This is the second screenshot post today that asked why women used to have big hair and someone snippily “replied” that the hairspray is illegal now, which is objectively false. Only the CFC propellents are illegal. You can still buy a big ass can of AquaNet and spray your hair into the same big crunchy hairdo.
What are the odds of the exact same idea but with different photos and slightly different wording happening organically on the same day?
I’m not paying $640k for that thing for other reasons. What the hell was Ferrari thinking? Are they trying to make the ugliest Ferrari ever so they can say “see, nobody wants and EV”?
Is that some kind of gotcha or something?
The average car buyer does not want to buy an expensive EV just to have an EV and will buy a $40k Toyota Sienna before they buy a $60k VW ID.Buzz.
Pretty easy to grasp…It’s not rocket surgery. Make affordable EVs and not upmarket EVs and people will buy them. China figured that out.
Make it affordable and I’ll buy one tomorrow.
Let’s talk VW specific. I would absolutely love an ID.Buzz. But you made the fucking thing SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Without a doubt! LLMs are a fantastic tool. But they’re just a tool! They makes some tasks easier.
They’re not the mark of the beast.
They’re not Skynet.
They’re not even “artificial intelligence”. That’s all marketing.
Once this bubble bursts, humanity will be left with some great tools to move forward with.
Is that the right thing to do? Or is there even a right thing to do at all?
My parents are getting old. When the time comes is going along with it the right thing to do?
My biggest fear when I get older is losing touch with reality. I prefer reality to the untethered whims of my subconscious. Do I want my family to just go along with it?
Wow! Bro got branded? He’s gonna feel that in the morning. I’ll bet now after getting absolutely branded he’ll not be such a shitty person.
There is no etiquette. That’s a flawed argument.
The seats are designed the way they are by the airlines. They allow the minimum amount of space for the maximum amount of money.
The airlines could make all seats non-reclining with very little effort. But they would lose money because non-reclining seats would be a dealbreaker to a small but not insignificant number of customers…me for one.
The airlines could also make seats more comfortable and reclinable by allowing more space for each seat. But they would lose money because they would sell less seats.
The seats recline the small amount they do because of the natural equilibrium that the market allows between comfort and profit. End of story.
You peasants arguing about which other peasant is a terrible person are blaming the wrong people.
I’ve tried it. The ketchup flavor gets concentrated. It’s actually a neat idea and not an abomination against nature like a lot of the comments here. There are plenty of recipes online if you want to make your own at home.
The abomination is how Hellman’s had to dumb it down and call it “ketchup slices”.
There is no way I would be that close to those murder-chickens.
This confirms that they know. They know where the timeline split.
This is ketchup leather. It’s not a new idea; it’s been around since fancy burger places with wood walls and exposed edison light bulbs started to be a thing in the early 2010s.
It’s just dehydrated ketchup. It makes ketchup more of a topping than a condiment and helps prevent the problem of everything squirting out of the other side of the bun when you take a bite.
That’s the rub. They don’t even say “we are cutting workforce to invest in AI”, they say “we are cutting workforce because we’ve already replaced people with AI”, which they have not. They’re just such hype driven buffoons that they actually believe that LLMs are going to easily replace the people they just cut in their hubris.
Saying they’ve cut people to invest in AI is actually a little more honest because it admits that they haven’t actually already succeeded.
Jesus Christ.
There’s a difference between possible and probable. This headline is extremely misleading. It might as well say Clarence Thomas could have monkeys fly out of his butt on Monday.
Is it possible? Yes.
Is it probable? No.
I understand this is “a call to action” but the headline is disingenuous.
Yeah, Bezos pays almost nothing in income tax compared to his wealth.
Double of almost nothing is still almost nothing. So I guess he’s technically right, which is usually the best type of right…but.
I don’t like fishy tasting fish either. To me that means it’s old.
Cooked salmon is actually the fishiest of the restaurant style fishes. It’s always overcooked and the oils in it taste fishy.
Grilled mahi or a tuna steak is delicious.
Or if you can get a whole deep-fried sheepshead or redfish.
Blackened trout filets if you’re in the Appalachians.
None of those taste “fishy”, unless it’s old nasty shit.
Growing up as a lower class white kid in the USA, my main exposure to fish for the first 20 years of my life were cheap, frozen fish sticks.
Turns out good fish doesn’t taste “fishy” like old cheap gross frozen fish bits.
Maybe you’ve tried good, fresh fish and didn’t have my experience, I dunno. But I have had God-tier fish dishes that are in the same category as quality steak is to canned dog food.
I’ve felt that before. Just staring at the new beautiful machine in your driveway.
That feeling only really happens a few times in your life. Even when you get a new practical car doesn’t do it. It’s when you buy something so cool to you that it’s surreal. Doesn’t have to be expensive or over the top. It’s the one that speaks to you. Just let the feeling wash over you and enjoy the moment.
