The US always tries to do what they think others are doing. Half of their crazy ideas are because they heard a rumor and/or assumed the Soviets were doing it. Mind control, truth serums, ESP, cat spies.

Nah, the way Microsoft and Edge work still enrages me. I just use both Chrome and Firefox atm, with Chrome behind my VPN and Firefox split tunneled. I’m still on 10, but when I have the freedom to do so I’m going to switch to Linux. I can’t just up and do it at the moment because I work through my computer and also game through it, so I need to have a ton of things ensured workable before I switch. That requires time and testing, and in an ideal environment a second system to run in parallel, which I cannot do atm.

I’ve heard our work may be purchasing work laptops for us, so I might be able to do my switch then.

People speak weird all the time, and LLMs are trained on people. Some aren’t native speakers, some just like to omit verbs, nouns, or tenses when it seems obvious and they want to be expedient, some just do it for fun or laziness (see, l33t speak and or early texting, typos).

LLMs are trained on human input, so of course it on occasion uses our bad habits. Thinking like your comment suggests is what gets people who really wrote their own stuff in trouble, because people think they can identify stuff like this more than they actually can.

Someone is into OP or whoever is in gold, at least for now. Even if you don’t find it cool, flatter to keep conversation and interest. It could be genuine as in finding interest in anything your crush is into interesting, or be just practical.

Also, people are attractive/interesting when they speak about stuff they’re passionate about. Lots of people will listen to you blab on about something they know nothing about or care nothing about if you interest them in your delivery.

I’m under the impression that those countries are more convenient for the company, either having locations or it being more convenient to arrange pay or something, based on the inclusion of American rather than an ethnic background.

Edit also it says nationality rather than Heritage, so it’s pointing to what country you have citizenship with.

Huh. Turns out I use most of my games as toys, not games. I rarely finish games, usually getting a lot of stuff done, high leveled, etc, then just enjoying it until I decide ro start over. I also regularly go back to games like Ark, 7 days, City Skylines, Civ VI(but often strip out ein conditions so I can keep playing), FFXIV, etc.

Sure I make short term goals that I complete, but usually not done everything and complete story to win unless doing so gives me something else to do, like New Game+.

I’m not sure I’ve ever worked a 9-5 honestly. Always 8-5, 8:30-5:30, or random other 9 hour (or more, worked 3/12.5 once) days. If we can’t get rid of the 40 hour week I guess I’d prefer 4 10s, but 4 8s would be better.
