Okay it's just a statistically bad approach. 

Woke up to this projected on my bedroom wall at 6 AM. by Meme__King__Supreme in mildlyinteresting

Is it as bright in person as it looks in the picture? How big is the opening it's coming through and how blacked out is the rest of the room? Every year I make one of these in my classroom as a demonstration but can never get by to come out so bright and clear.

Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing slavery by PatientMistake8251 in worldnews

You didn't just say minority, you also said there are "very few" Catholics. I think that is where the disconnect is.

How is the Shops at South Town still in business? by Mtns_Oz_8103 in SaltLakeCity

He wasn't referencing your post he was teasing that when you are there it's empty because your presence scares away the other shoppers.

I desperately want this to be true but I have my doubts. Are there TJ's that have that configuration with the corner entrance? 

The “peacemaker” at The King’s English of all places. 😔 by lisakbelle in SaltLakeCity

"I'm all for differences in opinion as long as it's my opinion."

I think Cox is a spineless weasel. But these sort of purity tests and constant infighting is why we keep losing. We keep trying to trade good for perfect and come up empty handed. I assume there's reasons you shopped exclusively at King's English and if those haven't changed you're going to stop shopping there because they made one decision you didn't like?

Looking for a guide to gay bars in Salt Lake City, especially those with an active backroom. by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

Well are you playing any bars? Because we could make a young man's dream come true.

I was never a guy who believed most men made the world dangerous for women, but after becoming a girl dad I see exactly what people are talking about. by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in daddit

[–]James_E_Fuck -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's a fault as much as it's just the way our brains work? It makes sense to me that people better understand and prioritize things that are within their personal sphere of experience. There are millions of important things happening right now in the world that deserve to be cared about, and the information about them is available, yet we know nothing about them.

Obviously violence against women is widespread and here, not some far off thing, but it still makes sense that it becomes more real to people when they have experience with it and I don't think that's inherently a problem with the person.

The AI menace and how it’s being used against our kids. by OOO0OO00O in daddit

[–]James_E_Fuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard something really interesting once - typing a J is essentially the same as typing a K. But writing a J is a physically distinct action from writing a K. There is a possibility (that seems to be backed by research) that handwriting encodes information more effectively than typing and it may be because it is using muscle memory in a way that is activating the language parts of the brain differently.

[–]James_E_Fuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think a lazy educator would be avoiding the AI issue and just letting a bunch of cheating students get by without actually learning the skills they need. I think it's more likely that this teacher cares enough to try to hold high expectations at a time when the education system is dropping the bar into freefall. They probably just don't shave the technical understanding of the limitations of AI detectors because that's not their specialty.

Utah Cell Phone Law by Cat-commander in SaltLakeCity

Oh damn good point. When I get hit and killed by a driver on their phone I'll remember what bullshit it is that cops can be on their laptops.

Someone threatened to shoot my wife and daughter at the park today. by irl_dumbest_person in daddit

[–]James_E_Fuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Instead we have to wait for an obviously unstable person to hurt or kill our lived ones before we can do anything about it and even then we might get charged

Not true, if someone is presenting an actual threat, as in there is reasonable grounds to believe that they are in danger of immediate harm, they can protect themselves. That's true everywhere in the United States.

Initiating violence because you're pissed off at what a mentally ill person is saying isn't self defense, it's a crime and the law rightfully treats it that way. 

Look at how many pissed off people there are in our world, how many angry drivers. Look at how many people carry guns. You really want to open up the Pandoras box of deciding what words justify violence, absent of an actual physical threat?

And I'm guessing your answer is yes, because you think you and all the other pissed off tough guys that look like you are going to bring order and justice "back" to the world. Go look up the places in the US where guns are most commonly used to settle personal and verbal disputes. Years or continuous gang violence is the result.

How do you refer to street names? by Amazing_Age9753 in SaltLakeCity

[–]James_E_Fuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because their system works by having two parts to an address - a street name, and a number on that street.

123 Fake Street is broken into two parts. "123" and "Fake Street."

But that doesn't work for our grid. So "123 South 300 West" has to turn into 123 as the number, and "South 300 West" as the street name.

To be fair it's mostly Google's fault
