idk - only 63% of Americans support single-payer healthcare, nearly half of Americans still haven't caught on at least

Honestly this kind of attitude hurts workers way more than it helps them "well yeah I could get an extra $10k a year, but Bob over there might get $15k, so no deal."
And if your coworker wants to spend an extra hour in their car (even if it's paid), that sounds like their problem, not yours
Yeah working from home I already have my own office, just a few steps from my bedroom, with no manager looking over my shoulder, a fully stocked kitchen just downstairs, and 0 distractions while I work
Stop trying to make return to office happen, it won't for anyone with negotiating power, and those are the most valuable employees. Try to make your employees go back to office and the best ones will just go work for someone else
Yeah the biggest practical use of the current generation of LLMs is online astroturphing and viral marketing. AIs aren't reliable enough (yet) for things that require correctness, but they're damn good at saying a thing you want said over and over in countless different ways.
Customer service (aka customer support chat bots) will also try to make use of it, no doubt, but I'm skeptical about how much they'll actually trust it for that. All it'll take is one person figuring out how to make the Chipotle chat bot spout nazi propoganda or some shit before they go back to "dumb" chat bots lol
I don't think many are doubting that AI is going places, it's the folks who are talking about AI taking over all our jobs (particularly when they're talking about high skill jobs) within a few years that we're making fun of.
Yeah, there's plenty of other examples of toxicity, but the Sync discussions are the easiest to point to example.
Ultimately, Lemmy has most of the same issues with condescension, toxicity, and pointless argument as reddit did
Are you kidding - they basically invented the problem. They were one of the first to move to the "rent your software" model way back when
You wouldn’t get articles like this if all that mattered were individual traits: https://rescuedoghome.com/huskies-in-shelters/amp/
I can find you loads of .com articles that say that jewish space lasers are starting forest fires, what's your point? If you've got an actual study I'd be happy to read it.
I'ts funny that you're throwing a fit about anecdotal evidence when all you've done is say what you feel is correct. The other guy posted an actual study that shows that breed is a poor predictor of behavior. If we're all so stupid and you're so obviously correct, it should take all of a few seconds to find a good source to back up your point - something a bit better than "This one shelter in bum-fuck nowhere Florida says Huskies are hard".
No one is arguing that breed has no impact on the patterns of behavior you see in large populations of dogs. But that it's a much poorer predictor of behavior than people like you tend to think, and that you're much better off taking the dog as an individual.
If you tried to make my husky drive a sled all day, she'd fucking hate it. And I've met plenty other huskies that are the same way. You claimed that
If you have a working dog breed, you need to maintain certain a level of activity or mental stimulation in order to keep that dog healthy and not bored
I only mentioned my husky specifically because you were speaking in absolutes, so anecdotal evidence is really all that's needed to refute it. If you said something like "many dogs who come from traditionally working breeds require blah blah blah", or something similarly non-absolute, I'd have probably agreed with you.
Really, all you have to do is go to your local dog park and hang out for a while to find loads of counter-examples to breed stereotypes, and that's really all we're saying here. You can't just look at a Husky, a Golden Retriever, a Cocker Spaniel, or whatever, and assume that you can determine that dogs behavior just from knowing their breed. Period. If you've got anything more productive to add to the conversation than "God you people are stupid", I'd be happy to continue to talk about this, but if you're just gonna continue being a dick, then this'll be my last comment. Totally your call
You might be willing to pay an absurd amount, but you're definetely in the minority there, most people will definetely not be willing to pay more than $60 for a remaster
Honestly the only reason I ever have to listen to their opinions is people angrily reposting them
Wonder how many of their fans first heard about them because someone who hates them posted their shit
That's the thing - loads of people are also willing to shell out for a port
Why make a decent profit by remaking the game, when you can have a small team port the game over a few weeks and rake in basically 100% profit
I'd wager the difference between the number of copies that would see for a remake vs for a port is depressingly low
I work in the insurance industry and I 100% agree with this.
The only time it's wise to take out an insurance policy is when
A) It's legally required (though this is sometimes due to lobbying by the insurance companies themselves)
B) When you absolutely will not be able to actually pay for a potential, but necessary expense by yourself (cancer treatments and stuff like that)
So Health Insurance, Auto Insurance (even if your car is cheap and self-insurable, the car you hit may not be), Home-owners insurance and stuff like that are necessary and generally a good financial bet, even if they are crooked af.
Any "micro-insurances" though? All total scams. Travel insurance, phone insurance (or "Extended Warranties"), Apple Care, all that kind of shit is 100% going to cost you more money to have than it'll save you - unless you get really really lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it). You'd be better off spending what you'd pay on those insurance premiums on a hand of blackjack, I'll bet the odds would be slightly more in your favor that way
