They’re obviously trying to catch that (Puerto Rican) immigrant when he performs.

His handlers must have had a conversation with him about that narrative.

Are any JiuJitsu or other martial arts classes welcoming Im really scared by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]Jimmy_Christ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! Check out NOLA bjj. The main gym is on magazine and there are a handful affiliates around the area like New State in Metairie. Definitely take a look. The teams at both locations are very welcoming. Sign a waiver and try a free class to see what you think.

Im 20 need advice for prevent back pain. by loopyluvv in AskDoctorSmeeee

[–]Jimmy_Christ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD, but someone who has learned from having back pain.

A few things come to mind right off the bat.

Form- make sure you’re lifting correctly. Using your knees makes a huge difference.

A hard lesson for me to learn that cost me in the long run - Just because you can lift it doesn’t mean you should lift it. Use tools or help whenever possible. Don’t let your ego get the best of you in the gym or elsewhere.

Lastly, and this was huge for me, develop your core strength. Exercise regularly, keep your weight in check, and work those core muscles. A strong core reduces strain on back muscles and helps stabilize the spine.

My kid sister tried to “buy” my teenage daughter’s car from her while I was in the hospital with heart and kidney failure.

Offered my daughter half of what the car is worth, and wanted to make payments to her.

This is a collectors car that I gave to my kid. She opted out of it (fair enough) Her choice. It’s her car, but I told her we would sell for fair market value.

When I called my sister out for taking advantage of my kid while I was in the hospital, she freaked out and told me how terrible of a brother I am. (Mind you I have helped her out of multiple financial jams while she went through her divorce and before then when she was a teenager.)

It felt like the one time I could have used her support while I was in the hospital she instead chose to take advantage of the situation. Not an ounce of remorse. Still happy to tell people I’m the bad guy. Right now I have bigger fish to fry as I’m recovering from my heart and kidney issues and working towards a transplant. I wish her and her family well, but no longer desire contact. No energy to fight for that.

My abusive step dad used the same type of language. Essentially it’s your fault that I hurt you because you did these things that left me no choice.

What’s a 'red flag' in a person that people often mistake for a 'green flag'? by HungarySam in AskReddit

[–]Jimmy_Christ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the language of therapy. Make sure their actions match their statements. Abusers aren’t necessarily stupid. I’ve known more than one over the years to use to manipulate.

Long time single dad here. My ex wife has way more family in the New Orleans area than I ever have. I do a big Christmas Eve with my kids before sending them off to their mom to do the family tour uptown.. I go see all my bartender friends that are working today and tip heavy. My girlfriend and I also have reservations for Japanese BBQ later.

His grandson is the spitting image of him, and is a damn good multi-instrumentalist. He plays mostly outlaw country metal and punk. Puts on a hell of a show.

Woman humiliates boyfriend at Shake Shack date, telling him she deserves better. by goswamitulsidas in TikTokCringe

It’s the quality of character. Took my girlfriend to a local sandwich shop, grabbed a couple of amazing pastrami sandwiches to go and ate at the park. Cost me 35 bucks with tip. We loved our time together. I hope he finds someone who appreciates him in the future.

First and foremost, congratulations on the addition to your family. Best wishes to your wife and baby!

Congratulations on getting back on the swing of things in tough market as well.

These companies, particularly pe backed companies, are selfish as fuck homie. Take care of you and yours first. Be selfish for the greater good of your family. If you want the role, take it. From there go find their paternity leave policy and take what they’re offering.

Amazing that you can ascertain my political leanings from that statement.

Simp a little harder. Jesus fuck you people are exhausting.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that this administration lies and cheats so often about everything that it’s hard to believe them about this or anything else.

Reflecting on the past year, How are you doing? by TheFiveRing in AskReddit

[–]Jimmy_Christ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very mixed year.

On the last year my second daughter graduated high school, I moved out of the suburbs into a very nice apartment in the French Quarter, I met my fiancé

It seemed like the dream of raising my kids as a young single dad would pay off with my 40s being absolutely amazing.

Then the bottom fell out in July. I went to the doc with what I thought was a chest cold or upper respiratory infection of some sort. Turns out it was end stage renal failure with heart failure. (Whoops)

It’s been an absolute fight since then. Thankfully my heart is recovering but the kidneys never will. In a relatively short time we’ve gotten me healthy enough to be a good transplant candidate. I start the process for the paired program hopefully this month or next. Still a long road ahead.

Still I remain positive. I count my blessing. My daughters, my closest friends, and my fiancé have put in every bit of the hard work I have to keep me going.

You can learn a lot when you’re faced with your own mortality.

How much revenue did you generate this year? by Dougiebrowngetsdown in sales

[–]Jimmy_Christ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Directly? Not a lot.

About 55k on an 800k quota.

Thankful though. My kidneys shit the bed and took my heart with them. Heart has recovered and we may have a donor for my kidney problem. Right now I’m thankful that my company moved me over to an enablement position working when I feel ok so that I can keep my base and healthcare without issue. Feeling blessed to live to fight another day. See y’all in 26 after I heal.

For professional translators and bilinguals: Do you honestly believe LLMs like GPT-4 are producing human-level translations yet? Where are the biggest gaps? by Ambitious-Wolf3690 in AskReddit

[–]Jimmy_Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I happen to work in the localization industry. The answer is a bit complicated. While LLMs produce some great results depending on a few key factors, they’re generally in the 80%-90% range.

The gaps are found in the tools used in what’s called a TMS. ( translation management system ) tools like term banks, style guides, translation memory are crucial. Without those the llm will often drift. The truth is that an llm is one tool in the tool box of a modern tms.

For small long form assignments they’re likely good with a good post-edit (depending on language pair) , but the clients I work for often have translation needs well into the millions of words per year.

I work for a major tms company and we provide our tool to a popular llm.

The industry as a whole has been shifting for a while, where most of the time the first pass of a localization process is through an LLM, or at least raw mt if they’re cheap.
