Alcohol is a social lubricant, if you’re a drinker then yes it’s pretty natural to assume a few drinks on a first date would loosen both parties up. Not everyone is a drinker and that’s fine but I don’t think it’s weird at all to want drinks on an occasion where people are probably a bit nervous and awkward. Re: driving, take an uber? The bus?

You might be surprised by how vigorously people will argue against this point.

It’s called SAFe and it’s an art form.

Means we change requirements mid-sprint, right?

I dunno, my cat doesn’t like to watch, she likes to go “who the fuck is this bitch on my half of the bed?”

Or the product manager just now understands them.

Playing back a message when you hear someone pick up? No, they’ve been doing that forever. But trying to determine whether you have a human on the line or just their voicemail recording? That’s something that could start to require more sophisticated language models, and the fact that the message didn’t just start rattling something off as soon as something picked up suggests maybe they’re using it. Actual phone scams using AI? Well, if they’re not doing it yet, they will be soon.

It’s AI, I’d be willing to bet. Waiting to detect a human before responding with whatever scam they’re selling.

See, for me, if you call me and don’t leave a voicemail, I’m going to assume it was unimportant (or spam) and I won’t call back. Businesses, which are most likely going to an unknown number, should leave a voicemail if they want any action on my part. I mostly don’t want businesses texting me because they tend to spam the fuck out of you. And I’m sure as fuck never going to pick up the phone for an unknown number.

Amazon definitely doesn’t check returns very closely so not at all shocking something like this could happen.

Yeah, we can breed dogs however we want to, so why not breed dogs that are less dangerous? Not to mention less prone to health issues just because we think they’re cute when they have a nose so small that they can barely breathe. Dogs breeds aren’t sacred, most of them are a very recent phenomenon. Breed for positive traits, both for them and us.

I think I’m on the side of “if you do this in your code, you deserve what you get.”

First one I used? Either a ][e or ][gs at school. First one our household owned? A 286 (not any particular brand). First one that was “mine”? A mac LC2. First one i paid for with my own money? Uhhh I just remember it was a Dell, probably a pentium 4?

Well the “list” part comes from classified listings

The lyrics go “chicka dee dee dee”

I’m actually kind of triggered by the multiple bulky key fobs.

I’m willing to bet that someone involved had lived in (or had a friend who lived in) an apartment with an awkwardly placed door like this and thought it was the perfect detail to convey how crappy the apartment was supposed to be.

Not stealing the pie.

Yeah, you should definitely have a massive hangover in the morning, too
