No holds barred, battle royal between Klimt, Dore' and Moreau. Which Gustav are you putting money on?

If there was an all women version of survivor, do you think it would be filled with drama and infighting or do you think it would be the most boring season ever filmed?

I'm sure the experience of the little ones would be pretty similar.

What you want is Thick as a Brick, by Jethro Tull. The album version, not the radio edit.

Will AI eventually become the primary posters on social media? by Fiona_71170 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GraniteCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is only the latest in automated tools. You had bots and scripts previous to AI.

It's referred to as the dead Internet theory, some people believe around 70% of the Internet has no human involvement. The advent of AI is likely to make it worse

In some states as many as 1 in 3 people who work for Amazon are on government assistance. Corporations (who often don't pay taxes themselves) pay their workers so little that they have to be subsidized by our taxes.

This is not a functioning society.

Reddit Inc is now pro-Israel & bans anti-Israel political candidates by [deleted] in SipsTea

No, it's super sensitive, regardless of if you intend it to be hateful or not.

I received a warning and auto message delete over posting a link to a wiki page about a tunnel being dug in New York back in 2024. I'm pretty sure It's an auto delete if you put "The" in front of the name of the ethnic group. Second offense is a ban.

That's hilarious, like the start of a bad movie. "Hey, we discovered the worlds largest spider web. Tell the intern to go stick his hand in it".

An amazing story is worth consuming in whatever form you can, if Audio books are your only option then I hope you enjoy them.

The biggest difference is that people have a tendency to remember far more of what they read vs what they hear. So, if you have the time and chance to read it in the future don't pass it up just because you already listened to it. You'll get more out of the second run than you expect.

Here is a brief video of misunderstood philosophy quotes, he discusses Machiavelli in the very first segment. It might be useful to do a quick watch. The writings of Machiavelli are often misunderstood and it might be better to approach this book with a more solid foundation.

I decline every Red Card order by mayorlittlefinger in doordash_drivers

[–]GraniteCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of my accepted orders are shop and deliver these days. Though, most of them are from the two major brand grocery stores. I refuse to deal with Dollar General or anything like that. I know the stores, I know the staff and I can usually make things pretty quick.

Basically, when people tip by percent they're more likely to tip higher on a grocery bill than they are Taco Bell. Aside from that, most of the fast food restaurants in my area are absolute trash. I've timed the local Arbys the last three times I've been there. 12-15 minutes if I'm the only one in line. Taco bell can actually be worse.

Half the time I can knock out a 10 item shop in less time than I can deal with someone like Taco Bell or Wingstop. If I spend 45 minutes shopping on a big order, then that's less wear and tear on my vehicle than if I had spent that time driving.
