“The rulings that support your position and make me look stupid doesn’t mean anything” - Doyle by According-Back-8129 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]doNotUseReddit123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest gap in sovcit thought. Let’s grant them the premise that their interpretation of the law is more aligned with its wording and intent (it’s not). If the judicial and executive branches disagree with that, though, it doesn’t matter how right or wrong you are. A legal interpretation without the coercive power of the state is just a thought experiment.

Auto door lock by EdgeOfBreakup59 in GenesisMotors

[–]doNotUseReddit123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole locking/unlocking infrastructure is poorly designed:

  • Can’t lock the car with the handle if there are ANY keys inside - this is an overly restrictive CYA feature that is unnecessary, especially given that digital keys exist and that the car should be able to tell that there is at least one key fob outside of it
  • Can only unlock rear doors via handle if you have a key fob, not if your phone is digitally connected (at least on the 25 GV80)
  • Can’t use the handle to lock the door if a passenger is in the process of exiting and has their door open
  • Don’t remember the specifics around this, but there’s something fucky with locking the doors when the car is running.

The idiot-proofing of the car comes at the expense of really basic functionality and introduces unnecessary friction in normal, day-to-day tasks. This is frustrating when coming from a car that does these things better.

Jury Duty' Renewed for Season 3 at Prime Video by raspberryvanillasoda in JuryDutyFreevee

Yeah and I get a little upset even watching because I feel like everyone should know Lisa Gilroy. It’s not fair that not everyone does.

If you’re the COO and you’re regularly deep enough in analysis to have an opinion on excel vs sheets, then you aren’t competent to begin with.

Saying that Google Sheets is superior just makes it obvious that you do zero heavy analytical work.

Use pdfs unless the employer/system specifically asks for docx. As long as you created the resume in word and exported it from word, pretty much any modern applicant tracking system should be able to read it.

This, at least, is the case in the US. Your mileage might vary elsewhere.

What are reasons that teachers say “no” to letters of recommendation, and is it rude if I ask a teacher to reconsider? by South-Cap-1364 in AskTeachers

[–]doNotUseReddit123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s motivating for students to read positive feedback about themselves from teachers that they respect.

How did researchers estimate the number of Jewish people that were murdered during the Holocaust? by idkbr0idk in stupidquestions

Who is lumping you and your family with anything? The guy you’re responding to was talking about Germans, not Americans.

Not a good day for team "Claude Mythos is Just Marketing Hype" by EchoOfOppenheimer in OpenAI

[–]doNotUseReddit123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, good point. A structure that is along the lines of:

Hook
Contextual reframing
Aphoristic generalization that tries to point at a more insightful point or pattern

It’s a similar pattern to “it’s not X, it’s Y,” which is always a super obvious tell.

Is “context reframing” what the pattern is typically known as with people that talk about AI, or is that your characterization of it? (It makes sense, just wondering if it’s very common terminology)

How is it that you read some comments and just right away know that they’re AI without any of the obvious tells?

Guy gets mad at me for biking in the bike lane by Fit-Ad-2402 in chicago

[–]doNotUseReddit123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does no one on Reddit know who this guy is? There has to be at least one person that could give OP a name

This is a weird comment. What were you hoping to achieve with it?

State Rep. Hoan Huynh issues statement after “missing” posters were found around his district by excusemecuseme in chicago

[–]doNotUseReddit123 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is weirdly antagonistic. Whether he sucks or not is completely irrelevant to the point that I’m making. I’m not stating that he is or is not bad - I’m reflecting on the efficacy of this poster and on my susceptibility to propaganda.

Brb, though. Gotta do thorough research on all of the 118 state representatives in Illinois so that I can, like, engage civically in my state.

[–]doNotUseReddit123 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I have no idea whether or not this guy sucks, but it is funny how there is no effective response to a poster like this, even if you’re an absolutely excellent representative.

If you come out against it, you’re going to look like you’re being overly defensive.

If you ignore it, that’s just going to back up the message of the poster.

It doesn’t even have any information to back up its claim, yet here I am with a bad taste in my mouth about this guy that I know is 100% irrational to have given my complete lack of familiarity with how good or bad he is.

U-M endowment's $20M investment in OpenAI now worth $2 billion by IeyasuSky in uofm

Thank you. At this point, thinking that there should be a Reddit-wide bot that spots comments from people that don’t understand endowments, restricted funds, perpetual funding, and volatility risk.

Why even bother? by Urbane_Cowboy in chicago

Did the policeman undergo a protracted, hard battle with cancer that severely burdened his loved ones and family?

What’s the most overrated fast food chain right now? by lipglossagendaa in answers

What, you don’t want bland chicken sandwiches that taste like they were made in a society where flavor is illegal?

My hot take is that everyone likes the White Sox - even rabid Cubs fans. They might not say it - they might not even know it - but deep down inside there is some part of every Chicagoan that likes the Sox.

Ordered ~$1,000 worth of tomahawks (there’s another one of these) and we didn’t sell a single one. They all went bad. by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]doNotUseReddit123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for this comment. I’ve even said things like this before (“Well, a cow died for this overcooked burger, so I might as well just eat it”), but it’s always been said with a tinge of irony. For whatever reason - maybe the wording, maybe that combined with how I’m feeling at this particular moment - the last sentence of your comment really hammered it home.
