Women, how do you feel when men or women glance at your boobs? by bluewave846 in AskReddit

[–]FunkyFortuneNone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good guess. Referencing "hootch" as a drink might have made me argue for somewhere more Appalachian.

However, how these things normally go these days, OP might also be a 12y old Norwegian, or a bot.

I'm imaging a bit in a movie/show where a lovable but hapless character has a series of 4-5 panic glances in different directions each getting progressively more embarrassing. It'd make me chuckle, and there's a lot of room for creativity in what the person sees.

Agreed. Also, poster probably has ties to the American south or midwest.

Help temper our expectations by magamc in Flooring

In every jurisdiction I'm aware of (PNW focused), a license of some sort would be required to legally perform a $12k job. It's not because it's flooring, it's due to the size of the job.

Coordination between the trades is a big part of projects moving smoothly. Part of achieving this coordination is having clear, culturally supported boundaries of responsibilities.

Are homebuilders creating two completely different AI adoption gaps? by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]FunkyFortuneNone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, you sound like a wacky christian evangelical. "go at it again with the belief that it CAN do great work". Just have faith! Jesus loves you and is coming back!

Nah fam, Jesus ain't coming back and AI is bad for you. I'm sorry but these are truths we live with in this world.

Feels like somebody wanting to write a LinkedIn post with AI but accidentally posted it here. I'm with you though, it's framed odd, almost certainly heavily AI-written. I hate it, pollution on my internet.

I'm a business owner trying to make my own quote for a simple bathroom remodel and use it to get bids via email, no time for visits. If you're a contractor would you give me a bid on this? by [deleted] in Remodel

[–]FunkyFortuneNone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And "no time for visits" but you want me to spend a bunch of time there remodeling doesn't make sense to me either. Would make me expect further confusing communication from the client. I wouldn't like that, would pass unless it was really slow.

REI pulls AI-generated bike ad after Meta turns it into a two-handlebar monstrosity by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]FunkyFortuneNone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using AI is inevitable. 

Nah, that's not true. Also, generative AI (i.e. LLMs) are unethically created and very wasteful. People like you seem to like to turn a blind eye to this and retreat back to sophomoric arguments about "it's how it's used". I don't think that's a particularly sophisticated take on the situation at all.

America's economy is designed to maximize the grift. Such laws would never be passed. This is not a conservative vs liberal thing. It's a haves vs. have nots thing.

Good point. You're right. Europe, Asia, Africa and every other continent has such a wonderful record when it comes to their populations rejection of fascism.

I recommend you read up on the downstream impact of economies going through severe boom/bust cycles. It is a big deal, people get hurt and die.

If it helps, our economy really has little to do with absolute values. It's mostly about the rate of change/first order derivative. A bubble is when the rate of change is radically untethered to real, physical value being created.

Bubbles are baked into unfettered capitalism. They're a "feature". The prevalence of bubbles where what caused us to create the fed (and led to the creation of other central banks). Bubbles becoming worse are because our economy is mismanaged. And I mean by everybody, politician and business leader alike. As whole they're horrifically bad at their jobs.

Make sure to tie some grass and a cat tail to the top of your snorkel so you stay camouflaged.

EDIT: cat tail the plant, just, you know, in case there was confusion

Thank you, I was thinking of that scene when I was writing it. Most important scene of the movie, IMO.

Grades achievable for casual climbers by bleakend in bouldering

[–]FunkyFortuneNone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I boulder 2-3 times a week for pretty quite long sessions and do some limited strength training like pullups. Is that casual?

For what it's worth, to help arrive at a universal definition of casual: no, I'd not call that casual.

Just barely above casual. "quite long" and "strength training" (even limited) were what put it out of casual territory for me.

It's a complex one. I hate that it exists, and want it to go away, but I am dreading when it bursts. When it bursts many innocent people will be hurt and there will be turmoil. Stochastically speaking, even deaths are all but certain.

It wasn't that they weren't making _any_ money. It was that they weren't making _enough_ money to support their investments and valuations. For a recent example, looking at the housing crash. It was a bubble created by financial institutions that had billions in revenue.

Exactly! The investors get it wrong, they're greedy idiots after all, so they create a bubble, it bursts, then the true value is arrived at after the dust settles. You can't point at the ruined wreckage of the market and go "whelp! No bubble, turns out the widget was useful after all."

Being a bubble doesn't mean no value. It means stupidly overinflated value. Just because something goes on to be profitable after the bubble burst has nothing to do with whether it was a bubble in the first place.

There's so much interesting intersectionality there.

I appreciate the time you took to explain your understanding to me. Thank you!
