I think of the “bad” dates I would want to be able to warn other women of that didn’t rise to the level of calling the cops. The guy who ordered triple the food and drinks I did and skipped out on the bill. The guy who flat out lied about multiple things and then got irate when I politely excused myself from the date. The MAGA weirdo who went on an unhinged rant about how I needed to submit to him because God said so. I imagine some men have comparable experiences with some anti-social women. The experiences coming to mind were not illegal, but were absolutely things I want to spare my fellow humans from.

I would prefer the dating apps themselves have some mechanism for disincentivizing anti-social behaviors. It would have to be more than a simple 5-star rating.

I wonder how it would work IRL to offer the ability to write a few sentences in response to prompts about a date. The written review is not published as-is, but is used in grouping of many reviews to give a summary about a person. Like the summary product reviews on Amazon now. “Bill’s dates found he was prompt and polite. Some dates expressed discomfort at some of his political views” and “Bob’s dates warn he is often late and is quick to use foul language to describe women. Multiple dates report no intention to communicate with Bob further”. “Ben’s dates report he has skipped out on the bill repeatedly, and sends unsolicited dick pics. Multiple dates have blocked him”.

The group summary gives a buffer so the person reviewed doesn’t know which specific date said what. And ensures the summary doesn’t include negative comments about a person unless multiple dates of theirs independently report similar experiences.

Of course a bad actor could ditch their dating profile and start fresh any time they build up enough negative reviews to make their summary look bad. And of course the reviews and the summaries would have to be secured tighter than “Tea” is.

Might want to read up on the origins of Facebook before turning this into a gender wars thing.

I am 0% surprised that Hertz would be the first in the US to roll this out. Expecting a Steve Lehto YouTube video about it within the next three days …

Friendly reminder that Facebook started as FaceMash, an app for men at Harvard to rate the attractiveness of women.

Both are bad. At least these women are nominally using it for safety and not just looks rating.

Finally, I would be really darn cautious of using any app like FaceMash or Tea. Seems like a great way to get sued for defamation. Or to become the target of escalated behavior of one of the bad ones.

Those are some fucked up palm lines. Heart line is okay ish, strong. Head and life lines are… I don’t event know if those have a boilerplate reading they are so unnatural. This pirate might be headed for the love of their life or an early, traumatic death. Godspeed.

On a more serious note, I would suggest you consider simplifying the hand to a solid hand. The hand as-is would be very difficult to reproduce and draws attention from the overall flag design.

The manager noted such an effort would help “connect” warehouse and corporate teams.

Are they trying to build support among the white-collars for unionization of the blue? I can’t think of a better way to boost union support among the white-collars. I hope they get the full experience of having to piss into bottles because break times are too short.

Only 75 out of 287,000 layoffs this year attributed to AI replacement, yet further down, IBM alone has replaced “hundreds” of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

Absolute trash article. Any vague gesture in the direction of a fact is poorly defined with no sources. This should only increase skepticism towards AI replacing writers and journalists.

But one shouldn’t have to.

So an applicant with dangerous people in their life, maybe an abusive family member or a stalker ex, is forced to expose their accounts they would otherwise keep private. That’s the first bad-case scenario that comes to mind, I’m sure there are more.

I propose a new rule - if so for me, then so for thee. Anything imposed on legal applicants is also imposed on the lawmakers who put it in place.

I only vacation in countries that have trained their LLMs to use line breaks.

Use of the terms “warfighter” or “warfighting” is one of the biggest red flags in my life due to the industry I’m in. Big cringe. Might as well just say “I wanna make the world more White and Christian. I’m not in the military but love tacticool fashion. 'Murrica.”

I can’t wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don’t go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.

Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.

If in the US, you stick a thumb out. If in Australia, index finger. Repeat for whichever country you’re in. Contrary to what the Internet often pushes, many other humans are decent people and will stop to help.

I would be more concerned about others unable to reach me. Like, my mom isn’t doing well and if I missed her calls during a health crisis because I wasn’t on wifi, I’d have a hard time with that.

Tech companies do t want us to have friend or family connections. Sad and lonely people buy more stuff.

His math and logic works are a good read. The Game of Logic (1886) for one.

Don’t forget problems with everything around AI too. Like in the US, the Big Beautiful Bill (🤮) attempts to ban states from enforcing AI laws for ten years.

And even more broadly what happens to the people who do lose jobs to AI? Safety nets are being actively burned down. Just saying “people are scared of new tech” ignores that AI will lead to a shift that we are not prepared for and people will suffer from it. It’s way bigger than a handful of new tech tools in a vacuum.

This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.

But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health … sounds almost feasible.

I don’t because I don’t have the necessary depth of skill.

But I don’t say I “blindly” trust anyone who says they’re FOSS. I read reviews, I do what I can to understand who is behind the project. I try to use software (FOSS or otherwise) in a way that minimizes impact to my system as a whole if something goes south. While I can’t audit code meaningfully, I can setup unique credentials for everything and use good network management practices and other things to create firebreaks.

Is that really the message you got? It’s worded differently than what I see in mine.
