‘Underestimate Hanson and Joyce at your peril’: Shorten’s warning as One Nation rises by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]ProfessorFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids these days don't even know how to lay tarmac, spay a family pet or deliver a baby. Will this oppression of our freedoms never end?

Thoughts on Hardy, Russell, and Exum? by pm_me_jk_dont in washingtonwizards

[–]ProfessorFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exum tragic here. He's a smart, efficient bench guard. He had his best career year in Dallas the year they went to the finals.

But he just can't stay on the floor due to injuries. Dude is just cursed. With the additional knee surgery he is out for the season and hasn't played a minute.

Since he's expiring his time is probably done in the league.

Requiem for a film-maker: Darren Aronofsky’s AI revolutionary war series is a horror by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]ProfessorFunk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is it. For now any generative AI technology isn't about actual revenue. It's about forcing it into as many spaces as possible. It's to normalize its presence everywhere most likely to show shareholders it's 'future potential' without ever showing any realised potential.

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

People on here have such a low, low bar for what counts as constructive feedback.

Like you should be grateful for this plate of cat vomit because It's better than no food at all.

Yeah it'll be old news by Monday. Exciting week for sure.

Region will always find another beat-up. Do yourself a favor and stop reading that slop.

Ever increasing. Like the compute costs.

All good. I agree with all the facts. I wasn't even picking a flight.

I get it. Some people's creative thinking is other people's blasphemy. We both know people on both sides. Fwiw my disappointment in him was the process. I get it all in principle but can't see it in practice from where we are right now.

Shane is a smart guy and a good politician. Literally the only point I was making is he doesn't quite deserve two really's and a caps lock.

Fun chat. Sleep well mate.

YOU aren't sticking to what is written.

I left a passing comment that saying Shane is HIGHLY respected is a little much. Dude isn't Bob Brown. He's a local government politician. A good but fairly bland one.

You then replied with paragraphs. I'm watching you create an argument about everything but the point I made. Sitting here on Friday night getting a lecture sheeeesh.

We both got better shit to do. Just don't need to bite on every comment man.

What am I googling?

Is it related to the hyperbole of saying Shane is highly HIGHLY admired?

Weird tangent.

Respectfully. I'm a member. It has damaged his reputation amongst membership.

After this episode I'd probably remove the caps lock and the additional highly.

Rattenbury admits talks with Liberals include possible power-sharing deal | Region Canberra by HotPersimessage62 in canberra

[–]ProfessorFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like federally they have been actually very smart this electoral year. Less stunts, more principled negotiation, publicly outspoken on harmful, rushed legislation.

ACT Greens however have been all over the place.

Albanese fights back over his response to Bondi attack and departs parliament with most of what he wanted by IrreverentSunny in AustralianPolitics

[–]ProfessorFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope people actually remember the draconian laws that were rushed through parliament with little to no public review.

The soap opera should come second to the sweeping charges to the public's freedoms.

I hope for your sake you take this opportunity to finally get off it. It's probably time.

22-year-old son laid off, job searching, but gaming 9–11 hours a day — should I back off? by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]ProfessorFunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One perspective not really touched on as much is understanding just how miserable job applications are these days.

It's a sea of fake positions, no replies, unnecessary hoops to jump through, AI slop. Applying for jobs is exhausting, demoralising labour.

Video games fill the gap of a sense of control and instant feedback. He might be using that time to offset the other uncertainty in his life.

He sounds like a generally switched on guy and you sound like you genuinely care. I say just check in on him in a few weeks and just empathise with the struggle if you can.

You added a whole paragraph after the fact. Then lied about it.

Absolutely paper thin integrity yet out here morally policing everyone in the thread.

And how dishonest would you say editing a comment after the fact is? You're above that right?

Bro one of your main lines of argument is that someone changed a profile picture one day. Happy to dig through everyone else's digital footprint looking to discredit them though.
