I tie a toy chicken to a wall that when honked, creates an audible sound.

Shit. I say Tostitos instead of tortilla chips, because Tostitos taste differently to me. My wife and I love Tostitos and salsa. But I also prefer regular tortilla chips with cheese.

I've been indoctrinated.

I have to confess. I still scroll Reddit from time to time (no longer use my account), and the front page just has a lot more variety. There's still a lot of bot content from the occasional AITA that's purely clickbait to the reposts.

I do like that comments and conversations are better here. I'm seeing familiar names and I like it.

Didn't see a lot of recommendations for 90s-2000s manga.

I love me some Ranma and Maison Ikkoku. Great Teacher Onizuka, dragon quest, Kenshin, Trigun, and Hunter x Hunter and YuYu Hakusho.

These are all classic series that I grew up with, and absolutely feel like they hold up to today.

This is the strangest endorsement I have ever read out of context.

Well, looks like I have to read it.

Right? We're only on Week 7 out of 52, of Year 1.

At my multinational, we typically hire in the hundreds every month for customer service. It's like a $15/hr job, very baseline entry level, no experience needed. Because of that, there's a constant churn. Most folks go for a year and leave for other jobs, or get promoted.

Last year was the start of us rolling out AI tools. According to the year end report, our "customer score" skyrocketed, which tells the bosses that AI is great for customer service. Also a few months ago, I noticed we weren't refilling Customer Service jobs as fast anymore.

So these are the people who are getting squeezed out.

Funny you say this. I'm watching my local coding community say things like "We used to apply to 100+ jobs and get an interview. Now it's like 300+ jobs."

It's a serious change

I definitely remember the turning point.

Seeing a tiny version of something who raise (either human or furball) get older and do things outside of your control, and all you can do is set them up for success.

Kinda like playing The Sims.

When Sarah Palin came about, surely I thought she was the most craziest dumbest and racist female brunette politician ever.

Why are there more?!

I was too much of a nerd that I joined a informal high school circle where they hike and talked about "plants and trees" and all they did was smoke pot where I wanted to discuss invasive species to the forest population.

Yep! Took two tries as well. I got banned from one because literally my second comment pissed off the mod! Im already loving Lemmy.

 

A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.

The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.

The new phenomenon involves Gen Z employees accepting job offers but not showing up on their first day without informing their employers.
