Pro tip, don’t ask AI abou anything factual since it just makes something up that it wants you to hear. There are thousands of resources available to you on numerous search engines that can tell you the information you want to know.

- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 22 hours ago:
Yeah, that was what finally pished me over the edge a few years back. Switched to Tidal and have been very content with with it. They pay artists better, the sound quality is better, and the dily discovery playlist throws some serious curve balls. I have wide ranging tastes so it blends a few genres for a few weeks before moving onto something else, and it has introduced me to some AWESOME music that i would have never encountered otherwise.
- Comment on True Motivation 1 day ago:
Heroin/fentanyl was the biggest example of this. Doctors were writing scripts for oxycodone to anyone who asked. Taking 2 of those for a month straight got people hooked. Buying oxy of the street is expensive, so they eventually had to move on to heroin/fentanyl.

- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 1 week ago:
Try Emerson Lake and Palmer. A lot of Emerson’s keyboard playing was inspired by English hymnal music.
- Comment on Here's what a Brazilian restaurant owner did after city hall banned sidewalk patio tables 1 week ago:
We can get rid of the parking spots and put the side walks there while ahopa can use the space outside their shop for whatever they see fit. It’s good for communities to have people out and doing things, not just shoved away inside somewhere.

It used to be that when i got a new video game for Christmas, i could just put it into the GameCube/PS2 and play it. No need to wait for everyone to alwo try and download the 40gb update that morning.
- Comment on Grok AI to be available in Tesla vehicles next week, Elon Musk says 3 weeks ago:
It’s because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.

- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 3 weeks ago:
It’s dangerously cold for maybe 10 days during the 3 months of winter where i live (temperaturs below 20F). Far from the 3 months of temperatures that never drop below 95 degrees in Texas. The Midwest, the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and mid to north Atlantic of the US are all well within normal human habitation ranges.

Seems like we shouldn’t encourage people to live in locations where being outside for 6 months of the year is hazardous
- Comment on Just.....why? 4 weeks ago:
Who is interested in that data other than Oral-B and their competitors though? Oral-B isn’t collecting that data to sell to itself, and they certainly wouldn’t want their competition using it
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 4 weeks ago:
They have been doing machine learning for novel proteins for over 15 years now. “AI” is just a buzzword grant writers have to add these days to have any chance at funding is all
- Comment on Connor Myers: As if graduating weren’t daunting enough, now students like me face a jobs market devastated by AI 4 weeks ago:
AI just gives executives an excuse to layoff their staff without spooking their investors.

You can still buy gros michel bananas, they just cost $20 a bunch because so few people grow them these days
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I live in a small town, so everyone at least knows who both judges in town are. 10 years ago one had a decent reputation, the other everyone hated because he was just a bully in the courtroom. He was suspended by the state for a year back in 2021 because he started harassing a woman at the back of the court room who was minding her own business, commenting about her brother who OD’ed the week before, and then held her in contempt of court for not submitting to a drug test.
Anyway, when his suspension was up he ran for his vacant seat to try and get his pension back. So I joyfully voted against that asshole and was very satisfied to see him get absolutely clobbered since everyone in town hated him.

- Comment on Bumble's AI icebreakers are mainly breaking EU law 5 weeks ago:
Bumble was my last straw for dating apps a few years back. I paid for a the premium service for a few months, then i started dating a girl so i cancelled it. I even had an email notification and everything saying it was cancelled. Four months later i was still getting charged, and they had zero customer service contact info to try and dispute it. So i called up my bank and disputed the charges, forwarded on the cancellation email, and then got a full refund from the bank.
Fuck dating apps. They profit off the misery and loneliness of people and have every incentive to keep you single and miserable.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 5 weeks ago:
I live in an area where half the vehicles on the road are pickup trucks and giant SUV’S. A KIA EV2 isn’t doing any added harm to the roads here.

I’m don’t having a functioning computer right now because i can’t afford even a used one. I’m just using the YouTube app on ny phone or tv
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 month ago:
I’ve got 500Mb fiber internet and YouTube refuses to stream above 360p unless i manually change it. Which each update becomes harder and harder to do as they hide the video quality button somewhere else.

Sure, but you won’t get guys at a bar trying to lure you onto pissing in their mouth or exchange Cleveland steamers. But most women have had a guy go straight to “nice toes”
