I scrolled past before I realized that reference wasn't really intended for humans.

Oz is a Doctor, and was a very good one who got corrupted in his aim for fame and fortune. Part of his tragedy is that if he'd shut up and just do his actual doctor work only he'd be a benefit to society, not the detriment he is now. It's important to know that he's worse because he had actual skill as a heart surgeon. Quoting wiki:

In 1982, he received his undergraduate degree in biology magna cum laude[3] at Harvard University.[31] ... In 1986, he obtained MD and MBA degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine[30] and Penn's Wharton School.[34][35]

Edit: also, as far as I can tell, still performing heart surgeries, so should still be licensed. Still a piece of shit who should stick to surgeries. Lots of people good at 1 thing think they're geniuses at everything.

That definitely helps from anecdotal information I was told, and I do the same. One of my younger sisters worked at a sorta prominent restaurant in Atlanta, and she complained that some of the high end clientele refused to look her in the eye. Sometimes she found it so insulting she'd act like she didn't realize they were talking to her until they made eye contact.

I felt bad for enjoying it. Worked from home, hardly expected to go out, much less traffic. Most service related jobs I prefer to do myself (like haircuts like you mentioned) or am perfectly fine with minimal contact. In general I feel bad for service workers so even if they aren't friendly with me (not that I ever really experienced that much) I wouldn't mind, and also don't mind self checkout and automation.

I may sound like I'm accusing others, and maybe that's part of it, but the way service workers are expected to act certain ways with us feels like trying to perpetuate class based servitude. As long as they're relatively professional and not outright insulting, I think it's fine.

I don't have a good technique, just q similar event. A friend of a friend remembered my somewhat complicated and hard to pronounce name, and pronounced it correctly. I forgot his name. So I thought up something clever. We traded numbers and I asked him to spell his name for me. Genius Chat, Genius!

He looks at me a little confused and spells his name for me: A, C, E.

The US always tries to do what they think others are doing. Half of their crazy ideas are because they heard a rumor and/or assumed the Soviets were doing it. Mind control, truth serums, ESP, cat spies.

Haha, I was worried there were some obscure deaths I didn't know about.

The triangle is HUGE, and due to where it covers, a lot of shipping went through it, and still does iirc.. Saying its dangerous because ships wrecked there often isn't that far off from calling Earth dangerous since every human has died there. It's a true statement, I suppose, but the context helps understand it's not a very reasonable one.

So finally Have You Checked Your Butthole is the actual correct answer?

Theres a CGPGrey video that describes old techniques. It's not quite up to date on some of its predictions, but it is how some machine learning works. Of course, it doesn't discuss current proprietary techniques, because those are company secrets. Still, it's as good a guess we'll likely get, unless something radically different has been invented:

There is also a second video about more modern stuff, but it's more a footnote:

I don't like chocolate that much, but if I do have it, dark all the way. The less sweet the better. I'm sure I have some limit, like 90% probably too much, but I definitely like less sweet.
