just introduced my 9 year old to Futurama,
I fear Bender Bending Rodriguez is her new personality.
I’m glad she only asked me what blackjack is, which makes me worry that she’s already aware of what hookers are
Maybe she’s been getting into Rugby?
I just showed mine king of the hill, now my daughter won’t stop saying “guns don’t kill people, the government does” a la Dale Gribble. Futurama is next.
She’s 40% Bender now
Clank clank
AI is going to replace me?
Is is going to be a disappointment for my parents?
well, yes. But it’s also a disappointment to everyone else.
It already did.
gets sprayed with water gun by locals
in the hot Spanish sun, I’d appreciate that
This will definitely happen. Better not go to Spain.
Please don’t come to Spain for that. We have too many people coming for that and they bring more bad than good :(
I’m thinking of moving to Spain. Are locals ok with immigrants?
If you find that they don’t understand you speaking American, just repeat yourself, slower and louder, until they do.
The answer depends on a LOT of things. Most importantly country of origin.
If you’re from Latin America, most people won’t even notice. Since we already have huge amount of Latin American immigrants, so we are used to it.
If you’re from a “white” country, it’s very important that you are respectful to the local culture and try to genuinely learn Spanish. This is mostly a problem with tourists instead of immigrants, but most Spaniards hate with passion when foreigners complain about things not being in English/German/french/whatever.
If you’re from a “black” country, it depends on where you move to. In some parts of Spain you’ll inevitably face a lot of racism. In others, you’ll find groups of people that will try to protect you. But as always, there’s always at least some racists.
And of course, don’t do crime. But that goes for locals too.
And I think this is a global advice. But people will instantly judge if you are lazy or hard-working. If you help your local community without asking much in return, people will probably talk about how hard working you are, and even racists will probably say “for being for country X, he’s a nice guy”.
I’d say xenophobes are a reality but fortunately a minority and their xenophobia is generally low intensity. YMMV if you are poorer and/or darker, but I think in general you’ll be welcome if you are coming to stay, specially if you make an effort to learn the language. If the place you want to go has a regional language (Galician, Catalan, Basque, Asturian…) nothing gets to most locals’ hearts quicker than a foreigner learning that too (and the regional governments normally offer free courses).
Ever drink a 60 of rum, get fired and divorced the same day?
What’s a 60
60 grams? 60 milliliters? 60 sizes of banana?
Which Al? Bundy? Yankovich?

OK Google, handle this social interaction as if I was inebriated.
Google: Ok I overshared all your deepest secrets to everyone and then threwup. I think everyone hates you now
Another successful Saturday night in my book!
Ai will never grow into a Sr. Software Developer they will just code worse than the worst developer at your company. Unless they magically learn how to design good architecture, they won’t replace people in the long term. They are currently just creating more work overall by giving people the ability to create quick and dirty bad code. I inherited a tool vibe coded by a Jr. that will take me twice as long to fix it as it did to for them to make it. I am trying to convince my boss to let me throw it away and start fresh because it will save time but it is a hard sell.
Good luck putting AI in charge of project management, creating utterly useless teams meetings that are guaranteed to maximize the productivity wasted is a finely homed skill
Well, yeah, they’re kind of trying to use AI to do that, but since our resources are finite, they’re not doing a great job. Yeah, they’d rather run out of resources and collapse than replace us. They’re completely nuts there lol.
in spain? because anywhere else it would make it?
People would give you weird looks in other places.
Can AI do balconing?
That’s only because you can’t find a decent breakfast, might as well get shit-faced.
Shit-faced from six beers?
Is that the River Monsters dude? If so good luck replacing his crazy ass.
AI is going to replace you.
This reminded me of the dinner scene in A.I.
Eating and drinking will be our last bastion!
