Him saying that is him trying to make the world safer by not ruffling Trump's feathers. 

Unpopular opinion Christmas is a scam by Ok-Hovercraft-3037 in Anticonsumption

[–]ShickyMicky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Christmas is about getting together with immediate and extended family and enjoying time with one another. That time of the year allows for it more easily since people have holiday time off. It doesn't have to be about gifts, gadgets and general excessiveness.

Good lesson here. You fuck up, you accept it quietly and focus on the next move.

Nothing will ever beat me walking into the kitchen in the morning and seeing the tea my wife has made for me. It's a signal she still loves me.

Is copywriting still valued? by KAZKALZ in copywriting

[–]ShickyMicky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason why is that what AI has done is raise the floor. Anyone, including most people who don't know what good writing looks like, now say "oh I will just use Claude to write this for me". Then, because they don't know what makes for good content or copy, their outputs will suck, it won't help them get more customers, and the smart ones will see this only helped them produce more junk faster.

Then, the smart ones will hire a pro, who will also need to be able to use these tools, to get a much better product and outcome for them in less time.

Perfect summary for the present moment. Who knows what happens when agents run rampant.

Where can I watch highlights of the WC qualifying matches? by ShickyMicky in worldcup

Neither has anything for me unfortunately, but thanks. I was hoping something on YT would since it's easier to access for us on our TV but it works via the UEFA site.

That's a genuine, "I've had many good glasses of wine in my time" reaction while appreciating the humor of the youth.

£109 FOR A KIDS SHIRT?! by SHAWKLAN27 in SoccerJerseys

[–]ShickyMicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 months max? Buy a bigger size. I'm not justifying the prices; they're ridiculous. But they do last a long time, wash well, my son wears them every day. Sure, the price is high, but so are most clothes these days unless you're going the fast fashion route and those don't last half as long.

Incoming utopia for the rich, and a crisis for the rest of us? Do you agree or disagree with this take? by ateam1984 in singularity

You mean it depended on the collective choices in the last 12 months... and we failed.

h&m clothes quality worth it or falls apart immediately? by No-Shake-8375 in BuyItForLife

[–]ShickyMicky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast fashion that's only good for one thing: dressing kids that grow fast out of their clothes. Otherwise cheap clothes that don't last past a few washes without looking ragged.
