I’m still not sure why viruses aren’t considered to be alive.

Or men who have had vasectomies, women who have had tubals, anyone infertile…

since humans like platypuses have mammary glands

I love how much the lack of commas (or emdashes) changes the meaning here.

I hate this push against using decent grammar and formatting. Knowing how to use emdash dash or a semicolon or bullet points doesn’t make you a bot.

We might be the minority, but there are still tons of us out there who have always written this way. How do you think the LLMs got it to begin with? It’s mirroring us, not the other way around.

Chocolate rum balls. So good. Why so rare?

Social anxiety doesn’t require low self esteem.

Definitely not when it’s all computer.

Not yet.

I hear it’s been a stressful time. I’m in Seattle. Practically everyone knows someone or other who works at AWS.

I can see how that would be very useful for them to see! I would try not to feel awkward about these things. Easier said than done, I know, but especially with those who have been practicing a while, seeing or hearing something “gross” or personal becomes very mundane to most medical professionals.

And that’s okay! Someday you may be asked again and be more comfortable with it in that situation.

It’s used pretty widely throughout the country in my experience.

I’m one as well, but tend to very literal and don’t always know which interpretation of something will hit and immediately get stuck in my brain.

I would choose something that at least has some resemblance to your real name. I’ve always found it awkward when somebody tells me that their name is, for example, “Liang but call me Peter”. I’d rather call you Liang. Or Larry? Something related to your name somehow.

To me, it’s not really any different than anyone else choosing a nickname and it would be kind of weird if my name was Sean and I decided that everybody should call me Vladimir.

But maybe Cliff does have some resemblance to yours, and I may have had more interaction with Chinese people than your average westerner has.

It definitely seems unusual in the US. I’ve never met a Cliff and was actually myself kind of guessing that it might be more common in the UK.

I’m an American and that’s what I think of it as well. And when I first hear it, I think of a physical cliff, not a person.

Or nurses, or physical therapists, etc, who now are considered “non-professional” degrees and thus won’t be able to take out as much in student loans.

That’s crazy. I never had any of these issues living in Japan. Why does the EU make it so much harder than Japan does?

Pool balls? Like beach balls?

Edit: Billiards balls. Took me way too long.

I make a point to make eye contact with the driver in those sorts of situations. Which is a big part of why darkened front windows should be illegal. You need to be able to see where a driver is looking.
