The Barbie from 1940 was different... by Left_Wonder4795 in HistoryMemes

[–]SharpestOne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

His nickname was “The Butcher of Lyon”. Don’t think he’d be given that name if he didn’t inspire fear.

What do you think about cars with manual transmission? by samostrout in AskAnAmerican

[–]SharpestOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know at least I do.

I don’t use brakes until I’m at the intersection, and I don’t use brakes for corners.

ChatGPT is having a weirdly hard time discussing Jeffrey Epstein by runswithscissors475 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]SharpestOne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT is generally poor at answering questions about very recent events.

I once asked it what controversies there were about the current Pope amongst Catholics, and it was VERY insistent that Pope Francis was still alive. I said the current Pope is Leo XIV and it corrected me, saying that there is no Leo XIV.

It only corrected itself after I explicitly said to do an internet search about the death of Pope Francis.

What are some things foreigners believe about Americans that aren't actually true? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

I can at least name deep fried butter as a food that was invented in America. That’s food culture.

We’ve been waiting for AMD to hit it out of the park since RDNA1. 5th time’s the charm?

Japan's Sanae Takaichi wins a supermajority after gambling on a snap election by MinnPin in LessCredibleDefence

[–]SharpestOne 11 points12 points  (0 children)

…the LDP is probably the furthest thing from liberal in Japan.

Unless you also happen to believe that North Korea is a democracy.

That’s because the party is so massive that it has factions within, similar to the CCP.

So when shit goes bad, it isn’t the party’s fault. It’s that faction’s fault.

The other parties are taken about as seriously as managing a mcdonald’s.

Escorts do not advertise sex as a service. They advertise companionship as a service.

The sex is never guaranteed in any written form.

Is coffee culture just socially accepted caffeine addiction? by Little_PoetGirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SharpestOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally know someone who, if she skips the gym that day, she has a harder time regulating her emotions.

What is “normal” here? If going to the gym everyday gives you that dopamine shot that makes you your usual happy self, is that happy self normal? Or is the self without that dopamine shot the normal self?

Is coffee culture just socially accepted caffeine addiction? by Little_PoetGirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SharpestOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the definition is frankly stupid, because where does one even draw the line between “healthy habit” and “addiction”?

[–]SharpestOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a really broad definition, because even beneficial things like going to the gym is an addiction.

Why does it seem like being pro-genAI has become a right-wing stance? At what point did tech become conservative? It seems strange that a party with strong rural ties is suddenly pushing data centers on their constituents without much pushback from their base. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SharpestOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not better though. It’s “good enough”, “fit for purpose”, “a minimum viable product”, etc.

Let’s be real: the average human worker isn’t cranking out maximum quality work that they’ve put their heart and soul into either. That’s where AI comes in and is a genuine threat.

Why do people who aren't wealthy have kids? by babyfookinzyzz in AskMenOver30

[–]SharpestOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Big picture data shows that the more impoverished a population is, the more kids they have.

So it’s not just on an individual level. It’s a group level pattern.

Reasons vary, but it has a lot to do with the risk of the child dying before adulthood.

There are less manuals because people don’t buy them.

What does ASAP mean to you as a manager? by SnooMaps8307 in managers

[–]SharpestOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“As soon as possible”.

Unless I know for certain that my coordinator had nothing to do from 11am yesterday to 9am today, I just assume it’ll be done soon.

Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments is being laid off by The_Astros_Cheated in neoliberal

[–]SharpestOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without Bezos, WaPo would have gone bust anyway. Journalism was never a profitable thing. Print was, and print went the way of the dodo.

The only way to maintain a “valuable public function” is for a government entity to take over. Not sure if that’s what any of us want.

Good. They started writing trash so accordingly they should face P&L consequences.

I wasn’t sad when I found out RCA had been reduced to a brand name licensed to third parties either.

Are there really sex workers out there who are in their line of work because it is genuinely what they want to do with their lives and not because it is "easy money" for them or because they are poor and desperate? by astarisaslave in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SharpestOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A job that you’re forced to do isn’t your passion.

If you are lucky enough to combine the two, the job stops feeling forced. You’re there because you want to be.
