In a different AI comic conversation someone used the term “slop sepia” and I hope it catches on.

The term, not the slop

Maybe I’m somehow lucky but in the year plus that I’ve had mint on my gaming machine with an RTX 3050 I’ve had no issues. Maybe cause I rarely play demanding games? But modded Cyberpunk has been fine as well

I don’t see any sane governments trying to make deals with him going forward. He’s shown that he will just ignore/change any “deals” he makes in all aspects of his life as he sees fit.

I do suspect he’ll go TACO in the end but the fucking chaos in the meantime…

How can anybody with a brain not understand

There’s your answer

Did none of them watch M3gan???

Feels like AI slop but considering current events

I’ll allow it

Slow down time enough that I trip for 8 hours and it’s only been a minute. Awesome

Speed up or slow down time at will

Just gotta carry disinfectant wipes and stuff I guess. I’d take this deal

Seriously, what’s with Google giving completely wrong suggestions in docs nowadays? I’m forced to use it for work and it’s been insane lately.

Even if it’s only for 15~20 minutes, I make time every weekday morning to run before getting ready for work. Holidays and such I’ll do a longer run. Was a pain at first but over the years it’s just something my body does. I figure when it comes to cardio, too little is better than none.

Building healthy habits is real.

A small EV pickup maybe?

Non-American here. There’s a huge market for cheap Chinese goods outside the US. There are a lot of little things where you don’t need quality, just “good enough to get the job done”. There’s a chain of stores all around SEA called Mr. DIY that is basically full of worryingly cheap made in China products and it’s thriving.

Then there’s the various electronics brands that at least have reliable quality with good specs for the costs. Huge market for those despite bloat, spyware etc. outside of the US. As if you don’t get that with practically all mainstream electronics from any country anyway. Plus for non smart electronics, they’re fine. Xioami makes a great and cheap precision electronic screwdriver for example. Then there’s car companies like BYD that is just killing it in the global EV market.

Not saying the Chinese government is great or anything, they’ve got hands as bloody as any other global superpower, but I do think Chinese companies can find plenty of willing customers outside of the US.

Tl;dr A lot of the world is willing to buy “cheap garbage”, and not everything China is producing is seen as “cheap garbage” anymore.

Oh right, and then he said he loves using the laptop now or something like that

I believe he said he started with Mint then moved to Arch, partially because of the memes.

I agree with this advice of having someone take a look at your resume. Way back, I had an older friend of mine with experience managing CV’s help me work on mine and even the base template of my cover letters. I’ve done a number of interviews, mostly unsuccessful though I’m happy with where I’m at now, and one consistent thing I’ve heard is that I have an impressive resume, and I’m forever thankful to my friend for helping me put it together.

I don’t quite agree on customizing your CV for every submission, but I do do this for my cover letter/correspondence.

Also, yes, reaching out directly to places you want to work with has worked for me a couple of times. If there are hiring/networking events for your field, even online ones, I’d recommend that too. Best success I’ve had landing interviews is through these kind of events and I’ve only done online ones.

I’m in South East Asia, seen them in different countries here, mostly in malls but even in my current apartment building. Feels very Cyberpunk even just walking by and hearing it.

Beats the ads on screens I see playing in many elevators…

Columbia University PhD student Ranjani Srinivasan calls accusations that she’s a ‘terrorist sympathizer’ absurd, telling CBC’s David Common that she feared for her safety after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials showed up at her door.

That’s the entire text with a 7 minute video on the page.

Newsworthy and valuable info in this climate, but I can’t be the only one who gets frustrated when a news site posts basically just a video and no actual article. Maybe just a personal gripe

I’m taking a sick day too. Except for the first time in nearly a decade, my current employer doesn’t require a doctor’s note for anything less than 3 days.

Honestly, most doctors just give you a note if you go in no matter what anyway, so I’ve always felt that it’s more about your workplace tracking you than trying to make sure you’re alright. The need for a doctor’s note doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Sucky, relatable situation, you got my sympathy
