I suppose if those plant-based diets were based on peer-reviewed scientific studies and shown to cause no nutritional, physical, or mental harm to the animals then it wouldn’t be animal abuse. But I haven’t seen the threads so I’m assuming that wasn’t the case.
Don’t worry, researchers will just get an AI to interpret all those floating point numbers and come up with a human-readable explanation! What could go wrong? /s
Tried it on Bing too for comparison, 4th result and it’s actually the current version.
Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say shit like “chemical-free”. Everything is made out of chemicals, tell me which one otherwise I’ll just assume you’re uneducated and afraid of things you can’t pronounce.
I got ChatGPT to write me a silly dialogue ending in this line:
Samantha: “Arthur, how could you?”
Arthur: “What? What did I do this time, Samantha?”
Samantha: “You’ve put mayonnaise on the roast chicken again! You know I can’t stand the stuff!”
Arthur: “But, Samantha, it adds so much flavor!”
Samantha: “Arthur, it doesn’t. It just makes everything taste like… mayonnaise!”
Arthur: “That’s the point! You know I’ve always loved it.”
Samantha: “I thought you loved me.”
Arthur: “Well, of course, I do.”
Samantha: “Well, you can’t have both of us.”
Arthur: “What, you want me to choose between you and mayonnaise?”
Samantha: “Yes, exactly. Do you love mayonnaise or do you love me?”
I was in Dubai earlier this year and the heat index was 53⁰C. Felt like I was being baked alive.
FWIW California at least allows new fathers to take 12 weeks paternity leave. My company normally only offers 4 weeks of paid paternity leave, but my coworker managed to get 12 by living in California. I believe he only got paid for 4 weeks of it since I don’t think the rule requires employers to pay the whole thing, but at least he got a lot of time off to help his wife and bond with his new son.
I got travel insurance recently for a hiking trip with my wife. We had an emergency and my wife had to be airlifted out by helicopter, and we were so glad to have the travel insurance because it covers emergency evacuation up to $10,000 (and the helicopter costed around $5,000). Awesome, right?
Well… actually no. Turns out, the terms of our policy dictate we needed to call insurance first and have them organize the airlift. Since we dialed 911 and organized the helicopter ourselves, our insurance won’t cover it. I guess it’s my fault for not reading the fine print, but it feels pretty scummy from the insurance company. Even if we had read the fine print, in the moment I don’t think I would have remembered as my immediate instinct is to contact emergency services.
I detest dress codes, just let people wear what they want. You wanna wear jeans? Go ahead. Shorts? Fine. A nice suit? Go for it.
