If AI was so great, it would find a solution to operate at fraction of the cost it does now

That's what pisses me off about the Gadsden flag.

The flag has been described as the "most popular symbol of the American revolution". Its design proclaims an assertive warning of vigilance and willingness to act in defense against coercion. This has led it to be associated with the ideas of individualism and liberty.

These are some of the ideals that I favor and stand behind. But now the right wing loonies have corrupted it and use it for their own purposes.

This how they operate. Even though I work from home, I was being completely overworked and stressed out at the end of last year. As soon as my 401k match went through at the beginning of January, I turned in my notice without a new job lined up. I did do one video interview, but didn't get the gig.

On my very last day of employment I was contacted by a zone vp and asked to stay. He offered a new position for a pilot they were rolling out and about a $10k increase. I took it. It's been a lot better, but still sucks so I interviewed with someone else today. Point is, that these big corporations don't really give a shit about there employees. Regardless of what they say or the BS they plaster all over their websites and social media. You are disposable and they will take advantage of you at every opportunity.

It's a shitty way to do business, but it's up to the individual to look out for themselves and be willing to take some risks. Work hard and learn as much as possible. Make yourself invaluable and you'll be in a lot better position to make it

All of this is happening with my company as we speak. I actually did a remote interview today while on my lunch hour. And my current company has just rolled out plans for "clerical help" based out of India. I'm in the U.S.

I guess when you keep putting out garbage movies that are losing hundreds of millions of dollars, you need to make it up somewhere

I've always thought this photo looks so fake. But the actual Trent interviews are the total opposite and very compelling

I say this to my son sometimes. "Throw me the clicker." The first time he looked at me like WTF are you talking about. Told him it's another name for the remote, but didn't tell him why, so he still has no idea

They already tried that in the 80s

I don't understand this comment:

"In reality, this does next to nothing to lift the company’s nearly 200,000 part-time workers out of poverty. “If they start at $21 an hour, at 3 to 3.5 hours a day, you’ll have to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet,”

On what planet is someone working 3 hrs a day expected to be able to afford a place to live and pay their bills? What an asinine thing to say.

I agree in general, however they are here as well. Already experienced it myself. Those types will never go away completely.

I'd even say that going to the theater sucks balls. The picture and sound quality usually sucks compared to a high quality download on a 75" 4k TV. Even a high bit rate 1080p video looks better than the theater.

People are hesitant to recommend good providers. If they have one that works well for them and that isn't well known, they don't want anyone messing it up. Some providers don't even want people using their name on forums. For good reason too. Just need to look at what the YouTube gonads didn't with the whole -Kodi streaming box free TV videos plastered all over YouTube. Made it way too easy for The Man to track down who the providers were and bust them.

Is there a way to change the default video player to something other than YT? Like NewPipe or Peertube?
