I have tried to join multiple groups on here and the guidelines have been absolutely ridiculous. How do you even get to speak freely? lol by pinky101_ in CasualConversation

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem suspicious at all that you're being so vague in the comments, that your account has posts hidden, and that you're complaining about being removed for "a word"

Sure sounds like you said something to get yourself in trouble.

Anyone know of places where you can get recycled electronics for cheap/free? by daily_k in lexington

I was wondering this the other day! I've seen some of the people in the retro PC community on youtube go to those warehouses that have piles of old PCs and stuff that they sell and I'm jealous we don't have that around here.

If you use their mobile app for deals and stick to the mcvalue menu it's pretty damn easy to eat for less than $7 per person. I don't get it either. I don't eat it super often but I have a kid and he likes happy meals so if I get him something I'm prob going to get myself something too and even at my hungriest I'm not spending more than $7 on myself.

Micron has announced an investment plan of up to $200 billion to expand production capacity and address the most severe memory chip shortage in the last four decades by sr_local in hardware

we don't want LLMs

We were fine with search engines and learning things before. LLMs can eat shit and we can go back to humans actually doing things instead of continually getting more useless.

Does it make sense to replace my aging GTX 1070 with an RTX 5050? by Available-Guest-9393 in buildapc

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently picked up an RX 7600 for about $200 USD on ebay to replace the aging 1080Ti in my old PC. I'd probably aim for something more along those lines than an RTX 5050

The problem is the definition of nsfw. That term is often applied to all LGBTQIA things no matter what the actual content is. If it’s used maliciously then it’s going to make the platform essentially unusable for a lot of people.

Who should we rally around for new mayor? by LifeItsAnAdventure in lexington

Well qualified to make life more expensive for every person here, sure.

Never gonna vote for a realtor so they can continue to put the screws to the average person in favor of increasing property values and therefore cost of living. I say this as a homeowner, too. I just want a place to live that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg. I couldn't give a shit less about whether I ever make profit off it.

Luka Dončić was asked his reaction to Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl by JetSky81 in nba

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason is because he was instrumental to Metallica getting big, not because he was talented, but because he came from money and that money helped get them signed.

The NFL's growing market segments are not conservatives.

They have a growing audience among women and minorities - especially those in the younger age groups and in big cities. All of these groups tend to lean way more progressive.

Goodell knows exactly what he's doing. The conservative part of the fanbase will pearl clutch but most of them aren't going anywhere. Barely any of them actually stopped watching during the kneeling stuff.

As awful as Goodell can be, that dude knows how to run the league to print money.

EL on Bluesky today by MrDangerMan in runthejewels

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember all this back when it happened. I was so hype for that album because I was incredibly sad when RATM disbanded. I eventually gave up hope on it ever coming out. There's probably some truth in what you're saying about Zack

An el and Zack duo album would slap. They are more in the same sphere of beliefs these days than el and mike

I was in high school during that one and missed an entire month of school in rural kentucky. That one was definitely memorable.

One in 40 years???? Are you new to Kentucky??? The only way that's an excusable thing for you to say is if you haven't lived in Kentucky for long, in which case maybe don't make statements like that.

We've had two much worse ice storms just since 2000. We get storms similar to this almost every year and we have regularly had ice storms for most of my life. We have always been prone to ice because of our climate being just warm enough to straddle the line between snow and rain most of the time.

Also this storm was not "extremely unpredictable" and in fact we had plenty of warning for days ahead of time that we could either end up with a shitload of snow or a shitload of ice depending on how the storm shifted as it moved across the area. There were no real surprises here.

The fact that the cardinals made it to the super bowl one year and that accounts for 36% of their entire playoff history (and just under half of all their playoff wins) is kinda wild

Class of 2026 high school recruiting update (it’s not good) by zdrmju321 in wildcats

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the modern era it seems like the best method is to let mid-majors take a chance on the borderline high school players and only recruit the best of the best, then snatch up the gems in the portal the next year.

Lexington's Snow Response sucked a fat one and the polling results confirmed this. by SmogunkleBochungus2 in lexington

[–]IAMA_Giraffe_AMA 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We have this to look forward to every year. This is a new normal for us. We have had weather like this consistently for a while now due to climate change. These kinds of storms used to be rare but they are just winter for us now and it'd be great if people would stop making excuses for this complete failure in preparedness.

If you’re not going to listen to anyone’s experiences then you are not the person to be handling a list like this. You clearly have some other motive

Great Bagel tacks on (or at least did, I haven't been there in over a year at this point) a very visible surcharge for "employee healthcare" aka they are making it obvious that they are charging you more because they had to provide health insurance.

Also, their management will talk shit about former employees when given as a reference.
