I've worked in DCs for the last 7 years - Where is all this hysteria coming from about them taking water?

Out of the 10 DCs that I rotate throughout in my work week, I've only seen 2 tiny little water treatment rooms and no other places where water is supposedly stolen or siphoned on a massive scale.

I know they keep water in tanks on hand for sprinkler systems and yes, there's a lot but it's not like they need to replace water that they already have. Is it all propaganda?

Well it's funny nonetheless and a nice little homage to Family Guy. Also, how does the car dunking function? I've dropped two cars into pools now whilst on fire and still no achievement :(

Loving the Cleveland Brown reference (if that's the intention) of people falling out of knocked down houses in their bath tubs.

I rarely use AI and avoid at all costs unless forced to use it by my job.

Every time I do use it, it's usually incorrect and just adds time to the task. I nearly always end up having to refer to a physical book or previously written notes to get the answer I need.

I have no ill will towards anybody who does use it nor do I care who uses it – It's their choice if they would rather defer to a machine to make simple decisions.

>but more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than Israelis for the first time in American history.

Dangerous stuff there pal, AIPAC coming for ya now. /s

Other than that, this whole thing is very well written and thought out. I found myself bobbing my head in agreement repeatedly.

I also must point out this gem: "There is a great deal of ruin in a nation." – Very well said.

This response is AWESOME. I really enjoyed your perspective on what USERS actually SEE instead of what's under the HOOD, as you put it.

Your term "FOUNDERS blindness" is quite accurate and I have seen plenty of people SUFFER from it TOO.

Nice to see it only took you being told you're on the verge of almost dying to realize you're a nasty scumbag for what you did to that kid.

Hopefully the op goes sideways.

That's what I'm saying, he caught it because he wasn't using AI. So all the more props to him for it.

I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with it at all.

If someone is going to just throw away tons of potential candidates for the role because you're lazy and want AI to do your job for you, I think the candidate who did this should be rewarded for outsmarting your laziness.

OP is prime example of why you shouldn't let AI recruit for you.

Have you tried not caring so much about what total strangers (that have no effect on your life whatsoever) think of your online posts?

Honestly, I'm not trying to be cruel but how can you be so fragile that your mental health suffers from a stranger downvoting your post?

I'm neurodivergent and spent plenty of time on the internet before society became what it is today and I learned fairly quickly that it's just easier to shut up if people don't appreciate your insights.
