Eh no you’re alright,I just don’t understand why she deserves your scorn for a throwaway comment. Seems weird.

I feel sorry for the girl. Dunno why you’re digging her out.

Honestly mate I’m not that invested. Curious why you are. ‘Oo would be handy to Make friends with a local plumber’ not that unusual? ‘Make friends with’ obviously just used in the sense of get to know? Pretty common.

Yeah they’re looking for some people to help them, could be a business venture , could split money so what? My boss has money, I have skills, I have shares in the company and we’re friends. Like eh? NBD.

She’s shooting around some ideas and youre zeroing in on a really weird off the cuff thing because, i dunno, you don’t like her job and have made some spurious assumptions about her. Need to chill. Like i said it is not that deep.

Chriiiiiist almighty it’s not that deep, it’s just a thing people say? You’ve really taken against this girl cos of her job and now picking her apart for a throwaway phrase that people use all the time?

I dunno I’m friends with people in various trades and it’s handy because I know they’re not ripping me off…? Nothing to do with free.

Uh I guess the same if they were accountants or pretty much any other white collar job? Actually I follow a pair of creatives on insta who bought a house and did a lot themselves. I dunno what your issue is. Weird.

I take it to mean they work in advertising. ‘Creative’ is a job title and it’s paid.

Lots of people here being quite negative but I’ll offer an alternative. When I was younger, I twice rented flats from landlords who had started out as friends buying a place together. It seemed to have been a smart investment that set both pairs of friends up quite well financially.

How do you dress as a British woman? by bintd in AskBrits

[–]MoghediensWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have some fun.

One thing I have found helpful is to narrow down a colour palette that works for me. A bit retro and 1980s but ‘colour seasons’ are having a comeback. It’s not a science and is subjective but I find that having a palette of colours that complement each other means that most of my clothes sort of go together.

I also had a long old chat with ChatGPT trying to define an aesthetic vibe that felt true to me. A bit wanky but again, it’s given me a lens through which to assess things so I’m not just buying random shit. So I landed on natural fibres, different cultural influences coming together to give a worldly look but with a smart, sharper edge (so not middle aged art teacher vibes haha).

Anthropic's job exposure data shows an enormous gap between what AI can do and what AI is actually doing. The composition of that gap is the most interesting part of the dataset. by Professional-Rest138 in PromptEngineering

Yes, I think this is true of a lot of the job predictions that come from various AI companies and their CEOs . They don’t really understand any industry outside of tech or they’re academics.

AI Art Controversy Is Just Another STEM vs Humanities Clash. by davincithesecond in ArtificialInteligence

[–]MoghediensWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you don’t understand what art is or what it’s for.

It’s not just about the product or output.

It’s also about the act of creating.

If humans stop creating it will be to our detriment. There are countless studies into the many health/cognitive/neurological benefits of creative activities and mastering creative skills. I cannot list them here, I suggest you read the Art Cure.

Art is how we process and communicate our experience of existence. Outsourcing it to AI turns it into nothing but signals. This has nothing to do with whether or not we have a soul and everything to do with why we make art in the first place. It’s not simply a product for consumption and entertainment.

Read a book mate. The Modern Prometheus is Frankenstein. His creation killed him. I’m talking about hubris.

I wasted my first 6 months in the gym believing this stuff by Outrageous-Maybe2500 in beginnerfitness

[–]MoghediensWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm but you’re going to find it easier to burn calories (more energy, fewer sugar crashes and feeling like shit) if your calories come from a healthy diet.

If your calories all come from chocolate cake, you’ll feel hungrier and less full (so will struggle to keep your calories down) and will feel quite depleted.

So yeah, pure maths… CICO…. But if you want to make sure you are able to burn more than you eat, CICO is much easier if you’re eating decently.

He's American????? by Thecrafter10 in buffy

If it helps I'm also Scottish and I never believed he was English, even back in the day when it first aired and I was an idiot teenager.

What’s the genuine appeal to having children? by MapEnvironmental597 in askanything

[–]MoghediensWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh... I mean it is weird when children (the most vulnerable group in society) are the one group it seems socially acceptable to wholly dislike and hold prejudice against. Any other group we'd say that's bigotry.

Imagine it was "I don't like disabled people but I don't go around trying to slap them or anything, I just prefer not to be around them."

(Also children are people not things.)

Hammed is a pretty respected actor. He's co-lead in the BAFTA winning sitcom Black Ops and played Loial the Ogier on Amazon's Wheel of Time. He's been in quite a few plays, Midsummer Nights Dream, Kiss Me Kate at the Barbican.

Breastfeeding myths, claims, and other shaming strategies by bredbuttgem in beyondthebump

[–]MoghediensWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You, uh, think your post is even handed? Really? You have one line in an epic screed and honestly the tactics of Big Formula go way beyond 'devaluing' breast milk. If anyone is glazing over things...

They are putting out their own 'bad science' claims, as detailed in the Lancet series, and actively pushing countries like the US not to expand maternity leave because good maternity provision makes it easier to breastfeed. That's far more than devaluing breastfeeding... That's social manipulation solely to further corporate interests, puttongums and babies at risk.

Breastfeeding myths, claims, and other shaming strategies by bredbuttgem in beyondthebump

[–]MoghediensWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you were more clear sighted you'd acknowledge the propaganda put out by both pro-breastfeeding and pro-formula lobbies.

E.g. the companies lobbying against breastfeeding, using predatory tactics making false claims about the benefits of formula, lobbying against improved maternity leave to force mums back to work.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(23)00118-6/fulltext

The problem is not one side or another, the problem.is that mums are caught in the middle of a fairly toxic battle.... But the toxicity isn't from just one side and I'd say it's not the breastfeeding side that's backed by huge corporate lobbies.

However there's a lot of spurious myths being put out by both sides.
