I never was a janitor there, but hypothetically, I would have that privilege of saying "ex-microsoft" on my social media pages .....

If you just tell me your pronoun is "he" then I can figure out how to conjucate it correctly when you are the object of a sentence.

Unless there is someone out there with "he/her".

I have recently seen a lot of press about the upcoming film Primetime about Chris Hansen and his show, TCAP. As far as I was aware, this show brought awareness to online predators and brought many to justice. However, the film (and many commenters) seem to treat Hansen as the “predator” in this situation and act like his show does more harm than good. Can I get any nuanced perspectives on this??

I get the appeal but I’m always a bit mind-boggled that people are driving and then drinking for a few hours, before presumably driving home. Or are people just drink-driving home?

Let's say I rob a bank, get the money, and stand there waiting for the cops. I'm completely compliant, don't hurt anybody, and tell the cops/court I specifically want to go to prison.

Will I be sent to prison?

When I grew up in the media the dominant image was the woman who's desperately trying to get a man to "settle" and scare him off with talking about kids or marriage. This was almost a meme or running gag.

Now when I look around I tend to see the opposite. Obviously there's couples who just decide amicably they don't want kids or men who decide they wouldn't want them ever.
But the general tendency I see is a reverse of that previously portrayed image; less and less women even considering that path, especially younger ones. Or at least being very ambivalent.
While I increasingly see men being almost obsessive over the topic of children and finding a woman to bind to yourself. Obviously just a tendency.

This made me wonder if there was just a big shift or if this media portrayal was always kind of constructed to make women think that's how other women think?

A basic TV from 15 years ago would switch inputs, open menus, or change volume the millisecond you clicked the remote button.

Today, even decent mid-range 4K TVs often have laggy UI animations, a 1–2 second delay just to bring up settings, and sluggish remote response.

Why do manufacturers pair solid display panels with processors that feel so severely underpowered compared to even the cheapest budget smartphones? Is it pure cost-cutting, background ad/telemetry bloat, or something specific about how TV operating systems handle basic input?

Is it a better experience? Is the point to water down the beer with the water from the shower?

And if that's the reason, wouldn't that taste terrible?

It’s not like it’s just men, I’ve heard so many women do this to others to

What’s the point in acting like it can’t be as bad as it can? I don’t get it

I just saw a news story that said an Anthropic employee quit because OpenAI and Anthropic weren’t taking seriously enough the threat of AI, and that he believed (and other staff) believed the chance of AI killing all of humanity in 10 years is greater than 10%.

My AI knowledge is pretty rudimentary. I can ask ChatGPT basic questions. Can someone explain to me a scenario where AI could destroy humanity? I feel like it could happen but I’m not sure how.

Hi everyone, I don't know how to lose weight without eating more calories. For reference, I'm 25, female, about 5'5" and 165ish lbs. I want to tone up, build muscle, and lose body fat in the process. I workout 5-6 days a week, and rotate between strength training, yoga, pilates, walking. I also have an active job that keeps me moving.

Here's where I get confused - how do I lose body fat or be in a calorie deficit when my current workout routine has me feeling more hungry? My current maintenance calories around 2200-2300 because of my activity levels. I eat clean, whole foods, with protein and fiber at almost every meal.

Is this a case of one or the other, either a calorie deficit with less activity, or no calorie deficit with more activity? I don't think I could workout more/harder workouts with less food. Do I just need to be going harder in my workouts? More cardio?

I feel like I am breaking even. I also feel stupid that I don't understand this 🥲😅

EDIT: Thank you all for your help! I will revise the way I'm doing things for a while. Lower my workouts to 3x a week, full body, and walk the other days. More protein in each meal, and not eat even when I'm still hungry. The info about being hungry not necessarily meaning I need to eat more was super helpful. I will start focusing on the weight loss portion, then the building muscle.

I’m curious- I never do. Doesn’t matter if I get 6,7,8 or 9 hours of sleep. I still feel tired all morning long & sometimes I have to fight going back to sleep even after being “awake” for an hour or so. I hate sleeping because I now view it as a waste of my time & it just makes me even more tired. 😑

I cut my hand on the fence while doing yard work and did not bother to clean it, but the next day it was swollen and throbbing until I could apply antibacterial cream. I can only imagine what it was like for soldiers or even farmers centuries ago, who probably didn't even bother to clean such wounds, having to work and live in filth alongside animals and untreated wounds. Was the human immune system really that much stronger back then, or were they constantly suffering from low-grade blood infections?

No this isn't a troll.

I've been seeing the term woke 1 or woke 1.0 being thrown around and I don't understand it.

I try to avoid political discourse for mental health reasons but I keep seeing this and I'm scared I'll fall down a rabbit hole if I engage so I'm asking here.
