I mean it’s important to distinguish between actual scientific tests and random managerial bullshit and wasting a day on “training”.

The scientific test, assuming this is real science, and not more random crap found on a website, will just be based on observation. People with autism tend describe individual pictures while neurotypicals tend to impose a narrative on the whole collection.

There’s no good or bad here, they’re different ways of describing the world. You don’t win if you’re more autistic or neurotypical or whatever.

On the other hand training days like you’re describing are always a complete waste of time. The aim is to turn up, do the minimal amount of engagement to make it look like you’re a team player, and then just try to fit in with everyone else. There’s is no point in wasting time thinking about course materials. The guy who wrote them was just bullshiting.

If it makes you feel better, if it was actually sunrise on summer solstice at Stonehenge, there would have probably been people in the pictures. I’ve heard it gets busy.

Wainwright has already condemned it and Leonard Cohen’s estate has issued a cease and desist order in response.

I’m expecting the full Elvis.

Fuck palantir, I want to know how Sauron is voting.

They recommend that you do vote, and don’t vote for anyone except Harris.

But they don’t explicitly recommend you vote for Harris.

This is super serious voting strategy you guys.

It’s not really legal in the UK. It’s unenforceable on claims under 5k and for claims over 5k the courts will make a case by case decision if arbitration is appropriate.

However, lots of companies still add these bullshit clauses as a way to bully people out of seeing a lawyer.

And all the doom games.

In theory. It’s just standard contract law. You violate the contract, so you have to make the other party right.

In practice, the court is likely to go, “You should’ve hired someone else to do the work. No costs”

No, not at all.

If the company fire you they have to pay you, e.g., three months notice, regardless of if they want you to do the work or not.

If you quit without notice, you might have to pay the costs incurred by you quitting early, but that’s not your salary -because they now wouldn’t be paying you.

Costs might be something like the company having to refuse an order because they now don’t have enough people to do the work, or the increased cost of an expedited hiring process.

I don’t know how common costs are in France, but the UK has the same rules and essentially no one ever claims costs. You need to really fuck over your employee in a very explicit and well documented way for this to even be considered.

The main disadvantage is you will have a bad reference if you leave without notice.

That’s just what they want you to think.

I mean if it was a realistic list around 4 (not sure how many were actually released) of the top ten would be fantastic four films.

This is just a list of “superhero films everyone has seen that were kinda mid”. I want a list of the films that were so bad I’ve not heard of them, because they crashed and burned so spectacularly.

If you’re not on one of the major providers good luck getting people to see your email.

It just says can be activated. Not “automatically activates”.

Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it’s just theatre.

Yeah you’re right. Too many negatives and I flipped one of them when thinking about this.

Terrible headline.

Warren absolutely does buy that Trump would veto a ban. She just thinks that the justification (states rights) is complete bullshit.

Edit: I should not post at 5 in the morning. I got this completely backward.

If Musk doesn’t pay the loans the banks can take Twitter off him, but then they’re stuck with Twitter.

It’s always lost money, but now Musk has driven off the advertisers and many of the high prestige users; got stuck in a bunch of pointless lawsuits he’s going to lose; and run up a lot of debt by refusing to pay people.

And Musk knows this. The banks are fucked.

Can he drop out?

Kamala had to be nominated before the convention to make registration deadlines in Ohio.

Shouldn’t RFK be stuck on the ballet? - at least in Ohio?

No. The problem with your current bot isn’t that the website authors have a particular axe to grind, it’s that they’re just in a rush and a bit lazy.

This means that they tend to say news sites which acknowledge and correct their own mistakes have credibility problems, because it’s right there - the news sites themselves acknowledged issues. Even though these are the often most credible sites, because they fix errors and care about being right.

Similarly the whole left-right thing is just half-assed and completely useless for anyone that doesn’t live in the US. While anyone that does live in the US probably already has an opinion about these US news sources.

Because these are lazy errors, lots of people will make similar mistakes, and aggregating ratings will amplify this, and let you pretend to be objective without fixing anything.
