I cannot tell what side of the argument you’re trying to be on here, gunna be real hokest with ya.

6€ is enough for you to give a sale to Amazon and take a sale away from a better business? That’s how cheap your morals are?

It super depends on what you’re buying. Personally, I just go without in order to avoid them. The only things I ever buy from Amazon are things I cannot find anywhere else that I need to have, such as water filters for the lead pipes in Montréal.

We don’t have the luxury to ignore how bad Amazon is. Amazon is aware of this and does everything it can to force you to buy from them by under cutting other businesses until competition dries up. Every time I can buy something for a little bit more and skip Amazon that’s a huge a win for everyone from the original supplier, the more local store selling it, and the working class in general.

Edit: Reading and writing more comments, I’m gunna find a way to get those filters from elsewhere even if they cost a bunch more.

The only stories I’ve ever heard of involving AI are told by people who, once again, are unable to see how their increase in productivity is not being met with a reduction in work hours. Unless, or course, “reduction in work hours” means they are being shown the door so a different idiot can do kore work for the same amount of pay.

Why does everyone feel the need to do as much as possible as quickly as possible at all times of every single day? And why are most people I talk to using ChatGPT to replace Google searches so they don’t need to actually think?

We all need to slow the fuck down.

Do…do you know how a jury works?

Something tells me fighter planes don’t get updates from anything other than a computer plugged directly into them.

Some people are broken. They’re the narcissists and psychopaths and people who refuse to address their trauma(having trauma is fine, doing nothing about it and making it everyone else’s problem is less so) who we keep handing power to for some fucking reason.

She had good momentum at the start with the brat summer thing and calling conservatives weird and then, very suddenly, she threw it all in the trash and started running around with Liz Cheney. They saw her amping up the progressives and needed to put a stop to it and whether it was her idea or not she jumped in there with all her energy.

She could have won, she didn’t lose by much, but she desperately spent the last month or two making sure that everyone knew she would rather lean conservative than progressive.

Yea, after read the original story shown in the article there was certainly better writing. Like the moral that you shouldn’t back someone just because you think they must be smarter than to challenge a runner to a foot race while having nary a leg in sight. Oh, and I went right by, on purpose, the wise owl trope. But yes, it’s likely there as an answer for that reason.

The whole situation’s a mess. I often get in trouble, even at 30 years old, for “asking too many questions” or wanting more detail. Even in French class yesterday the teacher was asking us to form opinions on headlines and I was arguing because I cannot form an opinion based on a headline. I understand the exercise was a language one, but it still matters.

Without reading the article(and therefore knowing the desired answer):

No one actually explained why they ate the pineapple. I would say that they wouldn’t have eaten the pineapple due to their amusement, but “annoyed” can be inferred, “hungry” is possible since it’s been a few hours, and “they wanted to” is fine.

As for wisdom, I would argue that the owl(“the” implying that the owl is real, in my interpretation, because I want it to mean that) is the wisest for not having attended this foolish event which wasted everyone else’s time. The hare raced a fruit, the crow had a decent idea but was foolish to claim it so decisively, and the moose couldn’t understand the intention behind a common saying. Of course, the question is about who is the most wise, not about who is wise, so foregoing the owl idea it’s a whole other thing.

Just gotta read the article now and figure out if I’m supposed to be dumb for even trying or whatever lol

I just skip over that stuff. If they’re cute but otherwise just expect me, a person who can’t know anything about them, to show up and figure it out then I’m just going to move on. It’s annoying that it takes up space but I otherwise just ignore it. Same with anyone who has reduced themselves to a universally palatable version so as not to be too challenging.

Government crime as funded by the rich and greedy, to be more precise. The government isn’t simply working with the rich but was actively bought and paid for and is not executing the job they were paid to do.

Been trying Hinge and there’s lots of space and opportunity for it. What I’ve discovered/had validated is thay most people are just painfully cookie-cutter. Some are not, and it’s why I still use it.

ahem

It’s for online communities, group chats, and audio/video calls with streaming built-in. It’s really very good and incredibly easy to learn how to use, but recently it’s been pulling some increasingly concerning shit. Started simple and clean, then started adding shit for who knows why.

In this case it’s to please the anti-porn companies and places like the UK.

Except that they’re not putting anywhere near the amount of effort I’d hope they would need to influence people. Look at how awful Trump is, how openly disgusting he is, and yet them just saying “no that’s fake actually” is enough.

People like these awful things and they want to be “influenced” so they can pretend, amongst themselves mostly, that they were fooled.

You must have the pleasure of not knowing those people, then. A lot of people genuinely still believe in trickle-down economics and the like.

My friend’s dad has an m235, maybe 4-5 years old now? You can’t hear the exhaust without the windows down and it’s got fake gurgles anyway, the shift throw is a mile long, and the clutch feels fucking awful. It’s fast but you can’t really feel it, not to the degree you would expect to anyway.

Meanwhile my 2015 BRZ shifter, especially with a heavier shift knob, feels awesome. Pulled the “assist” spring off the clutch pedal and now it’s perfectly linear. Maybe you could do the same to the BMW but it wouldn’t fix the throw length. The car’s not fast, but it’s not slow and at least I can feel and hear it.

If you want a good car, buy a Subaru. The BRZs are incredible and the WRX, even the new ones though I do have criticisms, are pretty slick.

Vans: For when you want a truck but you also want it to be actually useful.

They’ll stop using it when people stop falling for it.
