Blaming climate change on tourism is a bit like blaming a janitor in Kentucky for the US deficit.

Indeed CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba sent a message to employees stating that roughly 1,300 positions will be eliminated from the company.

"AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employees," Idekoba's email stated. "Delivering on this ambition requires us to move faster, try new things, and fix what's broken."

Idekoba said the layoffs will impact...those within the Research and Development, Global Operations, and People and Sustainability sectors.

My organization and most of the other orgs I work with have all banned AI note takers in meetings. We either don't let them in or boot them at the beginning. Some of the people who send them, I haven't seen them actually show up to a meeting in months.

How do you select content and choose where to post it? Are you a bot? You seem to post about Texas all the time. I live in Texas and love reading about Texas, but much of what you post is low quality corporate slop or just uninteresting.

The calving referred to here as a tourist attraction has been happening for centuries as part of the natural outflow of the glacier, and tourism hasn't had any direct impact on it.

Climate change is definitely affecting this glacier and every glacier though. There's a realistic point in the not too distant future where there are no more glaciers.

What is a "terrorist attack" when you're at war? Who were the "good guys" in the Syrian Civil war? Surely the US didn't harm any civilians during that conflict, right?

That other guy should be in prison though

Projection is an ego defense mechanism where someone denies a negative aspect of their own personality or behavior and instead accuses someone else of being that way.

An example is someone who's guilty of something may attempt to blame others for being guilty of that thing. This is mostly an unconscious thought process, people who do it on purpose aren't projecting

You said this makes you "irrationally angry" and then went on to explain a rationale behind why it makes you angry. I just want to note that's pretty much the same misuse of a term as the one you're complaining about.

 

Some of the proposed laws rejected by Abbott, including a ban on hemp products containing THC, will be the focus of a special legislative session he has called for July 21.

 

"I've got to get Israel to calm down now," Trump said as he left the White House. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen. They've been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

In The Who's musical Tommy, Pinball Wizard was sung by Elton John

 

But now I'm in bed questioning my decision.

"Gwen" means "white" in a variety of Celtic languages

 

"City" in common. Incredible performance of an incredible song.

 

Like the 13th Floor Elevators, Grupo Fantasma is from Austin, TX. Also, they're covering a song from over 15 years prior
