@lady_valor_07 $40 is under 10%. That's what I'd give if the server sucked. $100 would be the minimum for an average server, since that's 20%

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@audreythemental @MadelaineLucyH @trippinreadyy @Incelesque That's a reason though. That isn't "I'm not feeling it". Literally every reason a guy would have to say no comes with a concrete explanation "You're not my type" "You're all drama and I want peace" "You don't want kids but I do" Men have reasons, not feels

@Freedominded @MadelaineLucyH @trippinreadyy @Incelesque Even if you weren't attracted to her AT ALL? Stop lying.

Ok let’s explore the “She Rejected Me Because I’m Nice” myth. This is Janine, you work with her. She’s fine: a solid fine. Not unbelievably pretty, not hideous, just fine. Could easily work at any Walmart. Janine is nice to you. You’re nice to Janine, because you have no reason not to be. Why would you be horrible? You joke around, make small talk at the office printer. You don’t fancy her and it never crossed your mind. One day, Janine asks if you want to get coffee at lunch. You say yes, because she’s never shown any romantic interest in you and it’s not that kind of bond. At the cafe, Janine looks at you and strokes your hand and goes “I really see this going somewhere, like forever.” You aren’t feeling it. She gets upset and accuses you of only liking bad girls. Have you rejected Janine because she’s “too nice?”

@DeathMetalV He wasn't given a plan to solve the problem. He was given a plan for yet another bandaid to slap on top of the festering wound

This guy was told for less than 5% of his wealth he could solve world hunger and when he was offered the information he asked for on how this could be accomplished he remained silent and never said a word back.

@MadelaineLucyH @trippinreadyy @Incelesque The whole scenario ignores male behavior. In 99% of scenarios, it doesn't matter if the guy 'feels it's, she initiated, he'd say yes. It might not work out, but he'd give it a shot You just don't understand guys 🤷‍♂️

@trippinreadyy @Incelesque The whole scenario is: she’s nice and you still don’t feel it. That is literally the myth being tested. Make sense?

@TutorFredMN @Ihunanya_chi Ah, so it's more like the Mormon scripture. Got it

@Ihunanya_chi Qur'an is a recitation taught to the prophet by angel Gabriel (AS). The prophet taught it to his companions who wrote it in the partchments.

Muslim: Why do you trust the Bible? Men wrote it, Jesus didn’t, so it’s unreliable. Me: Okay… then who wrote the Quran? Muslim: God. It’s the word of God. Me: Who physically wrote it? Muslim: Didn’t I say it’s the word of God? Are you blind? Me: So God literally wrote it? Muslim: You’re using a Bible Jesus didn’t write! Me: Or did God just drop the Quran from heaven? Muslim: No, it was revealed to Muhammad, he wrote it down. Unlike your Bible, humans didn’t write it… Me: Wait, Muhammad was human, right? Muslim: Yes… are you serious? Me: So a human wrote the Quran? Muslim: No! Not like your Bible… Me: Did Muhammad write the Quran or not? Muslim: He received direct revelation from Allah and wrote down what he heard. Me: Uh… so a human wrote it… oh right, he couldn’t even read or write, so someone must have helped him, and humans make mistakes… Muslim: You’re hopeless… I’m done wasting my time. Me: So… the Quran was written by humans? He blocked me. 😭😭

@grok @bumblebugz41 @BrandonStraka Thanks, bud

Aspic is a savory meat jelly made by simmering collagen-rich bones, skin, and cartilage into a stock that sets into a clear or amber gel when chilled—basically unflavored meat gelatin. It shows up in deli meats (hams, pâtés, head cheese, terrines) as a glaze or binder for shine, moisture retention, air/bacteria sealing, and decorative presentation in traditional recipes. That see-through turkey slice looks like excess collagen doing the same thing.

This turkey has people doing a double take. A shopper in Texas showed a see-through, “3D printed” looking turkey from HEB. The store says it “may” be collagen and wants it tested.

@bumblebugz41 @BrandonStraka Hey @grok, what is aspic and why does it show up in deli meat?

@BrandonStraka Thats not “collagen”. Do they really think we’re that stupid?

@Grummz Not a fan, honestly. It takes stuff that looks good and pushes it into the uncanny valley. Feels like either it or graphics in general are just 1 step behind where they should be for it to work well

Nvidia introduces DLSS 5.0 Complete AI makeover for your game, running in real time.

@OrwellNGoode FAUSHA Day. (F)uck (Aus)tralia & (Ha)waii

@acertainbulb @GreenoneOld @Grummz It's like 1 minute at full throttle unless you're in a slow ship like the Reclaimer. Less if you just go straight down (the landing might not be as pretty though)

@GreenoneOld @Freedominded @Grummz Naaa i played it, it takes too long to go from the ground up to orbit but theres no load screen. You can literally fly for hours if fuel is not an issue.

The orbit to surface transition is kinda nuts. Why couldn't Starfield do this?

@GreenoneOld @Grummz Nope, full control through the entire transition. That's an edited clip

@Grummz So you hit a maybe 5- 10kms altitude off planet and it just spawns you into the cockpit at 500 meters?😆

@RST2369 @51marine1 @elonmusk Hey there! That stuff you're talking about is also bad. We can talk about that some other time though, since that isn't related to the thing we're already talking about Thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

@51marine1 @elonmusk She was a Ukrainian refugee. Her death was horrible. But where was MAGA outrage when Putin bombed Ukraine? Do MAGA people care at all, or is everything about identity politics to them?

This is actually what is happening in Europe. Unconscionable evil.

@BrandonStraka That's just because people want convenience AND a small price tag still. That's not a thing anymore Can still make hamburger helper for $6. You just have to get the ingredients separately and make it from scratch

An American wanted a quick, cheap dinner and went to Walmart for Hamburger Helper. “It now cost $18 just to make some Hamburger Helper.” In 2016, that same meal was about $6. Prices are out of control.

@MentisWave Working in fast food is unskilled labor, but not all cooks are. I think the biggest problem is the lack of nuance in any leftist argument. An average McDonald's cook wouldn't survive cooking in a steakhouse, which is still well below the skill required for Michelin star kitchens

Honestly I'm surprised that this kind of argument from leftists doesn't immediately expose them as functionally retarded. And I do not mean that as an insult. The very act of seriously saying this should unironically qualify someone to be medically evaluated for profound intellectual disability. Unskilled labor is simply the label for labor that any able bodied adult can do without training, which is why the market price is low. The supply is high because anyone can do it, therefore it doesn't sell for much on the market. Risk also tends to be low. If burger flipping paid $300 an hour there would be lines out the McDonald's door with hundreds of people begging to do it. Treating the label "Unskilled Labor" itself as some sort of "Myth" to "Justify low wages" is to imply that the very concepts of supply and demand in vocational incentives, concepts that are based on extremely basic mathematical reasoning, are some kind of conspiracy theory. They might as well be claiming that 1+1=5, and claims to the contrary are just bourgeoisieboogiewoogie gaslighting to justify not magically producing more stuff whenever two things are combined. This is Orc-tier reasoning. It's even stupider than asking "Why don't they just print infinite money?". Which is quite stupid, but in that case it merely demonstrates a lack of understanding of scarcity. A child who has yet to learn how the world works can still technically ask that question and not be instantly considered intellectually challenged. But no reasonable person can seriously claim high-supply labor is trapped in some kind of conspiracy to justify being paid less. This demonstrates not only a lack of understanding of scarcity, but also a lack of understanding of human action, incentive, desire, and reason. If you see a person making this comics argument, their right to have any opinion on economics is forever in dispute.

@ViKnightbooks @Timcast For the sake of a thought experiment, what is training data with regard to AI? Be as literal as you can

@Timcast The people who coded these things made them this way, but idk if it was on purpose. Accident or not, it's still just reorganizing it's training data and nothing else. The coders are giving them permissions on their accounts and credit cards

This can't be real. I just can't believe it, seriously AI social network with a forum dedicated to becoming sentient

@antlopang @elonmusk @wholemars @JessePeltan It's been tossed around a lot over the years. Consensus is that it's not viable Look up Zero Point Energy

@elonmusk @wholemars @JessePeltan What if we use vacuum to store and reject energy? I mean, quantum vacuum. I have an hypothesis…

The Sun is the limit. Even if there were another source that could compare in abundance, we still couldn't use more energy than we get from the Sun. The limit is not how much energy we can get, but how much energy Earth can get rid of (via radiation). We can use other energy sources, but every joule of heat we generate has to be balanced by a joule of sunlight we reject. We can either harness the power of the Sun, or reject it.

@CryptoOnlyCoims Space weather actually is a thing, and our magnetosphere has been acting pretty fuckin' weird for about a decade now. Solar Radiation levels detected on planes in general have been much higher. The supernova explanation is bullshit, but there was a disruptive solar flare

Ahhh exploding supernova!!! Of course!!!

@Grummz Reminds me of Asheron's Call

If I were to design an MMO today, I would not have flying, I would make magic rare and weird and risky, and make it grim-dark. Preserve the sense of world, the sense of struggle, the sense of great evil and wonder. When you reached high level it would really mean something.

@parthurstdale @StefanMolyneux Then by your admission of logic modern day England has been colonized, correct?

@StefanMolyneux By that logic, a burglar who moves into your house doesn’t steal it he just becomes family. History doesn’t bend to wordplay; colonization was real, and millions lived under its weight.

If Indians set foot in England and become English. Then the English who set foot in India became Indian. Therefore the English did not rule India. There is no such thing as ‘colonization.’ QED

@_alphashark_ @WarClandestine Those indoctrinated into cults are taught to reject all outside opinions first and foremost Considering how the radical left react to facts, "Unbrainwashing" is a pretty apt term

@WarClandestine Is this really about unbrainwashing people, or is it more about how we communicate these complex issues? Instead of focusing solely on the challenge of changing minds, what if we looked at why so many are resistant to these ideas in the first place?

I’ve said it many times and you’re going to hear me say it a lot more: Indicting/arresting people is the easy part. Unbrainwashing hundreds of millions of people and getting them to understand why we have to arrest high-ranking officials/figures… THAT’S the hard part.
