A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit

Emdashes might also be a sign that the commenter is a nerd
Yeah, or just someone that has read books before...

It used to make sense during the COVID lockdowns, but at least where I live most stores stopped offering that service soon after the pandemic
I used it during the worst of covid, especially because where I lived had multiple accounts of people being assaulted for wearing a mask. I had no desire to have to fight some disease spreading moron just so I could get groceries.

I guess I don't really understand the purpose, here... You don't like having rich friends?
What do you people think "rich" means?
-
it's such a fucking baffling concept to me, i don't even understand ordering groceries from the fucking grocery store, just go there and buy the stuff
ordering stuff just.. isn't better..
there's no benefit unless you simply cannot buy the thing in a nearby store.What do you mean there's no benefit? The entire concept is beneficial, which is why it's often so goddamn expensive. It's 100% convenience.

I'm always worried about this whenever I talk about the fairphone or framework laptop but I also sell Linux like a merchant so I think people get I'm just a nerd
TBF those companies don’t have the budget for a astroturfing bot campaign, or at least can’t afford the PR hit.

same thing, nerd

I've definitely had moments where I found myself in some random r/ and realized I wasn't sure if this was bot spam or actual humans. It's pretty dissociating to actually fully internalize the dead Internet theory.
user_name, the username so generic it has to ironically be human. Only thing missing is a number at the end

This reminds me of a time when i used to subscribe to Hydro Homies and there was always someone in the comments tryna hawk a Berkey water filter.
Damn that sucks. I prefer the refreshing taste of Mug Root Beer

Often times the services have a fleet of accounts, they have them do reposts of old popular posts with titles and some content rephrased, then some of the rest of the fleet copies the top comments and rephrases those and posts them below.
This builds a history of realistic and semi popular looking posts in a way that is fairly easy to automate . Anyone who looks closely could potentially figure out a given account, or even cluster of accounts, is farmed, but it takes effort and time to prove it, more effort and time than it takes for them to spool up another batch of bots.
They also buy active accounts with high karma and age. I got offered $100 in BTC for my account one time. I guess they did not look at how horny my comments were.

While [insert ad company name] products are a little more expensive, the quality and customer service are unmatched. It evens out when you use the [insert ad company name] reward card which gives 5% off each purchase.
I use {branded reward card} but use their {branded delivery service} for the low fee of {half average emergency fund} for the opportunity to feed their logicistic system my house data when I use {branded subscription model} and be charged what they feel the product is worth they week. The best part is the reduction in basal calorie needs as I slowly get too fat to leave the house.

This is a bad take. I use em dashes if I feel it's called for. It's just proper grammar. We probably shouldn't be making people dumb down the way they write so as to not be mistaken for AI.
Read some books, you'll see that it's used all of the time.
I use dashes all the time, but em-dashes? I don't even know how to type those. I guess I could long-press the dash on my phone and select it, but... why?
-
I don't think that's actually an unusual conversation for people who live in Manhattan to have. The comments about relative prices are accurate in my experience - I live on the same block as a Gristides and I still never shop there because of how expensive it is, even compared to Whole Foods. I get most of my groceries in Brooklyn on the weekends.
I also know a woman with a whole stack of different credit cards, so she always has the one that gives her the most rewards for whatever specific thing she's buying. I'm sure she has one for grocery shopping.
I buy all my groceries from Omega Mart, like a normal person.

Because that's how typography works? Why do you capitalize the first letter in each of your sentences?

.I used to work with a guy who would drink a Mug Root Beer
at every break. He was obsessed with that shit. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Able to afford to throw hundreds of dollars per month towards just the convenience of having food delivered.
Important to note that this doesn't account for the price of the food itself, or the fact that the prices are inflated on top of eating out, just the delivery fees and tips.

Best way to have forgetful username.

The horny just adds credibility

I only go to Whole Foods for a few specific stuff items that I can't get elsewhere due to food allergies. There is no way they are the cheapest place to get groceries.
They actually sell the cheapest veggies and tofu in my area. I honestly don't bother looking at anything else they have so I can't speak otherwise.

What does the comment history look like on those accounts? I’m guessing when you pay for the spam package, they create fake comment histories for the bot accounts.
I think it's usually a bunch of posts on sports subreddita right? And then a few other things too.
