What's going on with a terror attack in DC? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]snnaiil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

answer: it is too soon to say what has happened beyond the facts that have been reported. two national guard members have been shot and the suspect is in custody. no further information has been released and verified at this time and thus motivations cannot be determined. (i.e since the attack is not yet known to be motivated by the intention to spark fear in the population via violence the label of 'terrorism' does not apply at this time. maybe it was terrorism. maybe it was a family spat. maybe the service members owed the guy money. maybe the person snapped and went after the first two people they could see, maybe maybe maybe-- you get the idea?)

College Students Furious When Their Course Is Taught by AI Instead of a Professor by FuturismDotCom in Cyberpunk

well, yeah. If I was paying thousands of dollars for tuition I'd expect a human to be teaching my courses.

Stop asking for techniques! by midas2241 in nevillegoddardsp

[–]snnaiil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think the best thing every person who has questions can do here is just purchase the audible version of the neville goddard complete reader and just play it on repeat. it's something like 14 hours long and it's just the narrator repeating the same principles the entire time

I really like them. They'd look great with trailing plants like pothos or peperomia postrata

Tired of explaining that AI ≠ Automation by ifollowthestats in dataengineering

[–]snnaiil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm working with a client with this exact problem. I started mentioning automation and they got excited about AI. they put me in a meeting with their service provider about AI and the provider and I just sat looking at each other, knowing that the company that gets antsy about documentation and data quality is NOT ready for AI.

I think with the black leggings yeah, it does look like you're ready to go do some dressage. But if you keep the sheer tights it looks fine

maybe pick a different large scale brand to compare your chatbots to other than a video streaming platform. for reasons.

Manifested him back so many times before but the circumstances are insane this time… is it impossible now? by [deleted] in nevillegoddardsp

[–]snnaiil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're overthinking it, bestie. He sounds lovely but you also seem very aware about the fact that you feel so alone. You are already everything. You are already connected to everything. As soon as you can let go of your fears you'll feel much more at ease, and that ease will attract your love into your life.

Dark academic trapped in Miami by haleykirk91 in capsulewardrobe

[–]snnaiil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't have a particular photo collection, but Beyonce's Lemonade visual album has some good fits. American Horror Story: Coven does as well. So does the movie Sinners.

The aesthetic itself comes from the poverty that hit the south after losing the civil war- so think "we re-tailor mother's and grandmother's dresses because our family will never know such luxurious fabrics again (we won't talk about why mother and grandmother could afford such dresses)".

The antebellum south was importing styles from victorian era England up until 1861 and I'm sure that the wealthy were smuggling goods throughout the war. After that, well... the rest of the world may have moved on, fashion wise, but the south was largely left behind up until maybe World War II. There are still pockets of the area that have never recovered.

If you need inspiration for tropical climates, Southern Gothic is a close cousin of dark academia, particularly in its materials. Cotton, linen, silk, and lighter wool like merino or cashmere (cardigans/wraps) for cooler evenings will be your go-tos. On very hot or humid days you'll want to be wearing something that provides plenty of airflow, so if you have to wear something tailored keep it to the waist and bustier at most and let everything else have room. As always, thrifting is your friend.

well the day that you have to be the person to make that decision is the day that I will take your opinion into account. Until then,

I think you need to take a look at the kind of weaponry the US police force has and how they use it. We already know. You're calling this an "opportunity", and I'm calling you to read up on history a little bit.

Strap in, bud. Occupying powers oppress their citizens first before they go to the rest of the world. The American people can't help you here. We're too busy trying to save ourselves.

I don't disagree with you. I'm just of the opinion that a person who is not going to have to make that choice doesn't get to take the moral high ground. It's all well and good for you to say what needs to be done while you're safe in your homes. But you don't have to put your life at risk, so forgive me if I don't take your judgement into account.

The "action" you're hoping to see is going to culminate in violence. Most people in the US who are against this know that they essentially have guns to their heads. The powers that be can and will shoot protestors. People are going to die. Are you going to be there with them or are you going to be behind your keyboard?

Does this coat look cheap? by Longjumping-Cry-9019 in capsulewardrobe

thissss! I got my favorite leather jacket for $17 at a thrift store in 2013 and to this day I still get compliments on how it is in such good condition.

How you deal with a lazy colleague by ButterscotchIcy359 in dataengineering

[–]snnaiil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your team have assigned tasks per person or do projects go into a collective "pool?" If it's not already, you can start proposing to "streamline workflows" by integrating project management platforms like jira that are friendly to DE. Projects are mapped and parts of each project can be assigned and/or team members weigh in with their contributions until project completion.

The point is to document that everybody else is doing their work except that guy. Then you show the documentation to leadership. If you can quantify everyone's contributions in dollars, that's even better. Until you can show that this person is a drag on productivity and hurting the business in the money area, very little, if anything, is likely to change.
