OfCourseNot

The name of the baby? Albert Einstein!

It means ‘half joking’ but yours is funnier.

Them brows though. /hj

I used to do the ‘keep the change’ thing but I don’t pay much in cash anymore. I do tip (in cash of course, always in cash) deliveries in bad weather tho.

I was in the states a couple years ago and they were using cards like in the nineties. When paying at a restaurant they take it, then come back with the bill, you write the tip and sign it, and then is charged… my European (visa!) cards didn’t like that shit one bit and would get rejected half the times.

Over here, for the Americans, the server brings you the bill, if they don’t already bring the terminal you tell them you’re going to pay with a card. They enter the price, you put your phone or card close to it, they ask ‘d’ya want the ticket?’ ‘No, thanks’ ‘ok thank you! Have a nice day!’.

Because horses are living beings that probably would prefer not to be ridden around?

We had fava beans in Europe I think. But add to that list peppers, turkey, tobacco…

More than the south sure. As a tourist you wouldn’t have any difficulty getting directions or ordering at restaurants or things like that. Places where you can work effectively without any knowledge of the local language are more difficult to find. And those are the hardest countries to get in as a migrant.

Well in Germany there’s a greater percentage of English speakers than in other European countries, I don’t think there are many teams in Spain, Italy or France speaking in English.

I’m not in IT so my knowledge is not first hand but I do know that while there are jobs the competition is crazy, job offers for a single position or two get thousands of applications. For a company to hire someone on the other side of the pond op would have to really stand out from the other thousand applicants.

I don’t want to demoralize you just to be realistic. Those languages aren’t getting you very far (maybe try in Ireland or malta), English proficiency in the eu isn’t great. Also those fields you listed are super saturated.

When you say remote do you mean working from the states? A European wage with American CoL? I think many Americans think we’re paid the same as them. We are not. A waiter in the us prolly makes more than a (medical) doctor or an engineer over here, and I’m not talking about fresh out of college.

Hotels, bars, restaurants in some touristy areas in Spain (east coast, Mallorca, Ibiza…) do hire native English speakers. Also teaching English as a second language. But I’m not sure you’ll get many offers without being already here.

No, that’s not my assumption. Where did I say that? Rich people are mostly born, not made.

English is not my first language and I’m no expert in sewers maintenance so substitute whatever trade/job title instead of plumber.

I’m not against this robot quite the opposite. But I’m curious about the reaction when technology ‘takes the jobs’ of working class people like in this case (or you know last couple centuries) being very different than when it takes the job of artists, journalists, writers…

In which world they aren’t? Like if you have the option of working throwing paint onto a pice of cloth or taping bananas to walls would you chose to work with literal human shit to your knees and your elbows??

Also see my other comment, only 8% of artist (in the UK) are working class against A FUCKING 100% plumbers being working class.

Not trolling at all. I used to hang around an art school when I was a teenager, the vast majority of those kids came from pretty well off families. The small percentage that were of a more working class background were there to get into graphic design or the-like in college, so they didn’t end up being artists.

A quick web search gives that only 8% of artists are working class in the UK which is a wealthy country, I’d bet the percentage goes down in poorer ones.

Generative ai is also machine learning, and you could say that the ai is generating movements and actions for the drone. My question, that was not about the underlying technology or semantics, still stands.

So now all Lemmy is on board with this AI. Why is acceptable for technology to take the jobs of plumbers (usually poorer) but it’s evil for it to take the job of ‘artists’ (usually rich)???
