@Darkhor72971402@Andr3jH The ladies in the video are closers-- salespeople, is the thing. They don't have to be good engineers or any engineers. They sell what the engineers create, and for better or worse products simply do not sell themselves. One can have excellent engineers and no customers.
@s_cowles@emnode@mspringut It certainly adds an approachable air-- to think, a great president, as human as any of us, at the cost of a bit of grandeur.
@panickssery I think it's less about work and more about tangible production of whatever sort (or at least the illusion of it) with clear benchmarks as a way of spending time as opposed to effortless consumption/doing nothing (which is by no means the opposite of "work").
@d_h_sanders ...I don't mean to come off as uncharitable, but is he of the Cartier glasses not somewhat also of the effete bourgeoisie? Not implying anything regarding sexuality whatsoever but regarding class, bit of a glass house.
@EHPlimsoll1 If one "oligarch" endorses a project and another endorses a motion against said project, in this person's worldview, do they "cancel out", rendering the project neutral? bit of a foolish heuristic by Singer, but I am curious lmao
@ThreadbareModel@Nick_Davidov There is simply no way to "distinguish" one from other immigrants under current system-- it's a list of applications. Furthermore, many who then became "actually important" in the states were not necessarily notable prior to arrival in their countries of origin.
@HellenicVibes@BrookingsInst think it's a bit less about literacy, and more about not putting in the time and effort to write it (or rewrite it, if optimistic). This does beg the question as to why, then, the end product is believed to be worth our time & attention.
@seedtheclouds@megievalist I suspect it's because while some young men may convert to orthodoxy out of genuine faith-seeking, others may do so in an attempt to justify pre-existing worldviews that may not be very respectful of women's agency or women more generally.
@AGoldmund Never have I ever prior considered being grateful for having had a sane, on-topic microeconomics professor, but I certainly am now. What's the point of the class if the material isn't taught?
@augustiner_h@visakanv@goblinodds anecdata, but primarily the view that ai requires immense amounts of water, though I've also seen the "plagiarism machine" accusation bandied about. I think it comes across as a social justice issue, at least for some subset, or a laziness bit for others.
