whoa, im not blaming impoverished people with poor english from taking customer service jobs… they’re doing what they can with what they have…

im saying customer service is already practically a black hole… just instead of an AI that doesn’t understand or help with your problem… and regurgitates pieces of a script inappropriately, we already have that right now but with humans.

this is already the case, except i can eventually reach a human that doesn’t understand english, reading an english script…
at least the AI won’t get frustrated and hang up on me.

“Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to receive flour brought by UN trucks”

well that’s about the most horrible thing ive ever heard of…

i’d have a hard time finding someone who’s opinion mattered less, on this subject…
i think right now Israel is putting an insane amount of money into propaganda…

(they don’t want to)

if they want to

just convert it with math?
it’s not really that hard…

allow me to sum up interpersonal relationships between all 8 billion people in one sentence:
you can’t

but, in a nutshell… physical attraction is usually important, so is romance… usually a commitment to this person in terms of time and future plans where they become more like family (and maybe eventually actually family if you have kids)

there’s such a crazy spectrum of the ways in which people could get along and consider themselves “in a relationship”.
every rule or tendency is constantly broken, it escapes definition.
in general, it begins with attraction and flirting, or it’s cemented as a friendship…
and, poetically, i’d say it’s a relationship when they start to see themselves as an entity, and of course others will see them like that too… a sort of hive-mind develops…
sorta like when celebrity couples get a combo nickname…

why would you expect something like that??
…
although all forms of prejudice and hatred are terrible, the online anti-fat hate just bugs so much.
it’s so common, accepted, and arbitrary
i mean, at least with racism there’s some kind of stupid “reasoning” behind it. some notion that “others” are a threat, and tribal nonsense.
but just hating on overweight people is so… pointless…
anyways, i expect the banning of r/fatpeoplehate and the like has sent some troglodytes over here.
but, if the instance doesn’t do something, theyll get defederated

i’ve heard the opposite, “they hate us so why should we care about them!”
so i imagine from something like that…

well i guess he’s saying that normally empathy requires reciprocity

felt right

i don’t understand

i find that to be self explanatory

fuck hexbear, though…

(there’s actually good environmental reasons for that)

Georgia boots are the shit…

it’s satire

last time i took a shower at a homeless shelter:
you have to hand all your stuff to a guy at a window, he puts it in a bag, then you go to a medium sized room with several shower heads spraying towards the middle…
so you don’t just get your shower, you get the water bouncing off a dozen naked homeless guys…
the water is a tepid, narrow, painful jet…
i caught scabies and athletes foot…
…
i’ve taken one other one at a shelter in another city and state and it was identical…
…
gym is way better, otherwise i’d rather take a bird bath in a random bathroom sink…

well they did change it somewhat…
i heard the original creator killed himself over the deal
