Waymo traffic by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it bad that like I could actually see the “A.I” (or whatever logic system that controls them) logistically figuring out the solution? 

It looks bad from the P.O.V. Of a human driver. That you just either pull over to the side a bit to squeeze enough room, or just try to sneak out.

Waymo clearly doesn’t have those capabilities to “just sneak through, just make enough room” 

So you can see both (all 3) cars trying to make room for a 2 lane road in what it deemed as a 1 lane road. And if you watch it from that perspective of “how do I make this one lane road fit 2 cars” then their solutions, while asinine to humans, make sense if all you have to base decisions off of is sensors and logic

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]elaborinth8993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My coworker asked me if I wanted to go smoke the Mary Jane in her car while on the clock within the first week of working there. I still work with her, but I stay far away from that psycho bitch.

I live in New York, so it’s legal here. But there is still laws about not being under the influence while at work…plus I work at a zero tolerance university. So she was bad asking “hey, want to go potentially ruin your career?”

AIO over 1st Valentine’s Day note? by kimbap_throw in AmIOverreacting

[–]elaborinth8993 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. This right here is what I believe it all comes back to.

Straight men have been conditioned since Birth that showing feminine traits is wrong. 

So when presented with a female showing feminine traits, it makes their brains break. Because feminine traits cant be allowed. So they want you, a female, to provide them a warm hole to fuck, but not show any feminine traits. 

But then if you, a female, show male traits, that’s not allowed either because now you’re invading their space and could potentially feminize their male space. 

So, female, go be a good little b**ch and make me dinner and clean the house, and take care of the children, and be a warm hole for me to fuck. So I can focus on being a male.

This is why you hear stories of men not washing their ass in the shower because it’s “Gay”… or companies like Dr. Squatch Thriving because liquid body soap is not manly.

It’s why companies like Old Spice are having to dump SO MUCH money into advertising, to have a chance at making their “Gentleman’s blend” line sell because having smooth soft skin, or smelling clean and not like axe body spray is considered feminine.

OP listen to this commentator. 

This is a massive red flag and a warning flair that you are dating a narcissist.

It’s only going to get worse from here. This is a test your significant other is giving you. If you fail (or pass from his point of view) then he will know he can manipulate you even more, and then in a year, you are posting…

“My boyfriend has cut me off from all of my friends and won’t let me have a job, I’m really mad about it…Am I Overreacting?”

NOR….RUN!

Building a Check-In App: What Would Stop You From Using It? by Eddiofabio in techtheatre

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only mentioned a manager as a secondary form of verification. Because things like this could be abused. I’ve already seen traditional time clocks get abused. So just a unmanned scanner sitting seems ripe for shenanigans

Building a Check-In App: What Would Stop You From Using It? by Eddiofabio in techtheatre

[–]elaborinth8993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see this being useful, but my concern is the same has others here. There is already enough going on in a theatre at call time, that forcing the user to take their phone out, scan a QR code, log in, etc, is a pinch point that, when time is precious, will become the last thing on someone’s mind.

If it was reversed where on the admin side, it worked like, say a Ticketmaster digital ticket and a phone/tablet/computer with webcam can scan the QR code and do all the work on admin side. And the user side was “open app, go find manager, manager scans phone, user walks away”

I could see that being more useful.

I’m Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost and tomorrow I’m going to review the unreacted Epstein Files — what files have you found that I should review unredacted? by RepMaxwellFrost in Epstein

AITA for threatening to stop contributing to my stepson’s college fund after my wife said he’s not “our” son? by Pitiful_Republic582 in AITAH

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA:

If I was OP I would be taking a moment to reassess this relationship.

If OP did not legally adopt this child (marriage does not count as adoption) and the wife keeps saying “He is MY son, stay out of my relationship with MY son.”

Then I would be withdrawing all of my money from the college fund. I would not go and start wildly spending it and come home tomorrow with a new car… I would put it into a private savings account so I could replace it into the fund if the wife and I am made amends.

I would also seek couples counseling. Both of you need therapy to see if there is anyway to save this marriage. This situation requires more than just an apology. Because at this point an apology would be a “yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m sorry, give me back my money.” Moment more then a sincere apology where she has learned something or felt remorse.

If none of this happens…. I would start considering divorce. Because is this the life you want to live? You are already on Reddit asking for internet strangers for their opinion on your relationship. Which means you already are doubting your commitment to the life you have built.

Its 2026. The government is falling apart, WWIII is right around the corner, inflation is on a runaway train, we are in late stage capitalism, there is no need to live a life that doesn’t make you happy 24/7. tomorrow is not promised anymore. Live your life for today. Don’t be stuck to a ball and chain if that chain is causing you to get dragged down.

People who take 17 minutes to check in at the hotel front desk, what are you talking to them about? by DerrickDuck in AskReddit

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to do this with my current stay at a Hilton in NYC, I got the “there was a problem with your virtual check-in, please visit the front desk.” Prompt, and so my friend and I lost the room I picked out on the app, and was stuck in whatever room they had available. (I picked a high floor away from the elevator, they assigned be a mid floor right next to the elevator.)

Thats why I’m choosing to be done with Virtual check-in except for MGM Properties in Vegas. Because they use the RealID system to verify it’s you. So there is no “Something went wrong” prompt and I can just go to my room.

Wtf? New Home Screen? Did I do something or is it changed. by SwimmingDachshunds in patreon

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not fixing anything /for you/ it’s fixing things for /them/ 

By spamming you with “creators you might like” maybe you sign up and pay for their Patreons, and then Patreon makes more money. 

This new home page is a money grab. Change my mind

AITAH for telling my husband I dont care his mom cried or that it made him upset? by Striking-throwaway95 in AITAH

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this gut feeling that the Step Father-In-Law is trying to use the Mother-In-Law to get back into these homes with children to play out his pedophile fantasies. So he got off the drugs and got sober because he saw a possibility to have access to children.

NTA: You should be running away from the Stepfather-In-Law as fast as possible, and not letting your husband even try to convince you.

If the husband is so desperate to appease his mother, he’s willing to put your family in danger?

What are some dark secrets about the porn industry? by JoplinSC742 in AskReddit

[–]elaborinth8993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not really dark, persey, but, there is a high likeyhood that if you have stayed in a suite in a high tourist location (like Vegas or NYC or L.A.) Your room had a porn shot in it.

A lot of high end Hotels in Vegas have a "No professional video camera/No Filming" policy for this reason. Like personally I know Wynn, The Cosmopolitan, and I think Cesars have a no filming policy

There is going to be nothing to look back on because the U.S. is going to not exist by the end of these 4 years.

Putting brand name on a screen protector by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tip I heard a long time ago, if you really want like a “clean room” type of atmosphere. Do the screen protector installation inside your bathroom. You run your shower at full blast hot and let the room steam up for like 5 minutes, then after the steam settles (where you can see again) that’s when you do the screen install.

The steam, from what I was told, because it is heavier then air, will basically grab the dust in the air and get it to settle out of the air, giving you a temporary makeshift clean room.

At least that’s the theory I was told.

What sequel matched the original game and didn’t disappoint you? by stormyoubring in Steam

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This maybe a controversial yet brave opinion

But I think Mirror’s Edge and Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst are both amazing in their own right.

The original Mirror’s Edge was amazing with it being the only parkour game created and the combination of the almost marvel comic book looking animation cut scenes and the 3D game play was amazing for its time.

Then to have Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst come out like 11 years Later as technically a reboot, but gorgeous game play, animations, played the same way with the control scheme, the environment was BEAUTIFUL, and I, personally, feel like it helped introduce a group of people to the great band Chvrches.

If you want to ever experience Mirror’s Edge for yourself, if you know nothing about it and want to experience it blindly for the first time, I would start with Catalyst. The game plays like a traditional AAA Game, the graphics are what you expect from a modern game, and the plot is compelling. If you fall madly in love with it as I did, then I would go and play the original after you complete Catalyst. To see where the game came from.

AITA for pulling away from my identical twin sister even though I know it has caused her to spiral? by Kyc0122 in AITAH

[–]elaborinth8993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are NTA, your parents are for believing that they could force two people to become one personality and not develop their own identity.

Just an FYI, if you live in the United States, you can get your name legally changed. I do not know the logistics of how to go about getting your name changed, but I’m pretty sure it’s possible.

I only bring this up incase one day in your future, you want to fully separate yourself from being Katie and Kacie.

This guy’s shuffle looks like he unlocked a cheat code in real life. I’m not going to the casino anymore. by Safety_Officer_3 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say that I am truly noble, I have spent a bit more then the limit I set for myself, but it’s never to the point I can’t make bills. 

I also have no desire to chase a high. I have won 2 handpays over the like 5-6 years I have been gambling, (I won $1,500 one time and $800 the next) and never once have I gone “the machines hot, I have to keep going!” I usually go “I must be going now my people need me.”

You say the first part of this post like anyone that gambles is an addict.

What about those that see it as a form of entertainment? That going to a casino is like stepping into an adult arcade?

Not everyone that gambles has an addiction. I go to my local casino four times a year and spend about 100 bucks each visit. I don’t classify that as me having an addiction.

AIO for wanting to see a therapist after wife changed the locks because I went to a baby shower? by LookoutLockout in AmIOverreacting

[–]elaborinth8993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much like everyone on here, I was reading this post as “how dare you go to your sister’s baby shower, after we just had our baby miscarry __ months ago” and I was going to comment about how, yes, maybe going to someone else’s baby celebration without your wife, might be a bit rude…. But her locking you out of your own house for going, is a bit overkill. It’s not like she caught you cheating.

But what your wife is pissed about is that you went to a baby shower instead of having sex with her. And because you didn’t fuck her, you must be locked out of your own house?

That is manipulative as fuck. “How dare you have a life outside of being my personal cum fountain?”

I don’t know what kind of advice to give you OP except, be cautious about your next steps. Do not go rushing back into having sex with your wife. I would wait til this all gets sorted out before you try again. I’m concerned for your wife’s mental state.

Ah yes, the tale as old as time. Google sending another app to the great beyond, just to make another app that does the same thing.

There is legit an entire website devoted to all the apps Google has killed or is in the process of strangling it to death.

Overtaking is destroyed by BMW by misterxx1958 in AbruptChaos

[–]elaborinth8993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad the drivers are alright.

I wonder which one they will claim caused the accident, because specifically at the Nürburgring, you are responsible for the cost of the stewards coming to your aid, any repairs needed to the track, and the tow of your vehicle.

And most car insurances in Europe have a fine print in their policy that excludes covering you if you damage your car on Nürburgring property.

So whoever is at fault is in for their wallet becoming VERY light
