Yep, that's pretty much the standard salad where I live. Most people understand that's not really healthy, but it still feels healthier than bread sticks and butter. The cherry tomatoes are the extra convincing we need to actually call it "healthy"

I've had to train literally hundreds of people over the various jobs I've had and it causes me to over explain in almost every conversation.

I got two tricks to figure out how much someone knows about a topic and encourage them to ask questions rather than lie just to avoid being a little uncomfortable.

First, I look for them to use vocabulary that I haven't already mentioned or if they seem to understand something just by using a couple words.

Second, I ask them to explain something early in the conversation to make it easier to ask if they don't understand something later. It's usually really simple, but it really does work to lower communication barriers.

I like to think it makes us feel more like equals trading expertise, rather than like I'm some authority talking down to them.

I hope this helps anyone

Cherry tomatoes are the things you put in a salad at a restaurant to feel healthy, then pick them out once you get back to the table.

The scary movie that got me was No Man's Land. A serial killer kills himself to avoid being taken to prison and his ghost traps the whole town while he goes on a killing spree.

I watched it again years later and it wasn't nearly as scary as I remembered. I was like 12 and it was 2 in the morning, so it chilled my sleep deprived self to the bone.

Oddly enough, this movie wasn't what gavee the worst nightmare I ever had. That honor belongs to the kids show Chalk Zone. The episode with the pink, hair eating frogs scared me in my dreams so bad I still get goosebumps just remembering it.

You'll have to ask me after I do it, I'm not sure how I'll feel

The US really is becoming a third world country by the day, isn't it. God I hate it here

Honestly at this point, even a low corruption government seems harder than balancing a boulder on a toothpick for the super powers of the world

The first one I get, but the rest have issues.

The giving water to voters thing is for political candidates. Gift giving is by far the most effective way to manipulate people into doing what you want. That's why Jehovah's witnesses give you a free book when they're on mission.

Peaceful public assembly is litterally protected by the constitution. That doesn't stop police from declaring peaceful assembly a riot and shutting it down, but that's a different matter.

Arguing with cops never gets you anywhere good. Likewise insulting them to their face.

Nazis are objectively wrong and bad, but their right to peacefully assemble in public is just as protected as yours. Attacking them unprovoked is assault even if you have the moral high ground.

I agree with the spirit of everything you said. It's just that vigilante justice just flat out doesn't work. You become an example of your party's supposedly blatant corruption and now they have someone to rally against. In most cases laws need to be changed, not broken.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think that's what the meme was meaning. I think it meant when you leave empty handed, it looks like you're shoplifting. That makes you nervous and you start acting weird which makes you look even more suspicious and more nervous. Wash, rinse, and repeat till you get home and cry because social situations are awkward and hard and life would be so much easier if I was alone on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in that one movie.

... I might've lost track towards the end, but you get the idea.

I've had them before. If you want to hide them, wear a jacket or sweater. It's not a big deal anymore though. The only people that ever said anything was friends and family teasing a bit. I'd still have them if my body didn't reject them so often, but that's just something to do with me

I put tor on a flash drive. It bypassed the schools website blocks, so I could go onto any website I wanted. I mainly just went to YouTube to listen to music while I worked. If I really felt like goofing off, I'd go to friv.com and play a bunch of flash games.

Of course a couple friends had me to go to a porn website, but we quickly realized it was awkward and not as fun to be horny when you couldn't do anything about it.

I don't really have the time to look for timestamps, but he does present his arguments from many different angles. I highly recommend watching the whole thing if you can.

Aside from that, the main thing I want to address is the responsibility of these big corporations to curate the massive library of content they gather. It's entirely in their power to blacklist certain things like PII or sensitive information or hate speech, but they decided not to because it was cheaper. They took a gamble that people either wouldn't care, didn't have the resources to fight it, or would actively support their theft if it meant getting a new toy to play with.

Now that there's a chance they could lose a massive amount of money, this could deter other ai companies from flagrantly breaking the law and set a better standard that protects people's personal data. Tbh I don't really think this specific case has much ground to stand on, but it's the first step in securing more safety for people online. Imagine if the database for this ai was leaked. Imagine all of the personal data, yours and mine included, that would be available to malicious people. Imagine the damage that could cause.
