I work a physical/tactile job in healthcare. My job won’t be in danger until robotics dramatically advance and cheapen. AI could conceptually do my job, but the physicality is missing. A lot of healthcare careers are this way. Not all of them are though, so be wise in your choice!

I’m really sorry, dude. I really wish corporations weren’t so soulless. :(

…yes, and? I don’t get what your comment is trying to get at. I’m sorry that I’m not an uber paranoid luddite. I use modern tech. The name is in jest.

I got one of those automatic litter robots recently and this is what I named it

Interesting. I didn’t hear this part. Do you have more on this backstory? I watched a video from chair girl, but she didn’t mention instigating anything. I mean I definitely wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to admit it lol.

She got fired for this video, unfortunately. :(

Who is out here calling these “two way mirrors” and why?

Does anyone have a link to the original scientific paper?

Can confirm. Got my first tattoo during a bad time. Now I keep getting more lol.

Wow no I’m dumb I somehow skipped that part of the sentence sorry!!!

Have you ever heard of EMDR therapy? This really reminds me of this. It’s a newer therapy that is geared towards trauma. They do this weird thing where they have the participants move their eyes back and forth while thinking of their trauma. People seem to be torn on whether or not the eye movements themselves help or if it’s just the nature of performing an action while doing so. Kind of sounds like a similar concept to me.

I feel like they somehow made it worse.

I have heard the biggest risk of the surgery is basically “permanent” dry eyes. Might not sound like a big deal but to me it sounds like torture.

What’s the relation of this gif in your post to the static photo? It’s this an ad in the Duolingo app or something? It’s hard to make the connection to that. And this part of the gif is small and in the corner. All you need next time is a bit more of a description!

I clicked on the post instead of scrolling by and I am still incredibly confused.

Sadly mine doesn’t seem to work properly. Nothing in that region does.

Me irl.

Sad thing is that having a spouse doesn’t at all stop a hell of a lot of people. To be clear, I’m not saying this is limited to men…all genders do this. I’ve personally never understood why. If you don’t want to be with your significant other, break up with them. It’s a zillion times worse to betray their trust and intimacy and then break up anyway when they find out.

Right…the idea isn’t to make it foolproof, it’s just to make a barrier. People generally go for easier targets over ones with a small barrier. If you have two bikes next to each other in public, one with a bike lock and one with no lock at all, the casual thief is way more likely to steal the one without a lock. Bike locks can easily be broken, but they serve as a deterrent.

I deliberately use the print as image feature if I don’t want someone to be able to select text or search the document (like if I’m sending something with sensitive info as an attachment to an email). Most of the time, I have that option disabled so the document can be searchable and text can be copied from it.
