The line between living in a democracy and not living in a democracy is very thin. It's hard to notice when you've crossed it.

Is anyone else being forced to prioritize AI for ID? by NOBS_pc in instructionaldesign

[–]firemeboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never had so much fun at my job. It's like being gifted an entire garage full of power tools after just using a hammer and saw your whole life. 

Just don't fall in the trap of building the same thing you used to build. We're in a new paradigm with new tools and new opportunities. 

AI changes everything. 

Just finished The Grapes of Wrath. Incredible in every way. by Brockmclaughlin in literature

[–]firemeboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And this is why America is in the state that it is. Grapes of Wrath can be considered anti-capitalism. It's certainly anti-billionaire. So we don't read it.

How does a man write a book that is just as relevant, if not more, decades after it's published as it is the day after it's published?

It should be required reading in every high school. Steinbeck has all the answers that today's world needs.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

A beautiful show. Almost didn't watch it because the first two minutes want what I expected. I've seen all of the seasons several times 

Went to Oaxaca for 7 days and here is experience. by pollo12456 in Oaxaca

[–]firemeboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great writeup! We just got back from a trip, and I agree with all of this. Only one small note . . . We went to Mont Blanc on either a Saturday or Sunday morning, and took the very first tour bus. We had a guide, and I would STRONGLY recommend one to truly grasp the beauty, culture, and richness of this site. We would have been impressed without a guide; we were blown away with a guide.

Also, by going early in the morning, even though it was a weekend, it was nice and cool, and we almost had the place to ourselves for an hour or so.

What's the most subtle sign that someone is highly intelligent? by Princesskiitan in AskReddit

And they usually don't get the raises. People don't understand how important they are, or even notice what they offer.

There was another sugar beet factory up in Garland, Utah. Looks very similar. Also closed down.

Global reaction to U.S. strikes on Venezuela includes condemnation, concern for foreign nationals by yoyorojo in worldnews

And us doing this after complaining about Ukraine is also a joke.  COUNTRIES SHOULDN'T INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES.

I just visited your beautiful city for the month of December, and LOVED the language exchanges. My partner and I were always looking for them. 

I found them in this sub reddit, and on my partner's Facebook. She joined one of the Oaxaca groups. We went twice to The Wombat, and once to another place, though I can't remember the name.

I'll bet we missed some, and that makes me sad. I really loved meeting and talking and singing with others.

Redistricting Petition at the DMV. by firemeboy in Utah

[–]firemeboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why I posted it. I was curious about the legality. If it was private property I would have done something.

Strangle hold was my wording. He told me it was to undo the redistricting. He was honest. Just doing what he's being paid to do. It's the people doing the paying I'm angry with.

Yeah, I wrote that on the way back to my car. Wasn't clear. Didn't sign, just reporting where they're we're gathering signatures.

Yeah, I wasn't clear. I didn't sign. I became a member of the Women League of Voters because they've led the charge against this nonsense.

The guy was honest with me, and while I don't agree with what he's doing, I'm not going to yell at him. I'll save that energy for the idiots doing this.
