boarding first isn’t a privilege really
It is on southwest, since there’s no unassigned boarding. I’m a tall dude, and I always pay for early boarding so I can get myself an emergency row seat

Yeah, popular music - by definition - is going to have a broad appeal, and pointing out major problems with our society is always going to be at least a bit divisive, especially when the issue is split in party lines
I’m kind of the same, I rarely wear deodorant, and it’s basically never an issue (believe me, my wife would tell me if it was)
But some days even I’m like “holy fuck I reek” - I think it’s probably a diet thing
Sounds like fusion power lol
The way it sounds right now is “AI generated faces don’t have all these artifacts 99% of the time” (I’m paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)
The only way it sounds like that is if you don’t read the article at all and draw all your conclusions from just reading the title.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure many do just that, but that’s not the fault of the study. They clearly state their method for selecting (or “cherry picking”) images
I don’t know why people (not saying you, more directed at the top commenter) keep acting like cherry picking AI images in these studies invalidate the results - cherry picking is how you use AI image generation tools, that’s why most will (or can) generate several at once so you can pick the best one. If a malicious actor was trying to fool people, of course they’d use the most “real” looking ones, instead of just the first to generate
Frankly the studies would be useless if they didn’t cherry pick, because it wouldn’t line up with real world usage
Yeah, I agree it’s pretty cringy, but I don’t see how anyone else is negatively impacted by some lonely souls using it
How would you know? You don’t actually understand the code. It could be making shit up, and you’d never have any idea
Seriously dude, if you run into code you don’t understand, take the time to actually understand it, or else you’ll never actually improve
I’m terrified for our next junior dev hire if this is common among beginners now lol
100% agree, without it, the decentralization aspect is severely weakened
Yeah honestly hearing it describes as being full of neo Nazis is wild lol, it’s almost more left leaning than Lemmy
It’s pretty wild how many people in this thread (and in general) don’t see youtubers as a business selling a product.
Its great if you want to buy stuff from your favorite content creators shop, but the shop is there to make money. It makes money for their business. What do we call it when a business goes out of their way to show consumers their products in the hopes that they’ll purchase something? an advertisement. This isn’t something debatable lol, it’s literally the definition of the word.
Its awesome if you wanna support your favorite content creators, it’s totally OK if you don’t personally mind seeing their shop below the video, a simple toggle would let you keep that. But an ad is an ad, and people are right to be frustrated that they’re being shown ads when they specifically paid extra money not to be shown them.
This isn’t an ad. It’s just an opportunity to purchase something
I really hope this is satire, but I honestly can’t tell anymore lol
What’s the benefit of a cruise ship when planes are so much faster?
Its not always about purely practical concerns
I too would like context on that comment lol
I started during COVID for practical reasons, but it’s so simple and quick I don’t think I’ll ever go back - I just grabbed a $40 pair of plug in Wahl clippers and I’ve probably saved myself at least a grand by now in haircuts
I’ve definetely saved myself many purchases with my 3d printer, but I definetely think I’ve spent more on filament for dumb/fun prints than I’ve saved with practical ones lol - especially when I’m designing my own shit and need to prototype, I’ve gone through entire rolls just iterating on a single design until I get something I’m happy with…
That being said, it’s all in how you use it!
Eating healthy
For some reason the general consensus is that eating healthy is expensive - probably because when people think about eating healthy, they’re often thinking about Whole Foods type shit.
My wife and I have been losing weight over these last few months (40lbs down!) and one of the biggest things I noticed besides the number on the scale was how much less we were spending on food.
For one, you’ll generally eat out less, because most of the really tempting restaurant options aren’t that healthy
For another veggies, legumes, etc are cheap af, and those make up a huge part of a healthy diet. We buy our veggies in bulk from costco each week save a ton compared to when we’d be loading our carts with butter/cheese, fatty/sugary snack foods, and other r junk
We also just plain eat less, what we used to eat in a night now stretches to two nights, which means fewer trips to the grocery store.
We do eat more lean proteins (mainly chicken and fish) to bump our protein ratios up, and we buy protein powders and whatnot, but even accounting for all that, we’re still saving a lot of money compared to our old habits
I exclusively wear Exo Foccio Give n Go boxer briefs
Expensive as hell, but soo worth it - a pair lasts me years before the elastic gives out, and they’re so comfortable
Yeah and while I’m sure it is useful for minimizing outrage at controversial changes, it’s mainly to prevent rolling out major bugs to too many people
