We proved that "No one watches women's sports!🤡" Was always a lie. We proved that women's sports are not just the pink version of men's sports. We proved that when you put the mic in front of women, they have interesting things to say, and that we can all learn from them.
WNBA Players: "Pay me what you owe me" WNBA: "OK!" 👍🏿 "We're just really grateful to be able to come to a deal," Ogwumike said. "We're proud of ourselves. And quite frankly, we always told you all we were going to stand on business, and that's what this looks like." - Players Union president 🇳🇬♥️🇺🇸

i remember being excited to hear we had an expensive legal liability at a past job, because it meant we had budget to fix it without complaints about cost ops were fighting uphill against these problems for a generation before ai ai just gave us the motive and the means to fix it at the same time
Agents aren't leading to there being a plethora of problems, there were already TONS of wild defects, some a decade or more out there undiscovered because human-written software is terrible and the industry hasn't been punished for quality/security failures in a meaningful way ever!

screenshot OP kinda reminds me of grad school, wanting to do clever geometry processing CPU-side in the mid-late 2000s when everyone was just throwing GPU at the problems I liked "nihilistic depression" also reminds me of grad school, I had fun hobbies tho
The Internet is a fascinating place where everyone blames their own nihilistic depression and lack of fun hobbies on everyone else

The thing to understand with writing is that being unnecessarily formal in an informal context is like wearing a three piece suit to a pool party
For example, ending the sentence with a period, while grammatically more formal (not more correct!), would have led to the sentence having a much worse feel
dishwashers. big ol' asterisk on the "labour saving" claim; replaces a fairly mindless, pleasantly bland chore; now you have a System to maintain; source of more arguments between my parents than anything else they'd show in front of me; great way to fuck up expensive cookware
That’s another question: What technology did you think would be really cool but turns out to make life less enjoyable?

But more to the point I think the ease with which that can be explained is an indictment of this kind of piece - which The Atlantic loves - staring in incomprehension at the easily comprehensible and then trying to make some broader cultural point about it. Instead of just talking to people.

it took me quite a lot of economics learning to get there but at this point it kind of feels like all that effort was a waste (except that econ is fascinating). you don't need to know how it all works. that's the point of a vast impersonal market society. just relax. it's going to be fine.

Similarly, women are better at detail oriented tasks like graduating from college or being doctors, but edpol forces them to date educated men. For this reason, colleges should offer useless male-coded vanity degrees, like math or CS, to create eligible bachelors to be future stay at home chefs.
