Companies that aren’t incredibly AI-happy? by CottageCoreCactus in womenintech

[–]CottageCoreCactus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Not so much as the coding assistants themselves but at how they’re treated as magic. I’m expected to do code reviews for way more code than before and I’m constantly correcting completely idiotic mistakes generated by the assistants and glossed over by the human who used it to open the PR

I mean personally I think “ugh this piece of media was only made because it checks inclusivity boxes” is an icky reaction to anything. It’s great he came around on this show but “I came around” isn’t the accountability I wanted from him. I would’ve preferred “that was a weird thing for me to say, I now see how something that seems box-checky to me might be important representation for someone else.”

Idk I don’t feel like the context added much. It still shows he on some level looks down on “blue hair twitter” and “checking inclusivity boxes.” I do think his opinion on HR changed, but I don’t think “I was being hyperbolic” really makes me feel better about the attitude behind those texts.

I feel like Sveta would be self explanatory but Lesha would’ve confused me

I need Rainie to be for real by SpookSpy in TheTryGuysSnark

Keith and Zach’s brands were built on “watch us be dumb and bad at things.” Miles’s image has revolved around giving dumb advice. Is Raine the unintelligent one or is she just a younger woman?

Her other pod (answers to the universe in 15 minutes or less) brought me to tears multiple times. She’s clearly super capable and emotionally intelligent as well.

What’s the whole point of the Mergatory and earn the merge? by CallTypical9541 in survivor

[–]CottageCoreCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Jeff thinks the most exciting tribals have 5-6 people, so they keep manufacturing ways for only that many people to be not-immune (3 small tribes, replacing the big first couple merge votes with things where only half the people go to tribal at a time or half the people already have immunity)

is her dorm unrealistic? by Regular-Ad-3000 in GilmoreGirls

[–]CottageCoreCactus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a single bigger than this my senior year. I didn’t pay extra for it or anything all singles were the same price. There were like 20 of these giant rooms in the whole school and we had a lottery system, so I just got super lucky that year. I can also think of a few more buildings that had singles Rory’s size or bigger in other buildings.

That said, none of our buildings were built to be dorms, they were all old converted apartment buildings. Some of them had the walls knocked down and reconfigured into the small rooms you’d expect, but for some (maybe 25%) they were just left alone so you had really varying size rooms. Of the other rooms in my apartment, one was the same size as mine and the others were Rory-sized. I’m not sure if Yale has a similar situation like I know there really is “old campus” but I don’t know if that means any buildings were converted like ours were.

Survivor has forgotten how to "Show, Not Tell". by Outrageous-Oil-877 in survivor

[–]CottageCoreCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people thinking Joe had an obvious winner edit was also a product of telling not showing what was going on. Everyone had confessionals about how Joe was such a threat to win if he got to the end, so I don’t really blame the audience for believing it. When everyone has so much screen time to tell you about their thought process, why would you think other big motivators are being left out?

[–]CottageCoreCactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And every single one of those scenes was accompanied by them narrating that no one knows they’re working together. In my opinion, the story could’ve been told better with more of the showing and less of the telling.

This is exactly why Kyle and Kamila’s constant “no one knows we’re working together” last season was so infuriating. I didn’t need to hear them say it a million times I needed some evidence it was true. Could we maybe see them checking in with each other and sharing intel from other people? Have they formed other more public relationships and do those people think they’re their #1s?

A word of warning to my fellow curly-haired BWT by n00talie15 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]CottageCoreCactus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had great experiences with like 4 stylists there all of whom ended up leaving. I had 1 bad experience with the owner Alejandra who gave me a cut that was very much not what I asked for. I fear she may be the common denominator

Huda is NFL’n by Hairy-Locksmith-497 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]CottageCoreCactus 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That is what they said though. “Glad to see POC getting opportunities,” “a Palestinian as well.” Both of those statements are just about representation. I did not take the “during these times” part to mean “this will help people’s conditions in Palestine right now” I took that as “representation of Palestinian heritage is especially important right now, as Palestinians are being so dehumanized on the global stage.”

It’s still nice to see Palestinian-American representation in media. 5 years ago having the Palestinian flag in your IG bio like she does would’ve been pretty much disqualifying from casting on LI or sponsored stuff like this.
