I like me a good rabbit hole that's interesting and also digs into stereotypes.
Turns out, like many memes, it's not just that. It's (also?) a normal speech pattern, used by different genders, ages, and social groups, in many languages.
This doesn't mean that vocal fry isn't used as social signaling. But complaining about it, well, isn't that social signalling too?

The tv remote sensor stopped working (and broke again after servicing), so now the only way to use the TV is by the LG app on my phone.. which asks for permissions to Nearby Devices, Location, Camera, Microphone, Notifications, Phone, Music&Audio...
I'm not sure but I think this is also the smallest time resolution.
Then each frame is composed of samples, but they seem to be counted in groups of 1/75th os a second anyway.
I'm on a 36gb M3 and I have to reboot it every three to five days to have it behave again.
I have normal dev apps open: a browser with jira, another with testing, another with documentation, an ide, teams, calendar, zoom.. it adds up very, very quickly. 16gigs are gone in the blink of an eye
ChatGPT (and copilot and gemini) instead all tell me "Love the intent here — this will definitely help. Let's flesh out your implementation"...
I have to tailor my prompts to curb the bias, adding a strong sense of doubt on my every idea, to see if the thing stops being so condescending.
Most useless message ever, placed exactly where you do not want it to be.
Lula hasn't nationalized industries, hasn't seized wealth, or even tried to, so "far left" doesn't seem to be as fitting. Where are the burnt churches?
Now, about corruption, I'm pretty sure neither shine, but that's Brazil for you. Wasn't the Bolsonaro family found to have bought around 50 properties in cash? Smells about as corrupt as the other side, sadly.
all these electron apps and invisible virtual machines (looking at you Claude) really don't help.
