Why does that piss you off? It sounds like you had a conversation. Maybe he did get it, just thought you were wrong and/or overweighting things you found important, that he did not.

If you want to hamstring your career by not having a presence on the world’s biggest careers website then that’s perfectly okay - but I do not think a professor at University should be advising that course and would be failing their students if they did.

I am not saying you’re wrong, and I do understand the reasons you might choose this path - but that doesn’t mean you’re right and that your choices are good advice for everyone.

I don’t get it, what’s cringe about making a joke out of people’s selfish and exaggerated behaviour?

You must be fun at parties.

Who hurt you?

No

That’s funny.

Just beware the bias here. Only pointing this out for people working against their agenda doesn’t mean there isn’t the same going on for the other side…just that they aren’t going to point it out as it doesn’t help their agenda.

My grayjay hasn’t worked for a couple of weeks now, “block attempt detected” warning and then the video starts over.

Asking mastodon users whether they’d choose AI over Privacy is like asking Elon Musk if he’d rather end poverty or buy another mega yacht.

You’re right, but “incompetence” seems harsh. Maybe I’m just sensitive today.

// because I said so.

Ah gotcha, I’ll look into it as wasn’t aware of this!

Haven’t been in an ikea for years. What’s the difference between a plant based ball, and a veggie ball?

And land mines are only banned because, checks notes, their indiscriminate nature (being walked on by children)

Fair. I just didn’t realise mine was so big. Time to have an existential crisis about how big my other blind spots are!

What on earth makes you think anyone here has any details on people making “six figures”?

That is a paltry sum that the mob give zero shits about.

To some, it seems like an incredible amount of money. To others it is several orders of magnitude too low to even consider.

Don’t worry about the people making 6 figures. Worry about the people making 9.

Saudi nationals don’t pay tax. The oil sustains their economy.

Think about that for a second. Your entire population doesn’t need to pay tax because you make so much money from oil. Imagine the lengths they would go to in order to protect that. And the atrocities their people would overlook.

Legit didn’t think of it like that and I like to think of myself as an above-average-intellectual-left-wing-european.

Thank you for the spark.

That’s ludicrous. “An average person” cares about more than “nothing” - such statements saying otherwise are just what the 0.1% want.

Stop fighting each other and start fighting the people who have created and persisted this dumpster fire.

What’s a normie in this context?
