Oh yeah, I was gonna mention that, didn’t want to seem like I’m actually advocating for anything though. Unfortunate as it is, I may still have to do business travel to the US at some point and while I’m white enough to hopefully be safe, I wouldn’t want them to think I’m planning on taking any action on my political opinions.

ITT: A bunch of people who think getting Trump elected was the right thing to do, because harm reduction is bad.

Honestly, no idea. Laws vary so much by jurisdiction anyway.

Tbh I agree that there should be an in-person option always. If for no other reason then just to be able to pay in cash. Just make sure to let people know it’s not the most convenient option but it’s available.

I’m not entirely sure what the point of the app is though, compared to a website with payment options. Lots of people will say tracking, but you can get a lot of info through a browser too.

Who in their right mind quotes a former president on a serious matter and makes a typo instead of just… copy-pasting that part of the statement to ensure accuracy lol

Journalist decided to re-type the statement instead of copy-pasting. You’ll notice the distinct lack of a [sic] tag.

There’s only 52 weeks in a year

Whilst a lot of CEOs are either not evil, or maybe are just inconsequential (like the CEO of some random startup with 4 employees creating a new app that’s like Tinder but for whatever else), there’s thousands whose companies are ruining our society and planet.

Though if one were to fall a week, that would maybe at least drive some fear into the others.

I’m from west wyotaho, howdy

Are mayo and sour cream based salads not a thing where you come from?

I’ll agree they don’t deserve to be called salads but they’re pretty common here. The OG potato or pasta salads everyone used to make for every occasion of course have no lettuce or cabbage in them, the greenest thing you may find is peas. The least salady salads of them all.

Hi, I’m here for the job interview.

Just the coffee then? Black, no sugar

Ooh I need to start using this

I wonder if I can get away with saying this to a client

Related to PEBKAC: In Estonian we have a saying: “the problem is in the cardan between the seat and the steering wheel”

Supposedly a fairly eccentric teacher I had (businessman and ex 90s “connected” guy got bored and wanted to teach middle school shop class to confirm the rumors that kids are indeed getting stupider compared to the “good old days”) once managed to get an employee of his to go to the parts store to ask for said “cardan” for their car after asking him for advice.

OP said coffee shop so I’m presuming it’s not a real restaurant, and the app would facilitate ordering without queueing. Which I like. But I don’t wanna download an app, I want to just sit down, scan a QR and pay with one of the cards stored in my phone. And obviously cash should still be a backup option. I can see why they might want to do away with card terminals though.

Lmao that sounds illegal

Oh wait, America is a thing

Not just laptops, even. I’ve fixed desktops that way. Unllug and hold power button.

And I’m fairly sure it might still work in some exceptionally niche scenarios

Always pains me to watch Chuck because it’s a show about an IT support guy and HE ALSO REFERS TO DESKTOP COMPUTERS AS HARD DRIVES LIKE WHAT THE FUCK, WERE THEY ACTIVELY TRYING TO DRIVE US MAD

George BUSH. Not George Shave.

A QR code and a website I could understand. But app? No.

Dataset bias, what else?

Women get paid less -> articles talking about women getting paid less exist. Possibly the dataset also includes actual payroll data from some org that has leaked out?

And no matter how much people hype it, ChatGPT is NOT smart enough to realize that men and women should be paid equally. That would require actual reasoning, not the funny fake reasoning/thinking that LLMs do (the DeepSeek one I tried to run locally thought very explicitly how it’s a CHINESE LLM and needs to give the appropriate information when I asked about Tiananmen Square; end result was that it “couldn’t answer about specific historic events”)
