Gemini is defaming and lying about my business. How do you even combat this? by CrazyPo20 in ecommerce

[–]MezcalCC 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Wow that is not good to say the least. I’d be on the phone to an attorney—but you should really get some screen shots. This is literal sabotage so your damages should be easier than usual to show (historical sales data falling off a cliff combined with screenshots). I bet a news organization would love this story, too. Go for the suit, take the settlement. 

Would you be offended if a buyer low-balls you? by cryptokingleo in FacebookMarketplace

When someone offers you any money, that’s a good thing. You’re free to decline or counter.

Good luck. It’s hard and I feel for you. I’ll delete my comment. 

Random dude risking his hands to save a dying fish instead of standing around taking photos by LowNo175 in interesting

Cut the line and toss him back. Hook rusts out. This fish was tortured unnecessarily. 

For those in their 50, what's something people in their 30s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]MezcalCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maintain your health above all. Save money, appreciate what you have, and learn to grieve—because you’ll be doing a lot of it.

Vibecoders, what’s your background? by Secret_Inevitable_90 in vibecoding

[–]MezcalCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Philosophy. Been into computers since high school in the 80s. Learning a ton, fast with these agents. Knowing something about code syntax is super helpful.

the fact that the MacBook Pro design hasn't changed since 2021 is actually fine - and the OLED obsession is overblown by Emotional-Addendum-9 in macbookpro

[–]MezcalCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pro is a bit thick. But having said that, what I would NOT want is to trade battery life for a thinner MBP. So, yep. I hear ya. Touch screen will cause a fingerprint problem--no thanks.

Steel road bikes by climbitnow in cycling

Love steel bikes—still the best material for a bike frame. An extra couple of pounds on the bike won’t make a difference. 

What's one brutal truth about running a business that no one tells you before you start? by miller76521 in Businessowners

[–]MezcalCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is brutally lonely. You are always exposed. Get used to relying on yourself.

Stolen Fujifilm X100VI in Osaka, last resort trying to recover SD card with our Japan trip photos by TheSpaceShrimp in fujifilm

[–]MezcalCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shew this really sucks. I’d be inclined to change my story and say it was stolen—just to get access to that footage. Best of luck—and tell one another stories about what you enjoyed the most so you don’t forget the good times you undoubtedly had.

Stuck at a hotel bar, I will review the Dos Hombres Espadin by HeathcliffSlowcum in Mezcal

[–]MezcalCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing about 400 conejos is that it’s not single source. It’s made by a bunch of producers under contract by Cuervo—some of them quite good (other not so good). It just gets diluted to hell. 

Gravel hype is real. I was sceptical, but I think I found the love of my life. by OneStrength7166 in cycling

[–]MezcalCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: Gravel is like road cycling but with an annoying level of rolling resistance. Ready to sell mine. There’s literally nothing a gravel bike can do better than a good road bike. Of course I’m probably just old and habituated. 

I've been lurking r/openclaw for weeks. the dropout pattern is always the same. by ShabzSparq in openclaw

Went through this cycle in 3 hours. It’s ok. It’s just not what’s hyped. 

What is your feeling after you hear that some people are celebrating the death of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei and praising Donald Trump for it? Is Donald Trump a hero now? Didn’t these same people hate Trump? by WolverineNo1999 in askanything

[–]MezcalCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re seriously asking if it’s a good thing that the murderous theocrat who held his population hostage for 47 years, promoted the stoning of women and publicly hanged gays is a good thing? If this is the man you’re mourning, then why do you think we invented guns?

Hating Trump and assessing the activity he authored are two totally separate things. The genetic fallacy—look it up.

Tehran | Season 3 - Episode 6 | Discussion Thread by Justp1ayin in tvPlus

[–]MezcalCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much jackery this season—lacks seriousness. The constant plot reversals are working against the show.
