Not from Kansas, but it’s not far off either. I bet its idea of a St. Louis accent is based on the old St. Louis accent that is common among older people but very rare among anyone under 50. Although there were no questions that asked about “fork” versus “fark”, “fourty” vs “farhty”, “soda” vs “sodee”, etc. It may just not have much of an idea of that dialect built into it
New England English is more similar to British English (at least in comparison to most US English), so it makes sense it would be the closest to Australian or South African English. Like they still use the word “carriage” commonly
Tbf eating an onion like an apple would imply leaving the skin on. Eating an onion like an orange would make more sense if youre taking off the outside
LLMs are just a more complicated algorithm though. AI would be a pretty useful term so long as people are sure to make that distinction and only use AI to refer to a truly complex algorithm. Calling a thermostat algorithm on an A/C “AI” is definitely a meaningless use of the term
Younger generations are, by and large, as technologically illiterate as boomers are. It doesnt apply to all of them, but the majority of them grew up with nothing but easy UIs. They may not chicken-pick to type, but they still cant troubleshoot anything and tend to know nothing outside of interacting with a typical interface. They definitely grew up with nothing like Windows 95 or 98 (or even XP) where you had to actually understand how a computer works to some extent to use the thing (or fix it)
Millennials, particularly the younger millennials especially, grew up right in the sweet spot to be at a tech advantage. At least as far as the average person goes. Obviously anyone passionate about tech will be far ahead of the average person, regardless of age
I suppose thats kind of what I meant. For sure there are actual differences between a $30 bottle and an $80 bottle, but after $30 it is mostly a game of massively diminishing returns. A $60 bottle of wine is nowhere near as good of a value as two $30 bottles of wine. A $300 bottle is sure as shit nowhere near good enough to be better than the value of 10 $30 bottles
Other than Cliqout, Ive never had a bottle of wine worth over $30 that I would ever pay for myself. Im a big fan of Saldo, which doesnt have hardly any label on it. I figured it would be good wine since its definitely not selling itself with a sexy label lol
A good bottle of wine is only in the $20-$30 range. IMO, every wine I have ever had that costs more than $30 is not any better than wine that is $30. Ive tried quite a bit of different stuff up to $75-$300 bottles that I got for free. None of it was worth more than a $30 bottles, at least to my palette. The one exception probably being Veuve Cliquot champagne, which is really good but costs like $50.
There is a pretty big difference between a $7 bottle of wine and a $30 bottle of wine though. Honestly wine is kind of an acquired taste, and there are a lot of varieties. If you want something good but also cheap then you cant go wrong with a $10 bottle of sweet table wine. Any other kind of wine its worth it to spend for something in the $20-$30 price range if you want it to be decent
Im not victim blaming, Im saying the story doesnt add up. And no one is a victim of their own decision to work for Walmart, there are other places to work.
Personally I have worked for them on several occasions and they always paid above the average entry-level wage in the area, provided benefits beyond what is legally required (even for part time people, as I was), like PTO, and I never personally saw anyone get hour limited at 29 hours. That aspect doesnt even make sense either, as Im pretty certain the classification for full time hours is 32+, not 30. Its standard at Walmart to get scheduled for exactly 8 hours of work per shift, as your breaks and the shifts are fairly concretely set. Getting 29 instead of 32 doesnt even fit into that in a way that makes sense
Either way, Walmart isnt the devil incarnate that everyone claims it to be. I didnt leave because of mistreatment, I left because its a poorly run company that makes stupid decisions. Its not a perfect company, and sure they are intensely anti-union which is fucked. That said, Im pretty sure this story is fake ragebait, or at best the details have been highly edited to sound worse.
If she has a partner with an income then she isnt trying to afford $1400 rent on $1700 income
If she has a partner without an income, then the story is still sus af because no landlord would rent to someone for that far over 1/3rd of their income.
The math aint mathing. And $1400 is nothing in some places and is more than you need for a 2-3 bedroom house in others. Its all about location
I know we all love to bash Walmart, but it makes no sense that someone who earns $1700 a month after tax could qualify to rent a $1400 a month apartment. No landlord would reasonably do that, so this story is fishy at best already
Even if true, thats kind of the fault of the person who decided to spend 4/5ths of their income on rent rather than get a roommate or rent something cheaper

Fun fact, in Kansas the Arkansas River is pronounced as the “OurKansas” River
Raw red onion (cut up) with salt and lime is really good, and Im not even a big red onion person
