Generative LLM's are garbage

And they hallucinate uncontrollably. You literally cannot trust their output.

For sure, that is also one hell of a run-on sentence in that main block of text. Dude could do with some proper punctuation.

The lack of an apostrophe for “Can see you’re logged in” is unreasonably irritating to this grammatical pedant.

Most of America (all but 7 states) and all of Canada are one-party jurisdictions. That means you can record conversations without anyone else knowing so long as you are a primary participant in said conversation.

If you have an iPhone (which prevents calls from being recorded as a security feature), it helps to invest in a small digital recorder and to take all calls on speakerphone.

If you take communications through apps like Teams or Slack, there are third-party apps that can screen record your entire monitor such that the other person won’t be informed of the recording. Recording through teams, for example, would have Teams tell the other person that the screen is being recorded.

Don’t just record convos that you think might be important. Record all calls just in case someone does something particularly in your favour, such as asking an illegal question.

I once interviewed for a job, was accepted, then showed up on my first day only to find out that the position had been given to someone else.

And with written proof of acceptance, any employment lawyer worth their degree could have gotten you a healthy amount of compensation even after their cut. Behaviour like this by any company is illegal in almost all jurisdictions, and should never be tolerated.

Great summary.

Legally they cannot.

gender supremacists:

“Hold my beer and watch me do exactly that. Again and again and again without any censure or pushback, purely because I am being a gender bigot against men, and for no other reason. We have full societal and legal ability to employ open misandry, because opposition of any kind is misogyny by default.”

domestic violence happens to men too.

71% of non-reciprocal (only one person being abusive) physically violent (actually striking) domestic violence involves women striking men.

As in, 71% of those victims are men.

And under those same conditions (non-reciprocal physically violent DV), two-thirds of victims that were injured seriously enough to require hospitalization were men, yet almost 100% were also arrested as the “perps”, even though they were the only victims.

Losts of people have problems with these facts. Wild how bad anti-reality ideological indoctrination has gotten.

There are fake job postings.

IIRC, there was one very recent (mid-2024) study of job ads that strongly suggested that 60-75% of them were never meant to be filled. As in, the company posted them for entirely unrelated reasons.

It’s why these are called “ghost jobs”: they don’t exist.

I wasn't talking about pedal confusion

Then why respond to my comment? Because pedal confusion was 100% of the subject under consideration. All you did was add noise to the signal by bringing in something entirely unrelated to what I was talking about.

Pedal confusion has to do with the person, not the size of vehicle that they drive.

Next: move minimum wages in-line to what they would have been had they been locked to productivity gains since 1970.

Hint: $30+/hr.

Better yet: lock minimum wage to being no less than 3× median rent for any one region

IMO, any confirmed case of “pedal confusion” in a driver should be followed by an irrevocable loss of the driver’s license for life, and a ban on driving anywhere, anywhen.

I would even gladly see an international registry to prevent people like these from moving to other countries and getting driver’s licenses there.

If you cannot tell which pedal is which, and maintain 100% control over which is getting pressed, you are a lethal threat to everyone around you. You cannot be allowed to drive, full stop end of story. There is no reality in which you could ever be “safe” behind the wheel.

And we have similar limitations for other people: those subject to medication-resistent grand mal seizures also cannot drive for much the same reasons, in that there is no way to prevent them from being a lethal threat once operating a vehicle.

I have seen these before, but for the life of me I cannot seem to recall what they are called or what they’re for.

Google search - especially image search, where I’m trying to bring up similar items - is now a total potato and seemingly capped at one screen of results in a secure and sanitized browser.
