At your job you are given the choice between two supervisors. Supervisor A is personable and makes an effort to come around at least twice a day just to chat pleasantly. Supervisor B only ever comes around when they need something from you, otherwise they may as well not exist. Assume that they are otherwise identical in supervisory ability. They’re both easy to contact, they understand your needs, and they’re quick to help when necessary. Who would you rather work for? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/3210))_ ---

You have a new supervisor at work. He or she seems fine. They have the expected qualifications, and there is no office drama about who got the job. You have no complaints. You go home and tell your partner/spouse (imaginary one if necessary for this poll), that you have a new boss. Do you mention that they are African American? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/3211))_ ---

I’ve got a deal for you. You get 100 million dollars, tax free. The only condition is you must never utter the word “the” for the rest of your life.

You have been paying a freelance transcriber to convert several thousand audio recordings and YouTube videos into Microsoft Word transcripts. She is paid by length, not by time. Having done manual transcription before way back in your own day, you know how exhausting it can be, and you pay her a very substantial rate accordingly. Money isn’t an issue; you have a big budget. It’s been a month now. Her work is of great quality - virtually no errors, the transcripts are just as you asked for. But it eventually emerges that she’s been using ChatGPT or some similar AI bot to do nearly all the heavy lifting - she is hardly exerting much effort at all, other than scanning each transcript to catch the odd flaw here and there.

[Not Everyone Has An Internal Monologue. Here’s What To Know. (bustle.com)](https://www.bustle.com/wellness/does-everyone-have-an-internal-monologue) > [@](#): > > An internal monologue — or dialogue, narrative, or inner voice — refers to the thoughts that run through your brain, says [Joni Ogle, LCSW, CSAT](https://theheightstreatment.com/our_team/joni-ogle-lcsw-csat/), a licensed clinical social worker. “Having an inner monologue is like having a discussion with yourself inside your head,” she tells Bustle. It includes asking yourself questions, internally reacting to what people say, and reflecting on experiences. It also often coincides with [vivid mental imagery](https://www.tiktok.com/@pucokie/video/6816794453785808134?lang=en), which can play out kind of like a movie. I have an internal monologue and I thought that everyone did. Turns out I’m wrong.
