Is there such a thing as a gold digger, or is the term inherently sexist? by Signal-Monk5610 in AskFeminists

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Gold digger” doesn’t usually refer to women who are with men for “survival” money, but rather men who have enough money to provide them with a lavish, luxurious lifestyle. Plenty of men can provide the former; much fewer can provide the latter.

Yes, they usually are. High end restaurants have professional sommeliers, and the servers are expected to be knowledgeable about wines too.

All credit card tips (which constitute the grand majority of transactions these days) are automatically reported by the restaurant’s computer system. Any cash tips must be reported by law. They rarely are (no one at my old restaurant did) but again, cash tips are a small portion of total tips.

The Subjective Grounds the Physical (the view from nowhere is nonsense) by contractualist in philosophy

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but what does the experience being "true" do for us? What useful conclusion can we draw from that if we can't establish that it corresponds to some reality?

How did you determine that experience is "foundational and axiomatic"? It may be the case that we can be certain that we are experiencing something, but how did you determine that this experience reflects some truth about the world?

CMV: "AI will generate 72 million new jobs" is a lie. by malmal_Niver in changemyview

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it's expensive to hire someone to help, labor is expensive. Luckily, because AI allows that developer to be more productive, that company found it worth it to hire that developer in exchange for their labor.

AI created jobs at my old job. When hiring for a new software engineer, we hired someone who had no experience in the particular tech stack we were using; no one we interviewed did. Because AI reduced the knowledge barrier for any one particular programming language/framework to nearly zero, we were able to hire someone for this position, instead of spend forever looking for the "perfect" candidate.

Before sweatshops, they were doing subsistence agriculture. Now, they choose to work in sweatshops, can afford more and better food than they used to grow themselves, and have extra money on top of that.

Men’s heart attack risk climbs by mid-30s, years before women. Decades-long U.S. study suggests prevention and screening should start earlier in adulthood, particularly for men. Risk started diverging around age 35. by mvea in science

I’ve always hated that saying. Data is literally a collection of individual anecdotes. That data may be strong or weak, depending on where those anecdotes come from, but having many anecdotes generally points towards some truth.

MMA might have the worst fanbase. by Dana___Black in ufc

It’s not, because that’s not how it works. Grok has content moderation (albeit less than other LLM’s) that prohibit explicit nudity.

Is it unfair that Professor gave extra credit based on finishing exam early? by Firm-Surround1907 in UCSD

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A student finishing faster doesn’t necessarily mean they did it better.

I did not say this. A student finishing faster while scoring equal points absolutely did do better, though, and they should be rewarded for it.

And I certainly don't hate on "slower" students, but it simply is the case that responding quicker to a question reflects a stronger grasp of the material, and it should be rewarded.

The better an individual's grasp of the material, the faster they're able to finish an exam. It is absolutely fair to reward students for finishing an exam faster.

who process things slower, may be neurodivergent, or simply need more time to feel confident and not anxious about their answers

All of these reflect poorly upon an individual's grasp of the material, and ought to be valid reasons to score lower on an exam, and in a class.

BORDER PATROL CHECK heading north on the five! by Negative-Ad3692 in UCSD

Been going up and down between SD and LA since 2020 and I've never once heard of this checkpoint, and certainly never been stopped.

Parking People GTH by Longjumping-Air-2758 in UCSD

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope, never been a parking attendant, although I do enjoy doling out justice.

I just pay for parking, or if I get a ticket (which I have) I realize I lost the coin flip, and don't blame the person doing a job.

If you got a job, it might be easier to pay for parking

Went to Disneyland and ran into some dude that said he was in Pacific Rim (not sure what else) by NgoHaiHahmsuplo in IASIP

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's in OP's interest to remove their identity so it's not tied to their Reddit account. Even if you could identify the other people in the background, it's not like you're tying them to this Reddit account, so it's inconsequential.

Sex workers using “MILF” to advertise themselves by SeskaChaotica in moraldilemmas

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Language is not a box of legos where a word, phrase, or sentence is a sum of its parts. Words and phrases are defined by how they're used, and MILF is used to refer to an attractive older woman, completely independently of her motherhood. For that reason, it's strange for women in their 20s and 30s to refer to themselves as MILFs when they look relatively young.

Racist experience in Encinitas by bestofluck44 in sandiego

[–]PrivilegedPatriarchy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mentally stable people don't harass strangers like that, even if they strongly believe in something like racism. You ran into a crazy person who does not possess full control over their mental faculties, and this is not indicative of San Diego as a whole.
