Yes, but "GIF" is not etymologcally Germanic. 😉

If AI is so rampent and used for evil purposes. Can we not use it for good purposes like creating a personalized JARVIS like in Iron Man? Would that not be better than using it for fake images? by jbrains in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The people already with the money have orders of magnitude more freedom on average to decide and pursue opportunities.

Free market inventions do not guarantee persistent and open access.

Espresso in the morning. Cappuccino after meal. It's been at least ten years.

Not enough exclamation marks. I can't take it seriously.

Dark side of the How to Pick Up a Duck videos, I guess.

how do I accept that a doctor earns more than double what I do? by jbrains in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

But I also feel like a loser, because even those ranting doctors earn more than twice what I do… and they get to sit for longer than I do.

Regretting my life choices.

What kind of "I also feel like a loser" is this feeling?

Maybe the sane choice here would be to study or to get a certification that means a higher salary?

What in particular would that get you? I mean beyond the obvious "More money would make my life easier" thought.

Peace.

If you are dissatisfied with the free thing I gave you, then I am happy to send you a refund of your purchase price. 🤷‍♂️

That's my preferred strategy.

UPDATE: Before any angry cards and letters, let me clarify. When I reply this way, I learn a lot about the person I'm talking to, including whether they are prepared to have a reasonable conversation about this complex matter. The response I'm hoping for is "Well played.", because that tells me that they recognize how ridiculous we are both being. I can work with them.

If they are merely having a tough time and needed to vent, then they'll notice that and we can move forward.

If they are truly that entitled, then I don't mind what happens next, because they would probably never have accepted any help I could offer them, anyway.

What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you? by jbrains in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

There is no ideal place to work where they "do it right", whatever kind of "right" you care about right now. When you change jobs, you merely exchange one set of problems for another.
