I'm not a member of either populace, but as far as I can tell from online discourse the male tinder experience would depend heavily on how hot they look.

Pretty much all untreated wood turns grey when exposed to prolonged sunlight?

That being said, I don't like that look in flooring. On a weathered fence or log cabin it's fine.

If a bill requiring 10% discounts at self checkout comes into law, they will all think the same thing: Increase the prices so the price at self checkout is the same, and people have to pay extra for a cashier.

The only way to realistically encourage corporations to reduce their margins within the current system is by establishing an alternative which is cheaper, and thus acts as competition which pushes the price down. So basically what Mamdani is doing with city-owned grocery stores.

The same goes for housing. Provide decent but simple housing at low rates, and the slumlords will either need to lower their margins or compete on quality instead.

He's been obsessed with his own inability to be cool for decades. Everything he does is a desperate ploy to have someone -- anyone -- think that he's cool. He burned that bridge with anyone who had half a brain years ago, so now he's trying to be popular with right wing assholes.

I don't think it's really about the movies. He always knew his success was temporary and just pumped out movies while he was still getting high paying roles. A lot of them were very entertaining, but everyone knew there was limits to how long that formula could keep going.

His public persona suffered quite a hit after the whole DCU thing I think. He really wanted to be Black Adam, but that character starts off as a villain. That was an issue, because Dwayne Johnson always has "I don't lose any fights" in his contracts. So obviously he can't be a movie villain, because the villain isn't supposed to win. So they skipped straight to where he is a hero, without the build-up, and everyone learned that his contracts require him to never lose a fight, which makes him come off as an ass, unlike his public profile prior to that.

Then he stages some kind of DCU coup which I'm not sure how he has the chops to do, and spends a lot of political capital on getting Henry Cavill back as Superman, but immediately after the whole DCU leadership is upended and all of that is scrapped. I don't know how that affected his industry connections, but I doubt it was in a positive way.

TL;DR: Everyone knew Dwayne Johnson wouldn't last, including himself, which is why so many movies with him were pumped out while he was still on top. Then he lost some popularity among fans and execs due to some DCU stuff.

My employer rolled out an AI-based bot which commented on code reviews. It was absolute garbage, and every single comment I ever saw it make was a false positive. Disproving the false positives was a huge waste of time. I hated it with a passion.

Recently it was upgraded with a modern model. Now I've only ever seen it give legitimate feedback. It's like night and day. Sometimes the feedback is overly pedantic, and more often than not suggesting an improvement slated for later, but still legitimate feedback with an appropriate tone for the severity.

I believe recent sentiment from the curl project (who previously complained about drowning in slop PRs), is that their AI-based pull requests have also improved significantly.

I'm still not a fan of AI-generated code, since I mostly think in terms of code and AI fucks up the process for me, but I have to acknowledge that quality of output has improved greatly the past year or so.
