I do see your point, it would probably look funny from a safe distance.... Chicken (especially roosters) can be vicious. Up close, a dinosaur-sized chicken would be freaking terrifying!
definitely not just you not getting it.... After I googled it, I found it as #1 in a ranking of the most confusing Far Side comics...
Love them and try to follow every... Wait, it says "shall not"?" Ah nevermind...
Yes, South Korea wouldn:t want to ruin their friendship with their neighbors in the North. You know the ones always sending them gifts
Yes, fuck Trump but forgetting a guy who interviewed you months before does not sound like a good example of severe memory loss. Sounds more like the guy who already made some money by writing books on Trump is now back to try and make some more and needs to remind people who he is. So fuck him too
I can't say if this specific one is authentic but I would not be surprised, as my company does the same: branded pride flags, t-shirts for their LGBTQ+ employees. And I'm torn on this, because I feel a bit bad about the branding aspect of it, but on the other hand the company putting their name to openly support all sexual and gender identities does seem like a good thing to do....
Yes, the irony of a company that produces more efficient ways of killing people being concerned with social issues does not escape me. But there are employees of the company who apparently support both (and good for them)
You're in a situation you don't deserve, but you are trying not to make it worse for your mom. I think you rock! I wish you all the best
I don't want to get too deep into your business but just to understand better what you're trying to communicate.... Please tell me if I get this right: there's current (not past) drama in your family and you think that not acknowledging father's day at all would feed into that drama (maybe your dad's reaction would be "see, you're all against me" and he'd play the victim or something like that) . On the other hand you also don't want to pretend everything is right with your father. So you want something to communicate "I don't want to be against you, but I certainly am not on your side either; I just want to be left alone and talk to you the strictly necessary amount of times". Is that it?
If that's the case, yes, the standard-est, humorless "happy father's day" card you can find, with nothing but your signature in it should convey that message pretty well. If you can't find anything, just a white one with a handwritten "happy father's day, [your name]" would do.
it's just a convenience, not a magic wand. Sure relying on AI blindly and exclusively is a horrible idea (that lots of people peddle and quite a few suckers buy), but there's room for a supervised and careful use of AI, same as we started using google instead of manpages and (grudgingly, for the older of us) tolerated the addition of syntax highlighting and even some code completion to all but the most basic text editors.

We found very ancient human viruses! To the lab! Gotta see if we can use them to infect modern humans...
I know that research is generally for good, but why is it so hard to tell if a quote is from an actual researcher or a comics super-villain?
ah man, just when I thought I had a good grasp of English.... The examples of how you'd phrase the second meaning are very helpful, thanks!
sorry for the question, I'm not a native english speaker... do you mean this as in "this is the Googlest thing ever" or "I have never read so many Google news in a week"?
The medical field is ripe for some intrusive ads to boost revenues! Possibilities are endless:
Ad-supported hearing aids ("this conversation will resume after a quick message from our sponsors!")
Pacemakers - want to watch an ad for 100 more free heartbeats?
Surgery - this will leave a visible scar, but how about we make the cut look like the Amazon logo ?
Implants - click the nipple and watch an ad to re-inflate the left breast for 10 more days
Is it still "disputed" if absolutely nobody else thinks it's Chinese? if I claim the Grand Canyon is mine, does it make it the Disputed Canyon?
she saw the photographer and she's trying to hold him back from sucker-punching an Amazon warehouse worker he's just spotted
I have posted this on Reddit (askeconomics) a while back but got no good replies. Copying it here because I don't want to send traffic to Reddit.
What do you think?
> > I see a big push to take employees back to the office. I personally don't mind either working remote or in the office, but I think big companies tend to think rationally in terms of cost/benefit and I haven't seen a convincing explanation yet of why they are so keen to have everyone back. > > If remote work was just as productive as in-person, a remote-only company could use it to be more efficient than their work-in-office competitors, so I assume there's no conclusive evidence that this is the case. But I haven't seen conclusive evidence of the contrary either, and I think employers would have good reason to trumpet any findings at least internally to their employees ("we've seen KPI so-and-so drop with everyone working from home" or "project X was severely delayed by lack of in-person coordination" wouldn't make everyone happy to return in presence, but at least it would make a good argument for a manager to explain to their team) > > Instead, all I keep hearing is inspirational wish-wash like "we value the power of working together". Which is fine, but why are we valuing it more than the cost of office space? > > On the side of employees, I often see arguments like "these companies made a big investment in offices and now they don't want to look stupid by leaving them empty". But all these large companies have spent billions to acquire smaller companies/products and dropped them without a second thought. I can't believe the same companies would now be so sentimentally attached to office buildings if it made any economic sense to close them.
