Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Apparently, LLMs are so popular among incompetent managers because they have a lot in common. The logical conclusion would be to replace these managers with LLMs instead of laying off experts.
6·2 months agoI have observed a strong correlation between managers whose emails are now obviously written by AI and those who have significant shortcomings.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Protesting needs to evolveEnglish
7·2 months agoI agree that there are further, more specific methods of protest required to enact change.
The US does need protests like No Kings for several reasons. It helps to foster solidarity and community, to make people feel like they are not alone and have many neighbors who feel the same way they do. It helps to make a large group of potentially politically activated citizens accessible to activist groups. It helps to provide an opportunity for exposing attendees to more than the prevailing narratives in the news and social media they consume. And it’s just practice; protesting gets easier the more you do it.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Couple left with $200k bill after baby born in USEnglish
33·3 months agoArguing the care wasn’t covered because the baby wasn’t named in the insurance despite explicitly covering pregnancy-related care is ghoulish behavior. I can’t fathom how you can argue that seriously and not feel like a piece of shit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What tourist destinations do you think are NOT overrated?
7·3 months agoIt’s one of those places where you go and say, “oh okay I get it. This is incredible.” Pictures don’t do it justice. The physicality of being next to it is hard to describe.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Looking for recommendations for a conversation style podcast
1·4 months agoNever Not Funny can be accurately described as, after you get into it, listening to old friends shoot the shit. It will also introduce you to a lot of very funny comedians, many of whom are not super mainstream. Further, it’s been constantly running for 20 years, so you will not run out of content anytime soon.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there anything like church without the church?English
7·4 months agoIf you are willing to risk a financially debilitating addiction to cardboard or minis, your local game store could fill that role. I have jokingly referred to my usually-weekly visit to my LGS as “nerd church,” complete with the tithe of a few booster packs. You have to get lucky though because the quality of community can vary wildly. I am fortunate in that regard.

News@lemmy.world•More 'No Kings' protests planned for March 28 as outrage spreads over Minneapolis deaths
3·4 months agoThe last one I went to also. There was a dedicated section along the march route where a local pro-Palestine group was set up. There were speakers after the march, one of which was representing that group as well. A few other speakers also recognized them to much applause.
Perhaps some specific local chapters decided to sweep this issue under the rug, or perhaps the one local to me ignored a directive to do so.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election?
6·4 months agoI’m not sure it’s worth putting a ton of energy into trying to convince Trump voters. Many of them only come to their senses once they are personally affected by his policies.
There needs to be focus on turning out the majority of Americans who dislike Trump. That has to be done with exciting candidates who focus on our systemic problems and actually want to change things. There’s no amount of window dressing and virtue signaling you can hang on corporatists to make people enthusiastic. They must want to vote for the candidate, not just find them more tolerable.

politics @lemmy.world•More Americans support abolishing ICE than ever before, polling data shows
4·4 months agoNormally I’d concur wholeheartedly. I have concerns about the culture that has permeated ICE and whether it can effectively be resolved through reorganization. Perhaps specific functions can be spun off into a new or existing department.

politics @lemmy.world•More Americans support abolishing ICE than ever before, polling data shows
8·4 months agoI think it would be more effective to get rid of ICE and use those resources to properly fund the immigration court system, so it can process cases much more quickly.
There is the bigger issue of addressing the causes also. Over a century of destabilizing its neighbors to exploit them for private profit and keep them firmly within the US sphere of influence has predicability created a lot of migration. Fixing that will take many years though.

And if you have 100+ hp, it just won’t affect you in 2014 rules. 12d12 psychic in 2024 for that case though.
