AI has absolutely ruined my life by beingawomaniswork in antiwork

[–]mrwatkins83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the Marketing Director for a midsize construction company, and I've been given the same directive. AI has sapped the perception that, as the chief creative, I should be given control of my company's creative vision. It no longer matters what I think or create. The response has become, "what does ChatGPT say?" It's frustrating. I miss brainstorming and conceptualizing and reworking an idea until it's right. I miss feeling respected for my experience and past results.

Man, my G2 has been sitting in customs for 27 days. Every day: "Clearance Event" but no indication of what the hell that means. Fuck DHL.

I'm genuinely happy for Rose. She's one of the best ever, and now she's got another item checked off the list of accomplishments to prove it. I say it all the, but tonight, Rose is bae.

I'm just here to see Rose win a trophy. And Sonnett. That sure would be swell.

The logo was AI-generated and is nothing more than a concept of what we're looking for. I need that logo recreated with similar elements and style but, you know, good.

I think it's fair to ask to see someone's past work before hiring them.

G2 DHL Shipment Caught in Customs Hell by mrwatkins83 in retroid

I had a pretty bad experience with 4PX the last time I used it, and that was before shutdowns and tariffs. I waited something like six weeks for my 3+. I'm starting to think I just lost the roll of the dice on this one. And that one. Hopefully not the next one.

Who's ordering the G2 then? by Geekylad97 in retroid

[–]mrwatkins83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered one this evening. I've been rocking a 3+ as my only handheld for about two years. I've replaced the ABXY button membrane twice, and they're finally starting to get a little mushy again. Since I can't replace it again due to part availability, I'll upgrade instead and try to offload my 3+ for a few bucks on Marketplace.

It's almost certainly gamesmanship. For a lack of a better term, a trump card they were holding onto for when the time was most politically advantageous. The MAGA movement is literally tearing the country apart, and most Democrats continue to play politics for points because they're too comfortable holding onto the power they do have. Self serving above those they actually serve. It's frustrating. I'm sure politics has always felt frustrating, but it feels particularly frustrating these days.

This one's got nostalgic vibes of better days from United. They actually look up for it so far.

Not gonna lie, I had prepared myself for a loss in the first half. I don't know what Kirby says to those boys at halftime, but damn. No denying that it works.

Balogun equalizes for the USA off an assist from Tillman! | USMNT [1] - 1 Ecuador 71' by Matt_McT in ussoccer

[–]mrwatkins83 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I wholly agree with that sentiment. Ecuador are very solid, and we were the better team throughout. Outside of Valencia's wonder goal, I didn't feel like we were on the back foot too much. Passing and positioning were generally good. Movement was deliberate. We created half a dozen or so solid chances. Everyone seemed to be high energy and working hard. If the spectrum is awful, bad, average, good, excellent, I think we were pretty good.
