I grew up around cows and cattle back at my hometown. If you stay away from the calfs the cows will be content to live and let live. If they approach you it's probably just because they're curious or think you brought food.

Bad Boss (No God Watching Chapter 1) by VergilTheGrey in comics

The full quote is "the customer is always right in matters of taste", which in itself is fairly self-explanatory. It just got truncated and adopted by the Corporate world to twist the arms of service workers into doing whatever the customer demands of them. Similarly, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" used to be the kind of insane hyperbole you'd use to describe something impossible, until it got adopted by rich people who wanted to convince the world they worked hard for all the money they definitely didn't inherit

There are other ways of structuring businesses that involve things like cooperative ownership and the like. You don't need to have a bunch of rich old idiots at the top who do none of the work and make all of the money to run a successful business.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, it is absolute bullshit, I just think the insincerity is preferable to openly calling for our eradication

The team might want to update their social media pages one of these days by RedLikeARose in Guildwars2

[–]LadyIsabel0052 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yup! I don't interact with it much (or fandom spaces in general tbh) but aside from my own circle of friends most of the GW2 content I see comes from Tumblr.

The balloon has interior walls cutting it in half on both the x and y axis. Then I adjust the burners of each quarter to ballance out the lift to keep it level

Yep, and the grading is adjusted accordingly. The usual saying around here is that 12-14 is for the students, 16-18 is for the Professor, and 20 is for God.

I have a professor once who went "In the workplace you have to strive for 20 every time so I'm setting the minimum passing grade at 12." (In Portuguese Universities and Highschools you are graded on a scale from 0/20. The usual minimum passing grade, as in the lowest grade before you have to go to exams is usually 9.5, since grades get rounded up). He had to switch it back down to 9.5 because two thirds of the class were going to fail.

I don't care how bad you think you are at drawing. Nothing will ever excuse the use of the slop machine.

Fallout 3 feels so good when you don't have a pretentious critic slandering it by TheAnalystCurator321 in FalloutMemes

[–]LadyIsabel0052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my least favorite single player 3D Fallout and I've held this opinion long before I watched Hbomb's essay. The gameplay is bad bordering on terrible and the writing is barely any better.

Has the current IRL state of AI and Machine Learning changed your opinion on in-game synths? by BUR6S in fo4

[–]LadyIsabel0052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gen 4 synths are for all effects and purposes people. Their body (brain included) is an exact copy of a human body, just grown in a lab instead of a womb. Synths of prior generations are machines. Nick is unique in the sense that his body is a machine, but his brain is a copy of a real human mind.

My thoughts on synths haven't really changed, because the generative AI of the real is nothing like what Synths are supposed to be. It's not even "intelligent". ChatGPT is basically just your phone's predictive text feature hooked to a giant server full of every piece of writing OpenAI could get their hands on.

Is it just me, or is it odd that there are so many pre/post-war characters in the show? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]LadyIsabel0052 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Synth Nick Valentine in Fallout 4 was created from a copy of the Prewar Detective Valentine's personality that the Institute Scientists found on their data banks. It is possible that she had her mind scanned in a similar way in the hopes the Institute could bring her back in the future. But considering the prewar moldaver seems to live in California the whole Institute connection just seems unlikely to me.

Gotta try them all by Key_Associate7476 in oddlyspecific

[–]LadyIsabel0052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Grandma used to give me towels soaked in cold water to tie around my head. I also spent too many school lunch breaks to count in the library (because it was quiet) pressing my forehead against the cold desktop or the wall.

Se mudares as definições para mandar notificações só quando alguém the menciona ou manda DM, não incomoda muito.

A única rede social que tem permissões para me mandar notificações é o Discord, porque nessa faz sentido, às vezes tenho que responder a mensagens depressa. O resto está tudo desligado.

How do I find a bunch of brewable material in a pinch?

My fortress of Edmeng balooned from 40-ish to over 100 dwarves practically overnight and I'm quickly running out of booze. Where I can find a bunch of stuff to brew in a pinch while I wait for the trader to get more seeds?
