I don't even have to pretend I'm not working when I'm in the office. I'm constantly being interrupted by people to the point where I only get maybe 2 hours of good working conditions total throughout the day. I may spend a good amount of my time at home blatantly not working, but even then I'm still getting more work done in a day than trying and failing to work for 8 hours in the office.

My only regret is only being born with 7 fingers to give...

It all makes sense when you realize who makes the cutoff for what they consider "people."

I didn't even think it could mean anything other than that until I started reading the comments. Coming from Trump this certainly reads more like a "finish them!" than a "leave them alone!"

As far as I can tell, the word "boomer" has shifted from "an out-of-touch adult from the baby boomer generation" to "an out-of touch adult."

Of course we would. If the news said "we're doing great" we'll think we're doing great. The vast majority of Americans will do 0 research at all into the actual state of the war, and either believe the news because it said so, or disbelieve the news because it said so.

Because he knew nobody would actually enforce it.

I managed to find love through online dating, but it's true that you need to put a lot of time and effort into making an interesting and informative profile, sorting through all the low-effort users to find the people who are actually invested, and crafting engaging and personalized opening messages for the people among them who you happen to find attractive. There's a big incentive to just spam everyone with "hey," but all that does is put more money in the company's pockets from months of no hits.

Yeah, I was disappointed in the tonal shift. I could've watched Deku and friends learn superheroing for 10 more seasons, slowly getting closer to real pros, and been happy. It feels like it's a sudden mad dash to the finale now.

This is some Made in Abyss type shit, and I'm all for it .

It's not like the chef is in charge of advertising. There's a reason they don't use actual food to make the advertisements, and it's because actual food can't reliably look like that.

Hmm... That's a good point. I've been focused on whether or not the final product is art, and it's definitely not, because again, it's created by a machine that can't express itself, but it's true that the prompt itself may be considered art. The thing that can make a shovel into art isn't the shovel itself, but the self-expression coming out in the artist's idea to look at it in a way that elevates it to become art. But there's a difference between elevating something mundane into art, and randomly declaring things to be "art." Marcel Duchamp's work is art, but I think most would agree that people who ridicule it by saying things like "Okay, then this pencil's called 'Mr. Writey' now - it's art!" are not creating art. Maybe the only real difference is intent? I'll have to think on this one, but I appreciate your insight!
