Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.

I bet they'll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.

I struggle so much with this. People were already bad at reading emails and following instructions (e.g. ask them to answer 4 questions which I have helpfully listed below, in bold, and they answer the first one and call it a day) but now they just let the a.i. handle it. So instead of not getting answers, I get incorrect and unreviewed answers that just sound like they might be right.

Then of course when I do the work, and it turns out to be completely useless because it was based on bad information, and it needs to be completely redone. That means wasted hours of time and productivity for me with nothing to show for it. All because someone else wanted to save 5 minutes.

Depends on context and the skill in question. For example, in my office, good at technology means you know how to submit a ticket to IT and you don't have a panic attack if someone mentions excel.

She wasn't an adult yet so maybe she was still quite short? Even so I agree it shouldn't have cost her acting roles.

Good thing he said it's sincere! I was starting to doubt his well wishes.

Ladies, I am a curvy 13 year old but I still chase like a cat half my age! I am looking for my true love to spend the rest of my life with (must be Christian, no more than 5 years old, and orange).

I live with my parents and my siblings (one of them is a dog, the other is a jerk) and I WILL NOT groom myself so you must be willing to do it for me. I will complain the entire time.

No tabbies.

My cat is not very tech savvy.

Many governments cut social programs that would result in net benefits economically for society (e.g. disability services that mean more people can maintain jobs, education, family planning, public transit, all mean more money is being made overall including more taxes going to the government). But it isn't a direct enough benefit and it's hard to quantify, whereas slashing funding feels like immediate savings.

Imagine no longer paying for your phone service in order to save money, then being confused about why none of the jobs you applied to are calling you back. Same logic.
