The whole post reeks of an executive who understands nothing about the site and its problems and therefore doesn't realize that CE isn't the only social board. I know exactly what they are doing. Want to know what the top 3 boards were for marked messages? 1). Politics 2). Current Events 3). PS4 (or whatever the top system board is at the time, probably PS5 now) They killed Politics, they just "killed" CE. They are basically trying to reduce moderations by killing the boards where the trolls go. Completely forgetting that just getting rid of the troll boards is going to make those trolls go to other boards. Even as a person who doesn't talk about politics on public forums, even I know that the solution isn't "ban all political discussion and delete any place where people could potentially do it". --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain |

Now pork loin, I'll buy a whole one of those about once a year and cut it up into enough steaks to last me through grilling season.

He said I was in pretty good shape, but I should probably consolidate all of my old 401Ks into a Roth IRA. Since then though, I have 2 more 401Ks (so 3 total now plus my current one) and opened my own Roth IRA. So having someone manage all of that probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

B) the AWS service Nintendo bought is so overpriced that it actually matters and Nintendo CEOs don't understand that they could do it for less money One of the biggest lies that Amazon and other cloud services have perpetuated is that it is somehow easier to have AWS servers than to just maintain your own. Like, sure, if you are starting out, it is convenient instead of trying to host your own infrastructure. But once you make any kind of money and actually budget out the costs, you are paying way more than you need to. Like in the old days if you needed a server for something and you didn't have a server farm, then you just put it on someone's desk, or kept it in a closet. My old company had a room that wasn't convenient enough to add cubes or an office in, so they just threw a few dozen machines in there and dubbed it a "server room". Add some window air conditioning units and you have a server room for only a few thousand dollars, and the upkeep is way cheaper then you would get from AWS. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain |

| Topic | How much should you spend on an engagement ring? |
| Dikitain 04/04/24 6:43:58 AM #31 | OhhhJa posted...
Isn't the origin story of marriage basically ownership of a woman anyway? Kind of, it was more about the combining/transferring of wealth from one generation to the next. Problem was the best bargaining chip that a lot of people had was "Here, impregnate my daughter and force her into indentured servitude!" Combine that with the fact that being gay 5000 years ago was a foreign concept and you have marriage as we know it today. So yea, it still surprises me that an outdated, sexist, homophobic practice not only still exists today, but that the LGBT community has actively fought to participate in it rather than abolish it altogether. --- My bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/152760030 Comics: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/dikitain |

This is true no matter what you use AI for (writing, recipes, drawing, programming, etc.). People who think AI is going to replace humans have no idea of what abilities AI has.
