obsession with kitchen tables. Maybe it’s because I’ve never had a table in my kitchen. It really seems like it’d get in the way.

The top-performing messages we tested have a simple formula. They focus on Americans’ day-to-day struggles to pay for rent and groceries, and the widespread frustration with prices that rise faster than working-class wages. They insist that working people should be able to give their kids a better shot. They promise to bring costs down, make the biggest corporations pay their fair share, and crack down on the people who game the system. Ultimately, they tell a simple story: hard work should pay off. We call this winning combination “kitchen-table populism”.

I struggle to imagine a way one could create 300 posts per day that would be healthy.

Hello I am engaging with your comment

I think there’s merit to it — there’s just some stuff you need to know to be a successful person in the world. If you’re a couple generations removed from me, or from a culture that’s significantly different from mine, your corpus of “basic knowledge” will be significantly different from mine, and that’s okay.

There’s a way to do it, and there’s a way not to do it. If you’re reposting something that directly solicits feedback and you don’t know enough to be able to respond, that’s no fun. If you’re looking over reddit, carefully selecting interesting content, and hosting good conversation about it, that’s very healthy. Given you’re using words like “large scale” and “direct,” I assume you mostly have the unhealthy kind in mind.

Nostalgia is a recession indicator

It’s worth noting that in the ~2 weeks since this was published, Bun 1.4 was actually released. I don’t know how the release has gone.

Lentils are probably better if you mean to replace the ground beef, but if you’re looking to supplement it, my favorite addition is hominy.

One thing you can try is to set hashtags on your posts so that users from other fedi softwares can find you. Most of the woso folks I see in !nwsl@lemmy.world are mastodon users. I dunno if lemmy supports it yet, but piefed does.

Are employers able to do that without having to deduct taxes?

No. You can pay employees their wages with things other than money, which is often called being paid “in kind,” but the person being so paid still owes taxes on the monetary value of their compensation. Being paid in RAM would be extremely inconvenient because you would still have to pay your taxes in your local currency.

I too wish Reddit would federate, but that’s not happening, and forcibly doing it yourself doesn’t really seem to be accomplishing your goals.

Idk what to tell you. I mostly like what you repost from Reddit, but saying all this is absolutely making the situation worse. It feels like you could make some simple changes, keep posting most of what you do, and make a lot of folks a lot happier.

Two roads diverge in a yellow wood? Bruh you obviously gotta take the one less travelled by. ezpz

Iirc, fedi bean posting predates lemmy, but I have no idea where it comes from originally.
