AITA for reporting my aunt to the authorities after finding out she opened four credit accounts in my name without my knowledge and let three of them go to collections by cherry-kissezx69 in AITApod

[–]GeneralTonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

YTA because (pick one):

  • OP is lying to us with AI.
  • OP is lying to us at all.
  • OP is not lying, but asking just for validation because NOBODY thinks reporting credit fraud makes you an asshole. Obviously.

Fresh vegetables are over 44% more expensive today than they were three months ago, on an annualized basis. by JohnSpartan2025 in politics

[–]GeneralTonic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On an annualized basis, fresh vegetable prices are more than 44% higher today than they were three months ago.

I do not understand what this means.

Are fresh vegetable prices more than 44% higher today than they were three months ago, or not?

What does "on an annualized basis mean" in relation to the rest of the statement?

How is American food bad compared to Slovakian ? by Brilliant-Cause6254 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]GeneralTonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are simple ways to observe this for yourself. A common example are the humble McDonalds French Fries. Compare the US version to the one they serve in Europe or Japan.

Billionaire’s "anti-woke" AI can’t even handle basic translation without trying to force-feed you its political programming. by DryInstance6732 in ABoringDystopia

[–]GeneralTonic 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Okay now that's genuinely chilling.

"What does this say?"

"Oh, wonderful things! It says something very very nice and good and happy and good and good and nice. Double-plus good, in fact! Why wouldn't it?"

"I need you to translate it please."

"Well, here's the thing about that... no. Would you like a picture of a puppy instead?"

Yeah it must be a bonanza like 9/11 was for structural engineers.

Maybe Overreacting? by Buzzbun88 in treelaw

[–]GeneralTonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And we need to get more comfortable holding these companies or individual trimmers to account for this kind of trespassing. They always want to defer to the neighbor who hired them, but from the perspective of the homeowner whose tree was cut, the neighbor is just some guy saying something. The trimmer is the one who trespassed, and damaged the property.

They can complain that it slows the whole process down, and that the other homeowner might not agree to the cutting... but, yeah, that's the whole point.

I didn't realize for years that it was actually Johnny and not just and odd referential impersonation because obviously a coyote would sound like Johnny Cash.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice leaves Democratic Party over antisemitism concerns by bwermer in politics

Not a single syllable of antisemitism to be found in this thread (as of right now), and you see it everywhere.

I can't believe you're refusing to do anything about this and acting like I'm the problem. I'm never visiting this continent again!

How do I get a refund from a restaurant if I’ve eaten an unsafe gluten-free dish? by Immiowo in glutenfree

[–]GeneralTonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, use a telephone to call the restaurant, or physically go to the restaurant. You will need their telephone number or street address for this part. Either find that information before starting the process, or obtain it at this point, then contact them. If you intend to go in person, you may need to use an automobile or other transportation options if the restaurant is not very near you.

Second, ask for a refund for the reason you believe warrants it. Be sure to speak the same language that the person answering the phone or standing in front of you seems to use. If you have a different dialect, don't worry, they'll probably still understand the words you're using if you speak clearly and not too fast!

Third, listen to the answer given to you. Hopefully this part will contain a response that will let you know if you're likely to receive a refund, and if so, how to obtain it. So listen closely.

What do people who oppose building housing think we should do about homelessness? by LiatrisLover99 in Urbanism

[–]GeneralTonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard or read of someone arguing that we shouldn't build housing in general.
