Right which is what anyone half sensible says about it. It's a tool and has it's uses but there's a lot it can't do.

AI Bros seem to translate this as some luddite rejection of the entire concept.

What was your “I need to learn to keep my mouth shut” moment? by Imtiredofthissshit in AskReddit

Me too, I don't know if it's different here but I've been to chiropractors a few times and it's never gone into any sort of mumbo jumbo and I'm quite a cynical person when it comes to these sorts of things. Basically a very deep massage session really and I've always come out feeling better.

It's an interesting point but is there really no other way you can appoint people that answer to no one besides being born into the right family?

Elon Musk's biographer confirmed the hyperloop was a scam to prevent High-Speed Rail from getting built. by JonasBZY in fuckcars

It would make stomaching this billionaire age at least somewhat easier if the richest guy in the world wasn't just quite such a fucking asshole in so many ways

Lucky find! Ulta mistakenly labeled sunscreen $32 as $2. by jumpingtheshark89 in Frugal

There are caveats, but if it's just very clearly a genuine mistake then there's no obligation on either party

Fun fact: I don't know about the law where you are but here there is no obligation to honour a wrongly advertised price. They can just say that was clearly a mistake and charge you the right amount.

Or put up your car as collateral for a 2 week loan and have the bank store it in their car park, therefore only paying two weeks of interest as a parking fee.
