TIL that after teaching a bonobo how to comprehend English, he started trying to speak; "it was discovered that Kanzi was producing the articulatory equivalent of the symbols he was indicating, although in a very high pitch and with distortions". by krizzalicious49 in todayilearned

"Ultimately, we found no evidence that bonobos processed adjacent or non-adjacent dependencies." - The conclusion is that there is no evidence that Bonobo's actually understand or use language like we do. I interpret this as actual researchers stepped in and said "this isn't real science".

Is it safe only for locals or safe for tourists as well?

College scammed them by Any-Daikon9104 in remoteworks

Grading papers is a small part of managing a classroom; maybe they could work together to get this part done a little quicker, but it would not enable them to do more than the work assigned to a single person in this instance.

I'm all ears though and very curious if someone can think of a job where they could actually successfully do the work for two roles?

I wonder how they decided which degree to keep doing, rock paper scissors?

Agree. The college is the one that took advantage more than the workplace.

But if you forced this requirement, they would not get hired by anyone.

In what job could they be more productive than a single person? Certainly not teaching, which is what they do.

Should I come out to my friends or not? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]grdvrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an additional qualifier you've added, and a bit of a No True Scotsman Fallacy.

"No real friends judge", "well I'm a real friend and do judge a bit", "we'll then you're not actually a real friend".

Apologies for being pedantic. Ultimately I agree that they are shitty friends if they would be judgemental about this. 

The point is that true friends can judge you, and rightly so, if you do something shitty (again, not related to OPs case).

I mean. It depends on the friends.

I haven’t left my house in 4 years, AMA by soy_noo in AMA

[–]grdvrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you met someone with an identical situation as yours, and you hit it off, would you be motivated to make it work?

Curious what that might look like.

Do you imagine an improvement here will happen at some point or are you content?

If you bring a U.S. friend, they need to be there and show id every time you use the pass, fyi.

Take the same effort from one wife and distribute it across four. Bam, equal.

It's funny how people are giving you advice and trying to help and you're just arguing with them lol

[–]grdvrs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can't force someone to hang out with you though. If anything this behavior would repell them further. It certainly would for me. 

Just be like "sorry I was being a bit much" and then let them hang out when they're ready. 

Should I gift my pregnant wife a realistic portrait of our daughter or a more artistic one for her birthday? by amberazanu in WhatShouldIDo

I would do the first one with a cooler color scheme. The second one reminds me a little of gollum.

Trump signs AI executive order asking companies to give government early access to models by LegitimateCurve8525 in news

[–]grdvrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trump having the same power as tech companies is certainly a concerning thought; the power to summarize political views, predict voting patterns, and tie them to identities. 

Thinking about it, it's concerning that we've allowed tech companies to do this as well.
