Holdup, are people not skipping the AI summaries entirely because the info is fucking shit?

Relieved to find this response below the others. Why TF would you search for a site i) whose URL you know? ii) waste space on your browser by adding the website as a search bar on your browser’s menu bar? How much time do people anticipate they’ll save by avoiding typing Wikipedia.org into the address field?

- Comment on Punters 'unlikely' to see millions in ticket sales refunded as long-running festival shutters 2 days ago:
That’s fucking lame, and a good recipe for losing all patronage for future events held by the company in question, assuming that it doesn’t declare bankruptcy before then. Who would pay for tickets for Bluesfest if there’s no guarantee that they don’t automatically lose 100% of their ticket’s value in the event of a cancellation?

Hell yes, all pie is good pie. Happy 3/14 everyone!
- Comment on Punters 'unlikely' to see millions in ticket sales refunded as long-running festival shutters 1 week ago:
This begs the question though, if the festival’s been canceled, then what happened to the money collected from ticketholders who no longer have a show to see? Seems unlikely that festival organizers could be held liable for non-refundable hotel reservation costs, but what about the cost of tickets?
- Comment on Microsoft's AI wants to be your medical middleman, but is a "Secure by Design" promise really enough for Copilot? 1 week ago:
Microsoft’s AI wants to be your medical middleman, but is a “Secure by Design” promise really enough for Copilot? Would you trust Microsoft with the “puzzle” of your medical records?
Short answer? No, and no.
- Comment on Adobe to pay $75 million to resolve U.S. lawsuit over fees, subscription cancellations 1 week ago:
So they’re going to knock it off with their stupid subscription model software though, right? Right?
- Comment on Meirl 1 week ago:
You joke, but I was talking to a friend about this just a few weeks ago. I always check both ways on one-way streets after almost getting struck by a taxi reversing at 50 km/h while I was crossing in front of a hotel, and coming within 1 ft. of crippling me. Never trust the signage, never trust the cars.

Not seeing it out here in the .world instance, but then again I’m not engaging with trans, autism, or furry communities as much as I think that you are. Sounds as though you’ve caught a homophobe troll’s attention, owing to the KYS & astroturfing DM, and false reporting. Bounce this upstairs to your instance’s mods, and let others know who they are.

Begging your pardon, but Eskimo is considered pejorative. The people in question called themselves Inuit.

They’ll offboard too, if they know what’s good for them.

OK so the forum is No Stupid Questions, but OP, I want for you to input a query into the search engine of your choice: “Which nations have thermonuclear weapons?”

- Comment on There aren't any ancient ruins with crazy traps and riddles 2 months ago:
Technically there have been ruins and tombs with traps and riddles. Take a look at some of the info about the Curse of Tutankhamun’s Tomb alone, including stuff like an anthropologist named Field having his house burn down, then flood after its rebuiling (purportedly because he had accepted a mummified hand as a paperweight which came with a cursed bracelet attached).
Granted, there’s no Myst or Tomb Raider-style tomb puzzles unless you count translations of ancient dialects used by the original architects/artisans/scribes/etc., but a lot of death has been associated with burial sites/tombs, whether or not you attribute them to curses or long-dormant mould being disturbed and breathed in…
- Comment on GTA's Ned Luke gets swatted for the 8th time while streaming with Red Dead's Rob Wiethoff: "there's so many douchebags out there, Rob" 2 months ago:
Let’s be real, it’s dumb even before someone gets killed. This is the human equivalent to a dog barking at birds/squirrels/rabbits/other dogs/the mailman that it can see through the front window of its house for the entirety of its life without reconciling that there’s no need to kick up a fuss - how in the fuck have they not yet acknowledged that there is no actual reason to deploy SWAT teams? Who the fuck are these people? There’s no threat to anyone, they know it, but continue calling it in and sending cops after it’s happened this many times?

Frankly, saying that it’s unbelievable is no longer workable, it’s been going on for far too long overall, and in this case for there to have been close to a dozen incidents without some recognition of the situation is unacceptable. It’s going to continue until someone is killed, then a working group will be formed to draft a list of recommendations, which will ultimately be ignored. How are they not ashamed to be so shit at their own job, apparently unable to reconcile the very obvious scenario playing out in realtime; this could have been resolved in 10 minutes without deployment of SWAT, if he’s broadcasting his gameplay live, worldwide over the web, the cops could literally pull up his stream and call him. This isn’t some random unknown person, with a 911 call coming in about noise/domestic abuse/firearm discharge/someone screaming for help because they’re getting murdered, they could literally see for themselves via an adult version of a nanny cam…
“We’re fucking halfwits, unable to resolve this situation by the normal, common sense means which anyone but Police would use. Embarrassing us with news coverage of our incompetence won’t work either, you’ll have to take us to court, win, obtain a settlement which will be paid by taxpayers instead of us, and we’ll do it again anyways. Just try to stop us, we dare you, suing us just makes us mad because we’re abusive, stupid little babies who can kick in your door, raid you with submachineguns and get away with it.” -cops

Stowing this for future use whenever someone I don’t like is nauseous. “If you think about it, the only real difference is that the puke is still in your stomach, just waiting to get out…”
