Seriously, “ruleboys” is a good one or what I thought of as “hall pass monitor”. I work remotely and have worked remotely from several countries, not once has it been an issue. I just don’t walk up to the customs agent and naïvely say “oh hi, just an FYI that I plan to work remotely for this month from your beautiful country”.

So what I shared, a well thought out article by Johnathan Cook and others, is propaganda but you telling me to watch unverified, often debunked videos that are actually from cartels or ISIS, isn’t propaganda? What’s next, should I search 4chan?

I’m also not sure why SA would want to “gain brownie points from the people who support Hamas”. Wouldn’t they want to earn brownie points from those who support Israel, like the US, who they’d benefit more from?

Not this claim in particular, but existing claims of rape allegations have been debunked:

Meanwhile, Josh Paul, a former US State Department official, detailed how a 13 year old kid was raped in an Israeli prison and “The State Department's inquiry into the case resulted in Israeli officials shutting down the charity involved in bringing the case to light.”

You said they beheaded civilians including babies, that’s sensational. There were horrific acts, yes, but any reports of beheading of babies has been refuted by reporters and even the IDF.

Having lived in Victoria, Ottawa, and Toronto there’s no way in hell can you even put those in the same league, not even close to what Toronto has to offer. I’m gonna have to turn the assumption towards you and assume you’ve never lived in Toronto yourself, maybe just visited and toured the trifecta of the CN tower, Ripley’s, and Niagara Falls.

The first half convinced me I wrote this myself while sleep walking or something. In fact, I lived one block South of Bloor/Church on Charles St… Wow! However I moved to the US for the much higher salaries.

Could you share the site for… research? Or what it rhymes with?

“Pshhh what are you talking about, the blood alcohol limit has been .1 for years, officer!”

As an onlooker to this comment chain I feel like you completely ignored his entire comment, which I thought was a decent argument, and latched on only to the last sentence.

Me too, my DND has been enabled for years now with the occasional explicit disabling of it.

In the current world:

Me: “OK Google, take me to the Chinese restaurant in Hoboken”

Google Assistant: “Calling Jessica Hobkin”.

Yes for both Google Play and App Store it’s all self reported. Some developers are fully transparent, some will lie, and some may not be realizing that while they may not be collecting anything, the libraries they are using are.

Anybody have a good starting prompt to prime ChatGPT to answer medical questions or diagnoses?

I’m not sure I understand the significance. Can anyone explain?

Agreed regarding the variance of the women’s bathroom, I shocked it up to a larger number of women vs men customers in that particular retailer.

I remember in Japan they had both! Pretty cool.

That’s seriously disgusting. But even without mental illness, you still have people that seem like they don’t know bathroom etiquette. I worked at a retailer during college that had a public bathroom, seemingly normal people still did the most disgusting messes in the toilets that I was left to clean.

I get frustrated when I tell an LLM “reply only with x” and then rather than responding “x”, it still responds with “Sure thing! Here’s x” or some other extra words.

Yup, my culture shock seeing a table of salarymen chain smoking in the restaurant in Japan.

I’m assuming the latter if zero percent interest rate?

Unfortunately that’s what makes it scary, what you’re saying isn’t true. Look up “L3 Processing Data” which is becoming more and more common (which informs the payment provider/bank about exactly what you purchased). AmEx for example is notorious for implementing that.

Furthermore, they don’t need the details. What if I just don’t want the government or bank to even know that I spent $10K at “Smucks Sex Store Co.”?

Anyway, I hope you’re starting to see the importance of privacy and cash. Even if they’re ridiculous and silly to someone else.

I love how you describe it a “fetish fantasy”, I’m sure every authoritarian dictatorship or fascist government in history would have been called a fetish fantasy a decade earlier. So naïve.

The car is a variable for anything you can think of, but I will give you a hypothetical example with the car then. Imagine in 20 years where owning a gas car is frowned upon, the government introduces a new law that one can no longer purchase gas cars - used or not, maybe this government was even lobbied by some electric car conglomerate. Am I allowed to worry about that or is that a fetish fantasy too?

What if I have a fetish and want to buy some crazy sex swing. I don’t want you to know, I don’t want the bank to know, or the government to know. This is 100% legal and 100% none of your business and I prefer to keep it that way.

I’m very curious too!

Google Maps states it’s permanently closed. Do you know if that’s actually the case?

> Funny thing is that you’ve described Moscow here.

Please do tell more. I’m curious to learn.

Hmm, never heard of them in my city but instead always had to deal with sketch taxis who credit card reader was “broken”.

In June 2021 I tried entering the United States with a TN packet as an Engineer with a Bachelor of Computer Science. However, the officer denied me the TN status saying I need an Engineering, not Computer Science degree, to qualify for the Engineer TN status.

Given the denial, in July 2021 the hiring company then applied through USCIS premium processing again for TN Engineer with my Computer Science degree and I was approved. I was let in at the border with my TN status without issue.

In August 2021, I we back to Canada, and then upon re-entering the US with my TN I was sent to secondary given my previous denial on record. The officers basically rechecked my packet and asked so many questions about my previous denial, the officer then lets me in but states “you might not be so lucky with the next officer”. From what I understand they can take away my TN or even just deny me entry in the future based off the previous denial.

I haven’t left the US since then, but want to visit Canada and come back. However, I’m terrified of the officer denying me entry based of my previous denial. What are my options here? My company’s lawyer basically said we just have to try and hope for the best.

Thanks so much!

Isn’t Warsaw on the up and up?
