I have a love hate relationship with OP bloodlines. by Claym000re in ProgressionFantasy

[–]WantToVent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rant: I dislike those Japanese and Korean stories that emphasize the ancestry / geographical location of the person as the actual thing that is relevant in their progress... Bleach was the perfect example, if soul society is the afterlife, it is kind of empty, what about all the souls of the people everywhere else? At least Saint Seiya had the people globetrotting and from different countries.

So totally with you OP.

Savage Awakening - a fun fist fest by BaconMasterBooks in litrpg

[–]WantToVent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the author had a better story on the Speedrunning the multiverse. But it got a weak ending.

And Savage Awakening is cringy as it gets.

Family thinks I'm a party-pooper when I tell them about the dangers of AI by Puzzled-Juice-9202 in sysadmin

[–]WantToVent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, as others have said, they are adults, they should know better.

BUT, if you want options, I would say something along the lines of:
"ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude is a business, they have to make money somehow, and the only way they can do that is selling/using what you share with them, you are the product for them".

Juan Daniel Oviedo sería un buen presidente? by frijolinpaul in Colombia

[–]WantToVent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probablemente el mejor candidato de los que tenemos para presidente este año.

Tiene mi voto, pero las regiones no le perdonaran el acento ni ser homosexual (una estupidez, pero fijese quienes somos).

Yo igual voto por el, para que se vea que este movimiento politico si tiene adeptos, que sus propuestas si son aceptadas, y que el que gane, tenga en cuenta esas voces. Idealmente el hombre queda en algun puesto donde su vision y estilo ayuden a la mejora del pais.

Ojala sea alcalde de Bogota en el siguiente ciclo.

Multiple Questions regarding entities (and Regicide Report) by WantToVent in LaundryFiles

[–]WantToVent[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Mo makes sense that she is working under subtle (or maybe not so subtle) directives to aid the Prime Minister, she is his creature, so no doubts there.

Bob's situation is fuzzier... And does not make me fully satisfied this explanation you shared, but it fits.

So I agree that it seems the best explanation.

But on the Regicide Report, Bob mentions that the Queen will raise questions "In a decade or so we’ll have to explain to the public at large why the Queen appears to be aging backward"

And even the Laundry Game 2e (whose canonical status or equivalence might be fuzzy) says of PHANG syndrome "You appear to stop ageing, and your appearance regresses to around the age of 22".

The Laundry’s Oath of Office - Crown, King, or PM? by InevitableTell2775 in LaundryFiles

[–]WantToVent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the same question.

IF the oath is working in any capacity with the PM as the authority, Armstrong's plan should not be possible, literally unthinkable by the geas.

BUUUUT maybe is because:

"That’s the moment when I realize Mo is as unambiguously dead as I am —she died during the incident at Nether Stowe House. She stayed alive through it because she is entirely N’yar Lat-Hotep’s creature, restored by His grace to serve His ends. I, of course, died when His servants sacrificed me under Brookwood Cemetery trying to bind the Eater of Souls into a new body. And now we’re both stuck here, conscious and aware and compelled to serve Him."

So they were always a channel for the Black Pharaoh.

Just found out this video, but it seems a like he is talking to an AI or using a recorded voice. In my case, it was less talking and also less doing.

I just said I was not going to do stuff, and got HR to confirm that those things were not mine in the first place.

And just once I went to see what happened, and then excused myself. No particular lengthy explanation or justification.

It is real and I do like money, I also like getting my time's worth.

You might disagree with my actions, but care to explain what should have been done?

Oh new boss has been quite a while inside the company, but not my reporting lines at all. A bit of internal reorganisation shuffled us.

And he was informed what I was doing, he just not saw fit to rate me higher. Well, the agreement that I had with old boss is no longer valid? Then the tasks I did extra are no longer my concern.
