Personally, I suspect AI helped him write that post to the first place so it doesn't surprise me that it sounds incredibly corporate and "linked in" cuz that's what it would be matching.

DefinitelyNotAFae LinkThe Onion: Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto“I have to admit I felt a little weird as I prepared to toss this flaming incendiary device through [Altman’s] front window, but the recipe explicitly stated that this was an essential step to get that creamy, velvety risotto texture. I guess I didn’t know any better. I mean, I’ve never made risotto before.

I don't think it's a good example of an invention that took jobs given that very long and complex global history. And even if it's just thinking about western tooth care you're looking at over 400 years of toothbrushes.

My realtor also pointed things out to me if I didn't catch them, but it was not that hard. I just wouldn't have said shit to their realtor at an open house or something.
Oh I do love a really narrow table for a hallway though. They're very handy for putting stuff on or putting them behind a couch.

Comment on Do I not need to use blue light filter on my screens if I already have eyeglasses with Anti-Reflective coating? in ~talk
DefinitelyNotAFae LinkAfaik the anti reflective coating is entirely different from being a "Blue Blocker" style lens. It more reduces glare and keeps the light from bouncing off your glasses anime character style....Afaik the anti reflective coating is entirely different from being a "Blue Blocker" style lens.

Whether you need it or not is a separate issue I can't answer.

One of them was the spiritual successor to super Mario RPG IMO but they've all been fun.
There's no other connection though, it's just a reference

JMS himself is basically the only writer (a relatively few episodes are written by others but he wrote this one and most of them and did canon approval and stuff on those others)
He never referenced the comic in his conversations about this episode online (they've been collected but are full of spoilers so shh) that I can find though so I think it's the original reference he's making with the psi corps.
(He also stated Ironheart won't come back because that's too big of a power level. I won't confirm if things stay that way or not)

DefinitelyNotAFae Link ParentI am reminded... (The golem speaks with capital letters) Killing less than 2.338 people gets the death penalty in some states. And yet we're so much more accommodating of those who kill indirectly...I am reminded... (The golem speaks with capital letters)
Do you understand what I'm saying?"
shouted Moist. "You can't just go around killing people!""Why Not? You Do." The golem lowered his arm.
"What?" snapped Moist. "I do not! Who told you that?"
"I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly.
"I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!"
"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.
Killing less than 2.338 people gets the death penalty in some states. And yet we're so much more accommodating of those who kill indirectly if they're making other people a lot of money in the process.
Hell, now you can bet on those deaths on Polymarket at the same time. It's fine!

DefinitelyNotAFae Link ParentWhen you say "the same game" which specific one are you thinking of that you should play? (There are so many I just found this phrasing odd!)When you say "the same game" which specific one are you thinking of that you should play?
(There are so many I just found this phrasing odd!)
I mean you can not like the practice of Psychoanalysis, but if your objection is that you're not psycho so the language doesn't make sense then "Talk with Freud about it" is not an unreasonable response if it remains a snarky one.
If someone is using an operationalized definition, telling them the name is stupid doesn't really argue against anything other than the name. If you're objecting to the concept more broadly then I think it makes sense to focus less on the semantics.
IMO the term seems well defined, it's just like many academic terms intended to be considered in those spaces and with that underpinning of theory.
Layoffs cause harm - layoffs because shareholders want to make more money and so employees who used to be able to expect a stable living and a pension or at least a severance package show up to the doors being locked and unemployment being over a week away.... How is this not systemic harm? Because that harm didn't break bones is it non violent?
This is a struggle I have with the term violence vs harm myself but if defined for the purposes of a conversation (such as with an academic term), it's not productive to focus on the definition IMO.
