A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit

I’m just like you. Perfectly relatable. And definitely no an AI bot
Using fifty forged IDs. -
Great. Saving to use when appropriate.

Is this the kind of AI ads they were talking about?
Maybe. Some people are this basic though. Not that that's a good excuse.
-
Making sense tbh.
Report them for hate speech.
-
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.
You do realize that the people you should be angry at make hundreds to thousands of times more than a person who can afford delivery apps makes, right? You have been fooled into hating your own class.

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?
Because people have their own styles of writing, and some people like the way they look/the rhythm they provide a sentence or paragraph.
I'm not kidding when I say to read some books. They're everywhere in actual literature.
-
You know, use of long dash is the same kind of tell as an image having 6 fingers. Not impossible to find in human interactions but generally very rare, especially in online conversation. (I'm not even sure if my phone can do a long dash, just these fellows: ---).
Oh, that's me--I'm the exception! I use them all the time. Blame autism, not AI.

Last night I brought up a Burger King meal I saw on a commercial to my friends in IRC. We all agreed it was less expensive than we thought it would be and one guy actually ordered it. Some of us ARE that basic, lol.

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.
Don't forget to add a typo in the title of the repost for extra engagement!

Dead internet here we come.
This is the direction Reddit has been pointed in for years now.

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.
That seems bizarre based on the prices I see, maybe they are intentionally undercutting the others locally in your area specifically. Whole Foods was by far the cheapest place to buy eggs earliest this year and were obviously using them as a loss leader (we're talking less than half the price of standard grocery stores in the same area).
-
Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.
Unapologetically filtering young families and old people out of my life...
-
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.
All I know is that at least Whole Foods is better organized. I used to live next to a gristedes and I hated that store, I’d shlep to Trader Joe’s.

The other Red Hat

A reminder that "cashback" credit cards are paid for by big fees on transactions which the store pays, forcing them to raise prices. It's literally anticompetitive

The other Red Hat
Having just migrated some legacy stuff off CentOS 7, I would rather fly to south africa and give mark shuttleworth a blowjob myself than pay a single cent to redhat.

It's not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it's dark.
Given the extremely high cost of eating out compared to buying some frozen shit/random stuff for quick lazy meals at the grocery store I don't think that makes financial sense. On the other hand I'm not going to fault people for choosing to eat out/eat delivery because they like it and can afford it

It's also worth noting that free range and organic eggs got hit waasaay less than your average factory farm egg, therefore it probably hurt Amazon a lot less to keep eggs low compared to other grocers.

Uber eats/doordash is a different level. I don't use them unless I have a gift card.
Instacart and similar as mentioned here do upcharge but it is just regular groceries so I can cook and eat at home. It's on a basis of time=money. I want back the time I'd have to spend grocery shopping so I'll spend money for it. If I ever get employed somewhere with reasonable public transit or safer biking that may change.
