Comment on What are some antiquated things that most people still do out of a force of habit, or that are now unnecessary but have lasted culturally? in ~talk
Tatia Link ParentThey're probably just used to talking to my mother on the phone. It takes about five good byes before I can hang up. That wouldn't make for compelling viewing lol.They're probably just used to talking to my mother on the phone. It takes about five good byes before I can hang up.

Hopefully this new Help me Write feature will be able to nail the correct tone, because ChatGPT is awful at it.

Comment on Final 2023 Oscar predictions in ~movies
Tatia LinkI'm shocked at the best actor prediction, because stats don't lie, but I thought Brendan Fraser killed it. I'm also kind of over anyone playing a "musician" role winning the category. I did think...I'm shocked at the best actor prediction, because stats don't lie, but I thought Brendan Fraser killed it. I'm also kind of over anyone playing a "musician" role winning the category. I did think Austin Butler was good, but I'm not convinced he was better than Fraser.

Comment on What are the ethical consequences of immortality technology? in ~humanities

Scientists are making strides storing data on DNA, but even that isn't 'immortal' and has storage degradation. And let's say your brain data does last on its storage medium, is there any guarantee that there will be a program out there that can read it? I mean, this data will probably need a database somewhere in there, will we use SQL as the backbone? Will SQL even be readable in 100 years?

Comment on Americanisms the British public can't bloody stand in ~humanities
Tatia LinkThat's rich, coming from a country that brought us such gems as "that's your one" instead of "that's yours". Or saying "I like them ones" instead of "I like those". How about how some British use...That's rich, coming from a country that brought us such gems as "that's your one" instead of "that's yours". Or saying "I like them ones" instead of "I like those". How about how some British use the Royal we? "Make us a cup of tea, will you?" Us? Are there two of you?

A Stephen King adaptation... it could go so wrong or it could go so right. Haha.

I enjoyed team sports, even though I would almost always get picked near the end of team selection. I liked learning about the rules of different sports, and trying something new. I just hated running laps around the field.

Comment on Have you ever served on a jury, or faced a jury trial? in ~talk
Tatia Link ParentIt's interesting how a single person can be so influential in a jury trial. You basically dictated the entire outcome of the trial.It's interesting how a single person can be so influential in a jury trial. You basically dictated the entire outcome of the trial.
I've never understood the "pay me for commute time" argument. I mean, if that's the case, I'll live the farthest allowable distance away. Why pay higher rents to live close to your job when you can get paid more by living farther away. Plus you're fucked if you do live further away and you really want the job. The hiring managers will be factoring in the cost of commute.
