Somehow, the greatest music ever made is always from your senior year of high school.

The locals call it “cornhenge”

I think he’s trying to say there should be more taboo. That there should be a lot more restrictions than just consent.

I’m glad he’s dead.

You’re getting downvoted, but I experienced much of the same. So much misogyny and, looking back on it, toxic masculinity. I vividly remember the bit where they used tape to illustrate “purity” of not having multiple partners.

This would’ve been the late 90s, US Midwest.

ETA: I wouldn’t say it went quite as far as describing women as “submissive cum dumpsters”, but it definitely implied the women don’t enjoy sex and only did it to satisfy their partner.

Do you understand the code, what it’s doing, and why it’s doing that? If not, then do not use an LLM for it.

It’s literally in the sub headline of the linked article

Doctors have long recommended that infants avoid peanut products. But in 2017, experts officially reversed that guidance, and food allergies decreased sharply.

I have no idea where you came up with what you posted.

Yes, but that’s only an issue if you are interested in those other communities. In this case, the instance is dedicated to anime, so it’s only an issue if you want to browse those other anime communities.

Amazingly, it was also the kind of thing he could’ve vaporwared away, just by (mostly) following policy. All he had to do was claim (from the beginning) that there are ongoing investigations, agency policy is to not release info about those investigations, and then lie that there are going to be arrests really soon.

Just FYI, those are almost all on the same instance, and you can block that instance as a whole. It’s dedicated to anime, so there’s not a ton of collateral damage.

The very first line:

A loss leader (also leader) is a pricing strategy where a product is sold at a price below its market cost to stimulate other sales of more profitable goods or services.

So the answer to their question is “Yes, a loss leader needs to lead to something”. I have no idea why you think they have no idea what they’re talking about.

Upvoted because it is, indeed, an unpopular opinion.

Much of what you said is true, at least in terms of the promises (hype) from AI companies. Unpopular because most people (at least around here) don’t believe it can ever really deliver on those promises.

Again, kid logic. Plus, many young parents don’t know (or care) how to properly cook veggies anyway. It’s a choice between canned (and usually salted) veggies, or similarly mushy, over-microwaved fresh/frozen veggies with little seasoning or flavor. It’s not like the green beans are roasted with olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar.

You’re overlooking an important detail - kids love that cheap, shitty food. It was also quick and easy to make, so their tired, overworked parents were easily persuaded to make it.

Naturally there’s a line where it becomes too much, but even rich kids love hot dogs and Mac & cheese.

Part of this is exactly why your boss exists. Raise your concerns with them, and get them on your side. They can also (vaguely) let you know if you are alone on it, or if it’s affecting the entire department.

Your boss is also in a much better position to talk to the other guy’s boss, or someone further up the chain. It also removes the emotional component (similar to how even lawyers should not represent themselves in court), and keeps it focused and level.

There are a lot of other good comments in this thread. Bring them to your boss as possible solutions, and let them fight the battle for you. It also shows you have a desire to solve this (rather than just gripe), and gives them options they may not have considered.

Christians are the only ones that believe in Satan.

No, satanists do not believe in Satan.

Depending on your location and situation, you may have access to a nurse line or fast telemedicine (basically a zoom call with a random doctor). They can diagnose many ailments remotely, and at least tell you what the next steps should be.

In some places, yes, probably. It would most likely fall under anti-SLAPP protections.

IANAL though, so it could be more complicated.

Are you able to physically replace the HDD (preferably with an SSD)? If so, you can use the (Win10) Media Creation Tool to create a USB installer.

When it prompts for a key, just skip it. If you have an OEM mass activation laptop (i.e. anything from a major brand), it’ll activate automatically after. If, for whatever reason it still doesn’t activate, you’ll have a nag screen telling you to activate. It won’t significantly limit what you do.

It’s nearly certain. OEM activation has been stored on the motherboard since XP. XP-7 required a matching OEM cert (easily found online), while 8+ have a unique license in the BIOS. For these, you just reinstall the OS, skip the key during setup, and let it connect afterwards for all of the updates and whatnot.

Now, licenses to other apps, such as Word, are not so simple.

I need to clarify that you are talking about Lenovo’s consumer-grade lines, like the Ideapad. Their enterprise line (Thinkpad) is completely different.
